Metadata Peek
Metadata Peek lets you view and inspect Salesforce metadata directly from any record or setup page — without navigating to Setup or deploying a package.
Features
Field Metadata Inspector
Hover over any field label in Salesforce and Metadata Peek shows a tooltip with:
- API name
- Field type and length
- Required / unique / external ID flags
- Default value
- Help text
- Formula (for formula fields)
- Picklist values (for picklist fields)
- Lookup target object
Object Metadata
Click the object header in any list view or record page to see:
- Object API name
- Record type count
- Trigger count
- Validation rule count
- Field count (total and custom)
- Sharing model
Page Layout Inspector
Open the layout panel to see the current page layout:
- Which fields are on the layout
- Field order and section grouping
- Required fields on layout vs. required at DB level
- Read-only fields
Inline Edit Support
For any metadata field, click Copy API Name to copy it to your clipboard — useful when writing SOQL, Apex, or building integrations.
Quick Navigation
Click any metadata item to jump directly to its Salesforce Setup page in a new tab.
