v4.11.1 - Added the Ability to Throw Fault Exception in Flow Actions

[jongpie]

A huge thank you to @JMercie for working on this release, and congratulations on their first-ever open source contribution! (PR #516). And many thanks also to @Sidle for suggesting this great enhancement (issue #489).

Core Unlocked Package Changes

Added the Ability to Throw Fault Exceptions in Flow Actions

This release closes #489 by providing a new option when logging in Flow - when logging a Flow fault message (shown as 1 in the screenshot below), you can now have the invocable action automatically re-throw the encountered exception (shown as 2 in the screenshot below). This provides a great way to still display an error to the user & rollback any other DML in the current transaction, while still saving your logging data.

• Updated all 3 Flow invocable logging actions (Apex classes FlowLogEntry, FlowRecordLogEntry, and FlowCollectionLogEntry) to have a new optional Boolean property, shouldThrowFaultMessageException. When set to true, the provided Flow fault message (using the String property faultMessage) will be used to create & throw an instance of the standard exception class System.FlowException
• Updated FlowLogger to handle throwing the exception for all 3 Flow invocable logging actions
