I am doing the challenge for https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/business_process_automation/process_builder# and I created a process builder for this.

 

In immediate action, I could see contact fields where I was looking for AccountId but to my surprise, I could just see the account number. Where does this account number (and for same reason) other fields from this dropdown come from? Because Account Number is nowhere found in contact fields and this dropdown should be showing fields from the contact field.

 

Process Builder Trail Assignment shows only Account Number

    update a record related to the one that started the process.

     

    Account has started the process and I am updating contact which is related to Account.

    Have you selected to update the record that started the process or update a record related to the one that started the process?

    If so then why Account Id is missing in this list. I could just see one field related to Account - Account number.

    It comes from the Account which this Process Builder is firing from. 

     

    Your object at the very top of the PB is account. So you have access to account fields and because your update record is Account.Contact you can also access the contact fields.
