I have a customer that has 5 different contacts, each having a different address and e-mail.

When I select a different contact ( circled red below ), It does not update e-mail and address to that of the contact.

Am I missing a step? Something I need to do in marketing setup for this to work?

Confirm the Contact Type for Contact code C00034, if its type Person then it will not insert the E-mail Address. It just inserts the Name then exits as shown in the code snippet below.

That’s standard behavior. The fields 'Contact Code' and 'Contact Name' are used solely to select the default contact for a customer. For this reason, the fields on the Address & Contact FastTab of the customer card are related to the customer itself, not the contact person. They won’t be updated when you select a new contact in the 'Contact Code' or 'Contact Name' fields.

I think you should use Ship-to Address instead of Contact in this case.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
