External Contacts:

  • firstName
  • middleName
  • lastName
  • salutation
  • title
  • externalSystemUrl

Change Context

Enforcing field validation rules and consistent behaviour at the platform level, protects stability and allows us to develop new features (like the upcoming enhanced CSV import) and support a larger number of contacts.
Change Impact

Creating contacts and organizations with field values exceeding field limits will be rejected with a 422 error.
