I am trying to get my Action Sequence to Creates a New Row and Add Default Value in a Salesforce User Lookup Filed.  The Value that I am trying to add is the “running user” User ID. 

Tried using Add Default Value > Salesforce user attribute “User ID” but it’s not populating the model.  

Thx in advance

Dominique,

 

Instead of trying to populate the Id field within the reference field (OrderConcierge__r.Id), can you directly select the OrderConcierge__c field instead of clicking through and selecting the Id field?

Before we dive into more complex troubleshooting, can you confirm that the value in your action sequence looks like this?


and not this?

 

When you select Salesforce user attribute in the Field value source, it defaults to showing that User ID is selected, but you may need to select a different value, then switch it back to User ID so it shows that it’s being set to (User) userid and NOT [No attribute].

Hi David,  I am seeing UserID and not no attribute.
