Opportunity Stages

Hello,

Is it possible to retrieve the associated Type, Probability, Forecast Category & Modified By fields for Opportunity Stage PickList Values.

I am currently able to retrieve the available PickListEntries for the StageName field, but would like to get the associated Type, Probability & Forecast Category fields as well.

Developing in Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2002 (VB) using Enterprise 2.5 API.

Thanks
Roy

Hi Roy,

The probability field is a double so there is not picklist for it.  You can obtain the other picklist values by using a describeSObject call on the Opportunity object.

Hi Dave,

In Setup - Customize SalesForce.com - Opportunities - Fields - Stage - Edit - there is a grid of pre-defined picklist Stage Names with corresponding Type, Probability & Forecast Category and the ability to add additional picklist entries.

Is it possible to retrive this grid of data via Enterprise or Partner API?  If so, how?

Thanks
Roy

Hi Roy,

The fields you are referring to are not available in the current version of the API.  They are available is the 2.0 version of the describe call and the XML-RPC describe call.  These fields will be available in our upcoming release, which is in the April timeframe.
