Picklist fields (and maybe others?) cause issue when deploying Metadata records #4

Closed adwhite75 closed 3 years ago

adwhite75 commented 3 years ago

When creating a CMT record with a pickvlist value (one passed from a Flow screen component) the deployment fails:

FLOWCUSTOMMETADATACREATOR (APEX): Add_CMT_record Inputs: customMetadataTypeName = Finance_Mappings__mdt developerName = Mapping1 masterLabel = Mapping1 Outputs: Finance_Mappings__mdt (No ID)

@adwhite75 thanks for reporting this. It looks like this is just an issue with picklist fields on custom metadata types - I created a CMDT record that had 1 field for each possible type (text, number, picklist, etc.), and only the picklist field seems to cause this issue.

I'll merge a fix for this later today - let me know if you run into any other issues!
