Primary_Contact__r Values
Has anyone had any luck using the Primary_Contact__r field values in formula fields? They appear to all return null values even though the opportunity has a primary contact.
Example: An opportunity has a primary contact selected but Primary_Contact__r.Id = null. Would expect Primary_Contact__r.Id to equal the primary contact's Id.
__r means "custom relationship", just as __c means "custom field." Someone in your organization made that field, and it has no value until the lookup is populated. Using a OpportunityContactRole won't automatically fill in this custom field. You'll need a trigger to set the value. You can see this custom field under Setup > Customize > Opportunity > Fields.
Ya, for some reason wasn't thinking it was a custom field. Makes sense now.
