New feature request please... I have a need to set an email field value based on another fields value. This would be possible if in that Email field type, under Conditional Rules, I could set the value via a connected record. Thanks in advance.

Yes please! I would also like to set the value of a data field to the value of a connected record (from a child or parent object).

Ugh. I think I'm stuck without this. Might be a different way, but I'm doing a ton of conditions to update a status and I need to know something from a different Object.
