Getting stuck on limited metadata choice for new non-SFDX project/ .forceignore error message

[René Görgens]

Hi Scott,

While creating a new non-SFDX project, after adding a new connection I get stuck on the “coding” metadata subset:

‌

None of the controls helps: the list doesn’t get updated by any available button.

Additionally, when clicking ‘Selected’ to see if that changes anything, I get the below error message:

Reproducible after IDE restart.

An empty project can be created and metadata retrieved afterwards, but initial metadata selection (outside of “coding”) is blocked.

Resulting package.xml is actually empty:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<version>56.0</version>
</Package>

Priority suggestion bumped up to critical due to dysfunctional behaviour of key dialogue (important for newbees).

Hotfix delivered as 2.2.4.6. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Thanks for the quick fix! It’s working w/o quirks now
