Is it possible to query an Item with two or more conditions in OOB Update List Item WF Step

In SharePoint Designer 2010, in Workflows, is it possible to give more then one condition when querying items? Let me explain, it is fairly easy to drop Update item in this list step, and say, for example, Update item with ID X. However, if is it possible
to do something along this lines with OOB steps, Update an item in this list where Title is Equal to "abc" and Modify date no older then 3 days.
Update: Workflow is started when the item is added to the list. What I would like is to update some fields on this item depending on information in this item and in external list. For example
Current Item Field 1 has value "abc"
Current Item Field 2 has value "123"
Current Item Field 3 has value "456"
External List has Item with value in Field 1 "123"
External List has Item with value in Field 2 "abc"
External List has Item with value in Field 3 "xyz"
Update Current Item Field 3 with value "xyz"
In short I would need following query - Update Current_Item_Field_3 with value from External_List_Field_3 where Field 1 is equal to Current_Item_Field_2 and Field 2 is equal to Current_Item_Field_1

Hi,
From your description, I understand you want to update list item with workflow based on two or more conditions.
To resolve your issue, you need to use “If current item field equals value” condition. Use this condition to compare a field in the current item that the list or reusable list workflow is currently running on to a value. Values can be static text, dynamic
strings, and lookups to variables, context information, or other SharePoint fields. And you can learn more about each condition by referring to the article:
https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Workflow-conditions-in-SharePoint-Designer-2010-A-quick-reference-guide-d8e33ac7-9336-487f-a60b-388c4ea497ff?ui=en-US&rs=en-IN&ad=IN
I assume your External List is called “ListB”, and Current List is called “ListA”, You can follow the steps below:
1. Add “If current item field equals value" for condition that ListB Field2 equals to ListA Field1, then set the second condition “ListB Field1 equal to ListA Field2” as the “Find the List Item” in the “Lookup for Single line of text”
as the screenshot below:
2. Add “Update List Item” as the screenshot below for updating Current_Item_Field_3 with value from External_List_Field_3. In addition, you should set “Find the List Item” in “Lookup for Single line of text” same to the “Find the List Item” in step 1:
In addition, if you have more conditions, you could add “If current item field equals value” condition, and you should set each “Find the List Item” in “Lookup for Single line of text” same to the “Find the List Item” in step 1.

Collect data from User workflow error updating list item

Hi, can someone please help me with WSS 3 workflows?!
I'll keep it simple - I have a workflow step "Collect data from user" that will fail with Unknown Error when attempting to update list item (this is after the user has clicked Complete Task). The workflow does not continue past this step and I have
to terminate the workflow.
What is odd, is that if I do another Collect data from User in the same step but following the 1st collect, both will work!! How can this be?? This proves the 1st collect is OK so why won't it run without another Collect data after it?! Doesn't make sense to
me.
I was just trying the second Collect to troubleshoot the issue. I've tried other actions there but having another Collect does seem to be the action that kicks things into life. Is there a clue here?
Any clues would be much appreciated as I'm not able to turn much up when I Google.
Thanks

Well, surprise, surprise, this has come back (thought it might!). The trace logs show it's a task locked error but I can't see how. Can anyone please provide me with some clues??

SP Designer - Update list item value error

Hi,
I'm making holiday requests with SP designer, and my workflow works well, however, when the manager validation task is created, I would like to add the holiday request's details (such as start date, end date, Employee ID, etc).
So I have a list called "Holiday request" and an associated task list where all the validation tasks are stored.
What I tried was to use the "Update list item" function to update the Employee ID value (in the validation task column I created) with the holiday request's Employee ID value. So what I did was this :
(I initially posted a picture but I cannot, apparently)
The list I work on is the associated task list. I chose the field "Employee ID" and set the value to "Current item : Employee ID".
In my lookup, I've set the associated content field and in the value : "Current Item:Title"
I have also tried to use the Current Item:ID (which would be the Holiday request's ID), but it didn't work either. I've been testing a lot and wanted to know if you guys had any suggestions ?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

Below are steps need to performed to update custom fileds in task form
1. Create custom task content type using SharePoint 2013 workflow task.
2. Add your fields here (start date, end date, Employee ID etc).
3. Make sure this custom task content type is associated with workflow task list.
4. In the assign task activity change the Task content type to your custom task content type.
5.From the single task activity properties uncheck "Wait for Task completion".
The below screenshot i have updated Empid in task form with current list Item id. You can update them according to your requirement.
Hope this helps.

Update List Items using REST API - Keep Getting 400 Bad Request

I am using code from the following answer:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/40833576-5853-4ca4-95cf-b5b1d69f465f/sharepoint-rest-and-c-sample-to-update-list-item?forum=sharepointdevelopment
I am having a tough time figuring out the issue though. I have been able to retrieve list items, but now I want to update those items. This is the following code just to get the digest information with passing in credentials:
public static string GetFormDigest(System.Net.NetworkCredential cred)
string formDigest = null;
string resourceUrl = "https://SITEURL/_api/contextinfo";
HttpWebRequest wreq = HttpWebRequest.Create(resourceUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
wreq.Credentials = cred;
wreq.Method = "POST";
wreq.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
wreq.ContentLength = 0;
wreq.ContentType = "application/json";
string result;
WebResponse wresp = wreq.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wresp.GetResponseStream()))
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var val = jss.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(result);
var d = val["d"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
var wi = d["GetContextWebInformation"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
formDigest = wi["FormDigestValue"].ToString();
Console.WriteLine(formDigest);
return formDigest;
Then the following code is used:
string result = string.Empty;
Uri uri = new Uri(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "/_api/Web/lists/getByTitle('DemoList')/items(1)");
HttpWebRequest wreq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
wreq.Credentials = cred;
wreq.Method = "POST";
wreq.Accept = "application/json; odata=verbose";
wreq.ContentType = "application/json; odata=verbose";
wreq.Headers.Add( "X-HTTP-Method","MERGE");
wreq.Headers.Add( "IF-MATCH", "*");
wreq.Headers.Add("X-RequestDigest", GetFormDigest(cred));
string stringData = "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Data.DemoListListItem' }, 'Title': 'updated!'}";
wreq.ContentLength = stringData.Length;
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(wreq.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(stringData);
writer.Flush();
try {
WebResponse wresp2 = wreq.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wresp2.GetResponseStream()))
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: '{0}'", e); }
It errors out when it tries to send the command to Sharepoint. I am NOT using a sharepoint hosted app. I just wanted to directly contact sharepoint and update items. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Priyank

I just found some other code that seemed to work on editing a title and edited it kind of guessing it would work and it did!
This is the code that ended working using the same digest code from above:
Console.WriteLine("\n Newer Fancier Code \n");
Uri uri = new Uri("https://SHAREPOINTURL/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Demo')/items(1)");
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
request.ContentType = "application/json;odata=verbose";
request.Headers["X-RequestDigest"] = GetFormDigest(cred);
request.Headers["X-HTTP-Method"] = "MERGE";
request.Headers["IF-MATCH"] = "*";
request.Credentials = cred;
request.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
request.Method = "POST";
string stringData = "{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItem' }, 'Location': 'updatedinfo' }";
request.ContentLength = stringData.Length;
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(stringData);
writer.Flush();
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
Just fyi if anyone was wondering. Next, I'm going to be trying to update multiple fields, possibly multiple items if possible if anyone knows how to do that.

How to update list item using client object model without changing created/modified dates?

Hello All,
I want to update list item using the SharePoint Client Object
Model without updating the created / modified date. Is it possible?
Please help.
Thanks.

Using the SystemUpdate method should do the trick, according
to its literature.
Additionally, would something like this be of any use for you? Taken from this

Update list item with multiple lookup

I want to write a workflow to append project name (from list project) to a lookup column (mutiple value) in another list. I use update list item and put follwing string in multiple lookup column:
[%CurrentItem:ID%];#[%Current Item: Project%]
I find the lookup column will be replaced always with new project name. But I want to append the project name to existing vaule. How can I do that?

thank you for the replying. I have just solved this issue. I save the string every time in a column and append the project name in the string column and put the whole string in mutiple lookup column. then the new value will be appended in lookup column. it
seems like followings:
1. time: ID1;#Project1
2. time: ID1;#project1;#ID2;#project2
3. time: ID1;#project1;ID2;#project2;#ID3;#project3

For Example:
My list Element will repesent my Business Services like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Exchange Mailbox, Client, Server......

How to update list item metadata?

I want to implement lists.asmx > UpdateListItems method. In the update method (the caml) i would like to use barcode as a filter instead of item ID. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms440289(v=office.14).aspx
How would my caml look like?
<Batch OnError="Continue" ViewName="CA28BFCC-4CCE-4EF8-B08F-7824535E13FC">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<Field Name='BarCode'>6061114511</Field>
<Field Name="Title">New Title 2</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>

Hi ,
You cannot use barcode as a filter instead of item ID by using OOTB list.asmx. You could build your own custom web service that uses the either the SPQuery class or linq and gather the items based on
a particular field value.
For more information, please take a look at the thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/af23f9f0-2640-474c-9616-522fcb639029/listserviceupdatelistitems-update-reference-field?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
I recommend that you update list items with listdata.svc.

i just can't find anywhere to help me on the web with workflows, I am very new to this.
I have 2 custom lists.
First list, 3 columns:
'date received' (date)
'student name' (text field)
'hearing' (yes/no)
When a new item is added, I enter text for student name and the date. Then I set 'hearing' to yes or no.
If yes, I would like a workflow to copy the student name for to the second list.
In the second list, I have 2 columns (so far):
'student name' (text field)
'student number' (text field)
I just have no idea where to start to do this. Could someone please help?
Thanks.

Hi ,
If you mean that you don't want to create duplicate items in list2 when you edit the item in list1 mutiple time, you can try adding another "if" condition contained within your above "if" block to determin if the current
item "student name" equals to "student name" from list2, if yes then update the that item in list2, if no, then crate a new item in list2.

Tutorial on how to update list items using ListData.svc

Can you please point me to a tutorial which shows how to update a list item using listdata.svc and C#?
Sorry if this is FAQ.
I have found articles on read list... but I haven't found anything on update a list item.
val it: unit=()

when i try this I get an error 500
I created an ASP.NET web application that allows the user to modify data that is stored in SharePoint I rather not go into the reasons why this application was created but focus more on why doesn't the listdata.svc allow me to update a task item that was
created by a workflow collect data from user action.
1. The workflow creates the item.
I collect the item and update the item using the below code. This is not an OOTB approval workflow that is just the name I used. When I get to save changes I received the following error code.
Dim getApprovalItem As ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksItem = spContext.ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasks.Where(Function(i) i.Id = Pam.ApprovalItemID).FirstOrDefault
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(getApprovalItem.AuditorApprovalValue) Then
getApprovalItem.AuditingComments = approvalComments
Select Case approvalDecision
Case "Approved"
getApprovalItem.AuditorApproval = ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksAuditorApprovalValue.CreateExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksAuditorApprovalValue("Approved")
getApprovalItem.AuditorApprovalValue = "Approved"
Case "Rejected"
getApprovalItem.AuditorApproval = ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksAuditorApprovalValue.CreateExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksAuditorApprovalValue("Rejected")
getApprovalItem.AuditorApprovalValue = "Rejected"
End Select
getApprovalItem.Outcome = "Completed"
getApprovalItem.Status = ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksStatusValue.CreateExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksStatusValue("Completed")
getApprovalItem.StatusValue = "Completed"
getApprovalItem.Complete = True
spContext.UpdateObject(getApprovalItem)
spContext.SaveChanges()
End If

Access denied error when user saves updated list item

After upgrading a site collection from Sharepoint 2010 to 2013, users with Contribute and Manage Lists permissions cannot save changes to items in lists. All permissions appear to be inherited correctly by the list and when running a permission check for
the user it returns the expected results. I also tried setting the list to use custom permissions but that didn't help. The logs show the following error when trying to save an item:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
A Sharepoint Designer form is used to edit the items so I don't know if that is related to the issue. After the upgrade the form would not load and was giving a different error until I opened it in Designer 2013 and saved it again. Editing items as a farm
administrator user works OK.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the users cannot update the list items after migrating to SharePoint 2013.
Please check this article:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg251985.aspx.
This is taken from that article:
"Users who submit valid credentials when accessing the migrated web application might be notified that they do not have permissions. If this occurs, the portalsuperuseraccount property and the portalsuperreaderaccount property of the web application
were probably configured prior to migration. If this is the case, update the portalsuperuseraccount property and the portalsuperreaderaccount property to use the new claims-based account name. After migration, you can find the new claims-based account name
in the web application policy for the migrated web application."
Please update these accounts use the following PowerShell script to see if the issue still occurs:
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication "http://<server>/"
$webApp.Properties["portalsuperuseraccount"] = "i:0#.w|domain\superuser"
$webApp.Properties["portalsuperreaderaccount"] = "i:0#.w|domain\superreader"
$webApp.Update()
Best regards.

Help needed in list item...need to display employee of a selected dept

Hi All,
I am very beginner in D2K technology.I am using 10g Forms.
Could you please help me...
I have created a list item which contains dept_id=10,20,30....
My requirement is when i will change the value of dept_id(select dept_id=20),the employees belong to that dept will display(need to display 5 employees of dept 20).
I hav created two block--block2 and block3
In block2,there is a list item
In block3,there is a display item and i changed the properties number of record displayed to 10 of the block.
I atteched a trigger when-list-changed and the code is :

okk..well still i don't know the purpose of the form on which you are working why not the database block for emp?..but the requirement you are asking can be done through following code...
Trigger - WHEN-LIST-CHANGED
DECLARE
CURSOR F_Cur IS
    SELECT ename
    FROM emp
    WHERE deptno = :list_item_name;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLOCK3');
FIRST_RECORD;
CLEAR_BLOCK;
FOR G_CUR IN F_CUR LOOP
    :block3.item_name:=G_CUR.ename;
    NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
FIRST_RECORD;
END;
Note: in the BLOCK3 there should be one item navigable by cursor. I mean if block3 is having only one item which is name item and it is display item then GO_BLOCK built-in will not work. So, you will need to create one more in block3 or make that name item as text item and set update_allowed to NO from the items' property.

Help with Multiselect List Item

Assuming one employee can work for multiple departments, I want to display the departments employee 7844 works for preselected in a multiselect list.
I am using the following query statement in a report region.
select htmldb_item.select_list_from_query_xl(1, deptno ,'select DEPTNO,DNAME from scott.dept ','MULTIPLE HEIGHT=25', 'Y',null,null,null,'Department',null) a from scott.emp where empno = 7844
The result I am seeing is a multiple multiselect lists with one department selected in each list.
How should I modify the query to get what I want?
Thanks

Hi Carlos,
I set up a test case in exactly the same way and it worked fine for me. I created a page item called P1_DA_DEMO and added some static select list values then added some help text. The settings I used are below, I suggest you try again but also make sure you have no other Javascript errors on the page. Use a tool like firebug to check.
Name : Dynamic Action Demo
Sequence: 10
Even: Click
Selection type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_DA_DEMO <- a selection list item
Condtion: - No Condition -
True Actions
Sequence: 10
Action : Execute JavaScript Code
Fire when event result is :True
Fire on page load: Not Ticked
Code: javascript:popupFieldHelp('277938589795252851','1545903379570909')
Event Scope set a s Bind.
Thanks
Paul
