If it is retrieved in mdapi format it should correctly converted to source format.

Actual result

During retrieve SchedulingObjective metadata is not retrieved.
During convertion an error "No results to format" is returned.

In Metadata API SchedulingObjective metadata has suffix "SchedulingObjective" but in source-deploy-retrieve repository in file metadataRegistry.json it is "schedulingObjective".

Hello @Artem1433 👋 It looks like you didn't include the full Salesforce CLI version information in your issue.
Please provide the output of version --verbose --json for the CLI you're using (sf or sfdx).

A few more things to check:

• Make sure you've provided detailed steps to reproduce your issue.
  • A repository that clearly demonstrates the bug is ideal.
• Make sure you've installed the latest version of Salesforce CLI. (docs)
  • Better yet, try the rc or nightly versions. (docs)
• Try running the doctor command to diagnose common issues.
• Search GitHub for existing related issues.

Thank you!

Hello @Artem1433 👋 None of the versions of sf you shared match the latest release.

Shared: 2.124.7
Latest: 2.125.2

Update to the latest version of Salesforce CLI (docs) and confirm that you're still seeing your issue.
You can also try the rc and nightly releases! (docs)

After updating, share the full output of sf version --verbose --json
