Add formula to Task that references a contact field

I am trying to add a formula field on an Activity which will display the content of a custom field from the Contact that the activity is related to.

 

So far, I cannot see a way to access that field from the Contact object using standard formulas.

Any ideas?

Ouch...  I don't think it's gonna be possible using an SFDC Formula or WFR.  The farthest you can get with them is the WhoId.

I know. I guess I'd have to do it with Apex and a VF page

Yeah, sorry I can't help you with those. 

 

WhoId and WhatId are pretty much the end of the road when it comes to formulas
