When working with API names for objects and fields they will often have suffixes such as __c and __x.

What suffixes are there and what do these API name suffixes indicate?

  • Do you mind if I convert this to [canonical-qa] and make both posts wikis?

    @Peter. Thanks. I was inspired by @metadaddy's and @jonbruce's BigObject presentation today. Which made me realize, I've missed __b!

    __md was only used in a developer preview of custom metadata records-- it's no longer used (although __mdt for types is).

    @DanielBallinger This should probably be a Community Wiki.
