Get Default Values to Create a Record

The response contains the default field values for the Full layout type for a new record of the object type specified in {objectApiName}.

It also contains the corresponding layout for create mode. In the Salesforce user interface, an admin with “Customize Application” permission can mark a field as required in a layout. When you’re building UI, to determine which fields to mark as required in a layout for create mode, use the RecordLayoutItem.required property.
