Update Choices on a Screen in Real Time with Reactive Collection Choice Sets

Screen components that accept Collection Choice Set resources as inputs can now react to changes in other components on the same screen.

Example: use the output of a Data Table component to populate a collection choice set resource on the same screen

To build the reactive screen:

Create a screen flow, and add a Screen element to it

In the Screen element, add and configure the component that will be the source for the reactive interaction. In our example, add and configure a Data Table component that displays a list of contact names and its mailing cities for the user to choose from

Troubleshoot Screen Flows Faster with More Detailed Error Messages

Runtime error messages in screen flows now include more details to help you troubleshoot issues such as network connection problems, reactivity issues, and exceeded character limits in Lightning web components

Previously: error messages provided generic troubleshooting recommendations such as Hmm, that didn't work. Check your internet connection and try again, or refresh the page

Now: error messages include the cause of any errors in addition to the recommendations

Example: when the client sends Salesforce an incompatible navigation action, the resulting error message includes this detail: `Action not available for interview: NEXT`

Restrict User Input on Screen Components with the Disabled and Read Only Fields

Two new fields introduced to specify how users interact with screen components. When the Disabled field is set to true , users can’t navigate to or modify any fields in the component. A gray background appears on the input fields in the component to provide users with a visual cue When the Read Only field is set to true , users can’t modify any fields in the component. However, they can navigate to and copy values

To make a field disabled or read only:

Create a screen flow, and add a Screen element to it

Include one or more components with the Disabled or Read Only field

Set Disabled or Read Only fields to true

Save and run the flow

To use State and Country Codes in Address component:

Ensure that Enable Picklists for Address Fields is enabled on the State and Country/Territory Picklists page in Setup

Create a screen flow, and add a Screen element to it

Add an Address component to the screen element

Use the StateCode and CountryCode values from the Address component to update or create records

Save and run the flow

NEW Component: Action Button Component (Beta)

Action Button component can be now added to screen flows to run and retrieve information from an active autolaunched flow without leaving the screen. The component renders a button that invokes the flow when clicked

Example: a screen component that will include a Lookup component enabling users to search for and select one or more account records. Clicking action button on the screen will retrieve all related to these accounts opportunities and and display on the opportunities data table on the same screen

To use new action button:

Create a autolaunched flow that retrieves the account(s) and saves the related opportunities as one or more outputs

Create a screen flow, and add a Screen element to it

Include a lookup component that will hold the account(s)

Include an Action Button on the screen and configure it to launch the autolaunched flow with input the IDs of the accounts that the user selected in the lookup component
