⚙️ Configuration Options

`Deployable Metadata Types`

Choose which metadata types should be auto-deployed before opening. Each type is opt-in. You control exactly which ones to deploy.

`Use Sf Command To Open Metadata`

Default: true

Enable global support for the sf org open --source-file CLI. If disabled, the extension always uses an org-based ID URL resolution.

`Metadata Types That Use CLI`

Default: ["Flow", "FlexiPage"]

Select which metadata types are allowed to use sf org open --source-file.
Others will fallback to org-based ID resolution and open via constructed URL.

`Enable Caching`

Default: true

Caches resolved metadata IDs in memory. This avoids repeating queries for the same metadata.

💾 Metadata Cache Tools

From the Command Palette:

SFDX: Display Cached Record Metadata
SFDX: Clear Cached Record Metadata

Authorized default org (sf org display)
