Summary
When creating a field in Salesforce, you will now be able to set the field level security on a permission set instead of a profile. On top of this, you can modify the field level security for an existing field on a permission set from the Object Manager. With this update, a lot of time is saved when expanding field access through permission sets. This is especially true for Orgs where profiles might be heavily restricted in terms of field level security; now configuring and managing the field level security on a permission set will be easier than ever. You will no longer need to go to permission sets one-by-one and update the field level security. From the Object Manager, you will be able to assign this directly while creating the field, or when modifying existing fields. It’s important to note that, if you enable this setting, you will no longer be able to set the profile field level security when creating a new field, only on the permission sets.
