Which Variable to Use in an Assignment Step
In a non‑record‑triggered Salesforce flow, the Get step returns a record variable (Get_Account) that stores all fields automatically. Updating the Phone field directly on Get_Account causes the flow to write every field back to the database, even those unchanged. Creating...
Convert Multi-Select Picklists to Text
Salesforce admins can now transform a multi‑select picklist into a plain text field using Flow, simplifying downstream usage. The method copies the picklist value to a new text field and replaces the default semicolon delimiter with commas via the SUBSTITUTE...
