What actions can be performed using the workflow field update feature? (Select two)

The workflow field update feature allows users to apply specific updates to fields within a record based on defined criteria or triggers. One of the primary functionalities of this feature is the ability to apply a particular value to a field. This action ensures that when certain conditions are met (such as when a workflow rule evaluates to true), the specified field can be automatically updated to the predefined value, helping maintain data consistency and automating data management processes.

Additionally, the feature can also enable more complex operations, such as updating fields based on calculated values or references from other fields. This versatility allows for more efficient handling of record updates within workflows without requiring manual intervention, streamlining processes within operational workflows.

On the other hand, updating the value of a field on a child object typically falls outside the standard capabilities of a workflow field update. Workflow rules are generally limited to the object they are defined upon, and do not cascade updates to related records, which often requires additional automation methods like Process Builder or Apex triggers. Furthermore, the use of a formula field for field updates is not permissible, as field updates can only apply to standard or custom fields with a predefined value; they cannot target dynamic values that depend on other fields at the time of execution.
