“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
You can’t inline edit checkbox fields in Salesforce opportunity product reports because the platform restricts inline editing for boolean fields on related objects like Opportunity Products.
This limitation exists regardless of your field permissions or page layout settings. Here’s how to work around this restriction and edit your checkbox fields efficiently.
Edit opportunity product checkbox fields using Coefficient
Since Salesforce won’t let you edit these fields directly in reports, you can import your opportunity product data into Google Sheets where checkbox editing has no restrictions. You can then push your changes back to Salesforce automatically.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import your opportunity product data to Google Sheets.
Open Coefficient in Google Sheets and select “Import from Salesforce.” Choose “From Objects & Fields” and select the Opportunity Product object. Include all the checkbox fields you need to edit, plus the Opportunity Product ID for updating records later.
Step 2. Edit checkbox values in Google Sheets.
In your spreadsheet, you can freely modify checkbox values using TRUE/FALSE entries, dropdown validation, or bulk find-and-replace operations. Google Sheets doesn’t have the same restrictions as Salesforce reports, so you can edit hundreds of records at once.
Step 3. Export changes back to Salesforce.
Use Coefficient’s scheduled export feature to push your updated checkbox values back to Salesforce using UPDATE operations. The system uses the Opportunity Product ID to match records and update only the fields you’ve changed.
Step 4. Set up automated syncing.
Configure scheduled exports to run hourly, daily, or weekly. This creates an ongoing workflow where you can edit checkbox fields in Google Sheets and have changes automatically sync back to Salesforce without manual intervention.
