CaseComment and IdeaComment support

[Peter Lin]

Hi Scott, I am not sure whether we need to retrieve the following metadata into IC plugin. I found that I can retrieve them using some other tool, but just wanted to share it with you. CaseComment.object IdeaComment.object

Peter, those two SObjects aren't included in the response to the metadata API's listMetadata(CustomObject) call. There are a few other objects that behave similarly, e.g., Document and PushTopic. Can you explain your use case for these two objects so that I can make sure I have them covered when I address this issue?

[Peter Lin]

Scott, I am not using those two object metadata, so I do not have any use case about it. The tool I was using is at http://docs.copa.do/copado/git-snapshot . I've pasted two files here.

CaseComment.object

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

IdeaComment.object

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CustomObject xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <fields>
        <fullName>CommentBody</fullName>
    </fields>
    <fields>
        <fullName>IdeaId</fullName>
        <type>Lookup</type>
    </fields>
</CustomObject>

Scott, I also found that IC retrieved one more field (LocationId) than Copa.do in Asset.object as below. And I am not using it and not sure if this is useful or not, just wanted to share it with you.

Asset.object was retrieved by IC.

Asset.object was retrieved by Copa.do.
