FLS – Field Level Security (visible, editable, hidden)

PageMessages & Testing
Recently I experienced some problems trying to test the page messages that were being added to a Visualforce page by subsequent controller calls. As this behaviour is a bit specific, I will try to explain how it works with examples. Continue reading “PageMessages & Testing”
