Hi ,
Now with Spring 19 we can configure default field values with custom metadata types.
While creating fields you can defined the default value using formula expression. In formula expression you may not able to see the record name with field from meta data type.
But you can following syntax to include one metadata record field value.
$CustomMetadata.CustomMetadataTypeAPIName.RecordAPIName.FieldAPIName
Eg:
$CustomMetadata.DiscountPercent__mdt.IT.discount__c
Here
DiscountPercent__mdt - API name of the metadata type
IT - is API Name of the record in the metadata type
Discount__C- is Field API Name of the metadata type where we configure discount value.
By using this you can avoid updating the data references when there is any default value change in future instead you just need to change in one location which reflects all references.
