Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 126

The sales management team at Universal Containers requires that the Lead Source field of the Lead record be populated when a Lead is converted.
What should be used to ensure that a user populates the Lead Source field prior to converting a Lead?

Answer options

• A. Workflow Rule
• B. Validation Rule
• C. Formula Field
• D. Process Builder

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A Validation Rule is the correct choice because it can enforce the requirement that the Lead Source field must be filled out before a Lead can be converted. Workflow Rules and Process Builder do not specifically prevent conversion based on field completion, and a Formula Field is used for calculations rather than ensuring data entry.
