Setting Field Values in Action Definitions

When you create a Create Record, Go To Record, or Transform Record action, you can set field values on the target record. You specify the type of record in the Record Type dropdown list and then set the field values. You can use the field values from the current record in the workflow or a record that can be joined with the current record. For more information about these action types, see Create Record Action, Go To Record Action, and Transform Record Action.
