Which feature extends record types by adding custom data fields?

• A. Custom Record Fields
• B. Record Events
• C. Smart Service
• D. Record Level Security

Answer: (A)

Extending a record type with extra data is accomplished by Custom Record Fields. This feature lets you add fields to a record type that aren’t present in the underlying data source, giving you additional attributes to display, filter on, and use in actions without changing the source schema. Custom Record Fields are defined in the record type metadata and can hold common data types; they can be populated from various sources or computed as needed, and they persist with the record type so they’re available in views, lists, and workflows. This provides the flexibility to surface extra business context or derived information directly within the Records experience. Other features serve different purposes—record events track activities, smart services handle integrations or automated actions, and record-level security controls who can access the records.
