Posted on by anavrin 40
Hello,
 
I was trying to create a calculated column and a message appear stating that it is going to be discontinued. 
 
 
my goal is to set a a contacts information on a work order.
this is so a guest end user on the mobile app, does not need the read access to our contact table.
when attempting to use the formula data type as suggested, I found that email formats are not supported.
 
 
I am still able to create the calculated field with an email format currently but, how will I be able to do this going forward?
 
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
     
    You can try using a normal single line text field to receive the value of the email field and then referencing this text field in Formula.
