Description
FEATURE REQUEST: There are several caveats, exceptions, and other issues with wildcard usage, and the tool does not distinguish these exceptions or limitations.
Examples
CustomObject - Note how you work with the standard Account object by specifying it as a member of a CustomObject type. However, you cannot use an asterisk wildcard to work with all standard objects; each standard object must be specified by name.
AccountSettings - The wildcard character doesn’t apply to metadata types for feature settings, like AccountSettings.
AnalyticSnapshot - This metadata type doesn’t support the wildcard character * (asterisk) in the package.xml manifest file.
etc. I can list all the exceptions, not sure if that is worth it. At the present, the wildcard option is not particularly useful for those who want to scrape every last bit of data from the Metadata API.
