Assign field values with Workflow

asked on April 24, 2013 Show version history

A question about workflow:

 

I got a workflow that got a rule condition that every time that a folder enter a certain path trigger my session In the folder is from 1 to maybe 3 documents inside I put a waiting condition that expect that the folder content got the field “x” got something capture. The possible capture came from a drop list with option A,B or C (its not a multi value field, only one letter option) (also got blank option) Identify when I capture any of the letter and the workflow continues I put a “find entries” inside of the folder and retrieve the field info of all the documents I put a for every document I get I want a retrieve field value (validates by a track token that receive two blanks an one letter if there is 3 documents inside The I put a assign field value outside of the For each entry and tell that capture the info in the folder that triggers the workflow My intention its to retrieve the value from the folder an then assign the value in all the documents inside  of the folder My issue its this, if the entry its one, works if there is more than one if a capture the field in the last document works, but if I capture the info in the first or middle one, assign nothing to the folder Is there anything that I can do?

From what I understand you are trying to grab field information from one of three documents inside of a parent folder. Two of these documents will be blank and one will have a value (A,B, or C).  It sounds like your for each entry activity is consistently returning the value of your third document, regardless of which document has the field with a value. 

 

Here's how I would create my workflow to handle this scenario:

 

 

The conditional sequence will make the Retrieve Field Values activity only run if that field has a value in the first place. The loop will ignore any blank values and retrieve the value from the document that actually has a value.
