What happens when a Salesforce Admin adds a new picklist field that doesn't exist among restricted values in a Data Loader upload? Find out the impact and implications of this action for Salesforce Certified Administrators.

Correct Answer: C

If the picklist fields have the restrict picklist to the values defined in the value set enabled, then it won't allow values other than the defined.

Other options are incorrect because the picklist value fields are restricted so any new value cannot be added and the record cannot be updated.

Reference:

When a Salesforce Admin performs an upload through data loader for an account picklist field with restricted values, the behavior depends on whether the new picklist value exists within the restricted values or not.

If the new picklist value already exists within the restricted values, then the value will be added to the picklist field without any issues. In this case, answer A is correct.

If the new picklist value does not exist within the restricted values, the behavior depends on whether the picklist field has been configured to allow for new values or not. If the picklist field has been configured to allow for new values, then the new value will be added to the picklist field as an inactive picklist value, and answer B is correct. This means that the new value will not be available for selection until it has been activated by a Salesforce Admin.

On the other hand, if the picklist field has not been configured to allow for new values, then the record will fail, and the value will be blocked. In this case, answer C is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question depends on whether the new picklist value exists within the restricted values and whether the picklist field has been configured to allow for new values or not. Answer D is incorrect, as it assumes that the record will be updated without any issues, which may not be the case if the new picklist value is not allowed.
