Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D. E.C.
Dependent picklists in Salesforce are used to create a hierarchy between two or more picklist fields. These fields are related to each other in a parent-child relationship, where the values in the child field are dependent on the value selected in the parent field. This means that the values in the child field change dynamically based on the value selected in the parent field.
In Salesforce, controlling fields are the parent fields that control the values that appear in the dependent picklist fields. The controlling field determines which values are available in the dependent picklist field based on the value selected in the controlling field. The available values in the dependent picklist are limited to those that correspond to the selected value in the controlling field.
Now, coming to the question, the correct answer is D. Standard Checkbox. This is because controlling fields for dependent picklists must be picklists or multi-select picklists. Checkbox fields are not compatible as controlling fields for dependent picklists because they are binary fields with only two possible values (true or false), and do not support a list of values like a picklist field.
Therefore, the fields that can be used as controlling fields for dependent picklists are:
A. Standard Picklist B. Custom Picklist C. Custom Multi-Select Picklist E. Custom Checkbox (as long as it is a picklist type)
In summary, controlling fields for dependent picklists must be picklists or multi-select picklists. Checkbox fields are not compatible as controlling fields for dependent picklists.
