Export Objects Field Definition
Hi,
Is there a way to export the objects' field definition (name, label, type, length etc...) to xls?
Thanks,
Terry

These metadata files are in the XML format.
You can then open these files in excel and you will have all of the metadata files in an excel format.
Hope this helps.

Are you referring to the object files (objectName.object) in the src\objects folder from IDE export? Maybe I missed a step or two or did it incorrectly. I open the Account.object file, I got a warning "file format different than file extension". Continuing with opening the file, pick "As an XML table" from the 3 options. There are total of 119 lines, I assume column D "ns1:fullName" is the column name and only see a handful of fields (AccountSource, CreatedById, Industry, lastModifiedById, OnwerId, Ownership, ParentId, Rating, and Type).
I have a good feeling that I am doing something wrong. Theoritically, it should not be that diffcult.
Thanks,

The excel file is just a different way of presenting the same xml information (in columns and rows format).
Can you please check the xml file if you see all the fields.

We should then check why the fields are not coming up in the metadata file.
What fields do you think are missing? Can you check in Salesforce if you have access to them? Are you using a System Administrator login to download the metadata files?
