Hello,
I'm currently working on building a SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflow that includes creating an item in a SharePoint List based on some data from an InfoPath form. When I insert the Create List Item action and click "this list," I select my SharePoint list
and the required fields appear in the dialog as expected. However, there is another field called "Path and Name" that also appears. The workflow fails, throwing an error along the lines of "workflow cannot update the item," and when I edit the SP list to
make none of the fields required (except "Path and Name") it still fails - this leads me to believe that the "Path and Name" field is causing the error.
After some researching it appears that "Path and Name" is related to creating list items in a Document Library, which I then tested on my virtual machine. On my VM, the Create List Item action does not prompt for an input into "Path and Name" when I try
to add an item to a regular list, as expected. It only prompts for that field when I try to add an item to a Document Library, which also affirms the research. However, on the client's server, it prompts for "Path and Name" no matter what list/library I
select.
I've tried recreating the workflow, but all workflow attempts have the same result. It seems to me that I should not be prompted to enter a "Path and Name" for an item in a regular SP list, and the fact that it's requiring me to do so makes this workflow
impossible. Am I missing anything here? Is there a way to input a "Path and Name" for a list item that isn't a document? Is there a way to get around having to supply this input, or a way to not be prompted at all (as it seems should be the case)?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
