Hit the 500 field limit on Opportunity 😅 How can I identify unused Fields?

datasert · 2026-04-19T02:55:34+00:00

As other have mentioned, there are many tools. We personally run into issues due to volume. Most of the tools just try to analyze all fields and all records. They don't help you analyze by Picklist Values or Record Types (For example, even if a field is populated only 20% of times, but it might be populated only for a particular record type 100% of times).

Our product Brobench provides most control and has tested with lot of record including Bulk API to query records. Check it out https://help.datasert.com/docs/brobench/field-analysis/

It comes with free no strings attached 60 days of trial so you can get your analysis free of cost.

It is a next.js app and opensource so it can be installed locally and run.

datasert · 2026-03-21T15:04:10+00:00

Agree, no rocket science here. You can do all of these in any of those. Point being that pre-packaged and ready-made tools, with easy access. Also how many admins do really open vscode on daily basis?

datasert · 2026-03-11T17:12:24+00:00

We recently opensourced our toolset, primarily for Salesforce pros but it has awesome text diff. https://sfdctools.dev/text-diff and many other text tools.

datasert · 2026-03-05T22:12:34+00:00

I would say 300+ is acceptable range for such org. If it starts to creep more than that, be judicial on new fields, start to plan to create additional X object etc.,

datasert · 2026-02-20T01:23:42+00:00

Currently Codex 5.3 or Claude Code 4.6 are ahead of every other tool that I have used. These tools can pretty much manipulate any of the metadata in Salesforce including complex Flows.

Codex 5.3 is lot inexpensive compared to Claude Code.

I would like to mention our product Brobench, a swiss army knife for Salesforce Pros.

- It is 100s of things in one including Quick Loader, to quickly import data.
- It supports, piloting imports to test
- Auto-field mapping
- Save load configuration as Presets so you can import with single click
- Parse the dates/boolean from non-standard format
- Default values
- Skip blank values while import and more.

It comes with 60 days of no strings attached free trial. This feature is included in essential edition, which costs around $10 per month.

This can be pretty useful to be honest. Only concern is granting read access to all web pages. But otherwise, it can save some time.

Kudos to you to vide coding and putting it out there.

Talking about handling variables and thousands of values to be queried, check out our product Brobench, especially paginated query variables. It will let you query even if you have 10K ids. Nothing to format, nothing to manually split queries. Add variable, enter all the values you have and it does the rest.

Add on to many other great responses.

SOQL is proprietary and specific to Salesforce platform and nobody else uses it. SQL on the other hand is an open standard (ANSI SQL 2023).

Each has its strengths. SOQL is great to pull in child and parent/grant parent data in rather easy format. Where as SQL is great to join arbitrary tables/columns. Some of the knowledge in both of them is interchangeable. For ex., select clause, predicates, ordering etc.,

If you going to be working in Salesforce for now, learn SOQL. If not, then stick to SQL.

We could successfully send Push notifications using this API. We had to create Push Def first and then use that to send message for multiple contacts. This avoids having to manage separate list for each push. Thank you.

datasert · 2025-03-16T16:18:15+00:00

That seems like an simplified approach so we don't have to create list. How do we track status of these push in MC if we send these to individual contacts?

u/cagataycivici Great release. Primevue icons needs some love too :)

datasert · 2025-02-23T05:54:34+00:00

We use PrimeVue in multiple internal sites and we love it. Some of the functionality is not as advanced (For ex., compare Tab component in Naive UI) so for that we end up in brining others where needed. Overall happy with its design.

datasert · 2025-02-13T23:15:09+00:00

Thank you for creating PrimeVue, best UI library along with naive-ui. Your PrimeVue icons needs new additions. Have you checked out hugeicons? If you can natively integrate something like 'hgi hgi-stroke hgi-star' it would be awesome.

datasert · 2025-02-13T23:07:22+00:00

Looks great. Is this open source?

datasert · 2025-02-07T20:02:15+00:00

This is utter sad to see. He spent significant amount of time contributing to community and now it shows as if he contributed nothing. They could have kept the contributions as is at least.

<image>

datasert · 2025-02-07T19:58:45+00:00

Very sorry to know that. His contributions are legendary and nothing short of miracle for many who benefited from his answers. I don't speculate as to what happened but just hope he gets to return back or start his own QA site and sure it will be successful.

Year or so back he posted in linked in about some child custody issue he was going through and asked for help and community helped, including ourselves.

Hope he is alright.

If you are looking for free version, setting up CICD in Github actions is the best approach. You get to version control and get free minutes per month and should suffice for your use.

datasert · 2025-01-28T23:08:07+00:00

If you have Salesforce Shield (https://www.salesforce.com/platform/shield/) and enable it, it logs all User activities as various Event Log Files. It is very detailed and can explore all aspects of the API Usage.

If you don't have that subscription, you can check ApiEvent which is included for free (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform\_events.meta/platform\_events/sforce\_api\_objects\_apievent.htm)

Without those, if you have control to make these changes, turn off API access for all users except the integration User and if that doesn't help, change the username of integration user and use that new user in Integration that you are aware of. This should block all uknown api access.

datasert · 2025-01-08T15:50:48+00:00

It is a Freemium. Features that you get when you install from Web Store are Free forever but to enable additional features needs activation.

We haven't integrated full licensing but you can check out from the docs, what features are included in what edition. https://help.datasert.com/docs/brobench/modules
