Salesforce Fact #950 | Restricted profile cloning in action

We can use the Restricted Profile Cloning setting to avoid exposing permissions in cloned profiles.

For example, suppose we have enabled field service in the org and provided CRED access to Work Order object in a profile. Now, for some reason FSL is disabled in the org.

Now, profile is cloned and after cloning, the FSL is again enabled in the org. If Restricted profile cloning is enabled, the Work Order object would have no access in the cloned profile.

Steps to enable : Setup -> User Management Settings -> enable the toggle for Restricted Profile Cloning.

Suppose we are using the Lookup element in the screen flow and once a record is selected, we would like to get the value from other fields. Now, Lookup provides record Id and record Name field values by default. So in order to get the other field value we need to use a Get Records. But hold on! There is an option to get the field values without using a Get Records element. We need to define a child sobject variable and then in the advanced section, set the parent field Id with the record Id of the selected record in Lookup. In this example, we have a lookup of Account record and we are using a Contact record variable and setting the AccountId field with the selected record Id and later on accessing the field values from account. Attached are the screenshots.
