[I] [Bug]: Salesforce Input sets metadata for all fields to 'String' (hop)

gertwieland opened a new issue, #6292:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/6292

   ### 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.

   Do NOT save, just look at the data preview. It shows boolean fields as Y/N

   Then, save the pipeline, and look at the Metadata again. 
   
   All fields are now set to String!

   Booleans now show as text "true" or "false"

   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.

   This is related to #6054 and fixed in the PR you referred to (#6101). 
   I just checked locally and this looks ok, but if you want to be 100% sure, you can download a development build and check for yourself. I'll close the issue for now, we can always reopen later if needed.
