Показать описание

We have been waiting for Filtered Related Lists in Salesforce forever, well in Spring '22 we now have Dynamic Lists. There are some good things about them, but some absolute shockers also. Hiding Data, Using seemingly deprecated setup, slow to set up, lots of gas-lightning, and more.
The video is quite long, but hopefully it covers off everything you need to know.

Thanks so much for the video, you answered my question straight away about the rediculous inability to view all. How SFDC call this a true related list baffles me.

Thanks Jodie. Great overview and index. Gas-lightning-ed. Ha!

Sort of get the impression dynamic lists were set up by the work experience intern just so they had something which meant they could mark it as delivered...

There's aways a catch unfortunately... On a separate note, just wanted to say thank you for all you do for the community! Very much appreciated!

Wow, that is very unfortunate! I had high hopes for that feature. Thank you for the heads up!

Thanks for taking the time to create this detailed and revealing and video. I just noticed the missing "view all" link and was very puzzled. It is a huge oversight and from my point of view it renders the dynamic list unusable! I did a google search for "dynamic list missing view all" and there we absolutely no results that addressed such a problem. I saw your title and figured that you must be including the missing "view all" and sure enough, you did. I have to wonder, does SF have any quality control at all? I have to go back and change all the related lists back to standard ones. What a pain!

Why not create a link button, linking to the full report and added as an action button on the dynamic list?

That's a real pity about the dynamic lists, I had a lot of hope they would be the answer to numerous scenarios I have but if you can't see the entire list or even what the filter is then it's almost redundant. You can never assume there will never be more than 30 related records either. Existing list views already have too many niggles that need addressing really, multiple sort columns, Conditional edit/read on individual columns etc, . They should get the professionals out here to design the features then they can build them...
