Brobench v5.4 Release Notes

Here's the list of things we're releasing in Brobench v5.4 Quasar.

About Quasar

Quasars (short for quasi-stellar objects) are the brightest and most energetic objects in the known universe — so luminous that a single quasar can outshine an entire galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars.

Powered by supermassive black holes consuming surrounding matter at extraordinary rates, quasars release jets of energy that stretch for millions of light-years. The most distant quasars we have observed formed less than a billion years after the Big Bang, making them windows into the very early universe.

The most luminous quasar known, J0529-4351, shines with the energy of 500 trillion suns and consumes matter at a rate equivalent to one Earth per second.

  • Desktop App: Essential Prefer working outside the browser? Brobench is now available as a native Desktop App for Windows and Mac (Apple Silicon). More Info

  • ER Diagrams: Professional Understand your Salesforce data model visually without leaving Brobench. The new ER Diagrams module lets you search and add objects, explore Lookup and Master-Detail relationships, choose from multiple auto-layouts, and export diagrams as PNG. Multiple diagrams can be managed in separate tabs. More Info

  • Bulk Assigner: Enterprise Manage user access at scale from a single Matrix view. Select one or more users and update their Permission Sets, Permission Set Groups, Profiles, Public Groups, Queues, Roles, and Licenses all at once. The matrix can be exported to CSV or Excel for auditing and reporting. More Info

  • User Manager: Copy/Clone User: Enterprise Onboarding new users or replicating access is now much faster. Clone a user to create new ones (with bulk CSV import support), or Copy specific access — assignments, memberships, and ownerships — from one user to existing users, with an option to reset the target's access before copying. More Info

  • Event Log Files Enhancements: Enterprise The Event Log Files viewer now supports event type filters, formula-based row filtering, and an improved viewer dialog for inspecting individual log entries. More Info

  • Public Groups & Queues: Enterprise New module that lists all Public Groups and Queues in your org in one place. The Group Hierarchy view lets you visualize which groups are nested inside other groups, making it easy to audit and understand your org's access structure. More Info

  • Quick Loader: Bulk API: Professional Quick Loader now supports Salesforce Bulk API v2 for large-volume data operations. Switch to Bulk API in Save Options to upload records as a CSV job, let Salesforce handle all processing asynchronously, and review a detailed results summary — with options to download success/error CSVs or reload failed records for retry. More Info

  • Quick Loader: Formula Support: Professional Apply Brobench Formulas directly in Quick Loader field mappings to handle complex data transformations — string manipulation, date calculations, conditional logic, and more — before records are saved. More Info

  • Quick Loader: Create Backup: Professional Before running an Update, Upsert, Delete, or Delete Hard operation, use Create Backup to download the current Salesforce records to a CSV file. Keep it as a safety net so you can restore data if anything goes wrong. More Info

  • Quick Loader: Default Date/DateTime Format: Essential Set a default date and datetime parsing format in Save Options so you don't have to configure it field by field when importing files with multiple date columns. More Info

  • Quick Loader: Preview Save Records and Validation: Essential See exactly what will be sent to Salesforce before committing. Brobench applies source formatting, default values, and formulas, then validates the result against target field types — picklists, dates, datetimes, and numbers — so you can catch errors before the import runs. More Info

  • Quick Loader: Global Action: Essential Click the Import icon in the Brobench global toolbar to open Quick Loader with your clipboard contents pre-loaded. Brobench auto-maps the object and fields if it can identify them from the Record IDs — so all that's left is clicking Run Import. More Info

  • Download Metadata & Browse: Essential Building on the Download/Upload Metadata feature from the previous release, the new Download & Browse button lets you open downloaded ZIP files, inspect individual metadata components, search file contents, and preview metadata files — all without leaving Brobench. More Info

  • Field Details Enhancements: Essential The Field Details panel (right side of the Objects page) now shows rollup summary details and lookup filter definitions for fields that support them. More Info

  • Show API Names: Free Brobench can now highlight API names for Flexi Page, Flow, and LWC component boundaries directly in Salesforce UI, with quick-copy and open-in-Setup actions.

  • Record / Child Records: Free Child record grids now include related tabs and a richer record edit dialog, making it easier to browse and update related records in context.

  • Drag & Drop Tabs: Free Reorder any tab — query, Apex, record, or object — by dragging and dropping it to the position you want.
