Synopsis

Return Value

Boolean Object create status:
True = Object successfully created.
False = Current object already has an ID, or unable to create a new entity. Object not created.

Example

from splunk.models.base import SplunkAppObjModel

class MyAppModel(SplunkAppObjModel): if MyAppModel.create():

   ... elided ...

else:
