Custom settings in formula fields.

Hi
Can someone give some workaround on how to use custom setting in formula fields. Any help is highly appreciated.


Thanks,

You can only access hierarchy custom settings in formula field and validation rules.

Here is the generic syntax: {!$Setup.CustomSettingName__c.CustomFieldName__c}

 

You can refer this :

Hi,

 

We can use custome setting in formula field. Under the header "Simple Formula" you can "Select Field Type" i.e. Field Type starting with "$Setup" are nothing but custome setting objects. Like:  $Setup.LinkForce_Settings__c.Base_URL__c.

 

Note: You can add only Hierarchy TypeCustom Setting.

 

Let me know your feedback.

 

Sincerely,
Praful G.
