  • Read-Only Field Restrictions for Flow Record Processing
    Fields the running user can't edit are inaccessible to the flow during record creation and updates. This happens when the user lacks field-level permissions or when the field is a system field.
  • Control What Happens When a Flow Tries to Set Values for Read-Only Fields
    When a flow tries to perform an action, such as create or update records, it uses a flow request to set values for specific fields. But what happens if the running user doesn’t have edit access to all those fields? When you use a record variable or record collection variable in Create Records and Update Records elements, that’s up to you. To control the behavior, select or deselect the Filter inaccessible fields from flow requests preference.
  • Fix Read-Only Field Errors in Flow
    Troubleshoot flows that try to update fields that the running user doesn't have edit permissions for.
