Record display requirement

The step itself does not navigate to the record, so you will need the system to navigate to the specific record during the execution of a test, so that the designated step will be performed when the record is displayed on Salesforce. To learn more, see Find and display a specific Salesforce record during test execution.

To add an Edit step:

1. In your test, add a step before the Edit step that will navigate to the desired record. To learn more, see Find and display a specific Salesforce record during test execution.

2. Add a step by clicking the + button.

3. Under the Salesforce steps tab, click Record Operations and select the Edit step.

   5. Ignore - this action performs no action on the field. The action does not require entering a value.
   6. Reset - resets the value in the field to a "no entry" state. Note that if the field is empty, it will try to enter an empty string to the field, however if you select the Reset option, it will not try to enter an empty string.
      Under Value, enter the value of the field. If the field is a "pick list" (drop down menu), select the relevant option.

   T. Text mode. The value is treated as a literal string.
