Each transaction, which includes segmentation, activation, and data storage, uses credits. As budgets tighten, understanding costs becomes essential.

For organizations uncertain about potential consumption and costs, Salesforce's Digital Wallet provides valuable insights.

    A multi-select picklist field enables users to select multiple values from a predefined list rather than just one. However, there is considerable debate about its use in Salesforce due to various limitations. Salesforce has acknowledged these issues and now displays the limitations when creating such fields. One notable limitation is the inability to use the Get Records element in Flow to retrieve records based on multi-select picklist values.

  2. Salesforce Fact #737 | Show acceptable file format icons using LWC in screen flow
    https://sfactsabhishek.blogspot.com/2023/08/salesforce-fact-737-show-acceptable.html
    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.

  3. Salesforce Fact #855 | Dynamic record picker in LWC
    https://sfactsabhishek.blogspot.com/2024/07/salesforce-fact-854-dynamic-record.html
    We have a dynamic record picker in LWC. Using the combobox we can select the sobject and based on that we can set the objectApiName of the lightning record picker.

    https://www.sfdcstop.com/2024/01/log-lwc-event-messages-using-lightning.html

  6. Salesforce Fact #627 | Passing list of Sobject across batch apex
    https://sfactsabhishek.blogspot.com/2023/02/salesforce-fact-627-passing-list-of.html
    To pass List records between two batch Apex classes, the second batch can be invoked from the finish method of the first. In this scenario, the first batch creates five account records and then transfers them to the second batch. It is essential to use the Iterable type, and the first batch must implement the Database.Stateful interface to retain its values.

  7. Salesforce Fact #779 | Error during emptyRecycleBin()
    https://sfactsabhishek.blogspot.com/2023/10/salesforce-fact-779-error-during.html
    When using Database.emptyRecycleBin() method, specify only the top level record id if there are cascade delete relationships between records. For instance, when hard deleting account and related contact records, only the account record id is needed. Specifying both account and contact record ids will result in an error: 'Invalid record id; no recycle bin entry found'.
