How to update a list item through Sharepoint Designer Workflow?

Hi,
I have a created a list, in which "Completion date" column is there.
Now I want to update column "Completion Date" through SPD, specifies value(date) after 10 days of created date of a record in list.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can use the "Build Dynamic String" action to convert the date field to a string,
And use string comparison to determine if the date is blank
For more information, please refer to

How to update selected list items in SharePoint 2010?

Hello All
I have a list containing field named "Category". I want to develope a solution which will take two inputs: Old Category and New Category. The expected result is: all the list items will be fetched which have Old Category input value in
their category field and the field is replaced with the input value New Category.
I have a limitation that I can not use Visual Studio. So I am thinking to create aspx page with content editor webpart. But I am new to all these things. Could you please suggest the development approach for this?
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't think CEWP can help you because you won't be able to find old and new category when there is any change in list. However you can identify the latest modified item from list but how will you identify whether category is old or new. If you have any
other column in list which can tell you that category value has been updated then you can write ECMA or Jquery script to update other items.
If have any column in list then see below jquery code, where you will see how to query the list: (In my case it is Active)
var soapEnv = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><soapenv:Body><GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'>";
soapEnv += "<listName>Highlights</listName>";
soapEnv += "<query><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Active' /><Value Type='Text'>Yes</Value></Eq></Where><OrderBy Override='TRUE'><FieldRef Name='Modified' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy></Query></query>";
soapEnv += "<viewFields><ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Title'/><FieldRef Name='ows_FileLeafRef'/><FieldRef Name='Links'/></ViewFields></viewFields><rowLimit></rowLimit>";
soapEnv += "</GetListItems></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>";
Please comment if i misunderstood you?

Workflow - how to update multiple list items

Is it possible to update up to 3 list items with the same information using a workflow? My scenario is where a company vehicle (registration number) has up to three drivers assigned to it - Driver Name 1, Driver Name 2 and Driver Name 3. I
have two separate lists - one for vehicles (fleet list) and one for drivers (driver database). In my workflow when an item is created or changed in the fleet list, I would like the current vehicle registration to be updated in all three driver records
in the driver database. I am not sure if I can do this as I am unsure of what my unique look up would be as I need to be able to tie a vehicle registration to a driver name. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

hi friends
so far i was adding jquery code to script editor webpart in custom list form.
but i need to know how to add .js link in custom list form through sharepoint designer 2013

Hi,
We can add the "JS Link Property" in the “WebPart” node in the custom list form page through SharePoint designer 2013.
Here is an example for your reference:
<JSLink xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm">~site/Style Library/js/custom.js</JSLink>
Noticed that, we should not lose the 'xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm' attribute.

Hi Azamat,
This you can do by using SharePoint Designer workflow.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow and invoke that when new item will create in the list Employee
OnBoards.
then use Copy List item action to copy employee name to employee on board task list.

How to delete a list item in Sharepoint 2007 via SOAP?

I am looking to delete a list item using soap web services. I am using the Lists.asmx web service.
The XML looks like this:
<Batch OnError="Continue" ListVersion="1">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Delete">
<Field Name="ID">7</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
I got this from the msdn docs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.updatelistitems%28v=office.12%29.aspx
And I am using the Lists.UpdateListItems Method.
I am doing this in python and python has a library, suds for this purpose. However I get this exception:

Update a list item after a task is completed

Hi,
I have a sharepoint workflow, where I am creating a workflow and the workflow steps involves assigning a task. How do I Update a list item after the task is completed? So after the task assignment step, how do I check that the task is completed so I can
update a list item?
Please help.

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to update a list item after a task is completed in SharePoint Designer workflow.
By default, the workflow will stuck at a “Assign a task” action. When the “Task Status” become “Completed”, other actions afterwards will go on.
Here is a demo about how to update a list item after a task is completed in my environment:
You can follow the steps above to make a test in your environment to see if this is what you want.

Copy ID from one library to list using sharepoint designer workflow 2013

Hello,
I am new In SharePoint Designer workflow.
I want to copy ID [by default] from one SharePoint Library to SharePoint List by using SharePoint Designer workflow 2013.
So Please provide me any solution on it.
Thanks,
Samadhan.

Hi Bjorn,
Please create a workflow based on SharePoint 2010 platform, there is OOB action "Copy List Item" which can copy attachment to another list.
Then use "Update List Item" action to update fields value for the new item. In this action, we could use Item title to locate the newly created item. For your reference：
However, we cannot make this workflow to start automatically. As workaround, we could use SharePoint Designer to create a Custom Action in the Source List and initiate the workflow. In my test, I created a Custom Action in the type of List Item Menu. Then
the custom action would appear in the Item ellipsis dropdown menu:

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/websvclists.lists.updatelistitems(v=office.15).aspx ]
There is another note in the conference (marked answered) to your List Item Update problem. Probably worth a try too. [refer

Update existing list item value in sharepoint using web service code

I have the below code which I am trying to run for updating the list item value. "Settings" is the list name and the item in this list is having index of 1.
Main()
        ListsSoapClient client = new ListsSoapClient();
        client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
        client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
        string strListName = "Settings";
        client.Open();
        XElement listData = client.GetList(strListName);
        string listID = listData.Attribute("ID").Value;
        string version = listData.Attribute("Version").Value;
        // string version = listData.Attribute("View").Value; Doesnt work
        // Method 1 : Make the call to SharePoint
        var listItems = client.GetListItems(strListName, null, null, null, null, null, null);
        List<XElement> results = listItems.Descendants().ToList();
        XElement updateItem = results[1];
        updateItem.SetAttributeValue("ows_Value", "value to update");
        client.UpdateListItems(strListName, updateItem); //Didnt work

        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
        System.Xml.XmlElement elBatch = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Batch");
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("OnError","Continue"); //Not mandatory ?

        elBatch.InnerXml = strBatch;
        client.UpdateListItems(strListName, XmlElementToXelement(elBatch)); //doesnt work
        client.Close();
   public static XElement XmlElementToXelement(XmlElement e)
        return XElement.Parse(e.OuterXml);
How do we get the ViewName value of the list using code ? why is it not mandatory in Method 2. At the end of the method1 i am getting the below exception.How do I fix this ?

Please guide me without visual web part can we acheive this by Sharepoint designer 2013 or what would be the preferable solution.
Please help me on this as it is very urgent from me..
Thanks in Advance
Sowjanya G

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update the list item in the same sharepoint list with particular condition with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I recommend to create workflow associated to the list and then start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
In the workflow, you can add condition and actions as below:
If current item: C equal to Test1
Set E to Test2
Then the value of the filed E will be changed based on the value of the filed C.
In addition, if you create the form using InfoPath, you can add rule to the filed C as below:

How to find item is updating in Sharepoint designer workflow?

Is there anyway we can get when list item updating in sharepoint designer workflow?. I have status ="New" it is need to send only one time when new item created.
But now it is sending emails when item is updating with status="New". So I want check if it is new then only check status="New" and send email. otherwise No.
ItsMeSri SP 2013 Foundation

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to send email in workflow only when the item is created and the status is New.
For this issue, I suggest you create a new Yes/No column called “Edited”, and set the default value to No. When you edit it after creation, change the column to Yes.
You can set the workflow like the screenshot:
