[All Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II (Plat-Dev-301) Questions]

Universal Containers has an existing automation where a custom record called Account Plan is created upon an Account being marked as a Customer. Recently, a Workflow Rule was added so that whenever an Account is marked as a Customer, a 'Customer Since' date field is updated with today's date.

Now, since the addition of the Workflow Rule, two Account Plan records are created whenever the Account is marked as a Customer.

What might cause this to happen?

AThe Apex Trigger responsible for the record creation is not bulk sate and calls insert inside of a for loop.

BThe Apex Trigger responsible for the record creation does not use a static variable to ensure It only fires once.

CThe Workflow Rule responsible for the record creation fires twice because the 'Customer Since' field Update Is marked as 'Re-evaluate Workflow Rules After Field Change

DThe Process Builder responsible for the record creation fires before and after the Workflow rule.

Option B could also be a reason, but I lean towards C.

I agree with C, but I’m surprised it wasn’t caught earlier!

Wait, are we sure it's not the Apex Trigger causing this?

I think it's definitely option C. That re-evaluation can cause issues.

Sounds like a classic case of double-triggering.

I wonder if the Process Builder is involved somehow. I vaguely recall that it can run before or after other automation, but I’m not confident about the order of execution.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before where the static variable was the key to preventing multiple triggers. Could that be the issue here too?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if the Apex Trigger isn't bulk-safe, it could lead to unexpected behavior. I need to double-check that concept.

I remember studying how Workflow Rules can trigger multiple times, especially if they're set to re-evaluate after a field change. That might be what's happening here.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on the key vault information, the correct answer is Key1 only. I'll make sure to read the question carefully and select the right option.

This seems like a straightforward network design question. I'll need to carefully consider the requirements around NAS failover and securing against malicious threats.
