Salesforce Fact #185 | Open report from screen flow

As admin, we can have a screen flow to quickly navigate to a report instead of going to the reports tab and then search the folder and then open the report. From the screen flow, we can simply click on the report link to open the particular report. The report link will be constructed based on our selected choice.

It is an easy approach to move to reports quickly which do not contain any filters. The downside here is we are using record choice set, so if there are huge number of reports it would not work well. So instead we can have one more picklist to ask the user first the letter and then we can show the report names starting with that only and this will also return less number of records.

Attached are the screenshots.

Salesforce Fact #218 | Blank picklist value is actually NULL

Image
Whenever we are setting any picklist field value to blank, it will get stored in database as NULL. So we need to be careful while processing this data after fetching from database. In this example, we are creating an account in a test method with type as blank, and populating blank using single quotes instead of NULL. Now after we fetch the data from the database it is NULL, not blank. Attached are the screenshots.

Salesforce Fact #947 | Resolving dashboard logged-in user limit error

As we know there's a limit on the number of dashboards with the option to run as the logged-in user, the below queries are useful while troubleshooting and resolving the error: SELECT FolderName,Title FROM Dashboard WHERE Type = 'LoggedInUser' OR Type = 'MyTeamUser' -> This will fetch the list if dynamic dashboards present in the org SELECT Id,Title FROM Dashboard WHERE Type != 'SpecifiedUser' -> This will return dynamic dashboards that are not in private folders.  SELECT Id,Title FROM Dashboard USING SCOPE allPrivate WHERE Type != 'SpecifiedUser'  -> This will return dynamic dashboards that are in private folders.

Salesforce Fact #989 | New delete files permission

Image
There's a new app permission 'Delete Salesforce Files' has been introduced in Spring'26. It can be assigned using a profile or permission set. This allows the users to delete accessible files irrespective of the ownership. The app permission can be checked in LWC as well similar to other app permissions. Attached is the screenshot. Reference:  https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_experiences_files_delete_files.htm&release=260&type=5 However, there seems to be one issue; With this permission, a user can delete a file with only view access to the file. Hope Salesforce will put further restriction to fix this in upcoming releases.
