I have searched for a ssolution to copy a list item in a top site to a list in a subsite. Unfortunately are there no workable solution. This is the configuration
SharePoint 2013 Standard server
In the top site an Issue tracking list with customized columns for projectnumber. I want to copy a list item to a subsite with the projectnumber as the last part of the url being the projectnumber. The list in the subsite should be an issue tracking list with the same columns as the list in the topsite.
Is the best solution a workflow or a coded solution? Anyone have an example of such a solution?
Best regards,

As I can see is this as well a copy solution, as I wrote in my reply to my own question do we have a working solution. Unfortunately does that require a lot of work manually.
Every time a new subsite is created the start page has to be edited manually.
I don´t want a copy of the list item, I want the list item from the top site to show in the subsite with the correct value for that subsite.
Hi,
To work around your situation, I will suggest you to have a look at Lepide SharePoint migration tool and check if it fulfill your requirement.
You can use REST API to copy list items based on choices to sub site list.
Thank you Aniket!
I actually tried this using CQWP(customer is using SP2013 standard).
It works perfect to search, however am I having one issue, I want to filter the search to only display list items that have a value in the a field named projectnumber that is equal to the sitename of the subsite.
I have tried to find out the term to enter in the filter field of the CQWP, the search is correctly displayed if I enter the value manually.
Have a great weekend, Ove
