The sales management team at Universal Containers requires that the Lead Source field of the Lead record be populated when a Lead is converted What should be done to ensure that a user populates the Lead Source field prior to converting a Lead?
A validation rule can ensure that theLead Sourcefield is populated before the Lead is converted. This prevents users from proceeding unless the required data is entered.
Why not other options?
A: Triggers are programmatic, whereas a declarative solution like validation rules is simpler and more efficient.
B: Lead Conversion field mapping maps fields between Lead and Account/Contact but cannot enforce field requirements.
C: A formula field is read-only and cannot enforce user input.
