Choosing Which Choice Resource to Use in Screen Components
Choice resources display selectable options in flow screens. Choice resources can
appear as radio buttons, checkboxes, or picklist fields. There are several options for choice
resources that you can use, depending on your business need. We recommend using a choice
resource only when you can’t use a record choice set or a picklist choice set.
Record choice sets and picklist choice sets are easier to configure and don’t require as
much maintenance as choices because they're using records and picklists from your org. For
example, if a value is added to a picklist in your org, the flow uses the updated picklist
values without you needing to update the flow.
