I used to think formula fields were just for simple math or string concatenation. This month, I realized they’re way more powerful than that.

I built a formula that automatically calculates a next follow-up date based on a custom logic—and it worked across record types without needing automation or flow.

We had an issue where users were associating the wrong type of records in a lookup field. It created a mess. Today I fixed it with a lookup filter—and honestly, I should’ve done it months ago.

With just a few clicks, I restricted the lookup so it only shows valid options based on the record’s status. No code. Just logic.

I just enabled Dynamic Forms for the first time on a custom object and WOW—it’s a huge step up from traditional page layouts.

Now I can control visibility of individual fields, not just sections. I can show/hide fields based on record data, which means the layout actually adapts to the record.

Today I cracked open Debug Logs for the first time. It was intimidating at first—like staring into the Matrix—but I finally figured out how to use them.

I was troubleshooting why a flow wasn’t updating a field. Turns out, a validation rule was firing quietly in the background. I would’ve never known without the debug log.
