Error overview
You may run into this Salesforce validation error when deploying a new or changed FlexiPage (Lightning page) metadata type.
An example of the error would look as below:
"<xxx> isn't a valid value for Conditional Formatting"
<xxx> in this context is referring to new changes made to the FlexiPage, and specifically PolicyCurrency1 value.
Explanation of the error
When using API version 62 for your validation in Gearset, Salesforce is likely to store the component(s) that failed the validation under UI format specification set metadata type (this type was introduced with the release of API v 62).
Resolution
If the components that failed the validation (e.g. PolicyCurrency1 in our example) are new in the source and don't exist in the target org, try the following:
Workaround 1
Deploy both
FlexiPageandUI format specification setmetadata components containing your formatting ruleset - as part of the same deployment.
Note: This resolution should work. However, if for any reason it doesn't, please try below workaround.
Workaround 2
First, deploy the
UI format specification setmetadata components referenced in your FlexiPage's XML and in the error message.Once done, deploy the
FlexiPageitself as part of a separate deployment.
