All Categories > Knowledge Base > Unexpected Error while taking a Snapshot: There is a geolocation field in the file that Salesforce API does not accept
Salesforce Metadata API does not support geolocation fields. These fields have to be deployed using Change Sets, and can't be committed to any repository.
You can continue deploying/committing the other fields using Copado.
