Study Notes

Ensuring Food Preference Selection

A custom picklist field, Food_Preference__c, is on a custom object.
The picklist options are Vegan, Kosher, and No Preference.
The goal is to automatically populate the field with a value when creating or updating a record.

Efficient Ways to Ensure Value Selection

Marking the field as Required: This is the most efficient and recommended approach. When a field is required, the system prevents saving a record without a value for that field.
Marking the field as Required on the Page Layout: While helpful, this only works if the page layout is used; having the field required globally is more efficient.
Validation Rule: This approach is less efficient than marking the field as required because the system needs to check the validation rule on every save, whereas enforcing required fields is system-level.
Setting a Default Value: This method sets a default but does not enforce the selection. The user can still override the default.
