How can I deploy flexfields to a sandbox?

For value sets, key flexfields, and extensible flexfields, you must deploy changes directly to the mainline environment, not to a sandbox. But for descriptive flexfields, you must deploy your changes to a sandbox and test them before publishing your sandbox.

To deploy your descriptive flexfield to a sandbox:

1. Create or activate a sandbox, and select Flexfields from the list of tools.

2. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Descriptive Flexfields task

3. Open the flexfield you want to edit, and make your changes.

4. On the Actions menu, select Deploy Flexfield to Sandbox.
