I am still fairly new to SaleforceDX. I have been tasked with putting together a sample data plan matching a small portion of our production data, for our new Scratch-Orgs. With foreign-key type relationships, I am having no problems whatsoever (Using the '@' symbol to build references like @AccountRef1). However, I am failing to see how this would be done when there isn't such a foreign-key type of field (master-detail and __r relationships specifically.) I have read a bit about putting together embedded queries, but that seems like it could get ugly, and I don't completely understand it. My question is: how do I import related objects without a field to put the @ related object reference into?

For example: A relates to B. How do I specify a relationship like B.ClassOfA.Id='@RefId' in my Plan's JSON file for B.

    You shouldn't do this manually - you use the force:data:tree:export command with the -p flag to generate the plan file with your json data files. Can you specify the relationship query you're using to extract the data?

  • @ThomasTaylor I'm not using a relationship query. I am just independently querying A and B, and then trying to tie-in the relationship after the fact. I have tried using the -p command, but all I get back is the same records as doing it without the -p, plus a series of errors like 'ERROR: Reference Group not found for OwnerId. Skipping record a0p0W000009fZZFQA2.'

  • @ThomasTaylor Please provide an example of how to query across relationships (if you can), so I can upvote you and make your answer the accepted one. Much appreciated.

Turns out this is not possible yet, but may be in the future. The following YouTube video explains the plans for a Shape Pilot currently in the making:
