Unable to generate offline symbol table

[Kevin Germain]

I can't create a new project for a particular org (very large org)

First I get an error “INVALID_TYPE: sObject type ‘CustomField’ is not supported.”

Then I’ve got this one:

‌

I tried doing "Resolve" but still got the same problem.
I have also tried generating manually without success.

‌

I have multiple Orgs and this is the only one I'm having trouble with.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi. It sounds like the user for your connection doesn't have sufficient authorization in the target org. Every user who has experienced this in the past (which to be fair has been limited to 2-3) has found that adding the required permissions to the user's profile or via permission set(s) resolves the issue. I apologize but I can't say for sure which permissions are missing but I would check for administrative permissions such as "Modify Metadata Through Metadata API Functions".

Hello, thank you for your quick response.

I confirm that modifying the profile solved the error so it was definitely a permissions thing.
I switched the user to System Administrator profile.

Thank you !

Permission issue. Changing the user by assigning the "System Administrator" profile resolved the issue.

I'm glad that helped you to resolve it, Kevin. Thanks for circling back around here to let me know.
