This document outlines what is included when a custom field is installed from one app to another, using Solution Launchpad.
What’s included?
The following data is included when installing a custom contact or company field:
-
Field Label
-
API Field Name
-
Field Type
-
“Always shown” checkbox
All field types are supported, as long as the destination app edition supports the same type.
Behavior notes
- When installing a custom field, if the destination app already contains a custom field with the same field type and API field name, then the custom field will not be installed again.
- Subsequent installations of the same field do not update the field in the destination, even if something has changed.
- Any items you are installing which reference the custom field will be updated to reference the existing field in the destination app.
- Custom fields have a limit - installs that would push the app beyond its custom field limit will fail. See more.
