Which Pega feature allows you to define field-level validation rules that execute whenever a user tabs out of an input field on a UI form?
Answer: Edit Validate rule
Edit Validate rules are associated with individual properties and fire at the field level when the user leaves an input field.
In Pega, when you reference a Data Transform from within another Data Transform, this is called:
Answer: Calling a sub-transform
Referencing one Data Transform from inside another is known as calling a sub-transform, enabling modular and reusable transform logic.
A Validate rule is configured with two conditions — one that checks a required field and one that cross-validates two dates. If the first condition fails, what happens to the second condition by default?
Answer: Pega still evaluates the second condition
By default, Pega evaluates all conditions in a Validate rule even if an earlier condition has already failed.
Which Data Transform action would you use to remove all existing entries from an embedded page list before populating it with new data?
Answer: Clear
The 'Clear' action in a Data Transform empties an embedded page or page list, removing all existing entries before new data is written.
What does the 'Map Value' rule do in Pega's data transformation context?
Answer: Translates an input value to a different output value using a lookup table
A Map Value rule acts as a lookup table that translates specific input values to corresponding output values.
Which of the following is a valid scope for a Data Transform in Pega?
Answer: All of the above
Data Transforms can operate on Thread, Node, or Requestor scoped clipboard pages, depending on the target page specified.
When configuring a Validate rule, which setting ensures the error message appears next to the specific field that failed validation rather than at the top of the form?
Answer: Referencing the property name in the Validate rule message
Referencing the specific property name in the Validate rule message causes Pega to display the error inline next to that field on the form.
