  - `modified` string, date-time: Last modification time.
  - `created` string, date-time: Creation time.
  - `entity_api_name` string: API name of the entity this mask is configured for (e.g. "Account", "Contact", a custom entity's API name).

  - `mapping` object, required: How the import file fills each field, as a JSON array of objects conforming to the `ImportMappingMaskItem` type: field_id, mapping_type (ColumnIndex, UseDefaultValues or CalculateValue) and, for ColumnIndex, column_index. Validated on write.
  - `name` string, required: Display name of the mask.
  - `owner_id` string, uuid, required: Id of the owning user.

  - `revision` integer: Revision when entity was lastly changed.
  - `sharing_clients` object[]: Users granted shared access to this import mapping mask (custom share mode).

    - `mapping` object, required: How the import file fills each field, as a JSON array of objects conforming to the `ImportMappingMaskItem` type: field_id, mapping_type (ColumnIndex, UseDefaultValues or CalculateValue) and, for ColumnIndex, column_index. Validated on write.
    - `name` string, required: Display name of the mask.
    - `owner_id` string, uuid, required: Id of the owning user.
    - `relation_types` object: Record type selected for each mapped relation field, as a JSON array of objects conforming to the `ImportMappingRelationType` type, each with field_id and entity_type_id. Validated on write.

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request: a bad or unknown parameter (codes 117, 118), a missing permission (code 50), conflicting data (code 2002) or any other API error. The REST API answers 400 where others answer 403 or 409; check `code`.
- `401`: Not authenticated: missing or wrong credentials, a credential of another space, or an expired token (code 401, ERROR_UNAUTHORIZED).
- `422`: Validation failed (code 40000, with the failing fields) or a required parameter is missing (code 119). By default one failed item fails a whole batch and nothing is written.
- `429`: Too many requests (code 182). Wait for the seconds in Retry-After, then retry.
- `500`: Unexpected server error (code 1000, ERROR_UNKNOWN).
