Question

Difficulty: EasyStandard and Custom Object Management

An administrator at a renewable energy firm is creating a custom object named `Solar_Panel__c` to track equipment installations in Salesforce. Which two statements are true regarding standard fields and capabilities automatically provided upon creating this custom object? (Select 2)

  1. A standard Name field is automatically created and can be configured as either a Text or Auto-Number data type.Answer
  2. Standard system audit fields, including Created By and Last Modified By, are automatically generated upon creation.Answer
  3. C
    Deleting a parent record in a Master-Detail relationship leaves child `Solar_Panel__c` records intact without cascading deletion.
  4. D
    Hiding a field on `Solar_Panel__c` using Dynamic Forms component visibility rules automatically restricts user access through the API.

Answer

The correct statements are that a standard Name field (configured as Text or Auto-Number) and standard system audit fields (such as Created By and Last Modified By) are automatically generated upon custom object creation.
When creating a new custom object in Salesforce, the platform automatically provisions standard system audit fields (Created By, Last Modified By, Created Date, Last Modified Date) as well as a standard Name field configured as either Text or Auto-Number.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify automatic fields generated during custom object creation
Salesforce automatically generates standard audit fields (CreatedBy, LastModifiedBy, CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate) and a standard Name field (Text or Auto-Number).
These default fields ensure basic auditing capability and record naming for all custom objects.
2
Evaluate relationship deletion behavior and visibility configurations
Deleting a master record deletes child detail records (cascading deletion), and Dynamic Forms visibility only controls page layout display, not API or security access.
Understanding the boundaries of Master-Detail cascade behavior and UI-level visibility prevents misconfigurations.
