Fields Metadata Usage​

In the Fields tab, click on the Metadata Usage tab in the right-side panel to view the selected fields Metadata Usage. Keep in mind that feature uses Metadata Dependency API which is still in Beta.

caution

Metadata Usage feature comes with quite a few limitations and gotchas. Please keep these in mind when you consume this information.

  • Metadata Usage feature works only for Custom Fields due to limitation of Metadata Dependency API.
  • It doesn't capture if the field is not statically referenced. For ex, if you used a field in dynamic SOQL, or read the data from that Object using Sobject.get(fieldname) method, those usages will not shown.
  • If the field is used in an external system only then that usage will not be captured.
