On the training record, the student lookup field can be made not compulsory also, cross-object updates that occur between training and student are not sustained. As the lookup field isn't a compulsory field, the responsibility of parents and kids is distinct. So there is no impact on parents on the kid as it is discretionary. Also, it is regular salesforce usefulness that cross item field updates are not upheld for the lookup field.

Cross-object field refreshes between training and student record are not upheld while in the process of creating a lookup field. Designing a lookup field does not just increase the importance of data; it as well assists in doing away with whatever data entry mistakes restricting the values that cannot be input. Cross- object equations are ones that range the similar objects and reference combine fields on these items.

Cross-object equation fields are obvious while checking the custom object record; nevertheless, when the user taps to edit, the fields are not, at this point, visible.

Ans.

A. On Training record, the Student Lookup field can be made optional.

B. Cross-object field updates between Training and Student records are not supported.

Justifications

As lookup field is not mandatory field so ownership of both parent and child is different. So there is no effect of parent on child as it is optional. And it is salesforce standard functionality that cross object field update are not supported for lookup field.

Cross-object field updates between training and student record are not supported when creating a student lookup field. Creating a lookup field not only improves the meaning of data but it also helps to avoid any data entry errors by limiting the values that cannot be entered. Cross-object formulas are formulas that span the related objects and reference merge fields on these objects.

The cross-object formula fields are visible when viewing the custom object record; however, when the user selects edit, the fields are no longer visible. Formula fields evaluate other fields, but they are not available to be edited unless you are editing the formula in a specific area.
