SALESFORCE-PD1 Process Automation And Logic Practice Question
A developer writes a trigger that calls a future method. Inside the same transaction, the trigger also performs a DML operation on records that are referenced by the future method. What exception might occur?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
System.AsyncException due to calling a future method from another asynchronous context or batch
Passing sObject IDs to a future method when the underlying records are locked or modified rapidly in mixed DML or same-transaction contexts can lead to System.AsyncException or unexpected state issues, though specifically mixed DML involves setup and non-setup objects.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
System.AsyncException due to calling a future method from another asynchronous context or batch
Why this is correct
Future methods cannot call other future methods or be called from batch/scheduled contexts in certain nested ways.
- ✗
System.LimitException due to query row limits
Why it's wrong here
Query row limits are 50,000, not directly caused by future method calling rules.
- ✗
System.NullPointerException
Why it's wrong here
Null pointer exceptions occur when dereferencing null references, not async invocation limits.
- ✗
System.TypeException
Why it's wrong here
Type exceptions happen during incorrect cast operations.
