I am deploying a brand new Custom Object and all associated Custom Fields from one Dev environment to another Dev environment. I'm receiving the "Invalid parameter value" error on one of my custom profiles during the validation for deployment.

Screenshot:

I've read this StackExchange post suggesting that I need to create the Profile manually in my receiving org first (do my own clone) prior to validating/deploying: Invalid parameter type error while deploying custom profile

However, the profile in question already exists in the receiving org and the sending org.

I also know that Salesforce had a Known Issue regarding validate/deploy of profiles with "View All Data" settings, but this was resolved in Winter '16 based on their Known Issue: https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p30000000T4OvAAK

Due to the generic nature of the error, I am unsure exactly where to begin in debugging it farther. As I am deploying a brand new object, I don't really want to resort to excluding my profile from the ChangeSet and needing to go manually fix all profile CRUD and field level security in the receiving org.

It may be worth noting that the originating org is on Summer '16, and the receiving org has been upgraded to the Winter '17 preview.

Question: Does the difference in Salesforce releases between orgs have anything to do with this problem? Is there anything else that I can do (other than excluding my profile(s)) to resolve this problem without engaging Salesforce support?

  • I have had this happen before IIRC when the sending org was on a newer release. It was resolved when the receiving org was upgraded to the new release. It does not help you now though.

  • Added screenshot as requested @AdrianLarson, tho I don't know if it will help because I'm learning more towards thinking the same thing as Eric. It might be because of difference in version

  • That sucks. Is the Profile your only component? If not, can you try reducing your Change Set down to just that and seeing if it will go through.

  • No there are about 80 components, a new custom object, all related custom fields of that object, 2 apex classes/2 test classes, 2 triggers, etc. Basically everything related to that new object. I'll try that - and if that doesn't work I guess I'll have to push it to this org without the profile and fix it on the receiving end. Not ideal but we do what we must!

I am experiencing the same issue (new custom object, 'invalid parameter value' deployment error when including a custom profile). However both origin and target sandboxes are on the same release (Summer '17). :<(

I see a Known Issue here about this error if a profile is cloned from System Administrator but has Modify All permission removed. Recently updated so there still seems to be some wonkiness in this general area.
