      Get creation date of metadata

      Posted by Nitish on April 30, 2016 at 6:25 PM

      As the title says, is it possible to get dynamically get the creation date of custom metadata using Apex?

      I would like to know, for instance, which fields were created since 03/01/2016, in which objects, without having to manually look into each object's description page.

      Hi Nitish,

      You could also use Tooling API Objects to get the Created Date of metadata (not all but some supported ones).

      For example, executing a sample query in query editor tab of developer console will be like this.

      select DeveloperName, CreatedDate from CustomObject where CreatedDate < TODAY
