Creating Salesforce objects with custom fields requires tools that support all field types and custom objects without limitations. Many solutions only handle standard objects, leaving custom implementations behind.

You’ll learn how to work with every custom field type and custom object in your Salesforce org for comprehensive bulk data operations.

Complete custom field support handles any Salesforce configuration using Coefficient

Coefficient excels at creating objects with custom fields, providing full access to all custom objects and custom fields in your Salesforce org. The system supports every field type including complex relationships and validation rules.

How to make it work

Step 1. Access all custom field types and objects.

Coefficient supports every Salesforce custom field type including Text, Number, Date, Picklist, Multi-Select Picklist, Checkbox, Formula, and Lookup fields. Full support extends to any custom objects in your org, not just standard Salesforce objects. Field API names are used properly, ensuring accurate mapping even for custom fields with complex naming.

Step 2. Map custom fields using intelligent field discovery.

When setting up exports, Coefficient automatically discovers all available custom fields for your target object, displaying both the field label and API name. For custom picklist fields, the system validates that your spreadsheet values match available picklist options, preventing validation errors. Custom lookup fields to other objects (standard or custom) are fully supported with proper relationship validation.

Step 3. Handle advanced custom field scenarios.

While you can’t directly populate formula fields (they’re calculated), Coefficient can import formula field values to help structure your data. Record Type selection is supported when creating custom objects, ensuring records are created with correct page layouts and field access. Field dependencies and validation rules are respected with appropriate error messages when dependencies aren’t met.

Step 4. Create reusable templates for custom configurations.

Once you’ve mapped spreadsheet columns to custom fields, Coefficient saves these mappings as reusable templates. This makes future bulk creation operations with the same custom object structure effortless. Templates preserve all custom field mappings, validation rules, and relationship configurations for consistent operations.

Handle any Salesforce customization

Comprehensive custom field support makes Coefficient ideal for organizations with heavily customized Salesforce orgs who need reliable bulk data creation capabilities. Try Coefficient for complete custom field management.
