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

Universal Containers has an Apex trigger on Account that creates an Account Plan record when an Account is 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.

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?

Nah, I don't think that's it. The trigger should handle it fine.

Wait, are we sure the trigger is bulk safe?

I think it's the workflow rule re-evaluating after the field change.

Definitely a static variable issue!

Sounds like the trigger is firing multiple times.

I recall that bulk safety is important in triggers, but I'm not convinced that calling insert in a loop would cause this specific issue. It seems more related to how the workflow is set up.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the issue might be with the Apex trigger not using a static variable. That could cause it to fire multiple times for the same change.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if the workflow rule has 'Re-evaluate Workflow Rules After Field Change' checked, it might trigger the Apex again, leading to the duplicate records.

I remember that workflow rules can trigger multiple times if they're set to evaluate on both create and edit. That could definitely cause the double Account Plan records.

Okay, I've got this. Correlation rules are the ones that look for multiple events within a specified time frame, so that's the answer.

I think I've got this one. The key is to use a function that generates a random integer within the specified range. I'd go with option B, random.randint(5, 11), since that matches the minimum and maximum values exactly.

Hmm, the legend and title don't seem relevant to the Y-axis, so I'm leaning towards either A or B. I'll make my best guess and move on.
