Child Relationship

The child relationship on a parent object. Relationships are connections between records. Use relationships to display data about related object records on a record's detail page.

Property Name	Type	Description	Filter Group and Version	Available Version
`childObjectApiName`	String	The API name of the child object that contains the reference to the parent object.	Medium, 40.0	40.0
`fieldName`	String	The field on the child object that contains the reference to the parent object. Instead of defining relationships through primary keys and foreign keys, the Salesforce database uses relationship fields. A relationship field is a custom field that stores the ID of the related parent record.	Medium, 40.0	40.0
`junctionIdListNames`	String[]	A collection of fields of the type `JunctionIdList`. A `JunctionIdList` is a string array of referenced ID values that represent the many-to-many relationship of an underlying junction entity. Each ID in a `JunctionIdList` is a polymorphic key, which is an ID that can refer to more than one type of object.	Medium, 40.0	40.0
`junctionReferenceTo`	String[]	A collection of object names that the polymorphic keys in the `junctionIdListNames` property can reference. You can query these object names.	Medium, 40.0	40.0
`relationshipName`	String	The name of the relationship. A name for the child relationship that is unique to the parent. The name is the plural form of the child object name. For example, Account has child relationships to Assets, Cases, and Contacts, among other objects. Account has a `relationshipName` for each object: `Assets`, `Cases`, and `Contacts`.	Medium, 40.0	40.0
