Hi,
I have some static field values created as custom metadata. Now i want to change the generic values, but not able to locate where its been maintained.
I went to setting > Custom metadata type> manage records.
Although i can see the field value name, i can't locate where the values are maintained , which need to be updated. Any suggestions ? #Sales Cloud
Yes. The answer is:
In Salesforce, Custom Metadata records are maintained under:
Setup → Custom Metadata Types → [Your Custom Metadata Type] → Manage Records
There are two different things:
- Custom Metadata Type → Defines the structure/fields.
- Custom Metadata Record → Stores the actual values.
If you can see the field name but not the actual value, click Edit on the specific metadata record. The values should be displayed there.
For example:
Custom Metadata Type: Application Settings
→ Manage Records
→ Default Settings
→ Edit
→ Update the field values.
If the value is still not visible or editable, it may be coming from another source, such as:
- A Custom Label
- Custom Setting
- Custom Metadata referenced by Apex/Flow
- A Formula
- A Named Credential
- A value hard-coded in Apex/LWC
You can also check the Apex/Flow code that references the metadata to identify exactly where the value is being used.
