Metadata Fields being Overwritten, not appended to

asked on April 18, 2017

Hello,

We are experiencing an issue where a ‘blank’ metadata  text field is overwriting a metadata field with that has text entered.

Our setup frequently requires that we ‘merge’ documents (see below):

The issue we are finding is that when we retrieve a ‘notes’ field (multi value text field) which is empty/blank from the starting entry in step 1 and write that to the found entry ‘notes’ field (same field in same template, just different entry) in step 4, it overwrites any existing data in the found entry ‘notes’ field.

The workflow is designed to Append to existing values

 

Interestingly, if the starting entry has any text in the ‘notes’ field the workflow behaves as expected and 'notes' from the starting entry are appended to the 'notes' field in the found entry.

Any help is appreciated in fixing this issue.

 

Darren

I can't reproduce the issue. But since we're not seeing all the properties of your activities it's kind of hard to say if we're trying the same thing. Please have your reseller open a case with Tech Support and attach the workflow.

Laserfiche has tested your workflow and is advising you to upgrade Workflow to the latest version, see below

"I was able to reproduce the issue on Workflow 9.2.1 but failed to reproduce it on Workflow 10.2. Can you please upgrade Workflow to the latest version and see if the issue is resolved."
