Issue

Expected Behavior

When creating/editing a workflow and using the action "Calculate fields" there is an "Add relationship paramters" section. This should include drop downs for the relationship and then the field from the related bean and lastly the raw/formatted drop down. The field drop down is missing.

Actual Behavior

Dropdown is not appearing at all.

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

Create new workflow
select a module
add an action
select Calculate Fields

The issue is at line 456 of actionComputeField.php where the check is counting something about the number of parameter fields defined for the calculation, instead of the number of relationships that exist for the base object.

There is a simple workaround until it gets fixed correctly. Define a field parameter and save the workflow. When you open and edit the workflow you can correctly create fields from the related objects. You can't delete the original field prameter but you don't have to use it in your calculation.

Although my PHP skills are not sufficient to determine what count should be being checked at line 456 I do not think that proposed fix #10216 is correct.
