I have a Workflow, when a document is created in my document List, it updates fields from that document onto a SharePoint List. When I create the document first time, it does not update, however if I do another one – it updates. Why is this?
If you are updating the column by any means using a code & if it is getting updated by System Account, then your workflows will not run. Check if the modified by column value is ‘System Account’ when your workflow fails.
Hi sorry for my late reply. We create a document in sharepoint, and the document has a file status of “SUBMITTED”. This new document has a CAML xml running which pulls line items from the form and posts into another sharepoint list. Users have the ability to change their submission at the line item level, so they can use a change form. When they post the change form – file status says “CHANGE”, which should trigger my workflow to update the particular record on the sharepoint list. But – whats happening now is – they submit the CHANGE first time, it doesn’t trigger the workflow, but when they do it a second time, it triggers it. I am not sure why this keeps happening.
When you mentioned you do another file upload – did you mean an item with a similar filename, or a totally different file?Â
