I am need to add metadata to folders.  I have this workflow which runs fine if I select a specific folder but if I select the parent folder it give me an error saying "2/15/2018 3:17:10 PMAssign Field ValuesThe data assigned to field 'SSN' is not valid. 9054 [Another operation on which this operation depends failed. [9054] [SSN]] [0265-WF10]"  I am not sure why this is failing thank you.

In your pattern matching process, are you trying to pattern match the folders it is looping through, or the initial parent? I think you need to change the input to %(ForEachEntry_CurrentEntry_Name) if I understand your workflow right.

Yes, you're right. That pattern would always return the starting entry name (it actually does nothing because there are no backslashes in an entry name). So for each result, it looks up data on the same entry you started out with.

Is the SSN data in your data source with or without dashes?  If you have the field length set to 9 and the data returned from the query has dashes, it will fail.  Also, if the data returned DOESN'T have dashes, and there is a constraint on the SSN field that requires the dashes, it will fail (though I think the error would be different if that were the case).

The only other thing I would add to Paul's response is to also check if the SSN field on the template has any security on it.  If you put security on it and didn't give workflow access to the field, that would also cause an error.

Something similar happened to me yesterday. It turned out to be that the data that I was trying to add exceeded the character limit of the metadata field, which by default was to 40 characters. 

Ensure that the character limit in the SSN field is big enough to take the value coming form your query.

The SSN is formatted to work as other workflows fill just fine and if I manually run this one and select a specific folder it works fine just when I try to have it loop through more than one does it fail.

Since it runs fine on a singular folder, but not on a parent folder, it sounds like your search is returning back Folders along with the documents and causing the workflow to crash when it tries to process.

Try adding this to your current search criteria. It will limit the results to documents only instead of documents and folders.

& {LF:Name="*", Type="D"}

 %(ForEachEntry_CurrentEntry_Name)  was the key that fixed my issue.
