Can I use Data Loader to create a (cvs) file with field name, description, type, etc of fields on the opportunity object?

 

The Data Loader app has a strong focus on actual data and when I tried to create a file that exports the field name and description of the fields on the opportunity object, I was unable to do so.

 

Instead, I received most of the time data of actual opportunities, but not the field descriptions.

 

- Can I use Data Loader to get field information (description, name, type etc.) of fields on the Opportunity object?

 

- If not, what is the easiest way to do it instead?

 

Thanks in advance!

    You can't pull metadata like help text or field description using Data Loader. You'd have to use an IDE tool like Eclipse or something.
