Components Available in Second-Generation Managed Packages

Each metadata component that you include in a second-generation managed package has certain rules that determine its behavior in a subscriber org. Manageability rules determine whether you, or the subscriber, can edit or remove components after the package version is created and installed.

Before you review the details about the metadata components that can be included in a managed package, be sure you understand the meaning of each manageability rule.

RuleDescription
Component Can Be Updated During Package UpgradeIf yes: The component can be updated during a package upgrade. The component is first deployed to the subscriber org during the initial package installation, and subsequent package upgrades update the installed component. If no: The component can’t be updated during package upgrades. Instead, it’s only deployed to the subscriber org during the initial package installation, and subsequent package upgrades don’t update the component. Components in this category can typically be modified by the admin in the subscriber org.
Subscriber Can Delete ComponentIf yes: The subscriber or installer of the managed package can delete the packaged component from their org. Deleted components aren’t reinstalled during a package upgrade. If no: The subscriber or installer of the managed package can’t delete the packaged component from their org.
Package Developer Can Remove ComponentIf yes: After the package that contains the component is promoted and released, the package developer can choose to remove the component in a future package version. In most cases, removing components from a package version marks the component as deprecated, and doesn’t hard delete the component from the subscriber org. These deprecated components can be deleted by the admin of the subscriber org. For details about which managed 2GP components are deprecated, see Remove Metadata Components from Second-Generation Managed Packages. To request access to this feature, log a support case in the Salesforce Partner Community. If no: After the package that contains the component is promoted and released, the package developer can’t remove the component in a future package version.
Component Has IP ProtectionIf yes: To protect the intellectual property of the developer, the component’s metadata, such as Apex code or Custom Metadata record information, is hidden in the installed org. If no: The component is visible in the subscriber’s org.

Each component also lists which properties the package developer and subscriber can edit after the package is promoted or installed. For definitions of those categories, see Editable Properties After Package Promotion or Installation.

Considerations When Packaging

  • Any Apex that is included as part of a package must have at least 75% cumulative test coverage. Each trigger must also have some test coverage. When you upload your package to AgentExchange, all tests are run to ensure that they run without errors. In addition, all tests are run when the package is installed in the installer’s org. If any test fails, the installer can decide whether to install the package.

  • Managed packages receive a unique namespace. This namespace is prepended to your class names, methods, variables, and so on, which helps prevent duplicate names in the installer’s org.

  • In a single transaction, you can only reference 10 unique namespaces. For example, suppose that you have an object that executes a class in a managed package when the object is updated. Then that class updates a second object, which in turn executes a different class in a different package. Even though the first package didn’t access the second package directly, the access occurs in the same transaction. It’s therefore included in the number of namespaces accessed in a single transaction.

  • If you’re exposing any methods as Web services, include detailed documentation so that subscribers can write external code that calls your Web service.

  • If an Apex class references a custom label and that label has translations, explicitly package the individual languages desired to include those translations in the package.

  • If you reference a custom object’s sharing object (such as MyCustomObject__share) in Apex, you add a sharing model dependency to your package. Set the default org-wide access level for the custom object to Private so other orgs can install your package successfully.

  • The code contained in an Apex class, trigger, or Visualforce component that’s part of a managed package is obfuscated and can’t be viewed in an installing org. The only exceptions are methods declared as global. You can view global method signatures in an installing org. In addition, License Management Org users with the View and Debug Managed Apex permission can view their packages’ obfuscated Apex classes when logged in to subscriber orgs via the Subscriber Support Console.

  • You can use the deprecated annotation in Apex to identify global methods, classes, exceptions, enums, interfaces, and variables that can’t be referenced in later releases of a managed package. So you can refactor code in managed packages as the requirements evolve. After you create another package version as Managed - Released, new subscribers that install the latest package version can’t see the deprecated elements, while the elements continue to function for existing subscribers and API integrations.

  • Apex code that refers to Data Categories can’t be uploaded.

  • Before deleting Visualforce pages or global Visualforce components from your package, remove all references to public Apex classes and public Visualforce components. After removing the references, upgrade your subscribers to an interim package version before you delete the page or global component.

) to impose restrictions on content. The main objective of CSP is to help prevent cross-site scripting (

XSS) and other code injection attacks. If your package includes sites or pages that load content from an external (non-Salesforce) server or via a WebSocket connection, add the external server as a CSP trusted site. Each CSP trusted site can apply to Experience Cloud sites, Lightning Experience pages, custom Visualforce pages, or all three.

If your package includes sites or pages that load content from an external (non-Salesforce) server or via a WebSocket connection, add the external server as a CSP trusted site. Each CSP trusted site can apply to Experience Cloud sites, Lightning Experience pages, custom Visualforce pages, or all three.

Considerations When Packaging

When you include the CspTrustedSite component in a package, the permissions for the third-party APIs and Websocket connections apply to sites and pages across the org. Because this component modifies security, we don’t recommend including CspTrustedSite components in packages. Instead, we recommend that you instruct customers to use the CSP Trusted Sites Setup page or the CSPTrustedSites metadata API type to add the URLs to their allowlist as part of activating your package. If you choose to include CspTrustedSite components in your package, disclose this change prominently in your package documentation to ensure that your customers are aware of the security modification.

You can’t load JavaScript resources from a third-party site, even if it’s a CSP Trusted Site. To use a JavaScript library from a third-party site, add it to a static resource, and then add the static resource to your component. After the library is loaded from the static resource, you can use it as normal.

CSP isn’t enforced by all browsers. For a list of browsers that enforce CSP, see

caniuse.com.

Usage Limits

CspTrustedSite components are available in API version 39.0 and later. Multiple properties and enumeration values are available in later API versions. For details, see CspTrustedSite in the

Metadata API Developer Guide.

  3. Install the new version of the base package in the release org of the extension package to access the history tracking info.

As a best practice, don’t enable history tracking for custom objects contained in the base package directly in the extension package’s release org. Doing so can result in an error when you install the package and when you create patch orgs for the extension package.

Feature Name: Metadata Name: DataCleanRoomProvider; Component Type in 2GP Package Manager UI: Data Kit Package Definition

Use Case

Clean room providers (Partners and ISVs) include DataCleanRoomProvider in a DataKit which can be added to a managed package to offer clean room collaboration templates to consumers via AgentExchange. Consumers install the package to initiate a collaboration with the provider using pre-defined use case templates.

Considerations When Packaging

  • Providers need a Data Cloud Developer edition org to create and publish a clean room package.
  • The package name must be unique. The UI may not display a clear error for duplicate package names. If you encounter an issue, check your browser’s Network tab for the specific conflict error.
  • The provider logo URL must be a publicly accessible URL in an appropriate image format (such as .png). If the URL is not accessible externally, the UI falls back to a standard icon on the Collaboration Summary screen for consumers.
  • Data 360 clean rooms don’t support cross-geo collaboration (for example, AMER to APAC or EMEA is not supported). Cross-region collaboration within the same geo is supported.
  • This feature is not available in Government Cloud.

License Requirements

Clean room providers need a Data Cloud license and a Developer edition to create the package. Clean room consumers require a Data Cloud license to install and deploy the package.

Post Install Steps

After installing a package that contains DataCleanRoomProvider, the consumer must manually deploy the data kit components in Data Cloud Setup. See

Deploy a Clean Room from an AgentExchange Package.

.

Relationship to Other Components

To include DataCleanRoomProvider in a managed package, you must add the component to a data kit (DataPackageKitDefinition). Then, add the DataPackageKitDefinition to the managed package. DataCleanRoomProvider requires Data Cloud to Data Cloud (DC to DC) sharing. Providers and consumers using Data 360 must have DC to DC sharing configured.

Neither Package Developer or Subscriber Can EditdeveloperName (once promoted), namespace-prefixed identifiers

Feature Name: Metadata Name: IntegArtifactDef; Component Type in 1GP Package Manager UI: MktDataConnection is the Connector parent type

Use Case

ISV partners can build, package, and distribute custom Data 360 connectors, which extend existing native Data 360 Connector Framework (DCF) connectors via AgentExchange. Partners configure the connector metadata, icon, and localization, then package it as a data kit in a 2GP or 1GP managed package. Customers see the connector in the Data 360 new stream page with a “partner built” indicator.

Considerations When Packaging

  • No automatic spidering in 2GP; ISVs must manually include all related components.
  • One version per connector name per package. Minor or patch versions are upgrades in-place.
  • Major version changes require a new connector name (e.g., AsanaV2).
  • Connection credentials are excluded (subscriber must supply post-install).
  • PACKAGING_DISABLED capability exists. isGlobal=true must be set.

License Requirements: Data 360 must be provisioned in the subscriber org.

Usage Limits: The number of connections per connector type can be up to 200.

Post Install Steps

Connection will be INACTIVE post-install. To activate, the subscriber admin must supply the credentials or authenticate, and then manually activate the connection.

Relationship to Other Components

Not a requirement but DataConnector should be used with data stream and activation components. A connector package is typically bundled inside a data kit. If packaging with a flow or data stream, all dependent metadata (for example, the connection or Named Credentials) must be explicitly included.

Use Case

Share or distribute the content of an enhanced workspace in Salesforce CMS, including images, documents, and news articles. In Marketing Cloud, you can package the content of general and marketing workspaces, including landing pages, forms, and emails (and their associated images and branding).

Considerations When Packaging

Enhanced LWR sites are unsupported.

In marketing workspaces, the default data graph, personalization recommenders, personalization points, and decisions aren’t included in the bundle. If the workspace includes emails with personalized content that’s based on these objects, then:

  • Any merge field or repeater that uses the default data graph or a personalization recommender from the source org is broken in the target org.
  • Any dynamic content variations of email components are removed and only the default variations appear in the email.

Post Install Steps: After the package is installed, publish the workspace content to make it available to customers.

These packaging considerations apply to Lightning email templates, including email templates created in Email Template Builder.

  • For email templates created in Email Template Builder before the Spring ’21 release, attachments aren’t automatically added to the package. Open and resave these templates to turn the attachments into content assets, which are then automatically added to the package.
  • Enhanced email template folders have these behaviors:

    • If a package includes an enhanced email template folder, the target organization must have enhanced folders enabled for the deploy to succeed.
    • If an email template is in a subfolder, adding the root folder to a package doesn’t automatically add the email template to the package. If the email template is in the root folder, it’s automatically added to the package.
    • You can’t package an email template in the default public and private folders.
  • For merge fields based on custom fields that are used in the Recipients prefix (for leads and contacts), we add references to those merge fields. If the custom field is renamed, the reference in the template isn’t updated. Edit the custom merge field to use the new field name and update the reference.

An email template created in Email Template Builder can’t be edited after it’s downloaded. To edit the template, clone it.

When upgrading a package that has Email Template Builder email templates, only the associated FlexiPage is updated. After downloading the new version of the template, clone it to see the changes.

Considerations When Packaging

Though external auth identity providers are represented by metadata, the standard Metadata API can’t fully expose and render sensitive information like tokens in plain text. This means that sensitive values such as client secrets aren’t included in packages.

Package upgrades delete any additional custom request parameters that subscribers add after installing the package. Alert subscribers that they must recreate custom parameters.

Package developers can only create parameters and delete existing parameters. After package installation, subscribers don’t receive updated parameter values from package upgrades.

Relationship to Other Components

A callout to an external system references a named credential, which in turn links to an external credential. For external credentials that use OAuth 2.0 authentication, external auth identity providers obtain the OAuth tokens necessary for outbound callouts.

Feature Name: Metadata Name: ExternalCredential

Considerations When Packaging

Though named and external credentials are represented by metadata, the standard Metadata API can’t fully expose the definition of a credential and render sensitive information like tokens in plain text. This means that packaged named credentials don’t include the access tokens or certificates that are needed to perform authenticated callouts. You can create the external credential’s principal or populate its tokens or certificates in the UI or via the Connect API.

In managed 1GP packages, external credentials that use the OAuth 2.0 authentication protocol must reference an authentication provider to capture the details of the authorization endpoint. If you add an external credential that references an authentication provider, the authentication provider is added to the package. See Authentication Providers for information on which elements of an authentication provider are and aren’t packageable.

In managed 2GP packages, if an external credential uses an authentication provider to capture the details of the authorization endpoint, you can’t include the reference to the authentication provider in the package. If the external credential references an authentication provider, you must recreate the authentication provider in the subscriber org and add it to the external credential.

Post Install Steps

After installing an external credential from a managed or unmanaged package, you must:

  • Create the external credential’s principal or populate its tokens or certificates in the UI or via the Connect API.

  • Give permission sets and profiles access to the principals of the external credential. See Enable External Credential Principals.

  • Reauthenticate to the external system.

    • For a Named Principal, the admin must go to Setup > Named Credential > External Credential to authenticate.
    • For a Per User Principal, each user must go to My Personal Information > External Credential to authenticate.

Relationship to Other Components

ExternalCredential can be added to a package without a NamedCredential, but NamedCredential must be packaged with an ExternalCredential.

The named credential defines a callout endpoint and an HTTP transport protocol, while the external credential represents the details of how Salesforce authenticates to an external system via an authentication protocol. Each named credential must be mapped to at least one external credential.

Use Case: Use LMO-to-Subscriber feature parameters to enable and disable your app’s features, or use Subscriber-to-LMO feature parameters to track customer preferences and activation metrics.

Considerations When Packaging

Feature parameters are an extension of the License Management App (LMA), and because beta package versions can’t be registered with the LMA, there are aspects of feature parameters that can’t be tested using a beta package version. If you use the default value, you can test LMO-to-Subscriber values in beta package versions. You can’t test any Subscriber-to-LMO feature parameter values in a beta managed package version.

Usage Limits: A package can include up to 200 feature parameters.

Considerations When Packaging

Field sets in installed packages perform different merge behaviors during a package upgrade:

If a package developer:Then in the package upgrade:
Changes a field from Unavailable to Available for the Field Set or In the Field SetThe modified field is placed at the end of the upgraded field set in whichever column it was added to.
Adds a fieldThe new field is placed at the end of the upgraded field set in whichever column it was added to.
Changes a field from Available for the Field Set or In the Field Set to UnavailableThe field is removed from the upgraded field set.
Changes a field from In the Field Set to Available for the Field Set (or vice versa)The change isn’t reflected in the upgraded field set.

Subscribers aren’t notified of changes to their installed field sets. The developer must notify users of changes to released field sets through the package release notes or other documentation. Merging has the potential to remove fields in your field set.

Feature Name: Metadata Name: Flow

Use Case: To repeat a business process automatically such as creating an account when some criteria are met or sending an email every week, build a flow to save time and resources

Considerations When Packaging

  • When you upload a package or package version, the active flow version is included. If the flow has no active version, the latest version is packaged.

  • To update a managed package with a different flow version, activate that version and upload the package again. Or deactivate all versions of the flow, make sure the latest flow version is the one to distribute, and then upload the package.

  • In a packaging org, you can’t delete a flow after you upload it to a released or beta first-generation managed package. You can only delete a flow version from a packaging org after you upload it to a released or beta first-generation managed package, if:

    • Salesforce Customer Support activated the Managed Component Deletion permission.
    • The flow version is not the most recently packaged version of the flow.
    • The flow version is not active.
    • The flow version is not the only version.
  • You can’t delete a flow from an installed package. To remove a packaged flow from your org, deactivate it and then uninstall the package.

  • If you have multiple versions of a flow installed from multiple unmanaged packages, you can’t remove only one version by uninstalling its package. Uninstalling a package—managed or unmanaged—that contains a single version of the flow removes the entire flow, including all versions.

  • You can’t include flows in package patches.

  • An active flow in a package is active after it’s installed. The previous active version of the flow in the destination org is deactivated in favor of the newly installed version. Any in-progress flows based on the now-deactivated version continue to run without interruption but reflect the previous version of the flow. The same behavior is true even if the destination org deactivated the flow. Future active versions of the flow that are packaged activate the flow during package upgrade.

  • Upgrading a managed package in your org installs a new flow version only if there’s a newer flow version from the developer. After several upgrades, you can end up with multiple flow versions.

  • A package version can contain only one flow version per flow. If you install a managed package version that contains a flow, only the active flow version is deployed. If the flow has no active version, the latest version is deployed.

  • If you install a flow from an unmanaged package that has the same name but a different version number as a flow in your org, the newly installed flow becomes the latest version of the existing flow. However, if the packaged flow has the same name and version number as a flow already in your org, the package install fails. You can’t overwrite a flow.

  • A flow can be modified if it’s deployed in a managed package or between a package developer org and a subscriber org where either org has a namespace and the other doesn’t have a namespace.

  • Flow Builder can’t open a flow that is installed from a managed package, unless the flow is a template or overridable.

  • You can’t create a package that contains flows invoked by both managed and unmanaged package pages. As a workaround, create two packages, one for each type of component. For example, suppose that you want to package a customizable flow invoked by a managed package page. Create one unmanaged package with the flow that users can customize. Then create another managed package with the Visualforce page referencing the flow (including namespace) from the first package.

  • When you translate a flow from a managed package, the flow’s Master Definition Name doesn’t appear on the Translate page or the Override page. To update the translation for the Master Definition Name, edit the flow label and then update the translation from the Translate page.

  • If any of the following elements are used in a flow, packageable components that they reference aren’t included in the package automatically. To deploy the package successfully, manually add those referenced components to the package.

    • Post to Chatter
    • Send Email
    • Submit for Approval
  • If a flow references a Lightning component that depends on a CSP Trusted Site, the trusted site isn’t included in the package or change set automatically.

Feature Name: Metadata Name: Global Value Set; Component Type in 1GP Package Manager UI: Global Value Set

Considerations When Packaging

When explicitly referencing a picklist value in code, keep in mind that picklist values for a custom field can be renamed, added, edited, or deleted by subscribers.

Picklist field values can be added or deleted in the developer’s org. Changes to standard picklists can’t be packaged and deployed to subscriber orgs, and picklist values deleted by the developer are still available in the subscriber’s org. If there are differences between the package and the target org, or if there are dependencies on new values from features such as PathAssistant, the deploy fails. To change values in subscriber orgs, you must manually add or modify the values in the target subscriber org.

Updating picklist values in unlocked packages isn’t supported. Manually add or modify the values in the target subscriber org.

Package upgrades retain dependent picklist values that are saved in a managed custom field.

Global value sets can be added to developer and subscriber orgs. Global value sets have these behaviors during a package upgrade.

  • Label and API names for field values don’t change in subscriber orgs.
  • New field values aren’t added to the subscriber orgs.
  • Active and inactive value settings in subscriber orgs don’t change.
  • Default values in subscriber orgs don’t change.
  • Global value set label names change if the package upgrade includes a global value set label change.

When you create a custom global value set in API version 56.0 or later, the developer name is appended with the suffix

__gvs.

.

  • A global value set created before API version 56.0 doesn’t have the developer name suffix. For example, myGlobalValueSet.
  • A global value set created in API version 56.0 or later automatically has the developer name suffix __gvs, and you refer to it using the suffix. For example, myNewGlobalValueSet__gvs.

If you have a package.xml manifest file that contains global value sets, and you upgrade the package.xml file to API version 56.0, you must add the __gvs suffix to all of the global value sets in the file. You can do a new package retrieve in API version 56.0 to get all the global value set names. Your package.xml file looks like this XML.

To upgrade the file to API version 56.0, the file looks like this XML.

Feature Name: Metadata Name: NamedCredential

Considerations When Packaging

Certificates aren’t packageable. If a certificate needs access to an external system, an administrator must upload one to the subscriber org and reference it in the named credential.

Relationship to Other Components

You must package NamedCredential with the associated ExternalCredential component.

The named credential defines a callout endpoint and an HTTP transport protocol, while the external credential represents the details of how Salesforce authenticates to an external system via an authentication protocol. Each named credential must be mapped to at least one external credential.

Legacy Named Credentials

In Winter ’23, Salesforce introduced an improved named credential that is extensible and customizable. We strongly recommend that you use this preferred credential instead of legacy named credentials. For information on extensible, customizable named credentials, see Named Credentials and External Credentials. Legacy named credentials are deprecated and will be discontinued in a future release.

After installing a named credential from a managed or unmanaged package, the subscriber must reauthenticate to the external system.

  • For password authentication, the subscriber reenters the password in the named credential definition.
  • For OAuth, the subscriber updates the callback URL in the client configuration for the authentication provider and then reauthenticates by selecting Start Authentication Flow on Save on the named credential.

Documentation: Salesforce Help: Named Credentials; Named Credentials Developer Guide: Named Credentials Packaging Guide; Metadata API Developer Guide: NamedCredential

Contains the object-level mappings between the source and the target objects. The source and target objects can be an MktDataLakeObject or an MktDataModelObject. For example, an Email source object can be mapped to the ContactPointEmail object.

Considerations When Packaging

  • Packaged connections are installed as unprovisioned. Alert subscribers about how to provision connections after package installation.
  • If a developer changes the Region or Service Name of a packaged connection that is subscriber-provisioned, the upgrade fails for the subscriber. Alert subscribers about tearing down the connection before you update the Region or Service Name fields. As a best practice, avoid changing the Region or Service Name of a packaged connection unless necessary.
  • If you package a Named Credential that references an Outbound Network Connection, the referenced Outbound Network Connection component is automatically added to the package.

Use Case

You can use this component to create personalized recommendations for end users. A recommendation displays contextually in Salesforce and prompts the end user to accept or reject the suggestion. When an end user accepts or rejects the recommendation, Salesforce automates a process, such as creating or updating a record.

Considerations When Packaging: When you package a recommendation strategy, you must manually add object dependencies, such as recommendation, recommendationReaction, and flow.

Usage Limits: An admin must select an object dependency for Recommendation and RecommendationReaction because object dependencies aren’t added automatically.

Considerations When Packaging

  • If record types are included in the package, the subscriber’s org must support record types to install the package.
  • When a new picklist value is installed, it’s associated with all installed record types according to the mappings specified by the developer. A subscriber can change this association.
  • Referencing an object’s record type field in a report’s criteria—for example, Account Record Type—causes a dependency.
  • Summarizing by an object’s record type field in a report’s criteria—for example, Account Record Type—causes a dependency.
  • If an object’s record type field is included as a column in a report, and the subscriber’s org isn’t using record types on the object or doesn’t support record types, the column is dropped during installation.
  • If you install a custom report type that includes an object’s record type field as a column, that column is dropped if the org doesn’t support record types or the object doesn’t have record types defined.

CategoryProperties
Only Package Developer Can EditNone
Both Package Developer and Subscriber Can EditUrl
Neither Package Developer or Subscriber Can EditNone

Feature Name: Metadata Name: RedirectWhitelistUrl; Component Type in 1GP Package Manager UI: RedirectWhitelistUrl

Use Case

Customers can use a Salesforce security setting to specify what happens when a user clicks a hyperlink that redirects to an untrusted URL outside the salesforce.com domain. The customer can choose to block these redirections or alert the user that the link is taking them outside the Salesforce domain. The URLs in RedirectWhiteListURL are considered trusted for the purpose of that security setting.

If the Experience Cloud site pages, Lightning Experience pages, or custom Visualforce pages in your package include hyperlinks to URLs outside the salesforce.com domain, use RedirectWhitelistURL to ensure that users can access those hyperlinks.

Considerations When Packaging

When you include a RedirectWhitelistURL in a package, the URLs are trusted for redirections across Salesforce. Because this component modifies the security of the org, we don’t recommend that you include RedirectWhitelistURL in packages. Instead, instruct customers to use the Trusted URLs for Redirects Setup page or the RedirectWhitelistURL Metadata API type to add the URLs to their allowlist as part of activating your package. If you choose to include RedirectWhitelistURL components in your package, disclose this change prominently in your package documentation to ensure that your customers are aware of the security modification.

Usage Limits: The RedirectWhiteListURL component is available in API version 48.0 and later.

Relationship to Other Components: This component can be used only in conjunction with an Aura or Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) page for an Experience Cloud site, a Lightning Page, or a , or a Visualforce Page..

Considerations When Packaging

If a report includes elements that can’t be packaged, those elements are dropped or downgraded, or the package creation fails. For example:

  • Hierarchy drill-downs are dropped from activity and opportunities reports.

  • Filters on unpackageable fields are automatically dropped (for example, in filters on standard object record types).

  • Package upload fails if a report includes filter logic on an unpackageable field (for example, in filters on standard object record types).

  • Lookup values on the Select Campaign field of standard campaign reports are dropped.

  • Reports are dropped from packages if they’ve been moved to a private folder or to the Unfiled Public Reports folder.

  • When a package is installed into an org that doesn’t have Chart Analytics 2.0:

    • Combination charts are downgraded instead of dropped. For example, a combination vertical column chart with a line added is downgraded to a simple vertical column chart. A combination bar chart with more bars is downgraded to a simple bar chart.
    • Unsupported chart types, such as donut and funnel, are dropped.

    Metadata Name: Workflow

    Component Type in 1GP Package Manager UI: Workflow Rule

  • Salesforce prevents you from uploading workflow rules, field updates, and outbound messages that reference a record type on a standard or managed-installed object.
  • Developers can associate or disassociate workflow actions with a workflow rule at any time. These changes, including disassociation, are reflected in the subscriber’s org upon install. In managed packages, a subscriber can’t disassociate workflow actions from a workflow rule if it was associated by the developer.
  • On install, all workflow rules newly created in the installed or upgraded package, have the same activation status as in the uploaded package.
  • You can’t package workflow rules with time triggers.

This metadata type references an assigned workflow task.
