True or False? Merge fields for Accounts and Contacts are available in Task and Event formulas.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only for certain fields

  4. Dependent on user permissions

The correct answer is: False

In Salesforce, when working with Task and Event records, not all merge fields for Accounts and Contacts are accessible in the formulas. Specifically, Task and Event records primarily focus on user-related fields and the activity itself rather than detailed attributes of related records like Accounts or Contacts. This restriction means that while you can reference some User fields, you cannot use Account or Contact merge fields directly in Task and Event formulas. As a result, the answer is that merge fields for Accounts and Contacts are not available in Task and Event formulas, making the statement false. The design choice reflects the typical use-case scenario for Tasks and Events, which are more about managing activities and interactions rather than displaying detailed information from associated records.
