C. Additional twist for Salesforce Flow Builder experts:

• ... you want to try a new feature in Flow:

  • Custom Error Message in Before Save Flow

    • with the same error message on the same field as in the Validation Rule

So:

1. Dectivate the Validation Rule

2. Manually test that Russia can be saved to Billing Country

3. Create and activate the Flow

4. Manually test that Russia cannot be saved to Billing Country

5. Run the Test Case in testRigor

   1. Test Case passes as the feature is the same - only the implementation was changed

      1. no need to modify the Test Case!
