Salesforce Picklist by RecordType Report

Salesforce Picklist by RecordType Report (SPRR) is a VS Code extension that shows which picklist values are enabled for each RecordType of a given Salesforce SObject, directly inside the editor.

Working with Salesforce metadata files (.object-meta.xml) and needing to audit picklist configurations across RecordTypes can be tedious. SPRR parses the file and opens an interactive report panel — no files written to disk.

Requirements

• A Salesforce project with metadata source files.
• The active editor must be focused on an .object-meta.xml file that contains <recordTypes> with <picklistValues> entries.

Features

SPRR: Create Report

Opens an interactive report panel from the currently focused .object-meta.xml file.

How to use:

1. Open an .object-meta.xml file in the editor (e.g. Account.object-meta.xml).
2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P).
3. Run SPRR: Create report.

Output:

A panel opens beside the editor with:

• A dropdown to select any picklist field by API name.
• A table showing one column per RecordType with the enabled values listed below the RecordType name.
• Styling that adapts to your VS Code theme (light and dark).

Example view for Account.object-meta.xml:

Picklist field: [Industry ▾]

┌─────────────────────┬──────────────────┐
│ RT_PersonAccount    │ RT_Business      │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ Technology          │ Finance          │
│ Healthcare          │ Technology       │
└─────────────────────┴──────────────────┘

Known Limitations

• Only one workspace folder is currently supported (uses the first folder in the workspace).
• The XML file must follow the standard Salesforce metadata format for CustomObject.
• At least one RecordType with picklist values must be present in the file, otherwise the command will report an error.
