Developers create application file records directly from the application file table.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. It depends

Answer: (B)

Application file records are managed by the platform when you work with files in Studio, not created directly by developers. The system uses the Application File Editor to add or modify files, and these actions populate and version the records in the sys_app_file table, linking each file to the application and its scope. This built-in process ensures proper versioning, packaging, and dependency tracking across environments. Creating records by hand would bypass Studio’s controls and could lead to inconsistent or broken app builds, so developers rely on Studio to handle these records rather than inserting them directly.
