I have a parent object - Opportunity and a child custom object - Child_Opp. I have workflow rule created on Opportunity Object. I have a field in Opportunity object which refers to a field in Child_Opp object. Field_opp in Opportunity has a value of Child_Opp__r.Field_child_opp.

So basically in my opportunity I have a field(Field_opp) which gets its value from a field(Field_child_opp) in Child_Opp object. My questions is can I include the field(Field_opp) in rule criteria of my workflow rule( created in Opportunity Object) . When I change the Field_child_opp, the workflow rule should execute . Can this be possible?

    Workflow rules on a target object Opportunity can never refer, in the rule criteria, to child objs Child_Opp ;

  • I guess I have RSF in Opportunity which is based upon child. So I am using a formula field in Opportunity , the formula field has the value of the field from child like - childobject__r.child field__c.

  • But a formula in a parent can't refer to a child object. I'm confused.

workflow can be created just for parent object. Some-things cant be done with workflow try using process builder. It would for sure help.
