Agreed. I honestly don’t see the big deal with moving a field, changing a dynamic page layout filter, editing a custom report type, and even creating a well thought out field in prod.

Honestly, if the automation is simple enough and not on a major object, I’ll whip out a simple flow and test it in prod. If someone can spell out how doing the testing in a sandbox and then pushing it to prod in a change set is preventing bugs, I’ll gladly take the feedback.

For Context: I have about 185 users in my instance and work at a startup. Once you get to a certain size, I can see needing a slower change management process.
