Juan Romero Custom field names in XMLRPC describe call
Hi there,
I am working on a process to move accounts back to leads. As I was matching the columns I realized the names of the custom fields are 15 characters long (case sensitive). Even if I request case insensitive ID's, the server still returns 15 character ones.
Is there a way to get the 18 character IDs? Will I ever run intro trouble with duplicate case insensitive field names?
Thanks!
Hi Juan,
I've logged a bug for this issue. As a workaround you can use the algorithm for converting to caseSafeIDs if you need to.
(rename the attachment from .tx to .txt.)

Thank you DevAngel, I appreciate your help.
You had given me the algorithm before. I already have a component I made that produces the ID's >: )
Hi Juan,
Remember that when you are converting the id to manage the cf_ properly.
I remember reading about the cf_ . I believe it was used for custom fields but I cannot remember what it was for. Care to remind me?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Juan,
That's right. All custom fields start with cf_ because starting an element name with a numeric is not allowed in the xml or soap specifications.
