Sharing of custom settings (organization default)

Is there a way to share custom settings (organization defaults) across multiple organizations/subscribers?

I want to develop a managed package which defines some default settings as organization default. The subscriber should be able to access these setting values and/or modify them or at least set other hierarchical settings for profile or user which overrides the organization defaults.

 

Regards,

Manu

Hello Manu,

 

You can’t share a custom setting object or record. You can deploy custom settings to another Org as you deploy other metadata components.

Thank you Vinita for your answer.

 

Is there another way to provide settings or variables with a default value which can be accessed and modified by a subscriber?

Hello,

 

I did not find any means of providing default value. You can share but access custom settings data, please refer following links:
