What should you do if the metadata item is not found due to prior deletion?

The choice to click on the Add Row button is appropriate because this action allows users to directly add new metadata items to the relevant project in Copado. When a metadata item is not found due to prior deletion, utilizing the Add Row functionality is critical as it streamlines the process of reinstating necessary components within the deployment flow. This option not only facilitates the recreation of the deleted metadata but also aids in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the metadata inventory.

Recreating the metadata item manually would require more effort and may lead to inconsistencies if not done correctly. Checking the recycle bin is typically a valuable step for recovering recently deleted items, but if the metadata is not present there, it is essential to proceed with directly adding the new metadata. Refreshing the page may momentarily resolve display issues but will not help restore or create the deleted metadata. Hence, the most efficient response in this scenario is to use the Add Row function.
