I need to get metadata files from manually created Workflow Field Update actions. I created package.xml with following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <types> <members>*</members> <name>Workflow</name> </types> <version>61.0</version> </Package> then, I tried to retrieve metadata:
dzmitry@debian:/tmp/test-backend/unpackaged$ rm -rf *; sf force:mdapi:retrieve -o test-backend2 --unzip --unpackaged package.xml --retrievetargetdir /tmp/test-backend › Warning: @salesforce/cli update available from 2.45.6 to 2.53.6. Warning: We plan to deprecate this command in the future. Try using the "project retrieve start" command instead. Retrieving v61.0 metadata from [email protected] using the v61.0 SOAP API Retrieve ID: 09SH4000000G4cuMAC Retrieving metadata from [email protected]... done Wrote retrieve zip to /tmp/test-backend/unpackaged.zip Extracted unpackaged.zip to: /tmp/test-backend/unpackaged dzmitry@debian:/tmp/test-backend/unpackaged$ find . ./unpackaged ./unpackaged/package.xml ./unpackaged/workflows ./unpackaged/workflows/Case.workflow ./unpackaged/workflows/Account.workflow ./unpackaged/workflows/Quote.workflow However, those files is not all FieldUpdate workflows. Tooling soql api returns more of them:
dzmitry@debian:~/work/veloce-integration1$ sf data query -t -o test-backend2 --query 'select Name,Fullname from WorkflowFieldUpdate limit 100' › Warning: @salesforce/cli update available from 2.45.6 to 2.54.6.

Querying Data... done As you can see, mdapi retrived Case, Account, Quote workflows, but failed with __ApprovalItem__c related workflows.
Any ideas mdapi doesn't return all metadata?
How to get __ApprovalItem__c metadata files?
UPD: I also tried package.xml with ApprovalProcess type. The result is approval process with actions, but it only has name and type:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <types> <members>*</members> <name>ApprovalProcess</name> </types> <version>61.0</version> </Package> Response:
