I am trying to deploy picklist value My Picklist Value from Dev org to QA environment but getting error in Jenkins validation:
My Picklist Value is new value. In my PR the field is there and the field My_Field__c
also have the new value.
Does anyone have any idea?
#Custom Picklist #Record Types
Hi Varun,
Found it — you actually broke it by "fixing" it. This is a documented quirk of the Metadata API: RecordType picklistValues entries require certain special characters to be percent-encoded (like %2F for "/"), while the CustomField's own valueSet uses the literal character. These aren't meant to match visually character-for-character — Salesforce's RecordType XML format expects the encoded form.
So when you retrieved it as %2F and then manually replaced it with a literal "/", you introduced the actual mismatch. The original %2F was correct.
Fix: Revert the RecordType XML back to %2F (the encoded form) for that picklist value, while keeping the CustomField's valueSet with the literal "/" — don't try to make them textually identical, since Salesforce handles the encoding difference between these two metadata types internally.
Reference:
https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p300000008YzPAAURedeploy with %2F restored in the RecordType file and that should clear the validation error.
