Automatons - Values from other records
Creating an automation, however, not all fields showing up in the drop down for "Values from other records". Specifically an address field.
Any known workarounds? --------------------...
Forum Discussion
Address fields are made up of several sub-fields. The field "testingAddy" is ID 500 and contains all of the following fields.
Yes, I'm aware of the sub-parts of an address field, however, we do not want to break an address field into it's individual parts.
Yet, your solution does not address the original question: Why are not all fields available?
We have found a work around by creating a formula field to flatten the address to text and then it pulls over.
Although, documentation doesn't seem to be available, guessing an address field isn't supported in automatons.

I was able to create an Automation to populate the 6 subfields of an Address field with the respective 6 subfields of a different address field. So I think that Addresses are supported by Automations, it's just that all 6 subfields need to be populated to get you a complete address field.

------------------------------- Again, that is not a suitable solution as it requires breaking 1 address field into its "text" sub-fields.
A single address field doesn't seem to be supported by automatons. Maybe the documentation needs to be updated?

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouSorry, but I am not understanding the issue.
You have two fields called say [Source Address] and [Destination Address]. Both are type "Address".
The automation will populate the 6 subfields of the Destination Address sub fields with the 6 respective fields of the Source Address field. So the Destination Address field will be populate as 1 apparent address field when users see it on the form.
When a user manually enters data into an address field they have to type in 6 boxes. So same with the Automation, it needs to "type" into 6 boxes, right?
