Question

Difficulty: MediumCustom Fields and Data Types

A Salesforce administrator at a commercial aviation maintenance company is updating field configurations across custom objects and setting up lead management processes. The administrator needs to convert existing field data types and configure field mappings for lead conversion. Which two statements describe correct considerations for custom field data type conversions and lead field mapping? (Choose 2)

  1. Custom Lead fields can only be mapped to custom fields on the Account, Contact, or Opportunity objects with compatible data types.Answer
  2. Changing a custom field type from Multi-Select Picklist to a single-select Picklist can result in data loss if existing records contain multiple selected values.Answer
  3. C
    Custom Lead fields can be mapped directly to standard fields on the Contact object during lead conversion.
  4. D
    Roll-Up Summary fields can be created on a parent object to aggregate values from child records connected via a Lookup relationship.
  5. E
    Converting a custom Master-Detail relationship field to a Lookup relationship automatically deletes all existing child records.

Answer

Custom Lead fields can only be mapped to custom fields on target records (Account, Contact, Opportunity) with matching data types, and converting a field from Multi-Select Picklist to single-select Picklist risks losing data when records have multiple selected values.
Custom Lead fields can only be mapped to custom fields on Account, Contact, or Opportunity records during lead conversion. Furthermore, converting a Multi-Select Picklist field to a single-select Picklist truncates extra values on records that contain multiple selections, resulting in data loss.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze lead conversion mapping constraints.
Determine that custom lead fields can only map to custom fields on target objects.
Standard fields are not valid mapping targets for custom lead fields during lead conversion.
2
Evaluate data type conversion behavior for picklist fields.
Identify that changing from Multi-Select Picklist to Picklist truncates all but the first selected value.
Data conversion rules specify data loss risks when multi-value fields are changed to single-value formats.

Key Concept

Custom field mapping restrictions during lead conversion and data loss rules for field type conversions.
