Explanation

When changing a field's data type in Salesforce, several dependencies can break. Any list views that filter or display based on the original field type may be deleted (B) because the filter criteria are no longer valid after the type change. Assignment rules and escalation rules (D) that reference the field by its text values may also be affected or invalidated since the field behavior has changed. Visualforce references (A) are NOT auto-updated - they require manual review and correction, making this statement false. A global value set (C) defines reusable picklist values but does not prevent data loss when the underlying field type is being converted from Text.
