Dependent lookups are a type of lookup relationship in Salesforce that allows you to filter or limit the records displayed in a lookup field based on the value of a field on a related record. This helps to improve data accuracy and usability, and it can also simplify data entry for users by reducing the number of choices they need to make.
Two statements that are true regarding dependent lookups are:
A. They can be configured to make fields on related records, depending on data in the source record. With dependent lookups, you can set up a relationship between two objects in Salesforce where a field on a related record is automatically updated based on the data in the source record. For example, you might have a custom object called "Projects" that has a lookup relationship with the "Accounts" object. You could create a dependent lookup on the "Projects" object that populates the "Industry" field on the related "Accounts" record based on the value of the "Project Type" field on the "Projects" record.
B. They can be configured to limit the records returned by a lookup based on the value of a field on a related record. Another benefit of dependent lookups is that they can help you to limit the records displayed in a lookup field based on the value of a field on a related record. This can be particularly useful if you have a large number of records in the related object, and you want to make it easier for users to find the records they need. For example, you could set up a dependent lookup on a custom object called "Orders" that limits the records displayed in the "Products" lookup field based on the value of the "Category" field on the related "Product" record.
C. They cannot be configured to compare data to external sources to verify that contact and prospect information is up to date. This statement is false. Dependent lookups do not have the ability to compare data to external sources to verify contact and prospect information. This functionality would typically be handled by third-party applications or integrations with other systems.
D. They can be configured when creating the master-detail or lookup relationships. This statement is partially true. Dependent lookups can be configured when creating a lookup relationship, but they cannot be configured when creating a master-detail relationship. In a master-detail relationship, the child records are automatically deleted when the parent record is deleted, so there is no need for filtering or limiting the records displayed in the lookup field.
