Hi,
I wanted to use owner in a calculated field, but I knew, I can just use createdby not owner. What is different between them? Both of them has a lookup to systemuser.
I want to set owner.Primaryemail.

Remember an owner field is looking at both the team and the systemuser entity which it makes it impossible to lookup to. You wont actually get the owner option on the action part of the calculated field :-(
You can only get a primaryemail form the createdby field because it is only looking up to the systemuser entity
