Behaviors

The @behaviors service lists the behaviors that can be enabled on Dexterity content types. It is available at the site root, and requires the Plone Site Setup: Overview permission, as well as permission to use the REST API.

Use the Content type management service to enable behaviors on a content type, and to change their order.

List behaviors

Send a GET request to /@behaviors to list every registered behavior.

python-requests

requests.get('http://nohost/plone/@behaviors', headers={'Accept': 'application/json'}, auth=('admin', 'secret'))

The response contains @id, items, and items_total. The items are sorted by name, and each has these properties:

Property	Description
name	Behavior ID, as used in the behaviors of a content type. Behaviors without a short name use their interface identifier.
title	Translated title.
description	Translated description.
fieldsets	The fields the behavior adds to the edit form, by fieldset, each with an id, a title, and the names of its fields. Empty for behaviors that add no fields.

Every behavior is listed once, although it is registered under its name and its interface identifier.
