View All / Modify All system perms in no way interact with FLS. Yet there's also no convenient system permission to say 'this user should have read/edit ability for all field FLS', as far as I know.
Via UI the only way I'm familiar is clicking into every object on a profile/perm set... then clicking on every. single. field's. checkbox.
It's like a new movie in the Saw series. They hate us. They actually, really really hate us. They don't want us to be happy.
Or am I missing something easier? Do I need to write some complex code to query every field on every object, parse the results write it into a perm set XML file in order to grant permission? Do I need to spend 20 hours clicking through our hundreds of objects and thousands of fields, updating the perm set every time there's new fields added?
Is Salesforce profile/perm control an elaborate fever dream of Baal, lord of demons?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
