# Type

An object type represents a group of similar objects in an *object schema*. These objects share *attributes*, and other characteristics that make them useful to hold information about a certain type of asset or service.

Each object type can have a single parent object type and multiple child object types. You can configure inheritance so that child object types automatically receive the attributes of their parents and pass their own attributes to their children.

Similarly you can set some object types as abstract, meaning that they can’t contain any objects of their own but can pass their attributes to their children, who can themselves contain objects. Inheritance and abstract object types can be used to create object schemas that are both simple and powerful.

### Get object type

`GET /jsm/assets/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/objecttype/{id}`

The ***Get*** method finds an object type by id

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```go
package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/assets"
	"github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/jira/sm"
	"github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/pkg/infra/models"
	"github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {

	var (
		host  = os.Getenv("HOST")
		mail  = os.Getenv("MAIL")
		token = os.Getenv("TOKEN")
	)

	serviceManagement, err := sm.New(nil, host)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	serviceManagement.Auth.SetBasicAuth(mail, token)
	serviceManagement.Auth.SetUserAgent("curl/7.54.0")

	// Get the workspace ID
	workspaces, response, err := serviceManagement.WorkSpace.Gets(context.Background())
	if err != nil {

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.go-atlassian.io/jira-assets/object/type.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
