Appian Senior Developer (ACD101) — Question 2

You need to remove an unused field from an existing record type Product, which has data sync enabled and is backed by a database table.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Delete the field from the record type and optionally delete the column from the database table.
• B. Delete the field from the product Custom Data Type (CDT) and perform a full resync of the record type.
• C. Delete the column from the database table and perform a full resync of the record type.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because deleting the field directly from the record type is sufficient to remove it, and the optional deletion of the column helps maintain database integrity. Option B is incorrect as it unnecessarily involves the CDT and a full resync, and Option C is wrong because removing the column from the database without addressing the record type first could lead to data inconsistencies.
