workflow doesn't update values on a field

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it seems that the issue of a workflow not updating field values can occur due to several reasons: 1. The record may not be reloaded for the workflow actions. After editing, the record needs to be saved for the changes to take effect. This can be done using a scheduled script. 2. The workflow may not be set to execute on the correct event. For example, if a workflow is set to execute on 'view/update', but only executes when the record is edited, it may be due to incorrect event settings. 3. If the workflow is meant to copy a formula field value to a field with store value = T, it may not execute as expected. This is because fields with default formula values don't render in search. A possible workaround for this is to use a scheduled workflow or a user event script. 4. If the workflow is setting a field value based on the values of other fields, it may not update if the fields are edited inline (direct list edit). The field will only update if the record is opened and saved again. A possible solution for this is to move the workflow to a script. Remember, these are potential solutions based on the given conversations and may not apply to all situations. Always test and verify the solution in your specific context. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
