updateMetadata with listView & filterScope

[afawcett]

Just to let you know i am aware of this and will likely take a look next week at this.

In the meantime there is a comment in the Salesforce Metadata API documentation that states that 'List views with the Visible only to me Restrict Visibility option are not accessible in Metadata API. Each of these list views is associated with a particular user.'. Just wanted to let you know this, as this suggests your step 1 above is not possible.

Thanks Andrew,
I did see that in the documents when I was going through this, that's alright. The problem I'm trying to solve here is just clean up, we've moved a lot of business units into salesforce over the past year and one in particular (sales) needs to have permissions to manage public lists. They are supposed to share the lists only with their territory but they generally don't take that extra step and hit share to all instead... you know how that goes. So I want to have a batch that runs through them and changes the sharing to what it should be so it's not overwhelming for other departments.

Thanks again for your response, I look forward to the fix and using this package more!

Just been looking at this issue again, i am not sure what fix your expecting from me on this? Can you confirm and I'll take a look.

I'm not sure if there is a fix, I may be writing the code incorrectly. When the listView updates, it resets all of the values not specified to null or default. I wouldn't be specify the filters, since I don't want to change them but they are reset to the default value.

Yeah sadly it does not support partial updates, unlike some metadata objects, like Custom Object. So because you cannot retrieve it (because its not a shared one) you cannot update it and retain the original values. Sorry about this, it does seem like a restriction in the Salesforce API side of things sadly, i'll keep it in mind and if something comes to light I'll add a comment here for sure!
