I am using Workflow to create a certain folder in various places. I've got it all set to add access rights and tags. However, I want to add a field (not a template as we don't use templates at the folder level) to the newly created folder. The field value, I want to set to be the same as that which is already set on the parent folder. I'm using Retrieve Field Values to get the value from the parent folder's metadata and assigning a token with that value. However, using Assign Field Values is not working to ADD the field (again without putting a template on the folder). What am I missing?

If you click on the Field Values box in the Assign Field Values activity properties, you should be able to add fields irrespective of template. If you continue to experience difficulty, please describe/show what happens, as well as any errors or messages that show up on previously executed instances.
Also, is Assign Field Values acting on the entry output from "Create New Folder"? You can check this by looking at the bottom of the properties pane, below the Field Values box. Instead of "Starting Entry", it should say "Other Entry".
Please let me know if you need additional detail.
Side track: creating a token for the Parent Folder Entity Code (4th activity down in the screenshot) looks redundant. Retrieve Parent Folder Entity Code Value (3rd activity in the screenshot) already creates a token for that field.
