How to load recordTypes using dataLoader based on their names and Not their Ids?
I am trying to load some (FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c) data using dataLaoder.
This data should be imported to many environments (sandboxes and scratch orgs).
Given that the RecordType ID is not the same in the various sandboxes and sratch orgs, i want to use the RecordType name instead of the ID as it's consistent across all environments.
Here is an example of a record that i am trying to import:
FinServ__CreateInverseRole__c, Name, FinServ__InverseRole__c, RecordType.Name
"FALSE", "TEST", "INVERSE TEST", "Contact Role"
No data was imported and i a got this error message:
RecordType ID: id value of incorrect type: Contact Role
Note: I've already checked the accessibility of the record types in my profile.
Did any one encounter this kind of issue by any chance ? thanks for your help.

For one-time imports from a CLI to use in multiple orgs (including scratch orgs), you should be using sfdx. This allows you to write a shell script/batch file that allows you to make a portable upload:
sfdx force:data:bulk:upsert -s FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c -f file/to/import.csv -i Id -w 10
Using the Bulk API allows you to specify references, as outlined in Relationship Fields in a Header Row.
The Data Loader is not purpose-built for migrating data between orgs (thus manual mapping in Excel/external apps is often required), so it lacks many of the features that are found in SFDX and newer tools.
Yep, this works. Didn't think it this way. But I will still think as long as its a data load activity, and that you need to utilize say data loader, still stick withRecordTypeId
to reduce any complexity.

I keep getting this error message "DUPLICATE_EXTERNAL_ID:Name: more than one record found for external id field" when i try to execute the command line above. i have no data in my scratch so, it's kind of strange to have this error. I noticed though that when get rid of "RecordType.Name" column , it works and this errors disappears. SO, if this worked for you ,i must have missed something

@MerabtiIbrahim Name needs to be unique. For example, if you have two record types named "Household" on two separate objects, this could cause this error. You'll need to have unique record type names for this to work.

Feb 13 at 14:17
@sfdcfox,so you want to say that there is another record type with the same name on another object ?

I know one way you can use. You have to use a custom field and a trigger.
- Create a text field on
FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c
named asRecordTypeTemp__c
Write a before insert trigger on
FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c
to mapRecordTypeTemp__c
into RecordType Id
Trigger ReciprocalRoleTrigger on FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c (before insert){
Map<String , Schema.RecordTypeInfo> reciprocalNameRecordTypeMap = FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c.SObjectType.getDescribe().recordTypeInfosByDeveloperName;
for(FinServ__ReciprocalRole__c ind : Trigger.new){
ind.RecordTypeId = reciprocalNameRecordTypeMap.get(ind.RecordTypeTemp__c).recordTypeId;
}
}
Now when you load data, dont populate recordTypeId field just populate RecordTypeTemp__c
with the developer name to make a consistent behaviour in dataload accross all orgs

This will definitely work, but personally I wouldn't recommend building any customization to address a data loading activity.
