Demand Tools and Custom Metadata

Hi there -

I take it there's no way to use DemandTools (currently on v 2.91) to export, import, or update records. We're defining a new Custom Metadata Type that will have about 500 rows. I don't want to create those by hand. Looks like I might have to use an ANT based tool or similar.

Any chance this is on the product roadmap?

Hi @Steve_Marcy, with DemandTools 2.91 & DemandTools V, users can only export Custom Metadata Type records but cannot insert or update new/existing Customer Metadata Type records. This is not currently planned to be added to the DemandTools V platform, however I would highly suggest submitting this as a feature request by following the steps located here.
