Universal Containers wants to ensure that they are accepting clean data from their users and verify that important fields are entered. What should an app builder recommend to meet this requirement?
A.
Make a formula field to check the format of the important fields
B.
Update the important fields to be required on the page layout
C.
Create a workflow rule to check the fields are formatted correctly
D.
Configure a validation to require a field for a specific record type
It has to be D in this scenario, part of this question talks about 'Accepting Clean Data'
You cant force clean data by making fields required you just force users to fill them out
Where with VD rules you can force fields to only accept things like numbers or text or only 5 characters etc
Validation rules are the most appropriate solution for ensuring data quality ,You can tailor validation rules to specific record types, ensuring that the required fields are enforced only when necessary.
I would go with B
Not A -> formula field is read-only and cannot be used to check the format of newly inserted fields
Not C -> obviously wrong
Not D -> agree with @vovazin, the answer would be composed differently
Not sure that D is correct. If here validation=validation rule, then it is possible to accomplish. But make a field required ONLY with record types is not possible(without a different page layouts)
Actually you can by using this Formula on Validation Rule:
ISBLANK( Long_text_test__c ) && RecordType.Name = "TestRecordType"
if Record Type is TestRecordType you must fill Long_text_test__c field (basically this field is required for this specific record type
