Difficulty: EasyFlow Resources and Data Manipulation

An administrator needs to build a Flow to update the status on multiple Case records based on user input. To ensure the flow operates efficiently without exceeding Salesforce governor limits, what should the administrator do?

  1. Use an Assignment element inside a Loop to populate a Record Collection Variable, and place a single Update Records element outside the Loop.Answer
  2. B
    Place an Update Records element inside the Loop element to update each Case record immediately during iteration.
  3. C
    Add a Get Records element inside the Loop element to retrieve updated field values before calling an Update Records element.
  4. D
    Invoke a Subflow element inside the Loop element that executes an Update Records operation for each individual record.

Answer

Use an Assignment element inside a Loop to populate a Record Collection Variable, and place a single Update Records element outside the Loop.
The correct approach bulkifies database operations by collecting modified record variables into a Record Collection Variable using an Assignment element inside the loop, and executing a single Update Records element after the loop completes. This pattern consumes only one DML statement regardless of how many records are processed.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Loop through the target records using a Loop element.
Each individual record item is evaluated sequentially.
Iterating allows specific field updates to be set on individual record variables.
2
Use an Assignment element within the loop to set field values and add the record variable to a Record Collection Variable.
The modified record is stored in memory within the collection without performing database queries or updates.
Assigning to collections in memory does not consume Salesforce SOQL or DML governor limits.
3
Place an Update Records element after the loop, passing the Record Collection Variable to be updated.
A single DML database operation updates all modified records in bulk.
Bulkifying data operations ensures the flow operates within Salesforce governor limits regardless of record volume.
