Hi guys,
I hope you can help me with this.
I have an approval workflow (sharepoint list) and,l at some point, I want to assign a task to a user that should update some values of the current item.
Imagine a list with the columns Country, City and Job. At some point I want to assign a task that would allow the user to confirm/edit the Country, City and Job and then proceed to the next step.
How can I do this ?
Thank you in advance 🙂
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. I’m using a Sharepoint 2013 workflow. Just one more question, is it possible to get the values that were previously filled on the item form to be showing on the new content type I’ll create ? (ie: When the user is asked to review/edit the item he will also see the values that were filled when the item is created.)
If you are using an sp2013 workflow, you need to do the task for an individual person, because then the task gets an ID variable you can use for lookup. I haven’t figured out how to do it with a task assigned to multiple people.
Have a workflow that assigns the task. If you’re using an sp2010 workflow, add fields to the task for. If you’re using an sp2013 workflow, create a new task content type with your fields.
Have those fields set variables, or a dictionary if you want(2013 only). Further down the workflow, set the fields you want to change to the variables you set from the form.
