Contact Reference doesn't work when making new field in different object
Hi,
I tried to load the email of the contactperson into my orders objects.
I created a new field, formula > text.
In the formula I try to reference the contactperson email field by:
Text(contact.email). It keeps giving me the error: "Error: Contact field does not exist. spell check.".
However, when I try Opportunity, or Contract or any other field to reference, it does work.
Any idea?
Many thanks

Can you try something like Contact__r.Email and confirm if that works.
