Can We update Account field with Contact value through workflow

Best Answer chosen by Chandhu Vemasani

Hi Chandhu,

for updating related records in any object, Process builder can update any field on any related record,
but Workflow can only update some fields on a parent record of a Master-Detail relationship. so it is not possible 
to update the Account field with Contact value through workflow instead you can use process builder for this task. 

If you find your Solution then mark this as the best answer. 

Thank you!

No Chandhu, It's not possible using workflow.  You can use Apex Trigger, Flow, Process Builder for this scenario...
