SObjectField method "getDescribe()" returns exception starting Summer 19
Hello,
starting Summer 19 we recognized a change in APEX behaviour:
for a custom sObjectField, the getDescribe().getName() Method returns an exception for a user who does not have permission to view a related object.
We have a custom object Payment__c that is linked via lookup to a custom object "Invoice__c". The lookup field on Payment__c cannot be described by a user anymore that does not have the permission to access the Invoice__c object.
So, if I execute this as a user without access to the target object:
Payment__c.Invoice__c.getDescribe().getName()
I get an exception. We're on API 44 with all our code.
Can anybody confirm this? This seems to be a bug since no change in behaviour is documented anywhere (and should not be applied to older versions).
FYI: The same code still works as expected in orgs that are not yet on Summer 19.
