Bulk Field Creator - MetaHelper

Creates fields well but does not set field security

This app is useful, but has an important bug. I created 25 fields in Opportunity from a csv. The fields were created with no problems. It pointed out a few duplicates correctly. The UI is clean and intuitive. There are options to set picklist choices, field descriptions, field lengths, and profile-level field security. Everything worked well, except field-level security. The problem was that I specified the profile-level field permissions, but these permissions were not carried over to the org. I had to go into each each created field in the org and set field-level security manually.

Great - But always room to improve

Great! Help Text and Description need to be added manually

Good but improvements would help

The global picklist does not show any options from my org. Stuck there. The options like text length and description have to be added one by one, not by csv.

Simple to Use

This is exactly what I needed! I needed to create a lot of similar custom fields on one custom object in a sandbox. This app allowed me to do just that.

Simple, Quick, Efficient

Thank you for such an efficient and useful tool

Just missing a couple of tiny tweaks

This app is a life saver. I have to add nearly 200 custom fields and this saved me hours. It would be 5 star if i could set the field lenght in the CSV file as it defaults to the max which means you can run out of fields after only 15 or so if using long text.

Great tool. Currently has a Multi Select Picklist Challenge

Overall I am giving this 5 stars. It's not perfect. But its a free tool and gets 90%+ of what I need and saves me hours! Currently there appears to be a bug with the Picklist - Multi Select field type. It keeps erroring when trying to import this field type. If you remove this field type from the import everything seems to work smoothly. But if you include this type the whole import fails. So, I can import 95% or so of my fields and there is 1 type that I have to create the "Old Fashioned Way". Still saves me time and energy. Thank you!

Doesn't work well with DevOps Center

While it seems to create fields in bulk very well, the created fields do not get picked up automatically by the Salesforce DevOps Center. I had to add the fields and profiles manually to the Work Items, as they had not registered as changes.

Easily created over 40 fields and saved me 1-2 hours

Really straightforward instructions and worked super well for simple field types.

Would be useable if FLS was set on the created field

This could be a good app except the FLS that you select in setup does not update on the created field. Supposedly there is an asynchronous process according to Nishank "There is an asynchronous process which provides visibility of the created fields. So, it will take a minute or two." Well I waited and waited and I'm sorry but it doesn't update, so until you can fix this issue, it's useless. Shame.
