Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 281

A developer created a trigger on a custom object. This custom object also has some dependent pick lists.

According to the order of execution rules, which step happens first?

Answer options

• A. System validation is run for maximum field lengths.
• B. The original record is loaded from the database.
• C. Old values are overwritten with the new record values.
• D. JavaScript validation is run in the browser.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the original record is loaded from the database before any other operations take place. Option A occurs after the record is loaded, while C and D occur later in the execution process, making them incorrect in the context of what happens first.
