Type: picklist
Properties: Create, Filter, Group, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update

CnfgItemTypeIdentRuleId

Type: reference
Properties: Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update
Description: ID of the identification rule to which the field mapping belongs.

DeveloperName

Type: string
Properties: Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update
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. This field is automatically generated, but you can supply your own value if you create the record using the API. 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.

MasterLabel

Type: string
Properties: Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update
Description: The label for this configuration item type identification field mapping value. This display value is the internal label that doesn’t get translated.
