Below is a list of metadata that Simple Translate currently handles:

purpose behind each sharing entry.

Field Set:

that can be reused in multiple places, making your application more flexible and easier to maintain.

Flow:

within your Salesforce organization. Flows can be used to guide users through screens for data
entry, automate record updates, send emails, and more.

custom picklist fields can use. A global value set isn’t a field itself.

or learn how to use a new feature.

offer specific page layouts, picklist values, and processes to different groups of users,
so they only see what matters to them.
Learn more: Salesforce: Record Types
Validation Error Message:
Tool used to ensure that data entered into the system meets specific criteria before it is saved.
When a user attempts to save a record that doesn't meet these predefined rules, Salesforce displays
an error message, prompting the user to correct the data
