Hi @Sejal27 

 

You need to do dot walk while setting the fields value.

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG ,

 

Can you please explain what is 'dot walk' with some example if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Sejal27 

 

Dot Walk means, when we need to bring field from another table  to our table like

I need caller location in my form

So Caller is in user table and location is field on user record

so in this case

caller.Location --> is a dot walk

Please the screenshot attached. 'Set field value' doiesn't have any option to give dot walk. It's a drop down menu.
