Can workflows update fields that are inline text on the default form?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the information provided in the Slack threads, it appears that workflows can indeed update fields that are set as inline text on the default form. However, there are some caveats to this: 1. Inline Text fields can be updated by integrations but not by humans, even via CSV upload. This means that while a workflow can update these fields, a user cannot manually edit them on the form. 2. The field's display type needs to be set to "Inline Text" in both the field's own record and on the form itself. If it's set to "Inline Text" on the form but "Normal" in the field record, the field will be visible but not editable. If it's set to "Normal" in both places, the field can be edited by a user on the form. 3. Workflows may not affect online forms. If you're trying to update fields on an online form via a workflow, you may run into issues. It might be more effective to use native field sourcing or a scripted online form. 4. If you're using a workflow to change the display type of fields (for example, hiding certain fields based on the value of another field), you may run into performance issues or problems with duplicate transactions. It might be more efficient to use a script to change the form, or to direct users to start with the correct form. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
