Code intentions for addressing unresolvable references by regenerating OST, downloading source, etc.

So we utilise external development sometimes and when we are importing code or code from other developers I find that we are missing SObjects or some custom fields on an existing object.

It would be great to have a additional quick fix option to ‘Download metadata' or ‘Find Metadata’.

‌

Additionally if possible it would be great if:

When multiple OST’s are found to search through them and suggest the related connection if possible.
Just download the specific types of metadata when refreshing the metadata from the target orgs to speed up the process.
If the inspection (see screen capture below) ends in ‘__mdt’ or ‘__c’ add option to create SObject or Custom Metadata.
Maybe just specify the connection to find the missing metadata and automatically search the target sandbox and download automatically (instead of the metadata retrieval dialog)
Run as a background task.

‌

Edit: Maybe even make it a multi-select picklist and IC justs finds the missing metadata in the target sandboxes.

If it’s apex code (e.g. Missing method from class) have it retrieve the code & merge from the specified sandbox.

hope that makes sense.

thanks
