Exam Certified Platform App Builder topic 1 question 371 discussion

Custom Button can also call an automation to fulfill this, however I reckon SF wants to evaluate your knowledge in customer object specific actions and possibility to update records with selected fields in this question.

For sure C. Actions do this type of stuff. The reason why global action is not in use, because it cannot take fields of a related record, which user is on and presses button from.

I think it's C

In Salesforce, there are two types of Quick Actions – Global and Object-specific Actions – Global Actions: are not related to a specific record and can be placed anywhere that actions are supported. Object-specific Actions: are related to a particular object, eg. when you create a Contact via the Contacts related list on an Account record, the ‘Account Name’ field is populated for you. Going by above, Option A is completely wrong as it doesn't satisfy the requirement. Correct Answer is C - Although it says "Custom Action on Account", we already know they are talking about creating a quick action on Account. You create a custom action on Account in Set up and then add it to the Quick action layout.

This is literally one of the examples given in documentation for making a custom button. https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.links_useful_custom_buttons_create_record_dfv.htm&type=5

the option is typo it should be C. Custom Global Quick Account.

The link does not work. Besides, the terminology is super confusing, what is exactly custom action? there are only global and object-specific actions...
