I have a picklist custom field, let's call it Class__c of Unit custom object. I want to assign a default value to it. Default value is current user's Unit__c value. User's unit is also a picklist field. So in Class__c field I'm using TEXT($User.Unit__c) but I'm getting this error:

Error: Incorrect parameter type for TEXT. Expected Number, Date, DateTime, received Picklist

But we know that

TEXT converts picklist values to text in formula fields

I'm just confused why is that happening and what can I do in this situation?

Reset to default

as mentioned below the formula editor box:

Use formula syntax: Enclose text and picklist value API names in double quotes : ("the_text").

enter image description here

You can use this in your formula box.
"$User.Unit__c"

Hope it helps :)

  • You are welcome :), but doesn't this answer your question that you posted here? You asked, why using the TEXT($User.Unit__c) is giving you the error and a fix for that right?
