Custom links and custom buttons are stored as a WebLink
metadata type in your Salesforce org, which is a subcomponent of Custom object
.
If you wish to compare or deploy them, you need to ensure Custom object
is included in the Gearset metadata comparison filter.
How to compare WebLink metadata type?
You can choose to compare the entire Custom object
with all of its subcomponents, or use the metadata filter to narrow down the retrieval to only include WebLink
.
To narrow down your filter, on the Gearset Compare and deploy page open COMPARISON FILTER
menu and select Manage custom filters...
You can then customize your filter to match your requirements within the popup modal.
