Allow A Formula Field Use as an External Id

Allow a formula field to map

Allow a formula field to map and use as an external Id, Our SKYVVA application mapping doesn't allow mapping from the source field to a formula field of a sObject. However when the formula field is used as the external Id then we should allow use. We have allowed user mapping from source to read only / formula field.

Create a Formula Field: In your Salesforce object, create a formula field that generates the external ID based on the business logic.
