Publisher

Represents the publisher of objects and fields. For example, Salesforce is the publisher for standard objects, the organization is the publisher for custom objects, and the package is the publisher for installed packages.

Publisher fields are exposed in SOAP API version 46.0 and later. You can use Tooling API to query for Publisher fields in guest user mode in API version 45.0 and earlier. In API version 46.0 and later, use SOAP API to get this data in guest user mode. Publisher is still exposed in Tooling API to User Profiles with the ViewSetup permission.

Fields 

DurableId 

• Type: string

• Required: No

• Properties: Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort

• Description: Unique identifier for the field. Always retrieve this value before using it, as the value isn’t guaranteed to stay the same from one release to the next. To simplify queries, use this field.

IsSalesforce 

• Type: boolean

• Required: No

• Properties: Defaulted on create, Filter, Group, Sort

• Description: Indicates whether Salesforce provided the associated objects or fields (true).

• Default value: false

MajorVersion 

• Type: int

• Required: No

• Properties: Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort

• Description: The first number in a package version number. A complete version number combines the values of the MajorVersion and MinorVersion fields into either an x.y format or an x.y.z format. The x represents the major version, y the minor version, and z the patch version. (The patch version can’t be specified; it’s automatically assigned when a managed beta package is uploaded.)

MinorVersion 

• Type: int

• Required: No

• Properties: Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort

• Description: The second number in a package version number. A complete version number combines the values of the MajorVersion and MinorVersion fields into either an x.y format or an x.y.z format. The x represents the major version, y the minor version, and z the patch version. (The patch version can’t be specified; it’s automatically assigned when a managed beta package is uploaded.)

If MinorVersion isn’t specified, the default value is 1 more than the minor version of the currently released package (0 if not released).

Name 

• Type: string

• Required: No

• Properties: Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort

• Description: The presentation-friendly name of the publisher.

NamespacePrefix 

• Type: string

• Required: No

• Properties: Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort

• Description: The namespace prefix associated with this object. Each Developer Edition organization that creates a managed package has a unique namespace prefix. Limit: 15 characters. You can refer to a component in a managed package by using the namespacePrefix__componentName notation.

The namespace prefix can have one of the following values:

• In Developer Edition organizations, the namespace prefix is set to the namespace prefix of the organization for all objects that support it. There is an exception if an object is in an installed managed package. In that case, the object has the namespace prefix of the installed managed package. This field’s value is the namespace prefix of the Developer Edition organization of the package developer.
• In organizations that are not Developer Edition organizations, NamespacePrefix is only set for objects that are part of an installed managed package. There is no namespace prefix for all other objects.
