Gina199 I am trying to build a workflow rule that will populate a field
I am trying to build a workflow rule that will populate a field (church affiliation) with the organization name IF the contact is attached to an organization whose name contains "Church". This is the what I have:
In the rule criteria - Account.Name contains Church
Immediate workflow rule:
Field to Update: Church affiliation
Formula: IF (CONTAINS(Account.Name,"Church" ),Account.Name, NULL)
Why doesn't the field Church Affiliation populate with the organization name when an organization contains (case sensitive) Church? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for ANY help!

Hi Gina199,
I have two thoughts on this. One, when you use a workflow rule the field will not change until after the record is saved. So check to see if it is changing after the record is saved.
My second comment is, what do you have set as the workflow trigger? Is it set to:
1) When a record is created, or when a record is edited and did not previously meet the rule criteria,
2)Only when a record is created, or
3)Every time a record is created or edited
Depending on which of these choices you have selected, the workflow rule may or may not be firing. Check this setting and see if that is why the Church Affiliation is not populating. Otherwise I think your formula is fine.
Thanks. When I went in to check the workflow, I realized that I didn't activate the workflow rule. So my code was alright, just not turned on.
