Deprecated and New features in Spring 19

Deprecated Default Values Without Square Brackets for Array, Set, and List Attributes

Setting a default value without square brackets is deprecated and can lead to unexpected behavior. To set a default value for these attribute types, surround comma-separated values with []; for example, default="['red', 'green', 'blue']".
Where: This change applies to orgs with Lightning components in Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic, and all versions of the Salesforce app.
How: Here’s an example of attributes for an array, a list, and a set.
<aura:attribute name="colorArray" type="String[]" default="['red', 'green', 'blue']" />
<aura:attribute name="colorList" type="List" default="['red', 'green', 'blue']" />
<aura:attribute name="colorSet" type="Set" default="['red', 'green', 'blue']" />

Get Notified About Unsaved Changes






Notify the UI about unsaved changes in your component with the lightning:unsavedChanges Aura component. You can uselightning:unsavedChanges in standard and console navigation apps. You can then use a controller to save or discard the changes.



Where: This change applies to orgs with Lightning components in Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic, and all versions of the Salesforce app.






Reference Asset Files with the $ContentAsset Global Value Provider






The $ContentAsset global value provider lets you reference images, style sheets, and JavaScript used as asset files in your Lightning components. Reference $ContentAsset asset files by name instead of using cumbersome file paths or URLs. $ContentAsset provides sharing, versioning, and access control for all asset files, as well as options for mobile optimization and resizing of image files. You can use $ContentAsset in Lightning components markup and within JavaScript controller and helper code.



Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions.



How: To reference a specific asset file in component markup, use $ContentAsset.yourNamespace__assetName. Orgs without a namespace can use $ContentAsset.assetDeveloperName. Use this syntax regardless of whether an asset is for authenticated or unauthenticated sessions. To reference a content asset within an archive, add pathinarchive as a parameter appended to the basic syntax: $ContentAsset.yourNamespace__assetName + 'pathinarchive=images/sampleImage.jpg'.



Include cascading style sheets or JavaScript libraries in a component using the <ltng:require> tag.















The $ContentAsset global value provider doesn’t support versions or scaling parameters. Only the latest version of the asset file is served, and only the original size of the image is returned.

  Make Invocable Actions Easier to Configure with New InvocableVariable Modifiers Simplify the configuration of invocable actions using new modifiers from Salesforce. Both the defaultValue and placeholderText modifiers will appear in Flow Builder for the Action elements that correspond to an invocable method. Here’s how to use them. defaultValue Modifier : Set a default value for an input parameter. When the action is used, the input parameter will have a predefined value unless changed by the user. placeholderText Modifier : Set custom placeholder text for an input parameter. Text can provide examples or additional guidance to help users understand what to enter in the input field. Accessing these modifiers in Flow Builder makes it easier to configure and use the actions within your flows. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Performance, Unlimited, Developer, Enterprise, and Database.com editions.

Salesforce Architect Certification Maintenance (Winter '25)

  Update Records Using ISO State and Country Codes Standardize and simplify updating address records with two new fields that store the ISO code for country or territory and state or province. Improve data quality and accuracy using this new support for ISO codes, and reduce the risk of errors and inconsistencies that can occur when using names. Previously, the Address component stored only the name associated with the user’s selection. With this new support for ISO codes, you can update the country or territory and state or province fields on records with ISO codes instead of names. This feature can be used for new or existing screen flows. Here are the steps to create a new flow. In Setup, on the State and Country/Territory Picklists page, ensure that Enable Picklists for Address Fields is enabled. In Flow Builder, create a screen flow. Add a Screen element to the flow. Include an Address component in the Screen element. Optionally, specify a default value in the Country Code and...
