Hi Eugene Novikov,
Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
The article referenced says they should be the same data type but does not say they must be the same. It goes on to explain the implications if the data types are different. The knowledge check being challenged is asking what is true, not what is suggested.
While it recommends matching data types for consistency and accuracy, it acknowledges that different data types can be used but may lead to unexpected behavior or errors. Understanding the potential consequences of using different data types is key to making informed decisions in data management.
If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments and where you are encountering this error along with the screenshot for reference. We are glad to help you.
