The following Dialogue Script is handy for taking a snapshot of any Salesforce record and generating a restore script.

An example use case might be testing a portal application experience for a first time Contact visitor. Upon logging in several Contact fields may get updated, requiring a manual restore of certain fields to re-test.

The codegen script below allows for one-click restore of the test Contact record to quickly resume testing.

<h1>Generate Salesforce Record Baseline Script</h1>
Object Type: <dlog:TextBox id="ObjectType" /> 
RecordId: <dlog:TextBox id="RecordID" /> 
<dlog:Button id="SubmitButton" Text="Generate Baseline Script" /><br/>
<dlog:Label id="Output" />
