Abstract
An external data service can be integrated to enhance the metadata of workflow data fields. In response to processing a data field, a request may be sent to a metadata service for a metadata associated with the data field. In response to receiving the metadata, the metadata may be applied to the data field such that the data field as presented in a user interface is constrained according to one or more characteristics defined by the metadata.
