How to Add Multiple Fields to Multiple Custom Report Types in Salesforce?

Salesforce reporting becomes more powerful when your Custom Report Types contain the right fields. But as your org grows, maintaining Report Types manually can turn into a repetitive and frustrating admin task.

Imagine needing to add the same custom field across 20, 50, or even 100+ Report Types.

With Salesforce standard functionality, admins must:

• Open each Report Type individually
• Search for the required field
• Add fields manually one by one
• Repeat the same process again and again

Not only is this time-consuming, but it also increases the risk of missing updates or creating inconsistencies across reports.

Unfortunately, Salesforce does not provide native bulk operations for Report Type field management.

That’s where the BOFC (Bulk Object Field Creator)
