Certified Platform App Builder Exam - Question 459


An app builder wants to create a formula field on an Account to include data from related Contacts but is unable to find the relationship in the formula editor.

What is a limitation of formulas that could be causing the issue?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

One limitation of formulas in Salesforce is that they cannot reference child records. In this case, the app builder cannot find the relationship in the formula editor because they are attempting to include data from related Contacts, which are considered child records of the Account. Formula fields on a parent object like Account cannot directly pull in data from their child objects like Contact.
