      Account (lookup) through picklist on Flow Designer

      Posted by Nitish on April 30, 2016 at 6:18 PM

      I have a flow designer and it's based off of a custom object with has an account associated to it. However, I cannot figure out how to select the account through the drop down list.

      Whenever, I select account as a dropdown list, my choices are never the account.

      Object: Account Field: is all of the picklist fields on the object.

      Is there a way I can pick an account within this flow?

      Try this link

      http://www.jitendrazaa.com/blog/salesforce/creating-lookup-field-in-flow/

      However, because the picklist was so small for me, I was able to spoof it by creating two variables: one for the account ID and one for the account name

      Then I created dynamic search results based on "NOT EQUAL TO: asdfasdfsafdds" which gave me all of the results. Added "Name" to choice label and ID to choice stored value. Then assigned the record fields to variables where ID = accountIDVar, and Name = AccountNameVar.

      On my create record step, I simply assigned the var's
