Difficulty: EasyObject Relationships (Lookup, Master-Detail, Many-to-Many)

A Salesforce administrator needs to establish a relationship between a custom object named Equipment_Maintenance__c and the standard Asset object. The business requirement dictates that if an Asset record is deleted, all associated Equipment_Maintenance__c records must be automatically deleted as well. Which relationship type should the administrator create on the Equipment_Maintenance__c object?

  1. A Master-Detail relationship with Asset as the master objectAnswer
  2. B
    A Lookup relationship with Asset as the lookup target
  3. C
    A Lookup relationship combined with a Roll-Up Summary field on Asset
  4. D
    A Hierarchical relationship referencing the Asset object

Answer

A Master-Detail relationship with Asset as the master object
Creating a Master-Detail relationship on the custom child object with the parent object as the master enforces cascading deletion, ensuring that deleting the parent automatically removes all related child records.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the deletion requirement
Deleting a parent record must trigger an automatic cascade deletion of all child records.
Salesforce relationship types determine record lifecycle and cascading deletion behavior.
2
Select the appropriate object relationship type
Configure a Master-Detail relationship on the child object (Equipment_Maintenance__c) pointing to Asset.
Master-Detail relationships tie child record lifecycle directly to the master record.
