A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: C
You can't convert long text area fields to a formula field and you can't convert a formula field to the long text area fields since formula fields are read-only fields.
Option A is incorrect because you can't convert a long text area field to formula field.
Images will be deleted upon saving (This will happen the second time you save the record) when you convert rich text area fields to long text area fields.
Option B is incorrect because data in the records will be truncated to the first 255 characters only when you convert long text area fields to either email or phone or text or text area or URL field
Option D is incorrect.
Data loss will not happen since the conversion will not work.
Reference:
Option C is incorrect as it is possible to convert a long text area field to a formula field.
Option A is incorrect as the images will not be deleted upon conversion.
Option B is also incorrect as the data in the records will not be truncated to the first 255 characters of the field.
The correct answer is D: Data loss will happen upon the conversion.
When a long text area field is converted to a formula field, any existing data in the field will be lost. This is because formula fields do not store data; instead, they calculate values based on other fields or values. Therefore, if you convert a long text area field to a formula field, any text or images stored in the long text area field will be lost.
It is important to note that formula fields cannot store images, so if you have images stored in a long text area field, you will need to find an alternative way to store and display them, such as using an attachment or a file field.
