Hi, could you please add our account to the account-level metadata (ALM) migration priority list?

We’re building a V4 API integration where a client reviewer approves files by setting Status, and our system reads that approval back. On our account, every field definitions call is blocked:

`GET /v4/accounts/{account_id}/metadata/field_definitions`

returns 403 {“errors”: [{“title”: “Forbidden”, “detail”: “Please migrate your account to account level metadata.”}]}

Without it we can’t get the Status field’s id or option ids, and we can’t create or write a custom field.

Thanks!

Hi @captivatejake! It looks like a request for ALM migration has already been submitted and work is underway. You should receive an update once this is completed.

Also just a heads up, I edited your original post to remove account-specific information
