[Day 2 The Summer '26 governance lever nobody's talking about — controlling autonomous field updates ]

Following up on yesterday's post about Multi-Agent Orchestration (and the governance worry a few of you echoed in the comments). 

Summer '26 actually ships a direct answer to it: "Control Which Fields Get Autonomous Updates." 

The mechanism is the Process Field Update Suggestions Flow. You can modify it to define exactly which fields the Sales Management agent is allowed to touch in your org — so you can let it update next steps and activity dates while keeping it away from Amount, Stage, or anything feeding your forecast. 

What I find interesting is that this is arguably the most consequential admin feature in the release, yet it's getting almost none of the attention the headline AI features are. 

A couple of things I'm thinking through, and would love this group's input on: 

• Are you planning to start restrictive (whitelist a few low-risk fields) and widen over time, or open it up broadly and monitor? 

• How are you handling fields that multiple teams depend on — off-limits to the agent entirely in your org? 

• Has anyone tested the Process Field Update Suggestions Flow in a sandbox yet? Curious how granular the control actually is. 

My instinct is to start narrow and earn trust, but I'd genuinely like to hear how others are approaching the automation-vs-control balance here. 

Day 2 of my daily series — thanks to everyone who jumped in on Day 1.
