How Do Salesforce Field and Object Edits Affect My Formula Models?

When you update fields or objects in Salesforce, those changes may affect your formula models. Find out how additions, renames, deletions, and data type changes are handled in your formula views.

Field data type changes

When you change a field’s data type in Salesforce, your formula views automatically reflect the new data type.

Field additions, renames, and deletions

Your formula views incorporate new or renamed fields the next time they build if all of the following conditions are true:

• The connection’s authorizing user has access to the field.
• The table containing the field is included in your connection schema.
• For non-formula fields, the column is also included in your connection schema.

Old field names and deleted columns are removed from your formula views.

Object additions, renames, and drops

New or renamed objects appear in your formula views if both of the following conditions are true:

• The authorizing user has access to the object.
• The object (table) is included in your connection schema.

When you rename or drop a Salesforce object, we don’t build formula views for the old name or dropped table.
