The behavior of territory assignments on Opportunity records when a territory is selected manually versus when it is assigned through a Flow. In both scenarios, the child territory is displayed on the record, while the Sharing option shows the parent territory.
Scenario 1 – Manual Territory Selection
When a territory is manually assigned on the Opportunity record, Salesforce categorizes this as manual sharing. The assigned child territory (e.g., child territory record) is visible on the record itself. However, under the Sharing option, the parent territory (e.g., parent territory record) is displayed.
Scenario 2 – Flow-Based Territory Assignment
When the territory value is updated automatically via a Flow, Salesforce still categorizes this as manual sharing. On the Opportunity record, the assigned child territory (e.g., child territory record)) is displayed, while the Sharing option again shows the parent territory (e.g., parent territory record).
