I have a requirement to create a protected (visibility) custom setting which will be part of managed released package, now in the next release we need to make the visibility to public.

I know there are several scenarios where once some components are packaged you cannot update/delete the properties.

Q) If I make the visibility of a custom setting to Protected in v1.0 of a managed package, and in v1.1 make it public, does salesforce allow it?

Regards,

  • In fact, you can't change the setting from the moment it's created. It's a done deal, forever.

Prior to the Summer 15 release, you could not change the visibility of custom settings once they were created. But starting in Metadata API v. 34.0, you can change a custom setting from protected to public (but not the other way around) using the Metadata API, even after managed package release, unless you're in a patch organization. The user interface doesn't support doing this yet, though.
