Incorrect Answer accepted as Correct

Question

Observe this question. I believe that the accepted answer leads people to the entirely wrong conclusion. Trigger flow can be controlled - it must be done manually. The answer accepted as correct states that it is not possible in the salesforce environment - which is just not true.

I am wondering how the site handles these types of things. Is there a process in place for a community review of the selected answers? Is there a reputation requirement on starting this process - which is why I can't find one?

Maybe I am incorrect in my interpretation of the answers/question and might be off base in thinking that this is worth correcting. To me the corrected answers seems to definitely stray people away from something that can be done in the system and I worry that someone will ready that first correct answer and assume that this is not possible.

Thanks for the feedback.

Answer 1

That's a tough call. To be honest the accepted answer isn't exactly wrong, you can't control the order of trigger execution using standard platform functionality, but as you quite rightly state, you CAN do it manually.

One mechanism the site does have of course, is voting, and quite rightly you've received more votes (and so far more rep) than the author of the accepted answer. You could appear to the OP to change the accepted answer, but aside from that nothing can really be done (mods can't change it for instance).

I suspect over time your answer will continue to attract more votes, while the accepted one will not; it'll quickly become apparent (as it is already purely down to the length of the answers) as to which is the more informative of the two.
