Do you know, Checkbox fields cannot be made required neither from page layout nor from the field level settings. 

Since, it is a boolean field which can have value either true/false, required is not supported to allow the false/unchecked value.

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 #929 | Nth highest in screen flow

Image
We can find the Nth highest value in screen flow using Get Records with a bit of logic. For example, we want to find the Nth highest NumberOfEmployees value across all the accounts. The idea is to fetch the records and then run a check to iterate over the records as long as the temp variable value is less than N value. The temp variable is initialized to 1. In the assignment we would keep on removing the first record. At the end, we will pick the first record from the collection. Attached are the screenshots. Note: this is just a POC flow and the error handlings, best practices are not covered.

Salesforce Fact #989 | New delete files permission

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.

Hope Salesforce will put further restriction to fix this in upcoming releases.
