Salesforce Exam CRT-450 Topic 5 Question 68 Discussion

The error message 'Maximum trigger depth exceeded' occurs when a trigger invokes itself recursively more than the allowed limit.

Option C: The trigger is getting executed multiple times.

Correct Answer.

This error indicates that the trigger is recursively calling itself.

This can happen if the trigger performs an update or insert operation that causes the same trigger to fire again, leading to an infinite loop.

Salesforce enforces a limit on the recursion depth to prevent stack overflows.

User permissions do not cause the 'Maximum trigger depth exceeded' error.

Option B: The trigger is too long and should be refactored into a helper class.

*Incorrect, but possible code improvement.

While refactoring code into helper classes is a good practice, it does not directly address the recursion issue causing the error.

Option D: The trigger does not have sufficient code coverage.

Incorrect.

Code coverage issues affect deployment but do not cause runtime errors like 'Maximum trigger depth exceeded'.

Conclusion:

The error is caused because the trigger is getting executed multiple times due to recursion, leading to exceeding the maximum trigger depth.
