Salesforce Winter '27 Flow: visibility and Decision splits

Use reactive formulas for same-screen visibility and route records with Split by Date or Split by Field Value in Salesforce Winter '27 Flow.

Salesforce Winter '27 Flow supports reactive visibility

Screen conditional visibility rules can now reference reactive formulas, including formulas that use components on the same screen. A component can show or hide as the user types, based on the formula’s result. Previously, conditional visibility could not reference same-screen formulas.

**Suggested check:** Test visibility transitions in both directions, including a return to an earlier input value. For each input, compare the expected component visibility with the observed result.

Route records with Decision splits

The Decision element gains **Split by Date** and **Split by Field Value**. These types route records using a chosen field or the current date, so common branches no longer need handwritten formulas or expressions.

In Flow Builder, add a **Decision** element, select either split type, and define paths and values with the inline pickers.

**Suggested checks:**

  • Exercise representative field values for each configured path.
  • For date boundaries, test cases before, on, and after the relevant boundary.
  • Before replacing existing logic, compare its routing results with the proposed split. Check both against the intended business rule.
