Sandeep TechAffinity How to find sObject Columns field API names for the ListView creating using Metadata API?
Hi Guys,
I am trying to create ListViews using Metadata API, according to this Link
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.232.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_listview.htm
Field names in the ListView columns don’t always match their API name counterparts. If person accounts are enabled in your organization, standard fields merged from a contact into an account start with the PC_ prefix, while the corresponding API name starts with the Person prefix. For example, the ListView column name is PC_Email for a corresponding API field name of PersonEmail.
API names are not forking for example the Contact name API name is "FirstName" but in metadata, it takes like "FULL_NAME" (I just took randomly it is not working for other fileds)
Can anyone help me how to find out the field API NAme?
