Should You Use Dynamic Forms For Flow?
I had a chance to sit down and chat with Alex Edelstein (Salesforce) and Eric Smith at TrailblazerDX. One of the topics that came up was dynamic forms for flow (fields) functionality. Alex said customers were slow to adopt this functionality. I was surprised to hear that.
Despite its limitations, this functionality speeds me up when building screen flows.
Salesforce screen flows offer functionality that expedites the creation of a form: Dynamic forms for Flow, a.k.a. Fields. This functionality allows you to add fields to a form that carry over the original properties from the object. The field type, required properties, and length are automatically taken from the object to the form. Furthermore, the default value prefills the form with the prior values if the form is for an existing record.

7 个月I would love to use it more but there are some limitations, specifically when you need to make a field required on a flow that is not required on the page itself. And in our case the main reason is that it's either a new field, and not all records have a value or we now require the field but it wasn't before so there is blank data etc.

7 个月When we started developing the Flow Tool Kit this was one of the primary pain points we were trying to solve for. Pulling the default field shape and UX from the object schema for speed, eliminating field mappings, yet also providing the flexibility to override the UX like the standard flow components allow. It seems we are far from the promised land on what this could be… Someday ????♂?
