Retrieving invalid tabs

[jonny-harte]

Hi, when I do a profile retrieve from a refreshed sandbox the below list of tabs get added. However, when I try to deploy the profile back to the same sandbox (or other sandboxes) they error saying they're invalid tabs?

Hi @jonny-harte, unfortunately this is what the CRUD-Based Metadata API returns.

This simple sfdx plugin is only making the API available as a command. It does not attempt to fix/workaround the issues of the API.

I faced the same issue when trying to modify a Profile programmatically. Here I excluded all tabSettings as a hack because I wasn't interested in them (similar to this thread) But I know this is not a real solution. If you have some time, it would be best to report this to Salesforce directly.
