Screen Flow Lookup Component Filters, Limitations and Workaround

 

To anyone who is looking into this, I hope this may help you. 

 

The Lookup screen components, as well as record variable lookup fields has limitations in screen flows. Documentation is here

Lookup Screen Input Component and the considerations states:

  • Dependent lookup filters aren’t enforced for the Lookup component in a flow. Other lookup filters are enforced the same as they are in Lightning Experience record pages. When the flow accesses the Salesforce database, lookup filters are enforced. For example, when the flow executes the Create Records element, the flow fails if the value of the lookup field doesn’t meet the lookup filter requirements.
  • Dependent lookup filters aren’t supported.

 

Consider a business scenario:

  1. User has a picklist field, referencing a global picklist.
  2. Object record also has a picklist field, referencing the same global picklist.
  3. Lookup field on object record has lookup filter, only if the picklist values are equal.

This works fine on flexipages, but not in screen flow lookup components. 

 

Workaround:

However, if the lookup filter is changed from EQUALS to CONTAINS, then the filter still works. Just note, this is then not supported.

When adding a Upload File screen component, it appears from my research that you need to create the record prior then relate to the Related Record ID.  If that is the case, its a little problematic as I want all components on one nice neat screen.

 

Any suggestions or confirmation is most appreciated.

 

thanks

I have a date validation on a screen flow Needed_By>TODAY()+13 saying that the needed by date has to be in two weeks.. (there is also a default on the field of exactly two weeks)

 

I have no issue if i leave the default or make the default a later date, but when I make the date sooner, instead of showing the validation error message it gives me a fault:

 

Error element Request_Form (FlowScreen). The "6" value is a Text data type that's assigned to a field with an incompatible Number data type. Assign the value to a field with a compatible data type. #Flow #Screen Flow #Validation Rule

Dear all, 

 

We are testing and debugging a "Data Capture Flow" but no details are displayed in the "Debug details" panel. 

 

Do you have any idea why ?

Hello Trailblazers !! , 

 

I am encountering strange issue on my Screen Flow.  In my flow, On Display Screen, I have Choice Lookup, which uses Record Choice Set.  This record choice set will give me all the User object  records which matches criteria  1. isActive== true & 2. ProfileId == 'XXX...' .  

 

So technically on screen, from lookup I should be able to find all user which matches above criteria. However, I am not able to find few users which matches same criteria given above.  I compared both user records (able to find on Lookup & not able to find) as well, both users have same settigns, like PSG, etc.. 

 

Note: my flow is running as System Context with Sharing - Enforce Record-level sharing .
