Prefixed custom fields cannot be retrieved in formulas defined in flows.
Last updated 2022-02-10 ·Reference W-3437923 ·Reported By 0 users
Summary
Prefixed custom fields cannot be retrieved in formulas defined in flows.
Example: a formula in flow designer using a custom field {!svar_Account.Original_Amount__c} in a flow created with FlowDesigner will fail if the custom field has namespace prefix like Rustom__Original_Amount__c.
- Actual Result:
ErrorId will be displayed
- Expected Result:
The flow’s formula should be able to retrieve the Custom field value without problems as it does when there is no namespace prefix.
Repro
- Ordered steps to reproduce in a fresh org
Create a custom field in Account called Original_Amount, then create a flow with flow designer with a Formula with {!isvar_Account.Original_Amount_c}, save the flow and test that it works.
- Then add a new Package and a namespace prefix:
- Run the flow again and see that you will get an exception
Workaround
If possible, Avoid using namespace prefixes and custom fields in flow formulas until W-3437923 is fixed.
