The package type can be defined as User Managed or Dynamic. User Managed packages refers to a package packages where the user manages the content as and the sort order. In contrast, the files for dynamic packages are not managed by the user. Dynamic packages contain two fields called include path and exclude path, which are regex expressions that match the file path of the files that should be or should not be included in that package. More than one include or exclude path can be defined by adding that new path on the next line. Note that when new files are populated from Project Files tab then all dynamic packages are updated accordingly. This can be a huge time saver when having to add / remove files from multiple packagesbig productivity gain when the contents of the package can be derived according to some rules (e.g. file path) . By default, new packages are set to User Managed type, as well as for Salesforce DX packages created from the SFDX.json file.
Below is an example of a dynamic package.
