Back in 2016 we created a Custom Metadata Type with about 3000 rows. There is a trigger that reads all 3000 rows (via SOQL) and creates a map. This has been working for years, until Winter '19.



Now, when we run the test Class for our trigger (in winter '19), we get this error message:




System.QueryException: myCustom__mdt received too many records from the external data source




Summer '18 Orgs work just fine like they always have.



SO! When I try to debug that error message, I find this knowledge article.
Too many records received from external data source



This basically says:




When using an External data source configured to use Server Driven Pagination and for a query on an external object from this external source results in server responding with a result page size greater than 2000 records results in the below error - ...




SO! Are Custom Metadata Types treated like external data sources and the limit is only now being enforced in Winter '19? Is there a limit on CMTs that I am violating and can't find a reference to?

    I opened a Case with SF Support... it's been escalated to the point where R&D is looking into it. I think it's a winter '19 bug. I hope it gets cleared up before release. I've been the little voice behind a known issue before, but never something like this!

    Does it work if you query once with LIMIT 1500 and then another with OFFSET 1500 and merge them? Slapdash non-scalable solution but at least it gets you through the storm.

  • @CharlesT I haven't tried it. A member of our Dev team was heading down that path while we awaited and answer from support. I might get some feedback on this tommorow. "Slapdash", I like that! I'm going to start using that term I learned from Charles T.

This is a Winter '19 bug. I've heard several other folks have the same issue and they put in tickets.
