SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
A form has a UI Policy that sets a field mandatory. The mandatory is not applied. Which is a likely cause?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the condition evaluation with the policy's execution order or trigger timing, assuming that a UI Policy set to 'Run on load' will always apply its actions, when in fact the condition must be true for the actions to execute.
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
✓
UI Policy condition returns false
UI Policies enforce client-side business logic. The mandatory attribute is applied only when the UI Policy's condition evaluates to true. If the condition returns false, the mandatory setting is never applied, regardless of other settings. This is the most direct reason why a UI Policy's mandatory field would not take effect.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The field is already mandatory by dictionary
Why it's wrong here
If the field is already mandatory, the UI Policy's mandatory action would have no visible effect, but the policy would still run.
- ✗
UI Policy order is too low
Why it's wrong here
Order only affects execution sequence; even with low order, the policy will run if conditions are met.
- ✓
UI Policy condition returns false
Why this is correct
If the condition evaluates to false, the UI Policy does not apply its actions, such as setting mandatory.
- ✗
UI Policy is set to 'Run on load' only
Why it's wrong here
The 'Run on load' attribute affects when the policy runs, but if the condition is true on load, it should still apply.
