An administrator at Northern Trail Outfitters is designing an automated workflow for Case records. When a Case record is created or updated, a custom field named 'Priority Code' on that same Case record must be populated before it is saved to the database. Which automation feature should be selected to meet this requirement with the highest performance efficiency?

- BRecord-Triggered Flow optimized for Actions and Related Records (After-Save)
- CRoll-Up Summary Field on the Case object
- DApproval Process with an automated initial submission action
Answer
Record-Triggered Flow optimized for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save)
Selecting a Record-Triggered Flow configured for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save) is optimal because it modifies values on the triggering record in memory before it is written to the database, avoiding extra DML statements and performance degradation.
