Statuses
Delayed check-in form data
When a booking still needs check-in-timed legal documents or custom fields, sendX-Supports-Dynamic-Form: true.
Without data.attributes.meta.form_data:
- supported client → scan is created with
data.attributes.status: "requires_details"anddata.attributes.meta.form_url - unsupported client → HTTP 400,
scans.check_in_requires_details_unsupported
data.attributes.meta.form_url, then create another scan with the collected values under data.attributes.meta.form_data.
Top-level form_data is not accepted on POST /scans (unlike the booking check-in action). Submit details only via JSON:API attributes:
form_data object uses the same shape as POST /api/v1/bookings/{id}/check-in. Invalid values return HTTP 422. Submitted form_data is processed and not persisted on the scan record.
