Solutions and When a Record is Selected don’t get along

Fellow MVP – Antti Pajunen – raised this question the other day. Even though I had heard some conversations about the limitation, I hadn’t seen anyone validate it and blog it.

You can’t currently include Flow’s equivalent to an on-demand workflow in a CDS solution.

This is what I did to confirm the experience.

1. Created a simple trigger/action flow for When a record is selected.

2. Included the Flow in a Solution

3. See if it is present in the UI? Nope!

The solution is to create the When a record is selected flow and then manually move it to your production environment using Export/Import.
