Salesforce Facts by Abhishek

There is an empty key Id in Salesforce and the id is ' 000000000000000AAA'. This is equivalent to NULL or no-reference to parent record. This can be used in place of NULL while updating records via data loader without enabling the 'insert null values' setting. Reference:  http://www.fishofprey.com/2011/06/salesforce-empty-key-id.html Attached is one screenshot.

Screen reactivity feature works perfectly on input placeholder attribute as well. In this example, we are updating the placeholder text based on the selected account name from the lookup. Attached are the screenshots.

Suppose we have a lightning-datatable in LWC and we want to pass the selected record data to the screen flow and show the field values in different inputs. We can do that using lightning/flowSupport in LWC.

Note: Screen reactivity option is to be enabled in Process Automation Settings

Just like most of the programming languages, lwc:else is optional even if we are using lwc:elseif. In this example, we want to show data if the user is assigned either custom permission1 or custom permission2, but we don't want to show anything otherwise. For more details, check out:  https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/lwc/guide/create-conditional.html Attached are the screenshots.

There is a feature called 'Aloha' in Salesforce.  Once a package is passed the AppExchange security review process, limits such as number of tabs/custom objects are bypassed. The package would still get installed even if the installation org has reached any of those limits. This is referred to as Aloha.

Have you encountered this error: 'The callout couldn't access the endpoint, You might not have the required permissions or the named credential <Named Credential name> does not exist'. One of the reason could be the user doesn't have access to the 'User External Credentials' object. To resolve this, provide Read access to the user on this object.

We can create a screen flow for admin users to help them reset passwords for multiple users at once. Also, an invocable apex method is needed. Attached are the screenshots. Note: Each call to System.resetPassword() counts as 1 DML statement.

Suppose we want to get the country flag image for account shipping country in account detail page. We can use HTTP callout from screen flow to get the data. Attached are the screenshots.

We can pass apex defined type data from screen flow to LWC. Similarly, the data can be passed the other way around. In this example, we have a custom apex defined type which we are setting from the LWC and then passing it to the screen flow. The data can be accessed in the next screen, not in the same screen where the LWC is added. Attached are the screenshots.

There is a settings in User Management Settings which allows the external users to deactivate their own accounts. Reference:  https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.users_deactivate_external_option.htm&type=5

While using the 'Clone with Related' option, the related records are cloned in batches of 200. Validation rules, workflow rules and apex triggers are applied separately for each batch. Also, the selected related records can't be more than 999. Reference:  https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.basics_clone_records.htm&type=5

Just like we can use Star rating images  in formula fields, we can use the same way in flow text templates. Attached are the screenshots.

We have a File Upload input type in screen flow. It does have accepted file formats parameter, but doesn't show visual indicator for the same. Why not use an LWC to show acceptable file format icons using the base lightning-icon component. Attached are the screenshots.

We can show instant success/error message in the scenario of re-enter password validation in screenflow. This can be done using component visibility on two Display Text inputs. Note: This is not dependent on the reactive screen beta feature. Attached are the screenshots.
