# 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 {

	}

	serviceManagement.Auth.SetBasicAuth(mail, token)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

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

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
