Format action: copy a field value between deal and associated company

Outcome. A company-level value, such as employee count, appears directly on the deal record, so pipeline reports and forecasting views that only read deal properties can segment by account size without a join.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it when a deal report or view filters and groups only on deal properties, and needs a company attribute, such as Number of employees, mirrored onto the deal.
  • UseUse it for one clearly chosen source property at a time; keep unrelated copy actions in separate workflows.
  • SkipDo not use it on a deal associated with more than one company without deciding which one is primary first; the copy action reads a single primary association.
  • SkipDo not use it for a value you expect to change often on the company side unless re-enrollment is configured to catch that change; otherwise the deal-side copy goes stale silently.
