The problem

When using Salesforce connector we might offer the user object or field that is not usable in the context of the selected action. For instance field Name cannot be updated on the Contact object, or User object cannot be deleted via API call. This is all coded in the metadata of the objects, e.g. fields have updateable flag, objects have deletable flag.

Expected behavior

Never offer something to the user if that can lead to errors. For instance remove Contact's Name field from the data shape specification when selecting update/create or update actions.

A bit nuanced, we should provide better use of Salesforce metadata.
