Field Integration Name

Each field has a unique Integration Name that is used by formulas, templates, and Platform APIs. This name must be unique across all fields in an object definition. When you create a new field, Platform automatically assigns an Integration Name derived from the display label; you can change it at any time. Integration names for system fields and automatically created fields cannot be changed. Infinite Blue recommends using a naming convention for fields. Changing the Integration Name will affect all existing templates, formulas and integrations that use that field.

A field Integration Name must conform to the following rules:

  • Cannot be more than 20 characters long.
  • Must start with a letter.
  • Cannot include space ‘ ‘ or pound ‘#' characters.
  • Must be unique (case-insensitive) across other field integration names in the same object.
  • Must not be one of the reserved system integration names:
    startdate, duedate, act, id, id2, ids, srcid, destid, objdefid, cloneid, 
    returned, view, actionid, relid, relatedid, gridid, gridrows, griddeleted, 
    country, state, priority, commtype, category, isactive, Fieldname, tag
