Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 90

When changing a fields data type, which scenario can you expect data loss? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Number to Text
• B. Text to Picklist
• C. Currency to Number
• D. Email to Text

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Changing a field from Text to Picklist (B) can lead to data loss since not all text entries may match the predefined picklist values. Similarly, altering a Currency field to a Number field (C) can result in data loss, as currency formatting and precision may not be retained. The other options do not inherently cause data loss during conversion.
