Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 418

Universal Containers has a requirement that an opportunity should have a field showing the value of its associated account’s billing state. This value should be static after the opportunity has been created.

What is the recommended solution to configure this automation behavior?

Answer options

• A. Formula field
• B. Apex
• C. Roll-up summary field
• D. Flow

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best solution is to use Flow, as it allows for automation that can capture and store the account's billing state in the opportunity at the time of creation. A formula field would not meet the requirement of being static after creation, while Apex and roll-up summary fields are not suitable for this specific use case.
