Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 211

The app builder at Universal Containers has been asked to ensure that the Country field on the Account object is captured as the two-letter abbreviation.
How can the app builder satisfy this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Create a validation rule to set values using an external data source.
• B. Create a workflow rule that only allows the expected format.
• C. Create a validation rule that only allows the expected format.
• D. Create a workflow rule to set values using an external data source.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a validation rule can enforce specific formats for field entries, ensuring that only two-letter abbreviations are allowed for the Country field. Option A is incorrect as it involves setting values from an external source, which does not address format enforcement. Option B suggests using a workflow rule, which is not suitable for format validation, and option D also incorrectly proposes using an external data source for setting values.
