The answer should be B D. A : If you convert an auto-number field into a text field, the data in that field remains unchanged. Also, you can safely convert a text custom field into an auto-number field without losing your data. C : You can change custom picklists into multi-select picklists without losing any data.

Correct Answer are C & D I have tried and tested C Changing to the selected data type will cause inactive picklist values to be lost. D Field Conversion Long text areas do not support HTML markup. What do you want Salesforce to do with the HTML markup in this field? Remove the HTML markup. Only the content will be kept. Keep the HTML markup. The markup will be visible on detail pages as plain text.

Correct Answer is A&D 1. If you convert an auto-number field into a text field, the data in that field remains unchanged. 2. You can only convert rich text area fields into long text area fields. Any images are deleted the next time the long text area field is saved. After converting, markup is hidden in the long text area field but it is not removed from the record until you save the record. That way, the markup can be restored if you change your mind.
