do custom record type have API name

Best Answer chosen by Admin (Salesforce Developers)

No. Record Type does not have any API name.

Infact Record Type is an object in salesforce which has some fields in it (those fields have API name).

The custom record type you create is a record in this object and contains value but it does not have any API name.

Just to give an example with comparison: You create a record in account object is same as you create custom record type in record type object.

I know this is over 3 years old, but this doesn't make sense. Even Objects have an API Name. Salesforce is so inconsistent, it can be very frustrating.
