Conversions That Generate a Gap Event

A gap event is generated for all the affected records for some field conversions from Picklist. The change event header of the gap event message contains information about the records, including the record IDs and a change type of GAP_UPDATE.

These field type conversions generate a gap event.

  • Changing a Picklist field to Checkbox
  • Changing a Picklist field to Picklist (Multi-Select)
