FeatureParameterDate

FeatureParameterDate components have the suffix .featureParameterDate. The components are stored in the featureParameters folder, which contains components for all the feature parameter metadata types.

Version

FeatureParameterDate components are available in API version 41.0 and later.

Special Access Rules

Declarative Metadata Sample Definition

The following is an example of a FeatureParameterDate component.

1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2<FeatureParameterDate xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
3    <dataflowDirection>SubscriberToLmo</dataflowDirection>
4    <masterLabel>Activation Date</masterLabel>
5    <value>2017-10-23</value>
6</FeatureParameterDate>

The following is an example package.xml that references the previous definition (and the definitions for the other feature parameter types).

1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
