FAQ: RETRIEVING STANDARD VS. CUSTOM FIELDS

Why aren't standard fields listed under Objects when selecting entities to retrieve?

Due to performance limitations, standard fields are not listed under the objects.  This is done intentionally in order to provide the best user experience for the most common use case of setting security for custom fields.  Retrieving the list of standard fields for each object during the connection process would slow down the connection process significantly.


If you want to analyze or deploy security of standard fields, retrieve the object with all fields selected.  Retrieving the object with all fields selected will retrieve the following entities related to that object:

  • All standard fields of that object
  • All custom fields of that object
  • Object level security
