How to avoid hard coded record type id from Validation rule ?

Hi All,

It is not best pratice to use hard coded id value in validation rule or in any formula field logic, because ID value will keep on changing form environment to environment.

if we use hard coded id then it will cause lot of maintenance activity. Here is an example where hard code Id value is being used and how to achieve without using hard code value.


AND( ISBLANK(CustomField__c ), 
RecordTypeId ='0124B0000004aZ4', 
OR(ISPICKVAL(Type, 'New'), 
ISPICKVAL(Type, 'Reserved')), 
NOT($Profile.Name ='Integration Admin'))

 Instead of recordtypeid it is better to use Recordtype.developername.

 AND( ISBLANK(CustomField__c), 
RecordType.DeveloperName ='Marketing_Event', 
OR(ISPICKVAL(Type, 'New'), 
ISPICKVAL(Type, 'Reserved')), 
NOT($Profile.Name ='Integration Admin'))

How to Create a Tooltip in Lightning Datatable ?

Imagine you have a datatable displaying a list of Contact records , and one of the columns shows the Account Name . The Account Name is a hyperlink that allows users to navigate to the Account record page. But what if users want to take a quick glance at some key Account fields —like Phone or Address—without navigating to the Account record?
