DevHubSettings | Metadata API Developer Guide

Parent Type and Manifest Access

This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

In the package manifest, all org settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See Settings for more details.

File Suffix and Directory Location

DevHubSettings values are stored in the DevHub.settings file in the settings folder. The .settings files are different from other named components because there is only one settings file for each settings component.

Version

DevHubSettings are available in API version 47.0 and later.

The wildcard applies only when retrieving all settings, not for an individual setting. For details, see Settings.
