A. B.B.
When a field is deleted from a page layout in Salesforce, it does not get deleted from the object itself. The field is a separate entity that exists within the object's metadata, and removing it from a page layout only affects its visibility and placement on that specific page layout.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
In Salesforce, an object represents a specific type of record, such as an Account, Contact, or Custom Object. Each object has associated metadata that defines its structure, including the fields it contains. Fields are the individual data elements within an object that hold specific types of information, such as text, numbers, dates, or picklist values.
Page layouts determine how an object's fields are displayed to users in the Salesforce user interface. They control the placement, visibility, and behavior of fields on record detail pages and edit pages. Page layouts provide a way to tailor the user experience and show relevant information for different user profiles or record types.
When you delete a field from a page layout, you are only removing its visibility from that particular page layout. The field definition and data associated with it still exist within the object's metadata. Other page layouts, customizations, or automation processes that use the field will not be affected by removing it from one page layout.
Deleting a field from an object requires specific actions, such as modifying the object's metadata using Salesforce's setup tools or APIs. This action would involve permanently removing the field from the object, including its definition and any associated data. However, removing a field from a page layout does not perform these actions and only affects the field's visibility within that layout.
To summarize, the correct answer to the question is:
B. No.
When a field is deleted from the page layout, it is not deleted from the object. The field is simply removed from the visibility and placement on that specific page layout, while the field itself and its associated data remain intact within the object's metadata.
