Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 411

An app builder wants to create a formula field on an Account to include data from related Contacts but is unable to find the relationship in the formula editor.

What is a limitation of formulas that could be causing the issue?

Answer options

• A. More than 5,000 characters in the formula.
• B. Contact and Account objects DO NOT have a Master-Detail Relationship.
• C. Formula field limit reached on the Account object.
• D. Unable to reference the child records.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because formula fields in Salesforce can only reference fields from the same object or parent objects, not child records. Option A is incorrect as character limit issues wouldn't prevent finding the relationship. Option B is misleading since the absence of a Master-Detail Relationship does not directly relate to formula field limitations, and option C is irrelevant as reaching a field limit wouldn't affect visibility of relationships.
