      How to find that a field is not supported in Salesforce Metadata API?

      Posted by Nitish on April 30, 2016 at 4:55 PM

      I have the Order Status field in the Order. Object file defined simply as follows:

      <fields>
      <fullName>Status</fullName>
      <picklist>
      <picklistValues>
      <fullName>Draft</fullName>
      <default>false</default>
      </picklistValues>
      <picklistValues>
      <fullName>Activated</fullName>
      <default>false</default>
      </picklistValues>
      </picklist>
      <trackHistory>true</trackHistory>
      <type>Picklist</type>
      </fields>

      I get the error:

      Order.object: This standard picklist field not supported in metadata API
