Hi,

I'm trying to get a seemingly simple workflow rule to fire, but, for the life of me, cannot.  Here's the setup:

- Object A (Project) has a text formula field, 'Application_Project__c', defined as follows:

IF ( CONTAINS($RecordType.DeveloperName, 'Application'),
"Yes",
"No"
)

- Object B has a Lookup to Object A (Project__r) and is trying to do a field update using the following, formula-based WF criteria:

Every time a record is created or edited

IF (CONTAINS (eo3__Project__r.eo3__Application_Project__c, "Y"), true, false)

I see that an instance of Object A correctly evaluates its formula field to "Yes".  I then save an instance of Object B and see the following in the System Log:

9:10:48.579|WF_CRITERIA_BEGIN|[Object-name a0NA0000002mbzz]|Mark Retrofit as Application|01QA0000000DBAA|ON_ALL_CHANGES
9:10:48.589|WF_FORMULA|Formula:IF (CONTAINS (eo3__Project__r.eo3__Application_Project__c, "Y"), true, false)|Values:eo3__Project__r.eo3__Application_Project__c=Yes
9:10:48.589|WF_CRITERIA_END|false

So, even though the field that I'm trying to base the comparison on is set to 'Yes', the WF evaluates to 'false'.  I've tried this with and without CONTAINS, with single quotes, double quotes, etc--but I can't seem to get the silly thing to evaluate to 'true' and for the WF to fire.  I don't know if it's something silly or if I'm missing something fundamental here.

Any ideas or insights will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
