Getting this error: Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: Can't find the forceContent:fileUpload Lightning component in the 'New Lead' flow. Make sure the field’s unique name is 'Upload_File'

Challenge Requirements:
Create a flow:
Name: New Lead
Type: Screen Flow
In the flow, add a screen with these required screen fields.
Last Name
Company Name
In the flow, create a lead record.
Use the screen fields to set the lead’s Last Name and Company.
Store the lead’s ID in a Text variable called leadId.
In the flow, add another screen with a Lightning component screen field.
Name the field Upload_File
Choose the forceContent:fileUpload Lightning component.
Use the leadId variable to set the component's Related Record ID attribute.
Activate the New Lead flow.
Create a new Lightning page:
Type: Home page
Label: Process Automation Home
In Process Automation Home, add a Flow component that references the New Lead flow.
Activate the page and set it as the default Home page.

I did all of this and yet it says it cannot detect force content?User-added image

I was having the same trouble as well.  I started a brand new playground just make sure that wasn't causing the issue.  Then I followed the steps under the secction "Create the Second Screen"  in the lesson.  Not sure if following step 2 "Under Navigation Actions, deselect Allow Previous.
Otherwise, if users navigate back to the first screen, multiple accounts will be accidentally created" or sub step 3 "Click Add Row and select Allow Multiple Files. For the value, type true and select$GlobalConstant.True."  made it possible to complete the challeng.  In any case following the steps in "Create the Second Screen" using Upload_File for the unique name.

Also try setting the "Enable Lightning runtime for flows" in  Process Automation Settings to true.

Same issue here
Brian_ParkerBrian_Parker
Same here! I am so annoyed. Spent like 3 hours on this today. There has got to be some kind of bug. Where's the vodka? 
Brian_ParkerBrian_Parker
One question..are you guys using the "General Info" tab as the unique name, or under "Field Settings?" I find that if i tried to name them both the same that I get an error stating that it isn't a unique name. 
Lawson Kita 33Lawson Kita 33
First sorry for leading you down the wrong path with my last comment.
I agree with Brian Parker.  Think there is some kind of bug.  Once I created a flow where the unique name for the ligthning component field was wrong, but the label was Upload_File.  The challenge passed.  Using the same trailhead workspace I tried to make it fail by making everything wrong and it still passed.

I then spun up a 2nd brand new trailhead workspace and set the unique name to Upload_File and it passed. 

I remember this happening with the process superbadge.  Had to really finagle it to get it to pass.
Christopher Farid BaloloyChristopher Farid Baloloy
Tried everything suggested but keeps failing! Argh! #Bug
Ewout FransEwout Frans
Same for me, but I first had File_upload without the U as a capital. After changing it, I still have the issue. So probably indeed a bug? Does someone from Salesforce interact on this forum or not? I will try to report it as a bug...

Having same Issue, Please let us know if anyone contacted support, Unable to complete the Module.
1. Tried Changing variable types for leadId.
2. Enable Lightning runtime for flows is checked.
Getting below Error on homepage too.
"We can't launch this flow because of a variable error. Send this error message to your admin. The value null is being provided for variable leadId but isn't compatible with the variable's data type (String).

Solution:
1- Delete last screen which has "Upload File" and save as new version.
2- Open new version and create new screen and add upload file field and save as a new version
3- Activative this latest version.

This should fix your issues. 
Chris DuarteChris Duarte
I am sorry about this. We discovered that the challenge checker is looking for the second screen name to be Upload_Files (with an s on the end) rather than the lightning component being called Upload_File. We're getting it fixed. In the meantime, if you change the second screen name unique name to Upload_Files, you should be able to get through it.

We made a knowledge article on this (see below). My apologies again.

Thanks Chris!!
The knowledge article you have shared is working and I am to complete my challenge. However, it took more than two days to figure out that I am doing everything correctly and there is something not correct at Salesforce trailhead end. Please get this fixed on priority as it would be killing lot of time for many trailhead users.
Chris DuarteChris Duarte
@Manish yes, we will get it fixed. My apologies again.
Lawson Kita 33Lawson Kita 33
@Chris, THanks for your help in resolving this. 

Your instructions says "change the second screen name unique name to Upload_Files".  If this is the case then the instructions on the trailhead challenge should be updated as well.  The instructions are "Name the field Upload_File".  This now explains when I was able to get the challenge to pass twice despite having the unique name for the field wrong.  I had partially followed the stepts in the "Create The Second Screen" section and added and underscore for the screen name. 

If this is not going to be an immediate fix, maybe modifiying the challenge instructions would at least be a quick temporary fix that would help out a lot of people.

Also how do we contact support for future issues with trailhead? I was looking around and couldn't find it.

Thanks again

@Chris Thank you. I've tried to troubleshoot this on my own for hours now, making over 20 versions before I sought out help. I wanted to make sure I was able to find the issue on my own to learn from my mistake. I realized there must be a bug. Thank you for posting this.

@LaTashia you likely have something configured incorrectly in your flow. You should go back over all the steps and make sure you did everything correctly. You can always use the feedback link in Trailhead to reach out to Trailhead Support. It's on the right side of every page.

I went through the entire module "Lightning Flow" in detail after this happened. I didn't see any other places where instructions were incorrect (other than this bad challenge). What did I miss @Brian?

I'm glad you guys have a fix and workaround but I think it would be great to note it on the exercise. I just wasted so much time trying to resolve this.

@Adam: We cannot note it on the exercise without a release to production. If we're going to do a release to production, then we should simply fix the challenge; and we're doing that this week.
Tony NelsonTony Nelson
Spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out what I might have done wrong in this exercise. Since I wasn't able to find anything inconsistent with the instructions, I headed to the forums and found this thread and the answer in under 5 minutes. Simple solution, thank you @Chris Duarte.  Everyone who is giving you a hard time about this clearly has not created public training materials. Small mistakes like this happen all the time, which isn't a big deal as long as they get fixed. Thankfully, @Chris has been very responsive and it sounds like this will get resolved for future Trailhead goers later this week.
Chris DuarteChris Duarte
Issue now resolved in production. We are now checking for what is documented in the challenge. You can disregard the workaround.

My apologies again for the trouble.

Damn.. I had been renaming the screen name all this time. Almost left this challenge!!

Thanks Chris for fixing the issue as well as the documentation!

Chris DuarteChris Duarte
Yes, even though we resolved the underlying issue, I still think the UX is a bit confusing here. When you add the component, you have to click Field Settings tab to change the name of the field. I think we can clarify this further in the challenge requirements.

Couldn't  agree more Chris, same goes for the 'Formulas and Validations/Use Formula Fields' challenge which I spent 20 hours on before giving up. I am about 4 hours deep into this challenge with no resolution and only doing these Trailheads because of the financial rewards offered to Veterans. Otherwise, I would have sat for the cert exam 2 weeks ago. 
There is certainly no learning going on with buggy/poorly constructed Trailheads. I would recommend newbies to take the classes at Udemy given by SF pros for $10. The cost is much, much more severe on these Trailheads!
Chris DuarteChris Duarte
@Geoffrey are you having an issue with the Lightning Flow challenge, or a different challenge? If it's a different challenge, what specifically are you stuck on? What errors are you getting? 
geoffrey bauergeoffrey bauer
Hi Chris, Currently stuck on 2 challenges. I was able to get through the flow challenge issue after fix. (5 hours) 1.'AppEchangeBasics/Install APPExchange packages'-challenge asks for a simple download of the 'Salesforce Adoption Dashboards' When I go to download the app ( In my new DE instance) I get 'URL NO LONGER EXISTS' When I try to complete challenge using other accounts where I have this app installed I get... Our trailbots are having a problem accessing your hands-on org. Please try again and if this issue persists refer to this article to fix the problem. 2. I set up a new DE sandbox to wrestle with another challenge. I did this under a different email, bauer.geoff@gmail.com. Anyway, I can't link my accounts together to aggregate my badges in Trailhead. System is saying other account used by someone else. 3. The reason I set up another account was for the challenge in, 'Formulas and Validations/Use Formula Fields' *my *persistent error message is * The 'Days_Remaining__c' formula field did not return the correct number of days between the contract end date and today.'AND it doesn't. When I looked at the date fields the formula refers to ( Today() - account.LastActivityDate ),the result is 354 or 558 days and it should yield 0 days.I have tried other networks, browsers and accounts with every solution offered over the past 3 years.(WHY is this challenge still being offered?)Anyway, until I get these issues solved, I am stopped from receiving Veteran's assistance. Which is very generous by SF.Thanks,Geoff*
Chris DuarteChris Duarte
@Geoffrey I am sorry to hear you've had trouble with these challenges. Both the Adoption Dashboards and Formula Fields challenges are working as expected -- that's why the challenges are live on the site. I recommend you click the feedback link in Trailhead to get help from our support team, if what I post below doesn't solve your issue.

1. Reports & Dashboards
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/reports_dashboards/units/reports_dashboards_appexchange
  • Get your username and password for your Trailhead Playground using the instructions in this article (https://force.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2659738-find-the-username-and-password-for-your-trailhead-playground?b_id=13478)
  • Install Salesforce Adoption Dashboards (https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000004gHhLEAU) from AppExchange into your Trailhead Playground
  • Refresh the 3 - Sales & Marketing Adoption dashboard in the Salesforce Adoption Dashboards folder at least once 
  • In the 3 - Sales & Marketing Adoption dashboard, edit the New LEAD Trend by Source component and uncheck the Use chart as defined in source report option
  • Change the dashboard component for New LEAD Trend by Source to a pie chart and set the wedges to Lead Source
  • Save your changes
For this, the easiest thing to do is open the Trailhead Playground, and delete everything in the URL after lightning.force.com. Then paste this at the end: packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04t410000009jsfAAA

So let's say your Trailhead Playground URL is this: https://na73.lightning.force.com/one/one.app#/home
Delete this part: one/one.app#/home
Leaving this part: https://na73.lightning.force.com/
And now paste on this part: packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04t410000009jsfAAA

That will force the app to install in the correct place.

2. Account merges: https://force.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2896953-trailhead-self-service-account-merge

3. Formulas & Validations
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/point_click_business_logic/units/formula_fields

Create a formula field that determines the number of days between the end date of a contract and today.
Your renewals team wants to see how many days are left before a contract expires. Create a formula field that meets these requirements.
  • Object: Contract
  • Formula Return Type: Number
  • Field Label: Days Remaining
  • Field Name: Days_Remaining
  • Field Level Security: Visible and Read-Only for all profiles
  • Add the field to the standard Contract Layout page layout
  • The formula should return the number of days between the contract end date and today
  • The resulting API name for the field should be Days_Remaining__c
In this case, you want to create the field on the Contracts object (not Contacts -- note the "r" in the name of the object). You want it to be a Number type field and you want it to create a formula where you subtract TODAY() from the Contract End Date (which is a standard field on the Contracts object).

@Chris - I have been wrestling with the "Can't find the 'New Lead' flow in the 'Process Automation Home' page. Make sure the Developer Name of the page is 'Process_Automation_Home'."  I have checked the Developer Page Name, and it is indeed "Process_Automation_Home", as well as my flow is named "New Lead". Any suggestions?  Please let me know! 

Here are some visuals:

@Kevin It looks like you have your pages named right. Do you have any duplicates in your org? More than one Process Automation Home page? More than one flow named New Lead? I also notice you've got the Dreamhouse app installed there; could you try uninstalling that?
Kevin DombroskiKevin Dombroski
Thanks @Chris - after I triple-checked everything, I noticed that although my flow's name was "New Lead", it retained an incorrect value for the "Unique Name" (it was Quick_Lead based on my original name/incorrect value). It makes sense that doesn't get updated if you edit/change the name, so I *think* that may have been my problem? I deactivated and deleted the flow, then created it again w/ proper names and now it's back to working order and the Challenge has passed. Can I get a whoop whoop? I'd like to buy everyone on the forum a nice tall beer! :-).  Thanks for your assistance - onward!

Hi William Jefferson, you only need to follow steps of challange  and create a flow.

1. First create a flow
