Clarification on Metadata Sharing Between Tenants and Release Versions

No-Code Platform

For the Metadata Sharing tool…

  1. We can share metadata from a non-prod tenant to a prod tenant, correct?
  2. We can also share between release versions, correct? Are there any restrictions on going from a future release to a past release, or vice versa?

  • We can go from a non-prod tenant to a prod tenant, correct?
    • Correct
  • And it’s possible to go from a future release to an earlier release (e.g., 25.1 → 24.2)? The only restriction is that we cannot go from a current release to a future release—is that right?
    • Incorrect. You can only go from Older->Newer so 24.2->25.1 is supported. 25.1->24.2 is not supported.

My understanding is the reason older->newer is supported is the metadata may have been data transformed and you can apply the data transform going older->newer. You can’t un-data transform something going newer->older.
