If a developer wants to ensure that FLS for a custom field is deployed correctly after updating permissions, what should they do?

Using the Recommit Files Git operation within the user story is the most effective approach to ensure that field-level security (FLS) for a custom field is deployed correctly after updating permissions. This operation allows developers to review and resubmit the changes associated with the specific user story, ensuring any modifications related to FLS are captured accurately in the deployment.

When a developer uses the Recommit Files function, it effectively bundles the necessary changes, including permissions updates, in a way that will reflect the intended configurations. This ensures that when the deployment is executed, the correct settings are applied in the target environment.

In contrast, merely activating a new user story for permission changes has the potential to create confusion or lead to inconsistencies if the old permissions are still cached or not properly accounted for in relation to existing deployments.

Directly deploying changes to production without using the Recommit operation may result in incomplete or incorrect permissions being applied, leading to issues with access control. Similarly, updating the main branch of the Git repository alone does not guarantee that the specific permission settings will be deployed correctly; the changes must be properly tied to a user story and confirmed before deployment.

Therefore, leveraging the Recommit Files operation ensures that all relevant changes related to field-level security and permissions
