  • What if I add a custom field on standard object.. I added a custom field and it's Id is 15 character alphanumeric. Right now I have to store the ID of the field in custom setting which is not a elegant solution as the Id will differ between environments. Hence wanted to retrieve the IDs dynamically in code.

  • Unfortunately the tooling API doesn't support that scenario at the moment. You can do that with this old hack (if that helps) - force201.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/finding-visualforce-field-ids
