Budget node — entity type

entity type (BudgetNode.entityType) is a field stored on each budget node record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the budget node record's data. The entityType field belongs to the budget node it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set entityType while working with that BudgetNode record. Because entityType is part of the BudgetNode record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the budget node.
