How can we copy email id from person account to any other related object. E.g. Email id from Person account to Opportunity.

Hi,


Very simple. You can create a formula field on Child object which will store the value of Parent record email.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

formula fields will not support email values...

 

It support following return types

 

currency,

date ,

number

,text

U can't edit formula field so u he don't need any validation of email field & he can use "text" to have the value in child
