Copy document step doesn't copy a column of a document library

I have created a site workflow to run when a document is uploaded to a specific document library(A).
In the workflow it copies the document which is uploaded to another document library. Destination document library is decided by a column in the "A" document library named as 'Category'.
Depending on the category the document is copied to one of the other document libraries.There are 8 other document libraries.
"A" document library has 7 columns created by me. Other document libraries have the exact set of columns(In  there exact same names) and one more extra column.
Workflow works perfectly fine and it copies the document. But only one column doesn't get copied to the destination libraries.
This particular column is a "multiple line" type and the number of lines are 4.
These settings including the column name,type,number of lines all are similar to the source document library.
Now the strangest thing is this only happens for 6 out of those 8 destination doc libraries. For two of the document libraries all the columns gets copied.(Those two are highlighted in the image)
I cross referenced almost all the document library settings with the working and not working destination document libraries and couldn't find any difference.
What could have gone wrong? 
How does the SharePoint match the columns between document libraries when copying a document ? Is it only the column name or is there any other id its using?
Is there any other way to do debug kind of a thing in a workflow to find out the problem?

Hi Diren,
I tested the issue in my environment with SharePoint workflow 2013. I created two libraries, then created a multi-line text column with the same name for both of them respectively. The simple workflow is designed as below:
And it worked for multi-line text column. It turns out the multi-line text column during the copying to another library. All we have to ensure is the column name is the same. However, when creating column, I didn’t change the default settings unless the
Number of lines for editing was set to 4 for your situation.
As the issue occurs to part of libraries, I’d suggest re-adding an multi-line column with same name in the source library and other 7 libraries, and leave them with default settings. Then test the issue again, this helps us to eliminate the possible cause
with different settings.

    For the last 5 years (and in IPCC3.x/4.x,UCCX/5.x/7.x) I've used the same basic subflow to read a XML document that contains holiday dates where the queue should be closed.  I've re-used this script on 20+ client installs and it's always worked.  The structure of the script allows you to pass the path and filename of the XML document as parameters to the subflow. (The document is in the repository)
    I loaded this script in UCCX 8.0.2 recently and it crashed with a Java.IO error.  It looked like it was trying to read the file system directly and not the repository. (In the Linux appliance model this kind of makes sense but why is the step trying to read the file system directly?)
    So I open a TAC case (SR# 615243125) and TAC tells me that the method of using the Create File Document step is not supported anymore and that I should specify the filename directly in the Create XML Document step
    The problem that I see (aside from having to edit all my scripts that use XML files) is that the Create XML Document step is looking for the input to be a type DOCUMENT and not a type STRING.  This seems to imply that I have to hardcode the document in each script that I deploy for a customer.  When it was a string it was easy to construct the full file path from parameters and pass to the subflow.

    The create XML document input can only be a type DOCUMENT

    #1 Am I missing something here?
    You are mixing two different issues together here.
    The Create File Document step is indeed not needed or supported for creating an XML document. That is why there is a unique step; to trigger XML parsing within the MIVR subsystem.
    Accessing the file system is restricted to a single folder within the VOS model (i.e. 8.0+). This folder is not backed up, replicated, or cleaned up automatically. It was intended to give developers some FS access as a temporary swap location only.
    #2  Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that
    worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely
    function when you're doing everything according to the step reference
    documentation.
    Assume nothing; read the documentation and attend one of the dozens of partner training sessions that CCBU put on advising of the upcoming changes.
    #3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
    You're right, I guess, on the Create File vs. XML Document step. AFAIK Cisco never wrote a notice into the Step Reference Guide explicitly stating that you cannot use the Create File Document although the documentation seemed pretty clear to me without it. File system restrictions are documented in the 8.0 release notes.
    Scripting and Development Series: Volume 2, Editor Step ReferenceUse the Create XML Document step to create a logical document that maps a document to another document variable (where the document has already been pre-parsed as an XML document and is ready to be accessed by the Get XML Document Data step).Use this step before the Get XML Document Data step to obtain data from a document formatted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
    #4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would
    let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in
    the script so you could pass it to a subflow ?  It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8
    No it hasn't; just concatinate a string to build the Source Document parameter the step needs. Example:  "DOC[" + myFilePath + "]"

  • HT1364 I am trying to change the location of my itunes library and the library doesn't copy to the new location.

    I am trying to change the location of my itunes library and the library doesn't copy to the new location.  I followed the steps in the help message (HT1364) exactly but I am not prompted to consolidate in the new location.  Any suggestions?

    Hi ed2345 and diesel vdub,  when I consolidate, the files start copying to the new location and part way through I get a message that the copying failed (-50) even though all of the files are already in place in the new location.  Should I just delete the itunes in the new location and manually copy the files again?  But in itunes, I have indicated that the new location is on the external hard drive but itunes seems to ignore that and still looks for itunes in the original location on my internal hard drive.  I disabled the location of itunes in the old location (by labelling itunes as "itunes old") and it tried to create a new itunes at the old location and prompted me to import music and videos from a CD or other source.  I hope I am making sense.

  • Safari copy url button doesn't work

    I just upgraded from an ipad2 to an iPad air 2. Before, if I wanted to copy and paste a url I'd use the copy button. Now,on the new iPad air 2, the copy button just wipes out whatever I've previously copied, and doesn't copy the url.

    You tap and hold down in the URL field until you get the option to select all. Then you choose the option to select all. An option to Copy appears and you select that and then you should be able to paste that URL into a text field.
    Safari copy url button doesn't work
    I Realize that you must know the steps but I am just double checking. If that is not working for you, and you are not having copy and paste issues elsewhere in other apps, I would try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    Now force close Safari. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Dear ladies and gentlemen!
    I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
    Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner

    The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
    The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

    With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy.   With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy.  Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
    Eureka!!!   Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy.  Hurray!!!

  • SharePoint 2013 - Document Set Capture Version History. Does each version captured for each document set keep a copy of all the document stored in the document set?

    Hi All,
    We have currently encountered an issue where even though version control is turned on in a document library, changes made to the metadata of a document set is not tracked in a version history. 
    We have found that in order to this a user will need to manually click on the capture version history button. 
    With this in mind, we are concerned about the impact of this on our storage. The question we have been trying to answer is whether each document set version:
    stores the change in metadata of the document set and a copy of all the documents stored in the document set
    stores the change in metadata of the document set and a reference to the documents stored in the document set (making use of SharePoint 2013's shredded storage)
    The reason we ask this is that if a document set version stores a copy of all the document stored in a document set, a change in one of the fields in the document set could result in the storage used to grow exponentially. e.g. if the document set contains
    documents totaling 30MB, and if we have 10 versions of the document set, we could take up 300 MB in the content database for just one document set.
    We have tried to some searching around Google but wasn't able to find any answers around this question. Would appreciate some assistance from anyone who has knowledge around how document set version history works. 
    Thanks in advance.
    John

    i had a long thing written out, but submit failed.  suffice to say it does "2".  it only stores the changes with pointers to the documents.

    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

  • New document type to be copied from old document type

    Dear Sir
    i have created one document in document type draw no i want to delete that document from draw and i have to copy its all document to my new docmuent type Z09 please guide how can i do it.
    regards
    kunal

    Hi Kunal,
    normally you cannot just change the document type for a document info record. So you have to create a new document info record of type Z09 and maintain the same data for it in transaction CV01N. Since this new document info record is created you can delete the older wrong document info record which is no longer used.
    Another possibility could be to use a DMS BAPI sequence. Here you can read out the whole data with BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 from the initial document info record. Then you can hand over this data to BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 and change just the document type to Z09. At the end execute BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to create the new document info record in your database tables. Afterwards you should be able to see the new document in transaction CV03N as well with the same data.
    I hope this could be useful for you.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • Copy and paste doesn't work well in Microfsoft Office

    When I want to copy and paste text in a document I select the text with my trackpad. Because I have to do it repetitive and quickly I use the apple c button while my finger is on the trackpad.
    I discovered it is not possible to have your finger on the trackpad and press the apple c button at the same time in Microsoft Office. It will not copy anything. A successful copy/paste action is only possible when your fingers are not at the trackpad.
    Does anyone knows a solution for this? Thanks!

    You should post questions regarding Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as they're geared more toward the issue than a forum for Apple products:

  • Finder copy doesn't copy all files

    I have a dedicated disk for my Aperture masters, and to back this up while also defragging (according to a method described by Kevin J Doyle and Matthew Bergsma on the Aperture forum) I'm simply doing a Finder copy of the masters. I may have made a mistake when I relocated my masters a few months ago, because I put all 40,000 files in a single directory, at the "root" level of the drive.
    I've searched around to see if there is a limit to the number of items in a single directory, and saw guesses but nothing definitive.
    The problem is that when I try to copy the files, the Finder shows all 40,000 selected, but only copies 10,000 or so. I can't figure out why. If needed I can relocate the masters again into project folders, but I'm very curious why I'm seeing the partial copy.
    Rob

    I've got the same problem when copying multiple large files from the desktop to a network drive on Windows Home Server (using drag/drop). The files are about 1gb each, and if I copy more than one at a time, at least one will dissapear on the target machine. This is VERY repeatable.
    When I watch it closely, I can see temporary files for all files appear, and the number of items, and the total size reported in the copy status on the Mac are correct. In fact, it takes about the correct amount of time for the total size copied. However, when the copy is complete, some of the files on the target drive vanish. There is no error dialog, files just go poof. Dragging the missing files again works, as long as no more than one is copied at a time.
    A test with a few small files works fine. This only fails with large files. The total copied is less than 2gb, so this doesn't seem to be a FAT32 problem. There is ample space on the destination drive (over 1Tb free). The Mac is on a wireless 802.11N lan.
