Quick DocType Discovery Commands

Find DocTypes by keyword

# In bench console
frappe.get_all("DocType",
    filters={"name": ["like", "%Invoice%"]},
    fields=["name", "module", "issingle"],
    limit_page_length=0
)

Find custom app DocTypes

frappe.get_all("DocType",
    filters={"module": "My Custom Module"},
    fields=["name", "issingle", "istable"],
    limit_page_length=0
)

Check DocType metadata

meta = frappe.get_meta("Sales Invoice")
print(f"Fields: {len(meta.fields)}")
print(f"Is Submittable: {meta.is_submittable}")
print(f"Is Child Table: {meta.istable}")
for df in meta.fields:
    print(f"  {df.fieldname} ({df.fieldtype})" + (" *" if df.reqd else ""))

Find child tables of a DocType

meta = frappe.get_meta("Sales Invoice")
for df in meta.fields:
    if df.fieldtype == "Table":
        print(f"  {df.fieldname} → {df.options}")
