Carledriss Metadata API, Delete custom fields
Hi,
I am using Metada API to delete custom fields.
I can delete custom field of an Object, but the custom field is put in the 'Deleted Fields' with the following API name customfield_del__c
Is it possible to erase the custom field of the 'Deleted Fields' list? I need to delete them of that list as well
I am using the following code
public static void deleteCustomField(String fullname) throws Exception
{
CustomField customField = new CustomField();
customField.setFullName(fullname);
UpdateMetadata updateMetadata = new UpdateMetadata();
updateMetadata.setMetadata(customField);
updateMetadata.setCurrentName(fullname);
AsyncResult[] asyncResults = metadataConnection.delete(new Metadata[] {customField});
long waitTimeMilliSecs = ONE_SECOND;
do
{
printAsyncResultStatus(asyncResults);
waitTimeMilliSecs *= 2;
Thread.sleep(waitTimeMilliSecs);
asyncResults = metadataConnection.checkStatus(new String[]{asyncResults[0].getId()});
} while (!asyncResults[0].isDone());
printAsyncResultStatus(asyncResults);
}
I'm also looking to erase the fields from deleted list.
