Object Info
| Property Name | Type | Description | Filter Group and Version | Available Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| apiName | String | The object's API name. | Small, 41.0 | 41.0 |
| associateEntityType | String | If the object is associated with a parent object, the type of association it has to its parent, such as History. Otherwise, its value is null. | Medium, 50.0 | 50.0 |
| associateParentEntity | String | If the object is associated with a parent object, the parent object it’s associated with. Otherwise, its value is null. | Medium, 50.0 | 50.0 |
| childRelationships | Child Relationship[] | The object’s child relationships. | Medium, 41.0 | 41.0 |
| createable | Boolean | Indicates whether the object can be created. | Small, 41.0 | 41.0 |
| custom | Boolean | Indicates whether the object is custom. | Small, 41.0 | 41.0 |
| defaultRecordTypeId | String | The ID for the default record type for this object, if any. If there isn’t a default record type, this value is the master record type, which is 012000000000000AAA. If the record is a nested record (for example, in a request for an Account, the User object is a nested record), the value is null. | Medium, 41.0 | 41.0 |
| deleteable | Boolean | Indicates whether the object can be deleted. Only available in API version 41.0. In API version 42.0, we spelled it correctly. | Small, 41.0 | 41.0–41.0 |
| deletable | Boolean | Indicates whether the object can be deleted. | Small, 42.0 | 42.0 |
| dependentFields | Map<String, Object> |
A map of the dependent fields tree structure. Each
nested object is another Map<String, Object>. When the object is empty, it
indicates a leaf of the tree, which is a field that doesn’t control other fields.
An object can have multiple independent trees, which means this property can have
multiple root objects.
Imagine an object with the
picklists Continents__c, Countries__c, and Cities__c. Continents__c is the root.
Cities__c is a leaf. Continents__c and Countries__c are controlling fields.
Countries__c and Cities__c are dependent
picklists.
A field dependency causes the values in a picklist to be dynamically filtered based on the value selected by the user in another field. The field that drives filtering is called the "controlling field." Standard and custom checkboxes and picklists with at least one and less than 300 values can be controlling fields. The field that has its values filtered is called the "dependent field." Custom picklists and multi-select picklists can be dependent fields. |
