Question

Field Constraints Won't Fill In With "Assign Field Values" Task

Workflow

Updated April 14, 2015

asked on April 14, 2015

I am in the process of changing templates on existing files. One of the templates I am changing to has a field for Social Security Number (text field) with constraints for SSN applied (\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d\d\d). The template I am removing has a field for Social Security Number (text field) but no constraints.

When I use a workflow to retrieve data from the old template and assign it to the new template it will not copy over the Social Security Number.

This is the error message I get in the workflow.

Suggestions on how to get the SSN into the new template?

Thanks.

Hi Jennifer,

See the screenshot below for a sample workflow. Note that I'm using a Pattern Matching activity to split up the social security number (without formatting) into three different segments. Then I'm assigning the pattern matching values to the new social security number field as "segment1-segment2-segment3"
