Update Contact-Level Field after Account-Level Lookup Populated with Contact

Hi There,

Our company has started to use a new lookup field at the account level to track the Primary Contact for said account. That field is a lookup field that is populated with a specific contact from that account.

I also built a Two Option Yes/No field at the contact level that is defautled to /No/ for every contact. I want to make it so that when a contact is selected at the member level to be the Primary contact, that contact's Yes/No field gets updated from No to Yes.

What would be the best way for me to accomplish this? Is there a way to systemically build one of the fields to accomplish this (using something like a calculated field?) or am I best off using a Process Action or some kind of Microsoft Flow to accomplish this?

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information to help me solve this! Thanks!!!
