Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 129

Universal Containers wants to ensure that they are accepting clean data from their users and verify that important fields are entered.
What should an app builder recommend to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Make a formula field to check the format of the important fields
• B. Update the important fields to be required on the page layout
• C. Create a workflow rule to check the fields are formatted correctly
• D. Configure a validation to require a field for a specific record type

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because validation rules can enforce specific requirements for fields based on record type, ensuring data integrity. Option A does not enforce data entry, while B only makes fields required on the layout but does not validate based on record type. Option C checks formatting but does not require field entry.
