platform-value-set-generate

authentic

Use to create, generate, or validate a Salesforce GlobalValueSet (reusable picklist shared across fields) or customize a StandardValueSet (built-in picklists like Industry, Lead Source, Opportunity Stage). Trigger on global/standard value set, reusable picklist, .globalValueSet-meta.xml or .standardValueSet-meta.xml, or deploy errors adding values to a standard picklist. DO NOT TRIGGER for a one-off inline picklist on a single field with no reuse — use platform-custom-field-generate.

When to use

• creating a GlobalValueSet
• customizing a StandardValueSet
• referencing a value set from a field
• validating value-set metadata XML
• handling deployment errors adding values to a standard picklist
• generating .globalValueSet-meta.xml
• generating .standardValueSet-meta.xml

When not to use

• one-off inline picklist on a single field with no reuse
• generating the field that references a value set
