Steps
Call GET /v4/records/describe/create with the target record type to retrieve the attributes the agency requires for that record type
Call GET /v4/settings/records/types/{id}/customForms to check whether custom forms are configured for the record type
Call GET /v4/settings/records/types/{id}/customTables to check whether custom tables are configured
Use the returned required flags and valid dropdown values to build a submission form that matches the agency's business rules
Submit the application using either POST /v4/records (full create) or POST /v4/records/initialize plus a later Finalize Record call for partial/save-and-resume applications
Known gotchas
Create Record does not support including custom forms/tables at creation time; agencies that require them must use Create Partial Record + Update Record Custom Forms/Tables + Finalize Record instead
Required attributes and custom form/table configuration are agency- and record-type-specific, so this describe call must be repeated per record type rather than cached globally
