Salesforce Field Sets play an important role in managing dynamic field visibility across Visualforce pages, Lightning Components, and custom applications. However, when administrators need to export Field Sets from multiple Salesforce Objects for documentation, audits, migration planning, or metadata analysis, the process quickly becomes time-consuming.

Unfortunately, Salesforce does not provide a native option to export Field Sets for multiple Salesforce Objects in a single operation. Admins are often forced to navigate through individual objects, open each Field Set separately, and manually compile information, resulting in significant effort and increased chances of oversight.

Challenges with Exporting Field Sets in Salesforce

When using standard Salesforce functionality, teams commonly face the following challenges:

  • No native option to export multiple Field Sets simultaneously
  • Requires manual review of each object and Field Set
  • Difficult to document Field Set configurations across large orgs
  • Time-consuming for audits, governance, and migration projects
  • Limited visibility into Field Set metadata at scale

As Salesforce environments grow, these challenges become even more difficult to manage efficiently.

BOFC (Bulk Object Field Creator) simplifies the process by allowing Salesforce Admins and Developers to export Field Sets across multiple Standard and Custom Objects in just a few clicks.

The exported report can be used for:

  • Salesforce org documentation
