If certain metadata types are missing in the Exclude from Auto Resolve picklist, what should you do?

The most appropriate action when certain metadata types are missing in the Exclude from Auto Resolve picklist is to add them to the Auto Resolve Exceptions list. This list is specifically designed to identify metadata types that should be excluded from the auto-resolve process. By doing this, you ensure that these specific metadata types are recognized as exceptions and that they won't be automatically resolved during deployments.

This process is crucial in maintaining the integrity of your deployment process, especially when certain metadata types may require additional attention or manual intervention to ensure that they are configured correctly in different environments. Therefore, including these metadata types in the Auto Resolve Exceptions list allows for better control over the deployment pipeline, helping to avoid potential conflicts or errors that could arise from automatic resolutions.

In contrast, adding them to the Global Value Set or referencing manual values are not directly related to managing the Exclude from Auto Resolve functionality, and consulting with an administrator, while potentially useful, does not provide a proactive solution to the issue of missing metadata types in the auto-resolve process.
