When i use record type, I only get the option to show and choose record type ID. How can I show the actual text values? 

 

Ultimately, I want this flow screen to lead to another flow screen that shows related picklist values for other fields based on the record type selected in the beginning.

    Hello community and anyone else that stumbles back onto here!  I am getting a few questions about my answer, so I would like to clearly post a correct one that is based on the new Flow Designer (as my original one was based on the old one).

    On a Screen element, drag a Picklist Input field onto the layout.

     

    I called my picklist "Record Types" and the Data Type is set to Text.

     

    For Select Choices section, click the Choice box and choose "+ New Resource"

     

    The Resource Type should be Record Choice Set.

     

    I named my set "Record Type Choices".

     

    For the Object drop down, select "Record Type"

     

    Change the Condition Requirements to be "Conditions are Met"

     

    For the Field, select "sObjectType", equals, and choose the Object your record types are related to (Account, Task, etc.)

     

    Scroll down to "Configure Each Choice", this is where you set your labels and values.  Label is what you actually see in the drop down list and the value is the actual value of that choice.  Set the Choice Label to be "Name", choose the Data Type to be Text, and then Choice Value should be "Id".

     

    Here are a couple screen shots of my Task Record Type Picklist, where you get a choice of "System Task" or "Standard Task" (the names I currently have for Task Record Types).

    I hope that clarifies it for everyone!
