What it requires. Flows must not contain hardcoded Salesforce record IDs for Record Types, Queues, Owners, Groups, or any other org-specific records.
Why it matters. Record IDs differ between environments (Dev, QA, UAT, Production). Hardcoded IDs cause flows to fail silently or throw errors when deployed across environments. They are invisible to reviewers scanning for environment-specific dependencies.
How to fix it. Replace hardcoded IDs with a Get Records lookup using the DeveloperName field on the relevant setup object (RecordType, Group, etc.), or store the developer name in Custom Metadata and retrieve it at runtime.
