Hi all, let’s say I have loaded a record. How can I fetch `field type` of custom fields, for example `datetime` , so I can format the data accordingly?

```var opp = record.load({ type: 'opportunity', id: 123456 });
var field = opp.getField({ fieldId: 'createddate' });
// field.type = 'datetime'```

Awesome, it works with `record.create` too.
Thank you!

Hey <@UHF2QGCUX>, `record.getField` doesn’t provide the `List/Record` (id: `selectedrecordtype`), is there a way to get that for any field?

Yeah, other than returning `select` as the type, there doesn't seem to be much more information you can get from it.

Ya, thanks for checking though.
I will post on the channel to see if anyone has any workaround for it.
