Overview

KB_Picklist is a reusable Lightning Web Component (LWC) designed specifically for Salesforce Screen Flows. It provides a flexible way to display picklist values dynamically, taking into account Record Types, dependent picklists, record collections, and Flow-driven logic.

Unlike standard Flow picklists, KB_Picklist can automatically retrieve the values available for a specific field, restrict them based on Record Type, generate options from a collection of records, and even support dependent picklist relationships without requiring Apex.

The component was created to fill a gap in Salesforce Flow functionality, providing administrators with a powerful yet declarative solution for working with picklist fields.

Key Features

Record Type Aware Picklists

Display only the values available for a specific Record Type.

Examples:

• Opportunity Stage based on Opportunity Record Type
• Case Status based on Case Record Type
• Custom picklists with Record Type restrictions

Standard Picklist Mode

When only Object API Name and Field API Name are provided, the component behaves like a standard picklist and displays all available values for the field.

Record-Based Mode

Provide a Record Id or Record Variable and KB_Picklist automatically:

• Determines the Record Type
• Retrieves valid picklist values
• Loads the current field value

Record Type Override Mode

Provide a Record Type Id directly from Flow and the component will display values available for that specific Record Type.

Collection Source Mode

Generate picklist values directly from a collection of records.

Example:

If a collection contains records with:

• Construction
• Education
• Energy

the component will automatically generate those options without needing metadata from the field.

Collection Filter Mode

Display only values that:

• Exist within a record collection
• Are valid for the current Record Type

This is particularly useful when building Flow-based search screens and dashboards.

Dependent Picklist Support

Support Salesforce dependent picklists without Apex.

Example:

Controlling Field:

• Industry

Dependent Field:

• Industry Subcategory

When the controlling value changes, the component automatically updates available options.

Default Value Support

Pre-select values using Flow variables.

Optional “None” Selection

Allow users to explicitly clear a value by adding a configurable “None” option.

Manual Refresh

Administrators can optionally display a refresh button that reloads available values.

Configuration

Required Inputs

Object API Name

The API name of the object containing the picklist field.

Example:

Account
Opportunity
Case
Custom_Object__c

Picklist Field API Name

The API name of the picklist field.

Example:

Industry
StageName
Status
Custom_Field__c

Input Properties

Label

Label displayed above the picklist.

Default:

Select value

Placeholder

Placeholder text shown when no value is selected.

Default:

Select an option

Record Id

Optional.

When supplied, the component uses the record to determine:

• Record Type
• Current field value

Record Variable

Optional. Alternative to Record Id. Allows the component to use a Flow record variable directly.

Record Type Id Override

Optional.

Forces the component to display values for a specific Record Type.

Useful when the Record Type has already been determined elsewhere in the Flow.

Default Value

Pre-selects a value.

This can also be used to retain selections when navigating backwards in a Screen Flow.

Example:

selectedValue
↓
Flow Variable
↓
inputCurrentValue

Required

Makes selection mandatory.

Required Message

Custom validation message displayed when no value is selected.

Default:

Please select a value.

Disabled

Makes the component read-only.

Refresh Values When Screen Renders

Reloads values whenever the screen is rendered. Useful when Record Types or controlling values may change during the Flow.

Clear Value If No Longer Available

Automatically clears a selected value when it becomes invalid.

Example:

• Record Type changes
• Dependent picklist controlling value changes

Include None Option

Adds a blank option to the top of the list.

None Label

Custom label for the blank option.

Default:

-- None --

Show Status

Displays the number of available values loaded – good for debugging on the screen.

Example:

8 values loaded.

Show Refresh Button

Displays a button allowing the user to refresh values manually.

Refresh Button Label

Custom label for the refresh button.

Default:

Refresh values

Collection Mode

Filter Values By Record Collection

Displays only values that exist within the supplied collection.

Example:

Record Type allows:

Construction
Education
Energy
Healthcare

Collection contains:

Construction
Education

Result:

Construction Education

Use Record Collection As Source

Builds options directly from values found in the collection – required TRUE, if collection should be the main controller of the displayed values.

Example:

Collection contains:

Construction
Education
Energy
Apparel

Result:

Apparel
Construction
Education
Energy

Dependent Picklist Support

Controlling Field API Name

The API name of the controlling field.

Example:

Industry
Type
Region__c

Controlling Field Value

Current value of the controlling field.

Typically provided by another KB_Picklist component or a field inside a passed recordId.

Example:

Selected Industry
↓
Controlling Field Value

Clear Value When Controlling Value Changes

Automatically clears the dependent picklist selection when the controlling value changes.

Outputs

Selected Value

Returns the API value selected by the user.

Example:

Construction

Selected Label

Returns the displayed label.

Example:

Construction

Available Values JSON

Returns all currently available values as JSON.

Example:

[
  {
    "label": "Construction",
    "value": "Construction"
  },
  {
    "label": "Education",
    "value": "Education"
  }
]

Success

Returns:

true

when values load successfully.

Error Message

Returns any error encountered while loading values.
