  • Calculated fields are calculated when a contact is created or modified. If the formula uses a value from a field in a different object (such as system date) and the field in the other object changes, the value in the calculated field will not change. It will only be recalculated when a contact parameter is changed that calls the Contact modified event. You must keep this in mind when you use fields from other system objects.
  • Your plan determines the maximum number of calculated fields you can add.
