I am trying to populate a field on a junction object every time a new instance of the junction object is created. This is my first time using workflows and I'm a little confused.

What I used for the rule criteria is: 

 Rule Criteria: ISNEW()

As for the Immediate Workflow Actions I have chosen a "field update" and then linked to the field of the junction object. In Specify New Field Value I have chosen formula and entered "hello". The field is of a type text.

Next when I create a new junction object that text field is not populated with the "hello" value. It remains empty. What am I not doing right?

Thank you.

  • Thank you, I believe my issue was that I had not pressed on the activate button since I did not see it at first. Your screenshots really helped though. Thanks.

Instead of using ISNEW(), check the box under Evaluation Criteria that says Created and change Rule Criteria: {!Object}:Created Date not equal to null.
