For custom record types, fields on the body and subtabs (Numbering, Permissions, Links, and Managers) can be set on add or update of a new Custom Record Type. Fields on the Fields, Forms, Online Forms, Child Records, and Parent Records subtabs can only be set on update to an existing custom record.
For information about working with custom records types in the UI, see Creating Custom Record Types.
The custom record type record is defined in the setupCustom (customization) XSD.
