- Description
- The unique name of the object in the API. This name can contain only underscores and alphanumeric
characters, and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include
spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. In managed
packages, this field prevents naming conflicts on package installations. With this
field, a developer can change the object’s name in a managed package and the
changes are reflected in a subscriber’s organization.
When
creating large sets of data, always specify a unique DeveloperName
for each record. If no DeveloperName is specified, performance may
slow while Salesforce generates one for each record.
