I think A and D. Seen a lot of people pick C by mistake since phone looks unique, but Salesforce only allows text or number as external ID. Someone correct me if that's changed!
Maybe C/D, I think phone fields can be set as external IDs too in some cases.
Haha classic Salesforce gotcha, definitely A and D. Only text and number fields can be external IDs, not phone or URL. I remember getting tripped up by this before, but that's what the docs say. Let me know if I'm missing something new though!
Its A and D. External IDs only work with number and text fields, not phone or URL. C is a common trap since phone fields seem unique but Salesforce doesn't allow them as external IDs afaik.
A imo and D, that's what I remember from Salesforce docs and some practice exam questions. Official guide covers external ID field types pretty well, worth a review if you're stuck on field limitations.
I thought C could be used too, so I'd pick C and D. Phone numbers can be unique, right? Maybe I'm mixing it up with unique constraints vs actual external ID support. Someone correct me if I'm off.
A/D tbh, phone and URL fields feel like they should be options but Salesforce only lets you use number or text for external IDs. Pretty sure that's tripped up folks in similar questions. Not seeing anything new changing that.
A/D all day. Salesforce docs say only number and text for external IDs, not phone or URL fields.
Yeah this comes up all the time, it's A and D. External IDs in Salesforce are just number or text fields, not phone or URL. If that's changed recently I'd be surprised.
It’s A and D. Phone and URL fields trip up a lot of people but only number and text are valid for external IDs in Salesforce, seen that clarification on similar practice sets. Open to hearing if the platform changed.
Be respectful. No spam.
