Not able to retrieve StandardValueSet

[msteinercrmfirm]

I'm able to SELECT StandardValueSet as a metadata type to retrieve however the package never seems to find anything.

After googling, I think there's a bug in the in the code generated in the package XML.
When I manually added attributes to the code it pulled it down successfully. See sample below...

OpportunityStage StandardValueSet 58.0

This is a fault with the API.
You'd need to open a case with Salesforce (and they'd probably tell you it's working as designed).

The SFDX CLI has a hardcoded selection that will be generated with sf project generate manifest, though it's missing, among others, GenderIdentity, Pronoun, AddressCountryCode, AddressStateCode.
More entries can be found here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/standardvalueset_names.htm

Has this been communicated to Salesforce? This package is very widely used and only growing more popular, I would think they'd actually want to adjust the API.

As per the documentation, the wildcard is not supported for this type (I would have expected an API error, but alas..).
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_standardvalueset.htm

Curiously, it is for StandardValueSetTranslation (from my experience, only for modified translations).

Totally get that it's not supported CURRENTLY in the API. I'm asking if this gap has ever been communicated to Salesforce. Surely you'd think they'd be open to changing the API so it is supported.

I am not that confident. I have already opened two other cases about the API with them, one about blatant errors, and both times I got the "working as designed" response.

Hi, Do you want me to remove the wild card for standardset in the generated package.xml? Thanks, Vignaesh Ram A

I'm not sure if that matters if the API is wrong. I guess I'd leave it in case they fix it.

What you could do is hard-code a predefined selection, and explicitly list them in the manifest even for "Select all", like with CustomObject. Here's a list with the usual suspects: AccountContactRole AccountOwnership AccountRating AccountType AssetStatus CampaignMemberStatus CampaignStatus CampaignType CaseContactRole CaseOrigin CasePriority CaseReason CaseStatus CaseType ContactRole ContractContactRole ContractStatus EventSubject EventType FiscalYearPeriodName FiscalYearPeriodPrefix FiscalYearQuarterName FiscalYearQuarterPrefix GenderIdentity Industry LeadSource LeadStatus OpportunityCompetitor OpportunityStage OpportunityType OrderStatus PartnerRole ProcessExceptionCategory ProcessExceptionPriority ProcessExceptionSeverity ProcessExceptionStatus Product2Family Pronoun QuantityUnitOfMeasure QuickTextCategory QuickTextChannel Salutation SolutionStatus TaskPriority TaskStatus TaskSubject TaskType WorkOrderLineItemStatus WorkOrderPriority WorkOrderStatus Other candidates (though not always present): AccountContactMultiRoles (for AccountContactRelation) AddressCountryCode (for standard-Address Country picklists) AddressStateCode (similar) EntitlementType QuoteStatus SalesTeamRole ServiceContractApprovalStatus SocialPostClassification SocialPostEngagementLevel SocialPostReviewedStatus
