Actual exam question for Salesforce's PDI exam
Question #: 169
Topic #: 2
A custom picklist field, Pool Preference_c, exists on a custom object. The picklist contains the following options: 'Vegan', 'Kosher', 'No Preference'. The developer must ensure a value is populated every time a record is created or updated.
What is the optimal way to ensure a value is selected every time a record is saved?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

* Marking the field as required on the field definition ensures that the field is always populated during record creation or update. This enforces the rule at the database level.
* Other Options:
* Option A: Setting a default value ensures a value is present initially but does not enforce a value during updates.
* Option B: Writing a trigger is less efficient and adds unnecessary complexity.
* Option C: Marking the field as required on the page layout is UI-specific and does not enforce the rule during API or code-based operations.
