Save to Repository action is using old variable values

Forms Version 10
Updated October 27, 2020
asked on October 27, 2020

I have a process where the user submits data for a few fields, a workflow changes the values in those fields (with wait for workflow to complete set to yes) and then a Save to Repository action uses those variables in the path of the saved documents.

 

However, the Save to Repository action uses the values from before the workflow was run even though it occurs after the workflow. I tried adding a delay in the workflow itself at the end, and also tried adding one in between the workflow and Save to Repository, but the same behavior persists.

 

Is what I'm attempting to do possible?

In your save to repository right pane, there are two options 1) save a form from a specific step or 2) save a form with current data. Since you are updating the values after the submission, you need to make sure to chose the option to save a specific form with current data, which should be updated after the workflow is run. My guess is you have option 1 selected and you're saving the submission from a specific step, with the data submitted on that step.

Thanks, Jared. I completely forgot about that option!
