## Explanation

First, this Flow initializes a blank list of the "DisplayListOfAccounts" datatype. This is a simple Flow structure created just for the intent of pairing account names with account IDs. Next, it loops through each account and creates a Display Account that saves the last and first name as a field, as well as the account ID to a separate field. This list is passed into the Form, and whichever account is selected will decide which ID to use, in order to get the full account information.
