I am getting the following error when I deploy a page layout containing the related list of open activities.

Invalid field:TASK.SUBJECT in related list:RelatedActivityList

Now to get the deployment to pass, I needed to remove the XML part of the page layout that contains details for this related list. Why is this happening, isn't this a reference to a standard field? Any thoughts guys.

  • Just guessing may be current user dont have access to that field. Can you goto that field and check the security for current user profile ?

  • If you are talking about the user that does deployment, that is the sys admin. So he has access

    For what it's worth, I was just able to deploy a page layout to the Account object with a RelatedActivityList that contained the TASK.SUBJECT field.

  • My custom object already had <enableActivities>true</enableActivities> but like the answer from George S suggests, I had to toggle this false (push) then true again (push) before my layout would push

Perhaps this a bug - there is a VERY similar issue with a different related list Invalid field:SOLUTION.ISSUE in related list:RelatedSolutionList Error when deploying Case Page Layouts .

Since the issue is so similar and was so recently fixed, I think you should report this one as a bug.

  • Yeah I agree, I have ran into this issue being some what more popular than mine - while googling the error. Thanks Caspar

In my case, I was deploying a Custom Object with

<enableActivities>true</enableActivities>

omitted, and then redeploying with the layout and enableActivities set.

That should have worked, but failed due to this bug: https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p3A000000IXGkQAO&title=excluding-enableactivities-and-enablereports-settings-from-customobject-metadata-incorrectly-disables-the-settings-in-target-org

Adding enableActivities to the original deployment fixed it.
