How to add standard field lookup filter in to the change set?

Question

I need to add lookup filter modification in to the change set which is done to a standard field in the Contact object. Is that possible to do?

Answer 1

I don't think that it is possible to move custom lookup filters in standard objects between orgs with change sets. It should be possible using the Metadata API though, since the CustomField metadata has a field called LookupFilter, which has FilterItems and FilterOperations inside.

From the documentation:

CustomField

Represents the metadata associated with a field. Use this metadata type to create, update, or delete custom field definitions on standard, custom, and external objects or standard field definitions on standard objects. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.
