Christina Lam 7 Cross Object Update
Hello Everyone! What is the best way to make cross object updates?
I have two number fields in custom object A. One field is a lookup field from custom object B. Second field is an automated field that I used process builder to calculate the total of a number of fields in custom object A.
When I make changes in the original number field from custom object B, the lookup field in custom object A changes. However, it does not update the second automated field in custom object A.

When you say there is a lookup field in the object A, do you mean a computed field doing a lookup to a field in object B? Something like ObjectB.myNumberfield.
If so, the computed field update does not count as an edit / update on object A. This would be why the process builder does not fire.
You would need to set another process builder firing from ObjectB and updating the related Object A

Thanks for your reply! That's really helpful. I was able to fire the computed field using process builder.
