Export Global Value Sets Salesforce

Managing picklist values is a routine yet essential administrative responsibility in Salesforce. But when organizations maintain dozens—or even hundreds—of picklists, Export Global Value Sets individually becomes a slow, repetitive, and error-prone task. Salesforce requires admins to open each Value Set manually, review the values, and copy them one by one into a spreadsheet.

For admins, architects, and integrators, this manual process not only wastes time but also increases the risk of missing or incorrect data.

To address this challenge, the Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC) App offers a fast, scalable, and accurate one-click method to export multiple Value Sets at once.

Business Requirement

Many teams need to export Value Sets in Salesforce for:

• Documentation or compliance reporting
• Migrating picklist structures between sandboxes and production
• Validating or auditing picklist configurations
• Sharing configurations with functional teams, consultants, or external systems

Since Salesforce does not offer a native option to export Global Value Sets in bulk, administrators are left with tedious manual work.

Challenges with Salesforce’s Standard Process

Using Salesforce Setup, admins must:

1. Navigate to Setup
2. Open each Global Value Set individually
3. Scroll through all picklist values
4. Copy/paste them manually into spreadsheets

This approach is time-consuming and becomes unmanageable for large orgs with complex metadata structures.

BOFC – A Faster, Smarter, Scalable Alternative

With BOFC, Salesforce teams can export Value Sets in just a few clicks. The app transforms a slow, manual process into a smooth, automated workflow—saving hours of effort.
