            Deploy Applications with Shield Platform Encryption Enabled

            As a developer, you can deploy applications to your org by using tools such as Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code, Migration Tool, and Postman. When you deploy your application, the setting of the Encrypted Field attribute is determined by its setting in the target org.

            Required Editions

            Available in both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience.
            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with the Salesforce Shield or Shield Platform Encryption licenses.
            Available for free in Developer Edition.
            Note
            Note This page is about Shield Platform Encryption, not Classic Encryption. What's the difference?

            Use this table as a guide when deploying your application between orgs with different Shield Platform Encryption settings.

            Source Organization Target Organization Result
            Shield Platform Encryption enabled Shield Platform Encryption enabled The source Encrypted field attribute indicates enablement.
            Shield Platform Encryption enabled Shield Platform Encryption not enabled The Encrypted field attribute is ignored.
            Shield Platform Encryption not enabled Shield Platform Encryption enabled The target Encrypted field attribute indicates enablement.
            Note
            Note The setting of the Encrypted Field attribute in the target org is the one that's honored.

            You can also deploy Shield Platform Encryption by using the PlatformEncryptionSettings Metadata API. Regardless of how you deploy, Salesforce automatically checks to see if the implementation violates Shield Platform Encryption guidelines.

            Note
            Note Salesforce doesn’t impose a hard limit on the number of fields that you can encrypt, but there is one functional limitation. If you have Shield Platform Encryption enabled and you want to deploy packages, you can only deploy 80 fields at a time. If you configure 80 or more fields to encrypt, you must deploy the package in phases. which include fewer than 80 fields in each one.
