Can we update parent record with workflow field update in Salesforce?

<div data-md=”61″ lang=”en-IN”><div aria-level=”3″ role=”heading” data-attrid=”wa:/description” data-hveid=”CA8QAQ”>You can update a field on a parent record by creating a field update action for a workflow rule created on a child record. When working with a many-to-many relationship object, you can update fields on either parent. For standard objects, workflow rules can only perform field updates on the object related to the rule.
