Stuck on Module 2 Challenge - Create a process to update child record when the parent is updated.

The challenge is:

You've been given a requirement to keep Contact addresses in sync with the Account they belong to. Use Process Builder to create a new process that updates all child Contact addresses when the address of the Account record is updated. This process:Can have any name.
Must be activated.
Must update Contact mailing address fields (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country) when the parent Account shipping address field values are updated.

I start with Accounts when records is created or edited.
Filter criteria where accounts shipping address (street, city, state, zip code) is changed (used "or" logic).

I am stuck on the next step "add action".  I started with action type "Update Records".
On objects, I can't seem to change Accounts to Contacts.  Why?

This one just won't work for me. I work in Process Builder all day, so I get how it works. But I can't clear this module. The challenge states: "Must update Contact mailing address fields (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country) when the parent Account shipping address field values are updated." My process tests perfectly. Change in Account Shipping fields carries down to the mailing fields on contact perfectly. But I'm getting error as above on check.

Also note that the screenshots posted by Shailesh are based on Billing Address changes and map from Billing Address fields to contact, but don't the instructions say to do it based on Shipping Address fields?

You get this error when you check the box at the bottom of the page (it is notin your screenshot)

"Do you want to execute the actions only when specified changes are made to the record?"

When you uncheck that box, the error  goes away.

Hello Shailesh,

The process does work for the Use Case when accounts' address fields are changed and then contacts need to reflect the same addresses.

However, when I try to create a new contact to see if it also gets Accounts' addresses, it is throwing me error as shown below. It seems, the process may have to accomodate several more criterias to solve this or will we have to create new process for same?

Judi Sohn, you should use Shipping address fields. It works for me.

Also. you should (if you did it before) disable "country picklists" to check the challenge.

Doesn't work for me either (although the process works when tested).

If you are still stuck on this module make sure to include the Country for both the Account criteria and the Contact update fields.  This worked once I added those in and the challenge doesn't mention the requirement of the country fields.

@sean paradis, looks mostly correct from screens but just make sure once the selection of correct fields in the Define criteria section once again, i.e in the screen we can see all showing only 'shipping' text, just ensure you had selected the shipping zip/postal code apart from shipping street, city, state, country respectively and try to save and check the challenge once. Even if there comes an error, delete the process and build a fresh new one and check it. Let me know once further. keep trying.

Hi All,
I got the same error as champvimal, Christopher Weis and many others. I then reframed the selection of Account fields under Actions to update the Contact records. Earlier I had entered Account>>Parent Account ID>>Shipping City and so on. Correcting it to Account>>Shipping City worked...

Also, the challenge asks to "update Contact mailing address fields (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country) when the parent Account shipping address field values are updated", thus hinting that we have to enter all shipping fields of that parent Account i.e. all 8 fields instead of 5 (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country).

I was stuck on this issue for awhile as well. What turned out to be my problem was having other processes active. I deactivated everything (so I'm not sure which one was causing me trouble) and checked the challenge. Fortunately, I passed. There may be other configuration issues with your set up, but try deactivating all other processes to see if that helps.

I had to try to few times to make it work! This is what I did, you probably do not require to set all the conditions I have, but I did that anyways to be in safe side. However make sure you have selected (OR) for the Conditions.
Also, before you do anything, you should really DEACTIVATE Validation Rule you might have created for other challenges.

ABHISHEK RAI 10ABHISHEK RAI 10
Wanted to put my thoughts which worked for this challenge.
1) Error1: An error occurred at element myRule_1_A1 (FlowRecordUpdate).
The flow failed to access the value for myVariable_current.Parent.ShippingCity because it hasn't been set or assigned.

                                     OR

The one which screen shot is posted in above 

Solution or this error:
Before creating any thing, go to Setup and enter Validation Rule in quick find box. Go to Account--> Validation Rule. Make sure there is no rule set for account. Also check Contacts--> Validation rule. Delete all rules, if you have created any. You must have created one while completing earlier challnegs fo example "zip code is not this".
This will resolve above error for sure.

2) For other errors: create your process as mentioned in above posts but make sure about these three points
a) always use shipping, not billing.
b) Do not use parent id. Read below as mentioned by Srishti Goyal
Hi All,
I got the same error as champvimal, Christopher Weis and many others. I then reframed the selection of Account fields under Actions to update the Contact records. Earlier I had entered Account>>Parent Account ID>>Shipping City and so on. Correcting it to Account>>Shipping City worked...
c) MOST IMP: make sure to create 8 selection criterias for parent account. Read below as mentioned by Srishti Goyal
Also, the challenge asks to "update Contact mailing address fields (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country) when the parent Account shipping address field values are updated", thus hinting that we have to enter all shipping fields of that parent Account i.e. all 8 fields instead of 5 (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country).

This was thread was a huge help.  I had no idea where to begin but looking at the above stuff gave me a good idea.  It failed me because I didn't include 'Country' as one of things updated but once I added that it worked.  I did delete the validation on the Contact object that was created in another trailhead module.  Thanks!!!
AndyVlasovAndyVlasov
Most of the times the problem is messing up with the address fields of realted objects of Accounts and Contacts. I fixed my issue by making sure I relate Contact's Mailing Zip/Postal Code with Account's Shipping Zip/Postal Code. There is Mailing Postal Code for Contacts that is not correct to reference with Account's Shipping Zip/Postal code. So make sure you goes like that: (Contact) Mailing Zip/Postal Code = (Account) Shipping Zip/Postal Code. Hope my advise can save some time for somebody ))

I too was having such issues with this.  Thought everything was correct because I'd been over the values a few times, however, I had actually selected the wrong zip/postal code, I had billing instead of Shipping.  Ensure to check that!  Apprently easy to mess up and hard to spot.
Cathy JohnsonCathy Johnson
Oh my, this one was annoying! 
The error I was getting was this one:
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
An update to an account record failed to update the mailing address fields of all child contact records. Make sure that the process is correct and that it is activated.

I tried many of the suggestions that others have listed above and none of them worked -- confirmed no validation rules in place on Account or Contact, no other active process builder processes, carefully reviewing all my selections, trying to use all 8 of the address fields vs. the 5 listed in the instructions, rebuilt it again in the same org several times, etc., all to no avail. 

Finally, I created a new developer org and did exactly the same steps I've been trying in my other org and it passed successfully on the first try. I only used the 5 address fields (City, Country, Zip/Postal Code, Street, State/Province) in the criteria and the update action.

I have used the original developer org with Lightning Experience and it has a custom domain name for that reason. I think that could be a likely cause for the problem. One thing I did to test things was see what error message I get if I'm not logged in to my developer org at all and I got the same error message. So, I think that message is perhaps really a more generalized error that includes "I couldn't really run the test at all" rather than an actual issue with the process builder.

I believe that error message means you have a validation on one of the two objects.  If you feel your solution is correct, try creating  a contact and a new account. When you put your address in the account it should automatically populate the contact address fields. For some reason my process works correctly. But it isn't being acknowledged by the trailhead.  It's a trailhead issue on my end 
Joonas KupiainenJoonas Kupiainen
It finally helped when I deleted the previously made Contact Validation Rule altogether. After that passed successfully.

SOLUTION

Use REFERENCE instead of string
Use 8 address field, not only 5
Delete the Validation Rule in Contact
Regina JordanRegina Jordan
I was able to clear it after 2 tries. 
- Only used 5 fields
- Set Shipping details ISCHANGED = True
- Immediate Action = Mailing details = Shipping Details

It worked!
Abdul Khan 18Abdul Khan 18
Just in case it pertains to more than one of yall, I see two cases where some of you are getting errors and it just may be that you guys didn't go back after the previous trail to delete the validation rule. There was an excersize that had you do something with the same objects! 
Abdul Khan 18Abdul Khan 18
The worst part is that if you activate it to check it and it doesn't work you have to reclone it and re edit it and everything -____- Process builder is greate but I think I would rather use visual force even if I am a beginner at apex ugh

Deactivate the validation rule for the Contacts object as per the challengenge instruction.

The Standard object fields Account.BillingAddress, Account.ShippingAddress, Contact.MailingAddress, and Contact.OtherAddress are of data type Address.
The Address data type has 10 fields - City, Country, CountryCode, GeoCode Accuracy, Latitude, Longitude,    PostalCode,    State,    StateCode,    Street.
As per the document, the CountryCode and StateCode are always available on compound address fields, whether or not state and country picklists are enabled in your organization.

So for the Trailhead Challenge, it is 8 fields. 

Criteria for Executing Actions
Choose Conditions are met
Is Changed    Boolean    True
Any of the Conditions are met (OR)
In the Advance section, I didn't select "Yes"
(for me, logically select Yes would be a correct one)

On the Immediate Action
Update Records
For Record [Account].Contact
No Criteria-just update the records!
Select the 8 fields Reference and corresponding ShippingAddress elements
Save
Activate
Validate
Enjoy the 500 points
-----
I didn't try the below option:
It may succeed with the stipulated 5 fileds and selecting Yes in the Advance section of Criteria if Update Records with [Account].Contact and No Criteria-just update the records!.

I'm posting this because I was receiving the error "An update to an account record failed to update the mailing address fields of all child contact records. Make sure that the process is correct and that it is activated." and wanted to post my final setup that worked. I thought the issue was with the Immediate Actions section but turns out I had my criteria incorrect. Once I thought about what I was doing it was the obvious solution. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still learning Salesforce (that's why we're all here, isn't it?). I hope this helps! 

Step 1: I think we're all in agreement on this step. 
User-added image
Step 2: This is the part the tripped me up. The directions state when the Account's address changes. I had done Account Shipping Street Is Changed Boolean but had left it at False. It should be true. The way I understand it, you're saying when the "Is Change" "flag" is set to True which means something changed. 
User-added image
Step 3:
Keep in mind that your Contact fields are on the Left in the "Field" column, your Account fields are on the right under "Value". Thinking about this helped me logically lay out what the directions were saying.

Step 4:

Guys,
problem with checking an process may stem from another validation rule that was mentioned in previous modules. My advice is to make sure that you have turn off all validation rules for Account object.

Regards
Harvey JethroHarvey Jethro

@ Rafael Martins, your condition for your #2 pic. should be AND not OR.
@ Sarah you need to set the condition for all parts of the address. It's not only on the Shipping street.
@ Christal, the value of the fields can not be false.

What you need to do is to delete the validation rule created in Formulas & validation in "Create validation rules" module.

The Validation created inside the Account object is the root cause of all errors.

Make sure you are deleting all the validations.

Hi guys,

I followed all of your instructions - as well as created whole new trailhead playgrounds and cleared my recycling bin and still can't complete the challenge.

Has anyone run into this issue? Do you think it may be a bug on the SF end?

Thank you,

Worked during March 2018, Here is the simple thing what is missed out causing the error,

The Solution selected, was from 2015 and during that time BILLING address was the challenge, later it was changed to the Shipping address.

All the Conditions (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country)  should be checked in Criteria.
All fields should be updated with Immediate action.

I think if your set up is:

Criteria

1. [Account].ShippingCity ISCHANGED is equals to True
2. [Account].ShippingStreet ISCHANGED is equals to True
3. [Account].ShippingPostalCode ISCHANGED is equals to True
4. [Account].ShippingState ISCHANGED is equals to True
5. [Account].ShippingCountry ISCHANGED is equals to True

Actions
1. [Contact].MailingCity FIELD REFERENCE is equals to [Account].ShippingCity
2. [Contact].MailingStreet FIELD REFERENCE is equals to [Account].ShippingStreet
3. [Contact].MailingPostalCode FIELD REFERENCE is equals to [Account].ShippingPostalCode
4. [Contact].MailingState FIELD REFERENCE is equals to [Account].ShippingState
5. [Contact].MailingCountry FIELD REFERENCE is equals to [Account].ShippingCountry

Then you have to make sure that your Criteria's Condition is set to "Any of the conditions are met (OR)" since any updates on the Account's shipping address should 'always' trigger the action of your process builder.

Hi All,

I too had faced the same problem several times. But a trick helps me to get rid of this. Instead of trying from my  Developer org, I  switch to some other Trailhead Playground and created the process builder there.

And it works .you can also try this one.
I don't know why it is not working with my developer org even when I had applied all the criteria right. If someone knows let me know.

2.Make sure, if you have cloned the Process for changes then It will create the "Inactive" versions of the process. Goto 
Process Builder  >  'Show all version' of your process ( Something like this '>' before your process name) > Remove all inactive process version and only keep the latest active version.

This worked for me.Hope this helps

Yes, as mentioned under Note you should disable active validation and you should use field references to point Contact Field to respective fields under Account.

I was also facing the same problem but not its resolved, you need to make sure below things:

The biggest mistake many seem to be making is locating the initial criteria field.   When you set the ciriteria.. it should be set direclty into shipping addressess instead of going into PARENT ID.  
so you should be referencing   Account > Shipping Street ;  Account > Shipping City and so on .. 
It should NOT be Account> Parent ID> Shipping Street as reference or criteria field location.    
charles kim 31charles kim 31
I think many read Parent ID and just assume going into Parent ID tree.

Hello all,

After not being able to complete the same challenge couple of times, I found two potential reasons that the challenge could fail.
  1. As the parent account's shipping address change should change all of the children's accounts' mailing addresses, each of these changes on the parent account should recursively trigger each child. So, make sure you check the 'Recursion' checkbox under 'Advanced' while adding the object to your Process Builder.
  2. An address change could happen because of any or all changes in the address. Meaning, just a street change should trigger the business process and so all. So, also make sure you select 'Any of the conditions are met (OR)' while adding the criteria.

Object - Account
Object Account

Action - on the object Account

Hello Friends,

Finally Got the reason, due to validation rules at account level as well as  at contact level, it fails.

Deactivate validation rule in account object and contact object and it will resolve your issue

Deleting the validation rules by going to the Contact and Account object did the trick !

Select Object Manage --> Selcte Account and Contact --> Select Validation rules - Delete the rules defined.
Aditya RawatAditya Rawat

there is nothing to get worried about its happens because either you created Process builder first and activate without even knowing :-is there in any Account or Related contact already present or not .

1. Make sure your Account and related Contact is already created or not.

2. Try to delete the previous one and create a same Process builder with given steps. and Activate it.

3.Then get back to your Account shipping address field and change the values .

4. Check to the related Contact mailing address field.

5. You will get your points.

I was stuck on this one FOREVER because of a Validation Rule on the Account from a previous module that required the Account Number to be at least 8 characters and another for it to be numeric. As soon as I turned them off, it worked!
Samantha Glover 5Samantha Glover 5
I did this over and over again and like someone said above when you keep cloning it, it will still mark it as false.  So I created from scratch and it finally worked!!  Wow that was frustrating.  Hope everyone get their's up and running so we can all celebrate! lol

Dear friends,
 We should check Account Object validation rule.
 If it is assigned to 'Account' object, this will cause error.
 eg. If Account_Number_8_Characters in validation rule is active it will cause error.
 please make it unactive.

Yes, indeed, the issue is related to the Account Object validation rule set up in one of the previous modules. Its deactivation solves the error.

For people having the error "An update to an account record failed to update the mailing address fields of all child contact records. Make sure that the process is correct and that it is activated."

Try these 2 steps. It worked for me.

2) Choose Acounts number 8 (click edit) -> uncheck activation

I fixed this by going to my profile settings, clicking on the trail, and then clicking on to the next lesson.  Honestly, the instructions aren't the greatest, and the module lesson does not provide enough training to sufficiently answer it.  I've duplicated virtually every solution proposed in this thread and none of them have worked.  I'll never get a badge, but I'll most likely will never care either.  This lesson is flawed.

Hello everyone,
as you can see in the screenshot below, i passed the task after i got the same error as most of you,

the problem is the VALIDATION RULE that we have created in the Create Validation Rules<
Formulas and Validations Module. and it was mentioned to disable it in the task.
So, to solve this error go to Object Manager>Contact>Validation Rules and delete the rule that you will find.

then go to Object Manager>Account>Validation Rules and do the same thing.

I'm sure it will solve your problem
