I've been trying to find out the required fields for some objects but was not sure how I could do this. For example the User object has details specified as follows http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_user.htm#topic-title How can I find out from this though which fields are actually required fields when creating a new user & which are not?
In salesforce.com, several entities (contact, account, lead, etc.) have one or more "address" fields. When you look at the wsdl, you can see that the "address" is actually comprised of several fields - street1, street2, street3, city, state/province, postal code, and country.
The problem is that the wsdl does not tell you the maximum field lengths for the various components. During some importing, I have discovered that the city field can only be 40 characters. Short of running a series of tests, can anyone provide the limits on the various fields that make up an address.
It is the sort of thing that should be published somewhere.
