Dynamic population of a list field from a Token

asked on April 16, 2014

Good Afternoon everyone,

Is it possible to dynamically update a list field based on the values inside of a token?

Here is my approach:

When I send in a document, I pattern match a specific set of criteria (let's say 3 alphanumeric values). I then store them as a multi-value token. Now, I have a created a list field called "Status" that is empty, and the next activity is to assign the stored token (which contains the 3 alphanumeric pieces of information I need for the specific entry) to the "status" field. The result is absolutely nothing, I'm not seeing a reflection on the metadata.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Tony

Are you working in Workflow Designer?

Workflow has no access to metadata configurations for your repository.

I came across a similar need though and found a workaround. It can be done through the SDK Script activity by using LFSO to login with another user who has metadata management rights. This will require a license and some coding knowledge though.

Another option might be to configure a dynamic field that is populated by a database engine, then use Workflow to update the database. This should eliminate the need to use up a license but requires a database engine and if someone were to want to manually manage the field from the Administrative console they would not be able to.
