copy number field to number field
Hey There,
Another question from me (sorry for overwhelming you in here, it's just I'm doing my first project all alone)
I would like to do a field update in process builder from a custom Number field to another custom number field
I used process builder and my second line is updating ( that's just a text field to a text field)
(so criteria are fine) See screenshot.
Is there something different when updating a custom number field to another custom number field ?
Do i need to use a formula ?
Both custom number fields can have up to 18 numbers, i don't understand why it;'s not updating....any idea's ?

Hi Jelly,
Below is the screenshot for the same. I have used a standard Object 'Opportunity' in which we have 2 custom fields (Total_Bounty __c and Margin_Earned__c which are both the number type field). So I have made a process builder which is updating the Total_Bounty __c data into Margin_Earned__c.
Screenshot :
In Start the process: Select when a record is created or Edited.



In Criteria for Executing Action: select Condition is met
In Set Condition: In the field, i have use Custom field (Bounty__C).
In Criteria for Updating Record: No Criteria - just update the record.
In Set new field values for the records, you update: In Field, I have use Custom field (MarginEarned__C, TYPE (Reference) and in Value (Bounty__c)).
Regard,
Suraj

awesome , thank you.
Do you think Reach Formula ABS(customnumberfield) will work out as well ?
Hi Jelly,
Yes, you can also copy the data as well. But then, the problem will be that you can not edit that field. It will remain the Output type Feilds.
Below is the screenshot as well. I tried working and yes it's perfectly working.



Select Account in select field type and Select Insert Merge Field in Insert Field.
