Impacts when we change standard page to visualforce page

Hi,


what are the impacts of trigers,validation rules,workflows,approvals,relationships to another objects when we change custom object

Hi,

As a rule, changing of custom object is a safe action. Especially, when you add new optional field.
Salesforce prevents deleting field if there is any references from Apex code or workflow.
However you should be careful with:
  • new required fields without default value
  • dynamic queries
  • access to the field by name, i.e. sObject.get(fieldName)
