Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 38

What happens when you convert a picklist to a multi-select picklist? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Values are retained.
• B. Values not in the picklist are deleted from existing records when the data type changes.
• C. Data is lost.
• D. You can't convert to a multi-select picklist.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because when converting a picklist to a multi-select picklist, existing values are retained, but any values that are not included in the new picklist will be deleted from existing records. Option C is incorrect as data is not lost during the conversion process, and option D is also incorrect since it is indeed possible to convert to a multi-select picklist.
