Salesforce Facts by Abhishek

Here are two things to keep in mind while importing records with Data Import Wizard: 1) The fields available for mapping is based on the layout of the selected record type and the field level security of the user. 2) While importing records we need to select a checkbox named 'Trigger workflow rules and processes for new and updated records' in order to trigger the automations in place for that object.

Suppose we want to keep a field editable only during the record creation, and once record is created it should be read only in the UI level(for non-admin users). Apart from validation rule, we can make use of field section in lightning app builder to implement the same. In this example, the LeadSource field on opportunity is made read only once it is created by keeping two field instances with two different filters. Note: Field section does not work for community. Attached are the screenshots.

How do you access Polymorphic fields in graphQL wire adapter in LWC? Suppose we want to access the related case owner names of an account in graphQL. Since, Case Owner is a polymorphic field so we need to consider both the user and queue owner possibilities. Reference:  https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/lwc/guide/reference-graphql-relationships.html Attached are the screenshots.

While trying to fetch the field help text using SOQL on FieldDefinition object, we get the below error: No such column 'inlinehelptext' on entity 'FieldDefinition'. So, to get the help text we can use the getDescribe() call in the format: SobjectApiName.FieldApiName.getDescribe().getInlineHelpText(). For example, Account.AccountSource.getDescribe().getInlineHelpText();

In order to access Person Account fields, the import statement won't work in LWC for Account. We need to specify it the other way as a constant. Attached is the screenshot.
