Can I add ExternalId, a custom field, to any Standard Object ? Is there a limit ?

Hi,

1) I vaguely understand from the docs that it is possible to add ExternalId to majority of Standard objects. But still I would like to confirm.

2) https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=adding_fields.htm&type=0 suggests that only 800 Custom fields (My externalId field on an object will be budgeted against this limit I believe) can exist in an Org. These can be consumed by Custom Apps already installed in the Org as they create a lot of custom objects. Can someone confirm if there is truly such a limitation ?

Thanks,

Suhel

    Thanks Swetha for your response and for the link on limit on custom fileds. It looks like the limit is per object.

    I think I still need some more clarity on my first question. Can I possibly create one externalId field per object considering none of the objects have their custom field / other limits exhausted ? Is there any Object in Salesforce (Standard/Custom) that will not allow me to create an externalId field using API ?

    Thanks,

    Suhel
