Salesforce Administrator — Question 32

How many External ID fields can you have per object?
External ID: When importing custom objects, solutions, or person accounts, you can use external IDs to prevent duplicate records from being created as a result of the import operation.

Answer options

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4
• E. 5
• F. 6

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Salesforce allows up to three External ID fields per object to help avoid duplicate records during imports. Options A, B, D, E, and F are incorrect because they suggest quantities that exceed or are below the actual limit set by Salesforce.
