When doing sfdx force:source:push with Account RecordTypes, I'm getting a series of errors like this:

productCatalog\main\default\objects\Account\recordTypes\AdvisorRep.recordType-meta.xml Picklist value: Competitor in picklist: Type not found (15:18)

The Type field is in the AdvisorRep.recordType-meta.xml file, and Type is a built in field. So I don't understand what this error is trying to tell me.

AdvisorRep.recordType-meta.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  • I think that the value Competitor is what is missing

  • I added the meta xml above. In the values list for Type, the first entry is Competitor

  • Make sure you are pushing against the correct API level. If too low, this field/value might not be defined.

  • I'm pushing this to a scratch org that I just created.

  • Make sure that the scratch org has all the correct features that you would expect - esp for this picklist. It could be that the api level is too high OR too low.

You receive this error because you added custom value to the standard picklist "Type" but your source directory missing following file:

AccountType.standardValueSet-meta.xml

It should be placed under force-app/main/default/standardValueSets folder and look like 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StandardValueSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <sorted>false</sorted>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Prospect</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Prospect</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Customer - Direct</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Customer - Direct</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Customer - Channel</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Customer - Channel</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Channel Partner / Reseller</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Channel Partner / Reseller</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Installation Partner</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Installation Partner</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Technology Partner</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Technology Partner</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Other</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Other</label>
    </standardValue>
    <standardValue>
        <fullName>Competitor</fullName>
        <default>false</default>
        <label>Competitor</label>
    </standardValue>
</StandardValueSet>

    This was the issue. For anyone reading this in the future, SFDX doesn't automatically export custom values that have been added to a Standard Value Set. So, you have to manually add an entry to your package.xml to add them. You also can't wildcard the members. - List of Standard Value Sets - How to add Standard Value Set to package.xml

  • Custom values can be retrieved from Scratch orgs using sfdx force:source:pull command but not sfdx force:retrieve

  • I'm not sure if this helps anyone else, but we were getting this error on a specific record type. The value in question was on the "Type" field. The solution was to pull down and version control the "ObjectType" field, in our case it was a Task, so retrieve -m 'StandardValueSet:TaskType'

I was having this difficulty too, but with this package I was able to deploy the values of the Case. Status:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Case.Ouvidoria</members>
        <name>BusinessProcess</name>
    </types> 
    <types> 
        <members>Case.Status</members>
        <name>CustomField</name>
    </types> 
    <types> 
        <members>CaseStatus</members>
        <name>StandardValueSet</name>
    </types>

</Package>
