<html> <body> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">When creating a <strong>custom Data Model object</strong>, the automatically generated relations "Note Targets" and "Task Targets" have two issues:</p> <ol class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Icons cannot be changed</strong> — Unlike the standard/default Data Models (e.g., People, Companies, Opportunities) where Note and Task relations use consistent icons, the auto-generated "Note Targets" and "Task Targets" on custom objects display a generic/different icon that cannot be modified through the UI.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Naming is inconsistent</strong> — Standard/default Data Models show relations like "Notes" and "Tasks" in their relation list.

Auto-generated Note/Task target relations on custom objects incorrectly lock icons and use inconsistent naming compared to standard objects.
