Description

### Describe the bug

When attempting to synthesize a custom resource that creates resources in Salesforce, I get the following error

image

### Expected Behavior

I was expecting to see SalesforceObject and SalesforceObjectFields as properties of "Custom::SalesforceMetadata" in the synthesized template

```json

"salesforcemetadataSalesforceMetadataResourceFCFF42F2": {
"Type": "Custom::SalesforceMetadata",
"Properties": {
"ServiceToken": {
"Fn::GetAtt": [
"salesforcemetadataSalesforceProviderframeworkonEventD0B8B143",
"Arn"
]
}

// SalesforceObject
// SalesforceObject.SalesforceObjectField

},
"UpdateReplacePolicy": "Delete",
"DeletionPolicy": "Delete",
"Metadata": {
"aws:cdk:path": "cdk-salesforce-iac-poc-stack/salesforce-metadata/SalesforceMetadataResource/Default"
}
},
```

### Current Behavior

`cdk synth` doesn't finish and throws the folllowing error

### Other information

My goal with this custom construct it to be able to use a single tool to develop solutions that require both Salesforce and AWS resources. This simplest repository I shared is attempting to create a very simple Database Table in Salesforce (they call it SObject, but let's try to use terms which both of us understand even if it is wrong). I want to join all salesforce resources under one called "SalesforceMetadata" so that it represents all metadata that belongs to a single Salesforce Organization. Moreover, I did not create custom resources for SalesforceObject and SalesforceObjectField constructs because I wan't them to be deployed by Custom::SalesforceMetadata. In other words, they can't be deployed alone.

I want to build something like Mongodb Atlas did

Research direction

Clone the linked cdk-salesforce-iac-poc repository and first run `cdk synth` with the reported CDK CLI and Node.js versions. Inspect how SalesforceMetadata, SalesforceObject, and SalesforceObjectField are defined and compare the failure with the expected synthesized Custom::SalesforceMetadata properties. Done means synthesis completes and the expected Salesforce properties appear in the template.
