Salesforce Exam Platform Developer I Topic 3 Question 101 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Platform Developer I exam

Question #: 101
Topic #: 3

Universal Hiring uses Salesforce to capture job applications. A salesforce administrator created two custom objects; Job__c acting as the maste object, Job _Application__c acting as the detail.

Within the Job ___c object, a custom multi-select picklist, preferred Locations __c, contains a list of approved states for the position. Each

Job_Application__c record relates to a Contact within the system through a master-detail relationship.

Recruiters have requested the ability to view whether the Contact's Mailing State value matches a value selected on the Preferred_Locations__c field,

within the Job_Application__c record. Recruiters would like this value to be kept in sync if changes occur to the Contact's Mailing State.

Ah, the age-old question of how to keep Salesforce in sync. I'm feeling a bit mischievous, so I'm gonna go with option B, Apex trigger. Nothing like a little bit of code to spice up a boring old exam, am I right?

Oof, this one's got me stumped. I'm gonna have to go with option A, Roll-up summary field. It's not the most exciting choice, but hey, sometimes the simplest solution is the best, right?

I believe a Record-triggered flow could also work well for this requirement.

Let's see here... Hmm, I think I'll go with C, Formula field. It's a nice clean solution, and who doesn't love a good ol' formula?

Option B, Apex trigger, all the way! That's the classic Salesforce solution, and I love a good old-fashioned code challenge.

Haha, this is a tricky one! I'm going to go with option D, Record-triggered flow. That way, the recruiters can get their nifty little sync without having to write any messy Apex code.
