I am trying to add new field items to a Layout section.Everytime a new section is getting created even if i am assigning the same Section.
If i deploy the same section to the Layout, it gives an error 'Field appears more than once' as it tries to deploy the same fields again.
If i make a new column it creates a new section automatically.
How can i add new LayoutColumn to same section through Metadata API.
Below is my code :

public static void addFieldToLayout(String[] lstOfDataPointsToInsert){
        list<String> listTrimmedFields = new list<String>();
        MetadataService.LayoutColumn newLayoutColumn = new MetadataService.LayoutColumn();
        MetadataService.LayoutColumn newLayoutColumn1 = new MetadataService.LayoutColumn();
        list<MetadataService.LayoutColumn> mdcolumn1 = new List<MetadataService.LayoutColumn>();
        list<MetadataService.LayoutColumn> mdcolumn2 = new List<MetadataService.LayoutColumn>();
        
        list<MetadataService.LayoutColumn> listColumns = new list<MetadataService.LayoutColumn>();

Here is my code for a separate section and a column.I need to 2 two columns as i have many field to show on that section of layout.
Can anyone help how to divide a section in two columns by apex.I am using Metadata API currently.

if(layout.layoutSections==null)
            layout.layoutSections = new List<MetadataService.LayoutSection>();
        MetadataService.LayoutSection newLayoutSection = new MetadataService.LayoutSection();
        newLayoutSection.customLabel = true;
        newLayoutSection.detailHeading = true;
        newLayoutSection.editHeading = true;
        newLayoutSection.label = 'Keyword fields';
        newLayoutSection.style = 'TwoColumnsLeftToRight';}

 

When i deploy Layout with 1 field everything works fine whereas when i deploy fields as a list , not even a single field is showing in the Layout. Below is the code i am using for field creation, then assign profile and atlast add it to the Layout:

public class DynamicDatapoints {
    public static void dynamicCreation(list<String> lstOfDataPointsToInsert){

        List<MetadataService.CustomField> lstAllCustoField = new List<MetadataService.CustomField>();
        for(integer i=0; i<lstOfDataPointsToInsert.size(); i++){
             MetadataService.CustomField customField = new MetadataService.CustomField();

I have a requirement where i have to integrate SFDC to AWS and thinking to use Platform events for the same.

My question is how can pass the data(records) to Platform events so that it can process it and send it to DynamoDB(AWS).

Like in trigger we pass trigger.new to our http class and it is therafter processed. How can i do this using Platform events so that our events publishes that particular data which i have to send it to DynamoDB.

Also, I have to process that in bulk.(more than 1k recs at a time.)

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a requirement where i have to push JSON in a specific format where Key should be Field Label and Value should be values in Tigger.new.  
Problem here is the Trigger.new or Trigger.newMap alwayz returns sObject let say Key-API name and their corresponding values.
How do i get Label Name instead of API name corresponding to Trigger.new values ??
Any help would be  appreciated

Any help would b highly appreciated

obj A mandatory lookup to obj B,obj C mandatory lookup to obj B , obj A lookup to obj C (not mandatory)...Provided this i have the following requirement.....if A created check whether obj C exists for obj B or not...if not create one and also link obj A to C.
there is a date time field in obj A and obj C...We need to check whether their d/f is more thasn 12 hrs or not..if yes create record in obj C if no simply link Obj A to obj C (link the records)....given obj 1- photo , obj 2 - asset , obj 3- asset visit
my trigger goes like this but not working as expected..

hi, I m a bigginer, I want to insert set of record in object. how set of sobject is converted into list ?  How to update those records?
Same for Map.
  Please help me with it.

I've completed the challenge, it has 100% coverage. I've checked all the method names. The URL is valid. I've used Work Bench and curl to test and even tested with multiple Accounts with and without contacts.

I know on other challenges, punctionation was important.  What about the defination of the return? Are there expected names?

I built a class to hold Account ID & Name along with a List of Contact names and IDs. Is this my issue?  Anyone else have a challenge with this challenge?


Any help or hints will be appreciated.

Here are snippets of my code:

@RestResource(urlMapping='/Accounts/*/contacts')
global with sharing class AccountManager {

....

global class APIAccount {
        public ID Id;
        public String Name;
        List<APIContact> Contacts;

...

@HttpGet
    global static APIAccount getAccount() {
        RestRequest request = RestContext.request;
...
