In a flow, I have to set a field for a set of records all to the same value. Seems like the std practice is to use a loop element, build up a record collection with new values inside the loop, then use an UpdateRecord element outside the loop to update the actual records.
That works, but it's a lot of fuss. It seems like there should be an element out there somewhere that takes a record collection, lets you choose a field and specify a value, and updates every record in the collection - the "flow version" of good ole' Mass Update from SF Labs.
Anyone seen such an element, or is there a tricky way to use the Update Records element I am not seeing?
Even in Apex we have to do the equivalent of loop - assign - add to collection - update. While the UnofficialSF component presents this mechanism as a single action in the UI, behind the curtain it still has to do the same series of low-level actions.
