FLOW_GetPicklistValues

Class · Group: Utilities

global inherited sharing class FLOW_GetPicklistValues

Invocable method to get all the picklist values for a particular object for a given record type. Delegates to UTIL_SObjectDescribe for ConnectApi retrieval and transformation. Caches responses in org cache to reduce repeated ConnectApi calls for the same requests.

Example

FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Request request = new FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Request();
request.objectApiName = 'Contact';
request.recordTypeApiName = 'Customer_Contact';
List<FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Response> responses = FLOW_GetPicklistValues.getPickListValues(new List<FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Request> {request});
List<DTO_PickList> pickLists = responses[0].pickLists;

getPickListValues

@InvocableMethod(category='Utilities' description='Returns the available picklist values for a specified object and record type. Use to dynamically populate choice lists or validate picklist selections in a Flow.' label='Get PickList Values') global static List<FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Response> getPickListValues(List<FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Request> dtoRequests)

Retrieves the picklist values for an SObject and record type combination. Checks the org cache for stored values first and only calls ConnectApi if the values are not cached.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description

Returns FLOW_GetPicklistValues.DTO_Response — A list of responses (only will ever contain 1 item)

Example

List<DTO_Request> dtoRequests = new List<DTO_Request>();
DTO_Request request = new DTO_Request();
request.objectApiName = 'Contact';
request.recordTypeApiName = 'Customer_Contact';
dtoRequests.add(request);
List<DTO_Response> responses = FLOW_GetPicklistValues.getPickListValues(dtoRequests);
