[All CRT-101 Questions]

The administrator at AW Consulting has created a custom picklist field. Business users have requested that it be a text field. The administrator attempts to change the field type but, is unable to because it is referenced by other functionalities.

Which functionality is preventing the field type from being changed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Formula fields are types of fields that calculate a value based on an expression or formula that references other fields or constants. Formula fields prevent administrators from changing their field type once they are created because they may be referenced by other functionalities such as reports, validation rules, workflow rules, etc., that depend on their data type and value. If a formula field is referenced by other functionalities, then changing its field type may cause errors or unexpected results.

That's a good point, Visualforce could be the reason behind the field type change restriction.

I think it might be Visualforce, as it can also reference fields in the Salesforce platform.

Haha, I bet it's the 'Invisible JavaScripts' that are prCherrinting the field type change. You know, the ones that hide in the shadows and wreak havoc.

I'm going with JavaScript. You know those sneaky little scripts can really mess with your fields.

Maybe we should check if there are any formula fields affecting it as well.

But the custom picklist field is used in multiple record types, so it makes sense that it's them.

My money's on the formula fields. They're always the culprit when it comes to field type changes.

Nah, I bet it's the Visualforce pages. Those things can really lock down your fields.
