An administrator at a global logistics firm is updating custom field architecture and field mapping configurations across custom objects and the Lead object. The administrator needs to convert existing relationship fields, configure custom lead mapping for lead conversion, and set up summary reporting on parent records.
Which two statements accurately describe the requirements and constraints when managing custom field conversions and relationship field capabilities in Salesforce?
- Converting a Lookup relationship field to a Master-Detail relationship field requires that all existing records on the child object have a populated value in the lookup field.Answer
- Converting a Master-Detail relationship field to a Lookup relationship field is prevented if any Roll-up Summary fields on the parent object reference the detail object.Answer
- CRoll-up summary fields can be created on a parent object regardless of whether the child object is connected using a Lookup or a Master-Detail relationship.
- DCustom fields created on the Lead object can be mapped directly to existing standard fields on the Contact or Opportunity object during lead conversion.
- ECreating a new custom picklist field automatically assigns and enables all picklist values for all existing record types on that object.
Answer
Converting a Lookup relationship field to a Master-Detail relationship requires that all existing child records have a populated lookup field value. Furthermore, converting a Master-Detail relationship to a Lookup relationship is blocked if any Roll-up Summary fields on the parent object reference the child object.
Converting a Lookup relationship to a Master-Detail relationship is only permitted if every existing record on the child object contains a valid parent reference, as Master-Detail relationships require every detail record to have a master record. Additionally, converting a Master-Detail relationship to a Lookup relationship is prohibited if the master object contains Roll-up Summary fields that aggregate data from the detail object, because Roll-up Summary functionality is strictly dependent on Master-Detail architecture.
