Record Types:
Permission Set:
Setup 1:
Profile:
Output:
Execute the below code in Anonymous Window.
insert new Contact( LastName = ‘Testing’ );
Record Type is Master since the Default as per profile is Master record type.
Setup 2:
Profile:
Output:
Execute the below code in Anonymous Window.
insert new Contact( LastName = ‘Testing’ );
They should have provide capability to set default record types from permission set. We cant just create new profiles only for assigning the record types.
