Limited number of fields in workflow

Posted on by 60

I am creating a workflow which uses a email template (Dynamics 356 on-premises)  I the workflow designer I want to add a custom field from the lead entity in Regarding text box of the email. 

I clicked the regarding text box and selected dynamic values from Form Assistant , select operator set To, Look for Lead.  When I try to select the list of field from field list box the customer field is not available and noticed that only a limited number for fields available there.   Another thing noticed was  most of the fields available was lookup type.   What I need to do to get my custom field in the list and use in email ?

    First of all publish your custom field customizations.

    As Regarding is a lookup field, so it will show you the lookup fields in the "Look For" Options.

    I think you should save and close the workflow and try doing the same steps in a new browser.

    A little more stuff to what Priyesh provided that could help you. You can almost every answer to your fields related query.

    Hi,

    Can you check if any field is marked for Searchable == No?

    Please refer this post (this is in context of Advanced Find though) - d365demystified.com/.../

    Hope this helps.
