Workflow to update a memo field with a field from another record
Posted by rskringer on July 22nd, 2004


I would like to update/append to a memo field in an account record whenever the status of an associated opportunity is won. The problem is, that the update object action gives me the option to update the account memo field, but doesn't let me select another field, it just lets me put in text.

Is there a way to put something in this text field that MSCRM will pull out the field from the opportunity...say: {Opportunity.memofieldname}? or will it always assume what is being entered is just text?

Thank you in advance,
Rob

Rob,

Sounds like you are going beyond what the workflow actions are capable of doing.
You should be able to do something like this via a PostURL action or by writing
a PostCallout. Depends on you reqs and whether or not the wrokflow triggers are
enough to ensure it fires when needed.
