Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 95

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 not change 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. Workflow

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Workflow, as it allows for the automatic updating of fields when certain criteria are met, ensuring the billing state is captured when the Opportunity is created and remains static afterward. Option A, Formula field, would recalculate the value dynamically, which contradicts the requirement for it to remain unchanged. Options B and C do not directly support the requirement as efficiently as a Workflow would in this scenario.
