I want to know how to retrieve Custom Settings from my Sandbox into a local sfdx project. I know command force:source:retrieve but I do not know what parameter to use for retrieving Custom Settings. I have authenticated my Sandbox and tried 

sfdx force:source:retrieve -u MySandbox -m CustomSettings

It returned "No result found".

I have tried using Org browser metadata from VS Code, but I could not find anything related to custom settings.

How do I retrieve Custom Settings from my Sandbox?

They're the same as a CustomObject. You can retrieve one via the terminal:

sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomObject:CustomSettingName__c

In the Org Browser, they'll also be listed under Custom Objects.

  • Thanks! I did not know that they are Custom Object too. I looked on Custom Object on my sfdx project and the custom settings are there. – user2015 Mar 10 '20 at 12:55

Modify your package.xml from your manifest folder to include the below code

<types>
        <members>CustomSetting__c</members>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
</types>

Then right click on package.xml and select Retreive Source in Manifest from Org

  • Thanks for your answer! I thought CustomSetting__c was an object name. Apparently I have to change it to my custom settings name. – user2015 Mar 10 '20 at 13:01
