Difficulty: EasyFlow Resources and Data Manipulation

An administrator is configuring a flow to update the status of multiple Lead records. Which design pattern should the administrator use to perform the record updates while adhering to Salesforce governor limit best practices?

  1. Use an Assignment element inside the loop to add modified records to a record collection variable, then execute a single Update Records element outside the loop.Answer
  2. B
    Place an Update Records element inside the loop directly after field values are updated on the single record variable.
  3. C
    Place a Get Records element inside the loop to fetch each Lead record, followed immediately by an Update Records element inside the loop.
  4. D
    Add a Decision element inside the loop to execute an individual Update Records element for each conditional path.

Answer

Use an Assignment element inside the loop to add modified records to a record collection variable, then execute a single Update Records element outside the loop.
The correct approach is to accumulate modified record variables into a record collection variable using an Assignment element inside the loop, then pass that entire collection to a single Update Records element after the loop completes. This pattern ensures bulkification and adheres strictly to Salesforce governor limits.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the data manipulation requirements in a Flow loop.
Multiple Lead records need to be updated during iteration.
Iterating over a collection allows modifying record field values standardly across items.
2
Stage record changes into a collection variable inside the loop.
Use an Assignment element to add the current loop item (or updated record variable) to a record collection variable.
Assigning records to a collection retains changes in memory without invoking a database call.
3
Execute database updates outside the loop.
Connect the loop's 'After Last Item' path to a single Update Records element that passes the record collection variable.
Bulkifying DML statements outside the loop ensures the flow uses only 1 DML operation regardless of how many records are processed.
