            Custom object fields store the data for your custom object records.

            Custom Fields for Custom Objects

            You can create custom fields to store information unique to your org. You can also create custom relationship fields to associate your custom object with another object in Salesforce.

            Standard Fields for Custom Objects

            Custom objects automatically include these standard fields. Click Edit to modify any of the editable fields.

            Field NameDescription
            CreatedById ID of the user who created the record.
            Currency Currency of the record if multicurrency is enabled.
            Division Division to which the custom object record belongs. Custom objects that are “detail” objects in a master-detail relationship inherit their division from the master object. Custom objects that aren’t related to other records are automatically in the global division. Available only in orgs that use divisions to segment their data.
            LastModifiedById ID of the user who most recently changed the record.
            Name Identifier for the custom object record. This name appears in page layouts, related lists, lookup dialogs, search results, and key lists on tab home pages. By default, this field is added to the custom object page layout as a required field.
            OwnerId

            ID of the assigned owner of the custom object record. If the custom object becomes the detail side of a master-detail relationship, this field is removed, as ownership of the data is controlled by the master object, or by the primary master object for a custom object with two master-detail relationships.

            Custom objects on the detail side of a master-detail relationship can't have sharing rules, manual sharing, or queues, as these require the Owner field.
