Considerations for Feature Management

Keep these considerations in mind when working with feature parameters.
  • After a feature parameter is included in a promoted and released package version, we recommend that you only edit the value field located in LMO-to-subscriber junction objects.

    Modifying or deleting other fields or records related to feature parameters, including the data flow direction, may cause the FMA to stop operating correctly.

  • Don’t use the LMO to create or delete feature parameters.
  • When you update LMO-to-subscriber values in your LMO, the values in your subscribers’ orgs are updated asynchronously. This process can take several minutes.
  • When you publish a push upgrade to your managed package, feature parameters in your LMO and your subscribers’ orgs are updated asynchronously. Creating and updating the junction object records can take several minutes.
  • When the Apex code in your package updates subscriber-to-LMO values in your subscriber’s org, the changes can take up to 24 hours to reach your LMO.
