Creating a MultiPicklist

[juanfilgueira]

Hi Andrew, how are you?

I'm really new working with Metadata Api (it's awsome!) but i'm having an issue when trying to create a MultiPicklist or MultiselectPicklist field. I'm getting:

'MultiPicklist' is not a valid value for the enum 'FieldType.

Is there a way to do it and i'm missing something? Or is that something we can't do?

Thanks for all your work!

Values for the customField.type_x assignment are of type FieldType as per the Metadata API doc

• You have MultiPicklist
• Doc states MultiselectPicklist

values are case sensitive. Be sure you have also specified a valueset.

Note - I've found that the easiest way to debug these issues is to create in an org using the UX the metadata type with desired nature and then use the library to retrieve that metadata type and explore the apex structure using your IDE.

Did anyone figure this one out yet? For some strange reason it still not being updated.
