We thought the Winter ‘27 news was all done and dusted, but that’s not the case, and unfortunately it’s not good news. Salesforce has removed Flow Tags from the Winter ‘27 release.
The company claims that the feature was not quite ready yet, and has decided it was better to remove it entirely than to release it half-baked.
Release Note Changes
I raised earlier in this release cycle that the release notes were changing slightly, and that changes in the release notes were visible in monthly chronological order. This included edits, additions, and deletions to the release.
One such deletion occurred in the week of September 14, and that was the ability to classify flows with Flow Tags. This feature allowed builders to tag flows with Tags, and group those Tags into Tag Categories.
Why Are Flow Tags Gone?
Salesforce provided a simple explanation: This feature isn’t quite ready yet, so we removed it for now. That’s it – gone with barely a trace. Salesforce didn’t provide any further details on why it wasn’t ready, or when it might be ready.
Personally, I did experience a single issue with Flow Tags in my time testing it in my preview org. When I was trying to add a Flow Tag to a Flow, it wouldn’t appear to be selected straight away until after I saved and reopened the save modal. I’d show you what I mean, but unfortunately I can’t replicate it now that the feature is gone.
Can We Expect a Return Soon?
Unfortunately, Salesforce has not provided much more information on the status of Flow Tags, nor when we might see them return. I would posit that it’s likely something that we’ll see return in Spring ’27, but that’s just hopeful speculation.
I guess you’ll have to stick around, subscribe to our newsletter, and ensure you’re kept in the loop when we cover the Spring ’27 release in detail.
Summary
This is why Salesforce always instructs you to make your purchasing decisions based on the features that are currently available, and not on those that are in development or coming soon.
It is unfortunate, but Salesforce is well within its rights to remove promising features that it doesn’t believe are ready for prime time.
