Use when choosing between Custom Metadata Types and Custom Settings, understanding hierarchical vs list settings, deployment behavior, governor limit implications, or accessing either from Apex and Flow. Trigger keywords: 'custom metadata vs custom settings', 'hierarchical settings per user profile', 'deployable config vs runtime settings', 'getValues getInstance in apex', 'flow get records custom settings'. NOT for modelling the CMT itself or protecting packaged defaults — use…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Use this skill when a requirement involves choosing between Custom Metadata Types and Custom Settings, understanding how hierarchical settings resolve per user or profile, whether the data can be deployed, or how to access configuration from Apex and Flow without hitting governor limits. The key decision driver is whether the configuration must travel with releases or must override at runtime per user. --- ## Before Starting Gather this context before recommending a storage model: - Does the value need to vary by User, Profile, or just have a single org-wide value? - Does the value need to travel through source control, change sets, scratch orgs, or managed packages — or is it fine to set manually in each org? - How frequently will the value change, and who controls the change: a developer cutting a release, an admin in Setup, or an end-user editing their own preference? - Will Apex or Flow read this — and how many times per transaction? --- ## Questions to Ask Before Configuring …

How to install
mdr add pranavnagrecha/awesomesalesforceskills/custom-metadata-types-and-settings@sha256:9944a637300eb45cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
