    - `creator_id` string, required: Public communications ID of the quote creator

    - `updated_ts` string, date-time, required: Timestamp when the quote was last updated

    - `rest_remainder` boolean: Whether to rest the remainder of the quote after execution

    - `creator_user_id` string: User ID of the quote creator (private field)
    - `rfq_creator_user_id` string: User ID of the RFQ creator (private field)
    - `rfq_target_cost_dollars` string: Fixed-point US dollar string. Most request fields accept 2-4 decimal places (e.g., "0.56", "0.5600"); responses emit up to 6. Valid quote intervals for a given market are constrained by that market's price level structure.
    - `target_cost_excludes_fees` boolean: True when the RFQ's target cost is principal-only and the contracts-offered sizes were computed without reserving taker fees (fees are charged on top of the target cost).
    - `rfq_creator_order_id` string: Order ID for the RFQ creator (private field)
    - `creator_order_id` string: Order ID for the quote creator (private field)
    - `creator_subaccount` integer: Subaccount number of the quote creator (visible when the caller is the quote creator)
