- Custom objects can be deleted from the organization by an administrator if dependencies are cleared, whereas standard objects cannot be deleted.Answer
- Custom objects automatically append the '__c' suffix to their API name upon creation, whereas standard objects do not include a custom suffix.Answer
- CRoll-up summary fields can be created on a custom object to aggregate child data linked via any standard lookup relationship.
- DRecord types automatically assign picklist values to custom objects without requiring manual picklist configuration per record type.
Answer
Custom objects can be deleted by an administrator if dependency requirements are met while standard objects cannot be deleted, and custom object API names automatically append the '__c' suffix.
Custom objects differ from standard objects in lifecycle management and API naming conventions. Administrators have permission to delete custom objects if all references (such as Apex code or fields) are removed, whereas standard objects cannot be deleted. In addition, Salesforce automatically appends the '__c' suffix to custom object API names upon creation to designate custom schema elements.
