Update a custom object from UI

Update a custom object from UI

 

Overview

The main purpose of this functionality come into my mind when we need to update custom object from debug. Instead of doing this manually every time, I thought it would be better approach to provide Quicklinks that can only be accessed by a specific group and they can create/edit existing attribute values in existing custom object.

 

Artifacts

To implement this functionality I used the items below:

1. QuickLink

2. Workflow

3. Form

 

Sample:

The custom configuration name shows all the custom objects that are available in the environment.

 

Adding a new attribute

To add a new attribute to the existing custom object:

1. Specify the attribute Name

2. If it is multi-valued, enable the checkbox, is it Multivalued ?, then values converted into list box where you can add all the values. otherwise you can enter one (String)

3. If you also want to update existing attribute, select custom object and form shows additional attributes as below:

Now you can add/delete from all ready existing values.

 

4. You can add a new attribute with value and update existing value at the same time as follows:

 

When you press update, you will get status message:

 

And you can see the result in custom object

 

 

Please provide your suggestions to make it more useful.
