Hoping someone can help me with this,  I have the Accounts as a table with the related Contacts as Drawer under Accounts.   I am looking for a way to update a field on the Account (parent) record when a field on the Contact record field equals “test”.  doesn’t matter how many Contact records have this value.  

In other words if "any of the child Contact records field1 = test, then update the Parent Account field to “Contacts Test”

Thanks, Ann

Interesting request. It sounds like you need Branch actions. On the below page, You’d want to apply whatever If-Then Logic in the formula of the Brach shown in the picture within the global action. I have it set up to where it’ll be updated every time you press the Special Save global action.






























Receives Test From Branch



Receives Test From No Branch Everytime
