Where can available metadata sources be controlled when creating a scratch org from a user story?

The correct answer is found in the Copado DX Mode picklist on the Pipeline record. When creating a scratch org from a user story, the metadata sources that are available can be influenced by the settings configured in the pipeline. The Copado DX Mode specifically allows users to specify the metadata sources they want to include when the scratch org is created. This is crucial because it enables teams to tailor the scratch org to meet their development needs by ensuring that only the relevant metadata is incorporated, facilitating a more focused development environment.

The settings for the scratch org definition outline the general structure and capability of the org itself, such as the features, edition, and settings that are used to create the org but do not specifically focus on controlling available metadata sources in relation to a particular user story. The user story settings primarily govern the aspect of how the user story itself is managed or prioritized, rather than defining the particular metadata to be included. Deployment Settings typically refer to configurations for the actual deployment process rather than the setup phase when initially creating the scratch org. Therefore, the Copado DX Mode picklist directly influences the metadata selection associated with user stories at the pipeline level.
