Difference between Name and Code

[Former Member]

Hey Guys

I was going through documentation on Console and it mentions two properties(in addition to others),Name and Code.Both of these are Unique so whats the difference between them?

Thanx

Hi Saif,

Name of the field is used to identify the fields in MDM system for import and syndicate purpose.

While code is required when you need to refer to that field in your codes of any of the APIs.

Apart form that, it is very important to verify that no two codes of any objects like fields, lookups etc should be same.They should always be unique.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
