What Happens When a Custom Picklist Field is Made Invisible

Correct Answer: B

Since the Salesforce Admin has selected the option to always require a value in the field to save the record, this field will be a required field and field level security cannot be applied.

Option A is incorrect because the field needs to be visible if it is required on the page layout.

Option C is incorrect because picklist fields don't ignore field level security.

Option D is incorrect because picklist fields have the option to always require a value in the field to save the record.

Reference:

The correct answer is A. Picklist field can be invisible through field level security.

Field level security in Salesforce allows administrators to control access to individual fields on a particular object. This includes controlling whether a field is visible, editable, or read-only for different profiles or permission sets.

In this scenario, the Salesforce Admin has created a custom picklist field called "Maximum Project Budget" and selected the option to always require a value in this field to save the record. This means that when a user creates a new record or edits an existing record, they must select a value for this field.

However, if the Admin wants to make the picklist field invisible, they can use field level security to control the visibility of the field. This would prevent users from seeing the field on the page layout or in reports. However, even if the field is made invisible, it will still be required if the "Always require a value in this field to save the record" option is selected.

Option B, "Since the picklist field is required, you cannot make it invisible," is incorrect because it is possible to make a required field invisible using field level security. However, the field will still be required and users will need to select a value for it in order to save the record.

Option C, "Picklist fields ignore field level security," is also incorrect. Field level security applies to all fields, including picklist fields.

Option D, "Picklist fields do not have the option to always require a value in the field to save the record," is incorrect because picklist fields can be made required using the "Required" checkbox in the field properties.
