Hi guys

Just reminding everyone about this. Remember now that something like option
sets will -not- have the codes from options available by default, so you
will need to more clearly define what you need
?fields=id,displayName,options[displayName,code] for example

This affects all metadata requests, so this should be the first place to
start if you are seeing metadata related issues suddenly popping up
