When using the GlobalValueSet: Invalid color format '' in Color (FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION).

[CedricWillems]

Class Example:

public static void updateGlobalValueSet(String globalValueSetName, List<MetadataService.CustomValue> customValues) {
        MetadataService.MetadataPort service = createService();

        // Read Custom Field
        MetadataService.GlobalValueSet globalValueSet =
                (MetadataService.GlobalValueSet) service.readMetadata('GlobalValueSet',
                        new String[]{
                                globalValueSetName
                        }).getRecords()[0];

        // Add pick list values
        for (MetadataService.CustomValue customValue : customValues) {
            globalValueSet.customValue.add(customValue);
        }

        for (MetadataService.CustomValue customValue : globalValueSet.customValue) {
            if (customValue.default_x == null)
                customValue.default_x = false;
            if (customValue.isActive == null)
                customValue.isActive = true;
            System.debug('customValue: ' + customValue);
        }

        // Update Custom Field
        handleSaveResults(
                service.updateMetadata(
                        new MetadataService.Metadata[]{
                                globalValueSet
                        })[0]);
    }

Anonymous Apex:

MetadataService.CustomValue customValue = MetadataServiceExamples.customValue('Test', false, null, null, true);
List<MetadataService.CustomValue> customValues = new List<MetadataService.CustomValue>();
customValues.add(customValue);

MetadataServiceExamples.updateGlobalValueSet('Recruitment_Label_Types', customValues);

'default' and 'isActive' are 'null', so these are giving an error aswell.

Can you run this via Developer Console exec anonymous and post the XML shown in the debug log? This also helps narrow the issue down to a Metadata API issue or an issue with this lib.

I came across the exact same error when I tried to use the updateMetadata call to add a picklist value to an existing field. It seems like it's due to the following line in MetadataService.cls : https://github.com/financialforcedev/apex-mdapi/blob/08656f19002124d841e797fbd37d5a7ee8aa5678/apex-mdapi/src/classes/MetadataService.cls#L1411 The 'color' attribute of CustomValue is not described as optional while the Metadata WDSL describes it as such :

<xsd:complexType name="CustomValue">
    <xsd:complexContent>
        <xsd:extension base="tns:Metadata">
            <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="color" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
                <xsd:element name="default" type="xsd:boolean"/>
                <xsd:element name="description" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
                <xsd:element name="isActive" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:boolean"/>
                <xsd:element name="label" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
            </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:extension>
    </xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>

The following adjustment resolved the issue :

private String[] color_type_info = new String[]{'color','http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata',null,'0','1','false'};

Yes this looks like a bug in the Salesforce WSDL is the root cause.

Hi,

I am executing below code in Dev Console.Code is executing without any error, but Global picklist is not getting created.

any suggestion? `MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort(); service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element(); service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();

String valueSetName = 'test123';

MetadataService.GlobalValueSet globalValueSet = new MetadataService.GlobalValueSet();

MetadataService.CustomValue newItem = new MetadataService.CustomValue(); newItem.fullName = 'value'; newItem.label = 'label'; newItem.isActive = true; newItem.default_x = true;

if(globalValueSet.customValue ==null){ globalValueSet.customValue = new List(); }

globalValueSet.customValue.add(newItem);

globalValueSet.masterLabel='test123'; globalValueSet.sorted=false; globalValueSet.description='sd'; service.createMetadata( new MetadataService.Metadata[]{ globalValueSet }); `

and

errors =null and success =false from saveResult
