Custom Metadata Types (CMDT) in Salesforce empower admins to define custom configuration records that are easily deployable and packagable. You can access them in Apex, Flow, and formulas.
Unlike custom objects, they are ideal for storing mappings, application settings, or business rules. Admins often need to clone Custom metadata types to align their configurations and eliminate inconsistency.
