Summary
In the Process Builder Formula, Users can experience performance issues when trying to select a Global System Variable if the list has many items.
For example, if you have a large number of Custom Labels, when you try to select the $Label under System Variables, you may experience a really long lag. Sometimes the page is frozen and will not respond and sometimes it just takes an exorbitant amount of time to load.
Repro
Create a new Process under Setup | Create | Process Builder
For "Immediate Action", select "Update Records": Choose the record object and for the Criteria:
- Fields: select any one
- Type: Formula
- Value: click on System Variables to add a custom label
You should see that it took a super long time to load the list.
Workaround
None at this time. You could use Apex code to workaround and achieve the same functionality, but there is no workaround to using Process Builder at this time.
