Custom Rule Messages Feature

When specified, the custom message and url replaces the default rule description and documentation reference in scan results.

Example configuration:

{
  "rules": {
    "dml-in-loop": {
      "message": "Avoid DML inside loops. Bulkify operations instead.",
      "messageUrl": "https://internal.docs.company.com/salesforce/flow-dml-best-practices"
    }
  }
}

Improved default severities

We’ve also updated the default severity levels and descriptions for several rules to better reflect their impact and help prioritize:

• ActionCallsInLoop → now Warning (was Error)
• ProcessBuilder → now Error (was Warning)
• MissingMetadataDescription → now Warning (was Error)
• RecordIdAsString → now Warning (was Error)
