In the scenario of having a parent FlexCard with 5 child FlexCards, how many different data sources can be configured?

In the context of Salesforce Omnistudio, a parent FlexCard can have a single data source configuration that serves the entire card along with any child FlexCards. While the children can display their own unique data, they inherit the data context from the parent. This means that the parent FlexCard establishes the primary data structure which the child FlexCards can reference or utilize for their own configurations.

In this scenario, even though there are five child FlexCards, they typically do not require separate data sources but rather operate off the data provided by the parent FlexCard. The design focuses on efficiency and consolidation, allowing you to manage data effectively without the need for redundant data sources.

Therefore, only one main data source is typically configured for the entire set of FlexCards, maintaining a streamlined process for managing data. This highlights the importance of understanding how data inheritance works within parent-child relationships in FlexCards, ensuring you leverage the data appropriately for your application.
