We’re excited to announce the release of clearMDM Spring ’26, purpose-built to support the evolving data management needs of enterprise organizations. This release delivers enhanced connected data capabilities that help teams maintain accurate, trusted records within Salesforce CRM.
Spring ’26 Release Highlights – Salesforce External Object Reparenting Rules
Spring ’26 introduces External Object Reparenting Rules, enabling organizations to preserve critical relationships between local Standard or Custom Objects (such as Account) and External Objects (for example, Purchase__x) during merge operations.
When records are merged, these new rules ensure that related External Object records are correctly reparented to the designated Master Record. This helps maintain a complete and accurate view of consolidated data.
Key Benefits
- Accurate Post-Merge Data Relationships – Maintain correct associations between local and external records after merges.
- Improved Data Integrity – Reduce the risk of orphaned or misaligned External Object relationships.
- Stronger Master Record Consolidation – Ensure all relevant data is correctly aligned under the selected Master Record.
- Enterprise-Ready Governance – Support complex data environments that rely on Salesforce Connect and External Objects.
With Spring ’26, clearMDM continues to strengthen its capabilities for enterprise-grade data management—helping organizations maintain clean, connected, and reliable data across their Salesforce ecosystem.
