Workflow Action "Field Update". How To Update Lookup Field

Hello,

 

I wish to update a lookup field from a workflow action however when I look at the options available for my field update teh options I have are "User", "Queue" or "Partner User". These require an actual name instead of a field lookup/reference.

 

Does anyone know how I can specify a field instead of an actual user or queue name for a field update?

 

Thanks!

Hi All,  I note in some other posts that this was previously not possible. Do you know if this has been improved/implemented since?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Even today lookup fields can only updated with specific user.

As mentioned in the other post you have to create trigger for this.

 

Thanks,

Srikanth. K
