when can i use the FindObject() formula

Hi,

im trying to update custom field via workflow rule in the Issue that will retrieve user phone# based on name in the AssignedTo and User table

I keep on getting "Error: Invalid function FindObject() usage in current context"

 

FindObject("User", $C_uPhone, $AssignedTo)

 

thank you

Hi Motty,

 

FindObject function is not available in the context of a workflow rule (for performance reasons). It is available on Custom Actions, Scheduled Workflow Rules and Interact. 

If I understand the use case here correctly you can do this in a slightly different way.

Please look on the attached screenshot.

 

Please let me know if you were able to get it to work.

 

Regards,

Tamir

Hi Hafeez,

It's not available in workflow rules. It's available in custom actions.
