The drop-down values will include all required fields of the selected record type
B) Same module deal creation
When both the conditions and action are configured for Deal module
The record type in which the deal is created can be configured as a fixed or reference value
The drop-down values will include required fields of all editable record types of the user who is configuring the workflow
All field permissions will be applied during workflow execution

What is the impact of Record Types on Auto-assignment rules?
While configuring Auto-assignment rules, you can choose Record Types under conditions
Only editable and read-only record types for a user will show up under conditions.
What happens on downgrade to an auto-assignment rule?
The existing territory rules/conditions will remain, however, the record type field rule/condition will be removed.
