Setting up the Update Fields Action

The Update Fields workflow action is used to update the fields in a record when the entry criteria are met. 

 

For a workflow to execute actions, it must be active and triggered, and the entry criteria must be met. To learn about these workflow components, click here.

 

Let us take the example of calculating the weighted revenue of a deal from the deal amount. 

  

This workflow calculates and updates the weighted revenue of a deal every time the deal amount is updated and saved.

 

To learn more about deals, click here.

Copying Co-owner Field from Parent to Child Module

• You can copy the Co-Owner field value from the parent module to a child module.  
• You can select a parent record's co-owner field when you are creating a workflow with an update field task and setting values for the co-owner field.

Different types of source fields

When you click the +Add Record Field button in Step 14, a drop-down with the following three options is displayed:

• Raw text: You must manually enter the value the destination field must take.
• Field: When you select this option, you choose a field from where the value must be copied to the destination field.
• Expression: This option lets you use fields to form an arithmetic expression, the value of which will be updated in the destination field. You can also use ready-made functions from the Use Functions drop-down. 
  • After selecting the function, you must enter field names in the function placeholders from the Use Field drop-down. For example, concat(first name, last name) is a function that connects the first and last names.
