57
- ### Action Call In A Loop
58
- Repeatedly invoking Apex actions inside a loop can exhaust governor limits and lead to performance issues. Where possible, bulkify your logic by moving the action call outside the loop and passing a collection variable instead.
59
-
60
- **Rule ID:** `action-call-in-loop`
61
- **Class Name:** _[ActionCallsInLoop](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/ActionCallsInLoop.ts)_
62
- **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
63
-
64
- ### DML Statement In A Loop
65
- Executing DML operations (insert, update, delete) inside a loop is a high-risk anti-pattern that frequently causes governor limit exceptions. All database operations should be collected and executed once, outside the loop.
66
-
67
- **Rule ID:** `dml-in-loop`
68
- **Class Name:** _[DMLStatementInLoop](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/DMLStatementInLoop.ts)_
69
- **Severity:** 🔴 *Error*
70
-
71
- ### Duplicate DML Operation
72
- When a Flow performs database operations across multiple screens, users navigating backward can cause the same actions to run multiple times. To prevent unintended changes, either restrict backward navigation or redesign the Flow so database operations execute in a single, forward-moving step.
73
-
74
- **Rule ID:** `duplicate-dml`
75
- **Class Name:** _[DuplicateDMLOperation](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/DuplicateDMLOperation.ts)_
76
- **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
77
-
78
- ### Excessive Cyclomatic Complexity

94
-
95
- **Rule ID:** `get-record-all-fields`
96
- **Class Name:** _[GetRecordAllFields](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/GetRecordAllFields.ts)_
97
- **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
98
-
99
- ### Hardcoded Id
100
- Avoid hard-coding record IDs, as they are unique to a specific org and will not work in other environments. Instead, store IDs in variables—such as merge-field URL parameters or a **Get Records** element—to make the Flow portable, maintainable, and flexible.
101
-
102
- **Rule ID:** `hardcoded-id`
103
- **Class Name:** _[HardcodedId](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/HardcodedId.ts)_
104

170
- Record-triggered Flows without a specified Trigger Order may execute in an unpredictable sequence. Setting a Trigger Order ensures your Flows run in the intended order.
171
-
172
- **Rule ID:** `unspecified-trigger-order`
173
- **Class Name:** _[TriggerOrder](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/TriggerOrder.ts)_
174
- **Severity:** 🔵 *Note*
175
-
176
- ### Process Builder
177
- Process Builder is retired. Continuing to use it increases maintenance overhead and risks future compatibility issues. Migrating automation to Flow reduces risk and improves maintainability.
178
-
179
- **Rule ID:** `process-builder-usage`
180
- **Class Name:** _[ProcessBuilder](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/ProcessBuilder.ts)_
181
- **Severity:** 🔴 *Error*
182
-
183
- ### Record ID as String ![Beta](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-beta-yellow)
184
- Flows that use a String variable for a record ID instead of receiving the full record introduce unnecessary complexity and additional Get Records queries. Using the complete record simplifies the Flow and improves performance.
185
-
186
- **Rule ID:** `record-id-as-string`
187
- **Class Name:** _[RecordIdAsString](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/RecordIdAsString.ts)_
188
- **Severity:** 🔵 *Note*
189
-
190
- ### Recursive After Update
191
- After-save Flows that update the same record can trigger recursion, causing unintended behavior or performance issues. Avoid updating the triggering record in after-save Flows; use before-save Flows instead to prevent recursion.
192
-
193
- **Rule ID:** `recursive-record-update`
194
- **Class Name:** _[RecursiveAfterUpdate](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/RecursiveAfterUpdate.ts)_
195
- **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
196
-
197

+ ### Missing Metadata Description ![Beta](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-beta-yellow)
156
+ Elements and metadata without a description reduce clarity and maintainability. Adding descriptions improves readability and makes your automation easier to understand.
157
+
158
+ **Rule ID:** `missing-metadata-description`
159
+ **Class Name:** _[MissingMetadataDescription](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/MissingMetadataDescription.ts)_
160
+ **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
161
+
162
+ ### Missing Null Handler
163
+ Get Records operations return null when no data is found. Without handling these null values, Flows can fail or produce unintended results. Adding a null check improves reliability and ensures the Flow behaves as expected.
164
+
165
+ **Rule ID:** `missing-null-handler`
166
+ **Class Name:** _[MissingNullHandler](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/MissingNullHandler.ts)_
167
+ **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
168
+
169
+ ### Missing Trigger Order
170
+ Record-triggered Flows without a specified Trigger Order may execute in an unpredictable sequence. Setting a Trigger Order ensures your Flows run in the intended order.
171
+
172
+ **Rule ID:** `unspecified-trigger-order`
173
+ **Class Name:** _[TriggerOrder](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/TriggerOrder.ts)_
174
+ **Severity:** 🔵 *Note*
175
+
176
+ ### Process Builder
177
+ Process Builder is retired. Continuing to use it increases maintenance overhead and risks future compatibility issues. Migrating automation to Flow reduces risk and improves maintainability.
178
+
179
+ **Rule ID:** `process-builder-usage`
180
+ **Class Name:** _[ProcessBuilder](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/ProcessBuilder.ts)_
181
+ **Severity:** 🔴 *Error*
182
+
183
+ ### Record ID as String ![Beta](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-beta-yellow)
184
+ Flows that use a String variable for a record ID instead of receiving the full record introduce unnecessary complexity and additional Get Records queries. Using the complete record simplifies the Flow and improves performance.
185
+
186
+ **Rule ID:** `record-id-as-string`
187
+ **Class Name:** _[RecordIdAsString](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/RecordIdAsString.ts)_
188
+ **Severity:** 🔵 *Note*
189
+
190
+ ### Recursive After Update
191
+ After-save Flows that update the same record can trigger recursion, causing unintended behavior or performance issues. Avoid updating the triggering record in after-save Flows; use before-save Flows instead to prevent recursion.
192
+
193
+ **Rule ID:** `recursive-record-update`
194
+ **Class Name:** _[RecursiveAfterUpdate](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/RecursiveAfterUpdate.ts)_
195
+ **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
196
+
197
+ ### Same Record Field Updates
198
+ Before-save Flows can safely update the triggering record directly via $Record, applying changes efficiently without extra DML operations. Using before-save updates improves performance
199
+
200
+ **Rule ID:** `same-record-field-updates`
201
+ **Class Name:** _[SameRecordFieldUpdates](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/SameRecordFieldUpdates.ts)_
202
+ **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
203
+
204
+ ### SOQL Query In A Loop
205
+ Running SOQL queries inside a loop can rapidly exceed query limits and severely degrade performance. Queries should be executed once, with results reused throughout the loop.
206
+
207
+ **Rule ID:** `soql-in-loop`
208
+ **Class Name:** _[SOQLQueryInLoop](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/SOQLQueryInLoop.ts)_
209
+ **Severity:** 🔴 *Error*
210
+
211
+ ### Transform Instead of Loop ![Beta](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-beta-yellow)
212
+ Loop elements that perform direct Assignments on each item can slow down Flows. Using Transform elements allows bulk operations on collections, improving performance and reducing complexity.
213
+
214
+ **Rule ID:** `transform-instead-of-loop`
215
+ **Class Name:** _[TransformInsteadOfLoop](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/TransformInsteadOfLoop.ts)_
216
+ **Severity:** 🔵 *Note*
217
+
218
+ ### Unclear API Name
219
+ Elements with unclear or duplicated API names, like Copy_X_Of_Element, reduce Flow readability. Make sure to update the API name when copying elements to keep your Flow organized.
220
+
221
+ **Rule ID:** `unclear-api-naming`
222
+ **Class Name:** _[CopyAPIName](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/CopyAPIName.ts)_
223
+ **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
224
+
225
+ ### Unreachable Element
226
+ Unconnected elements never execute and add unnecessary clutter. Remove or connect unused Flow elements to keep Flows clean and efficient.
227
+
228
+ **Rule ID:** `unreachable-element`
229
+ **Class Name:** _[UnconnectedElement](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/UnconnectedElement.ts)_
230
+ **Severity:** 🟡 *Warning*
231
+
232
+ ### Unsafe Running Context
233
+ Flows configured to run in System Mode without Sharing grant access to all data, bypassing user permissions. Avoid this setting to prevent security risks and protect sensitive data.
234
+
235
+ **Rule ID:** `unsafe-running-context`
236
+ **Class Name:** _[UnsafeRunningContext](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/UnsafeRunningContext.ts)_
237
+ **Severity:** 🔴 *Error*
238
+
239
+ ### Unused Variable
240
+ Unused variables are never referenced and add unnecessary clutter. Remove them to keep Flows efficient and easy to maintain.
241
+
242
+ **Rule ID:** `unused-variable`
243
+ **Class Name:** _[UnusedVariable](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner/blob/main/packages/core/src/main/rules/UnusedVariable.ts)_
