The UI displays the external record types you defined in external domain metadata and allows you to map them to DevRev objects.

#### Mapping as custom object
119+
The system allows importing record types and categories as custom objects. To achieve this you have to select `new_custom_object` when mapping the record type. For each external record type mapped as a custom object, a new custom **Leaf type** will be defined in DevRev and a **Subtype** will automatically be created. For more details on customization concepts, please refer to the

[Customization](../customization.mdx) and [Custom Objects](../custom-objects.mdx) documentation.

The field mapping works the same as for the stock DevRev types, with the difference being that there are significantly fewer fields to map. All the unmapped fields of the external record type will be created as custom fields.

- The external *type* field is declared as the `link_type_field`.

- The `link_direction_names` provide a mapping of each value in the `link_type_field` to their directional names. `forward_name` and `backward_name` can be the same, but both are required.

- The human-readable name of the link type is taken from the enum values defined on the `link_type_field`. The linkable object types in DevRev will be defined based on the mappings of the *source_id* and *target_id* [fields](./supported-object-types.mdx#custom_link#).
