Question 13

An administrator has created a macro that fails when executed by agents on Case records. The macro attempts to populate a custom field on the Case object, but the field is not available in the macro instruction builder. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The field lacks Read/Write field-level security for the running user or is not on the page layout used by the console.. Macro instructions are only available for fields that are supported by the target object's page layouts and action definitions, and certain field types or field-level security restrictions prevent them from being targeted.

Macros only support standard Salesforce fields and reject all custom fields.

Answer

The console app has reached its maximum limit of custom field macro mappings.
