### Apache Hop version? 2.16 ### Java version? openjdk version "17.0.13" 2024-10-15 ### Operating system Windows ### What happened? Hop 2.16 reads all Saleforce input fields as String. As a result, boolean fields are not showing the expected values Y/N, but true/false. Even worse, when hitting "Get fields", it shows the correct data types. However, after saving, it just sets them all back to String. It's very easy to reproduce. Hit "Get Fields", and it shows the correct metadata. <img width="2311" height="2241" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/15f5584f-bbd9-4b56-934e-89581b330962"; /> Do NOT save, just look at the data preview. It shows boolean fields as Y/N <img width="144" height="192" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/46a2e2f0-2000-486f-937a-752b50555a3e"; /> Then, save the pipeline, and look at the Metadata again. All fields are now set to String! <img width="2152" height="2151" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0099baac-97fe-4174-a2c1-c6443701606d"; /> Booleans now show as text "true" or "false" <img width="183" height="372" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b97dd23b-93d3-4ca2-9c46-0297d75fca93"; /> On our end, this created quite a disaster because a good part of our access control automation is based on such checkboxes. Access is typically granted where values are set to "Y', otherwise denied, but the logic did not expect "true", so most of the access for most of our users was suddenly denied. I'll just downgrade to 2.15 for now. I guess I'll have to be much more careful with future updates. I'll try to think of better protection mechanisms, eg. force pipelines to fail when certain fields return unexpected values. ### Issue Priority Priority: 1 ### Issue Component Component: Hop Run -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
