Actual exam question for Salesforce's CRT-101 exam
Question #: 68
Topic #: 6
[All CRT-101 Questions]

The administrator at AW Consulting has created a custom picklist field. Business users have requested that it be a text field. The administrator attempts to change the field type but, is unable to because it is referenced by other functionalities.

Which functionality is preventing the field type from being changed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Formula fields are types of fields that calculate a value based on an expression or formula that references other fields or constants. Formula fields prevent administrators from changing their field type once they are created because they may be referenced by other functionalities such as reports, validation rules, workflow rules, etc., that depend on their data type and value. If a formula field is referenced by other functionalities, then changing its field type may cause errors or unexpected results.

Wait, can you really not change it if it's used in Visualforce?

I think it’s definitely related to record types, but I’m not 100% confident. I should have reviewed that section more thoroughly.

I remember that changing field types can be tricky if they're used in other places. I think record types might be the issue here.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is record types. If the field is being used in a record type, that would prevent the administrator from changing the field type.

Okay, I think I've got this. The field type can't be changed if it's being used in a formula field. That's the functionality that's preventing the change.
