Dynamic Forms in Salesforce feel wonky out of the box. 

 

With Page Layouts, fields align nicely by default. 

 

With Dynamic Forms, you have to manually enable “Align Fields Horizontally” every time to get the same behaviour. 

 

That really shouldn’t be the default. If you agree this should be an org-wide setting, please upvote the idea

Let’s make Dynamic Forms behave the way we expect.

Hi! 

 

I'm having some issues while completing the challenge "

Embed Dashboards and Report Charts on Lightning Pages", more specifically, the last part, Embed a Report Chart. 

 

When I add the Standard Report Chart, I am prompted with the following message: "You need access to the source report type to view this report chart." Would you happen to have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? 

 

Based on my permissions, I'm currently set as System Admin in this Org.

 Hey Trailblazers! 👋

I've just submitted an idea that would make working in Lightning App Builder more efficient – especially for those of us building complex pages.

👉 Idea: Add the ability to collapse or hide the left and right panels (components and properties), similar to how Flow Builder lets you toggle the toolbox when working in Auto-Launch mode.

🔗 Here’s the IdeaExchange link:  

https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0BHp000016Kq1lMAC/add-collapsible-side-panels-to-lightning-app-builder-for-better-layout-control

 

 

✅ This would give us more space in the middle workspace and improve layout control during design time. Small UX change — big productivity win!

If you find this useful, I’d love your vote and support. Let’s get this on the radar! 🙌 

Thank you.

While following this TH: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/lightning_app_builder/lightning_app_builder_apphome, I was adding Actions to the page including Log a Call, New Account & New Opportunity.

 

Although I'm facing no issues with the Log a Call or New Account actions, I cannot get the New Opportunity button to appear on the app home page. I have refreshed the screen, switched between apps and even logged out and back in again which has worked for me in some cases while doing TH's like this in the past.

 

This first screenshot illustrates where the button is missing on the newly created app home page. The second screenshot illustrates where the Page Properties does in fact show the New Opportunity button.

    Exactly! =) Now you can move forward with peace of mind =) I'm glad I could help. 

     

    Honestly, I’ll say that some challenges can leave the impression that you've followed all the instructions but made a mistake, even though the challenge was accepted.  

     

    In such cases, I try to go through the topic again to reinforce the material, or I simply forget about it and remember it a few months or even half a year later :D

    The system right now doesn't allow a blank value for Equal or NOT Equal, I've just tried a fallback rule (Rule 5) set to Always. I also tried this as =! Gold, Platinum, Bronze or Silver. When the field was blank it did not display any icon. The system right now doesn't allow a blank value for Equal or NOT Equal, I've just tried a fallback rule (Rule 5) set to Always. I also tried this as =! Gold, Platinum, Bronze or Silver.I suspect this is a limitation considering the feature is in it's infancy, the last option would be to use a formula field in a condition instead but that may not work.

Hi, 

 

I have a Lightning Page on our Lead object with a field linked through to Opportunity__r.AccountId. 

 

This allows the user to view existing Person Accounts. 

 

I can see it as system admin, but I can't work out how to give permissions for other profiles/permissions sets. I've given full access to the Opportunities & Account objects, but they are still unable to view the field on the Lead Lightning page.

 

Any ideas would be welcome!

    Hi @Dave Shaw, 👋

    I'm trying to understand how you enabled this "field linked through to Opportunity__r.AccountId"

    I can see you have a field "Account Name" in your Lead page (Lightning Record Page), and its API name is "Opportunity__r.AccountId", which means there is a relationship between Lead and Opportunity. How did you achieved that?

    It seems you have a Lead lookup field in the Opportunity object. Is that right? 

    Actually, it's the other way around, otherwise you would end up having a related list of opportunities on the lead page. 

    🎯 Have you checked the Field-Level-Security / Read Access for the Opportunity field on the Lead object?

Hi Everyone,

I created a lightning app in my dev org. Retrieved the metadata xml in vs code and then deployed it to the test org. Now, I see the metadata in the test org via vs code and I can retrieve and deploy it via the vs code. But strangely I cannot see the lightning app in App Manager list view. Has anyone faced this problem? Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi @Preeti Rathore,

     

    It seems like you successfully deployed your Lightning app's metadata to your test org via VS Code, but you're encountering an issue where the app isn't appearing in the App Manager list view. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: First, check the Deployment Status in Salesforce Setup to ensure there were no errors during deployment. Next, try refreshing the App Manager page in the test org or logging out and logging back in to see if the app appears. Double-check the <YourApp>.flexipage-meta.xml metadata file to ensure it's correctly configured with the <masterLabel> and <description> tags. Verify that profiles in your test org have appropriate permissions to access the Lightning app. If you're using namespaces, ensure they're correctly applied in your metadata files. Lastly, consider checking if your Salesforce edition supports custom Lightning app creation, as some editions have limitations. If the issue persists, reviewing deployment logs in VS Code or Salesforce Setup can provide more insights into any encountered errors or issues.

Is there a way to default the campaign member component within the campaign lightning record page to show the horizontal bar chart instead of the pie?

Hi all,

I got an issue that is related to Reports.

We did a report and we added a Related on Account page via lightning App Builder.

The main problem is that the Report that we see is different (it doesn't group by Columns but only by Rows).

In the related of the Account I only See the first two rows, but not the columns.

While on the Report I see the grouping correctly.

 

It seems however that in the related of the Account object, I can only see the first two rows of a report, but not the grouping of the columns.

 

Do you have a solution or is it simply a limit of SF?

Thanks

 

@Doriana Tedone
