Looking for some help with cross object triggers for standard objects...

I  have a series of workflow rules associated with Task objects, and I would like these to also trigger field updates on my account details...

 

Any way to get this done?

 

In advance, thanks for your help...

better to use trigger to update the accoount fields as cross object workflow is not available to update acount field.

Cross Object Workflow has its own limitations and currently updating Account fields from Task Field update is not possible.

You can use triggers for such type of requirements.

Hope this helps.
