Automations: reference proxy fields

Question

I'm defining an automation action, and the field I'm looking for is not showing in the Values dropdown (below). Is this because it is a reference proxy field?

Also, here's the relationship info (the Automation is being created from the 'Leads' table):

You cannot update lookup fields.&nbsp; You need to populate the value for [Site ID], and the relationship will populate all the lookup fields.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Thanks Mark!So it is actually the [Site ID - Address] that I am referring to. Short of creating a field that has all of the address info typed out (i.e. 555 Pipeline Dr. Tacoma, WA 55555), is there a workaround that would allow the Automation to pull this reference proxy field? Does that make sense?------------------------------Mathew Crist------------------------------

I'm confused.&nbsp; Are you trying to create a Leads record with the Automation?&nbsp; &nbsp;if so, you need to populate the [Site ID] field.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
