Custom Picklist Fields: Controlling vs Dependent

A.

The statement is true - custom picklist fields can be either controlling or dependent fields in Salesforce Lightning.

In Salesforce, a picklist field is a type of field that allows users to select one value from a predefined list of options. Custom picklist fields can be created in Salesforce to store specific data values that are relevant to the organization.

A controlling picklist field is a field that controls the values that are available in another picklist field, known as the dependent field. When a controlling picklist field value is selected, it will restrict the available options in the dependent picklist field to only those values that are associated with the selected value of the controlling picklist field.

For example, if there is a picklist field for "Country" and another picklist field for "State/Province", the "Country" picklist field would be the controlling field and the "State/Province" picklist field would be the dependent field. When a user selects a value for "Country," only the applicable values for "State/Province" will be displayed in the dependent field.

In summary, custom picklist fields in Salesforce can be either controlling or dependent fields, and understanding how they work can help administrators customize the user experience and improve data accuracy.
