Need 2 metadata fields from item I am running a approval workflow on to show up on the task list

I have document library "A" that contains many documents with 6 columns of metadata. I have a simple approval workflow for the library that works as it should in functionality. My users would like it if 2 fields of metadata from the items in library
"A" would show up in the Task list so they could track the tasks by the 2 fields. Can anyone point me in the right direction here to make this happen? Working in SP2010 with Designer 2010 and IP 2010.
Thanks

Hi Ross,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display two managed metadata fields in the associated tasks created in the approval workflow.
I recommend to edit the approval workflow in SharePoint Designer and new two task fields to display the two managed metadata fields.
Here are the detailed steps:
Open the approval workflow in SharePoint Designer and click Approval in Start Approval Process step.
Click New to create two task form fields in single line of text type.
Click Change the behavior of a single task under Customization.
In Before a Task is Assigned step, select Set Task Field under Task Behavior Actions and then set the newly created task form fields to get the values in the managed metadata fields of current item.
Please refer to the picture below(create a task form field called Managed Metadata for example and mm is the managed metadata column in the list):
Best regards.
Thanks

Error occurs when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 workflow for a tasks list that updates a list item column if the Date Complete <= Today's date & Percentage Complete = 100%
I used 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow & the values are updated in the list for the current item.
However, when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013, then I get a error "We can't write task - taskname to the SharePoint site. This is either because tasks list is in read only mode or because this task has a column
that requires unique value."
If I remove the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow, then the error does not occur. However, the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow is required.
Please provide solution to this issue ASAP. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jack,
A shot in the dark here. I'm not convinced the error is from the workflow. What is the definition of the list item column in SharePoint? Have you set the column to requiring a unique vale? Look at the column definition.

I have two lists. The first is "Tasks", second is "Journal". I need a "Create Journal Entry" link in the Tasks list. How do I do that?

Let's say I have a Task named "Build SSIS for Duke Energy" and it has another column called Active. Now every day I look at my task list and If I worked on that task I want to create a Journal entry of what I have done. So from the Task
list I'd like a third column that calls the "Journal Entry" list's new form page and pass it in the ID of the task. I have found several TextToHtml scripts out there, but they have to be stored in a script library, and then sourced to a content
editor web part. The problem is they don't fire when I have my list grouped. In addition to, every time someone creates a new view, I have to go in and add the Content Editor web part, point to the script....
Any thoughts. It is the grouped view that really bug me.

Hi,
If you only want to add a hyperlink to create a Journal entry in the task list, I recommend to add a Hyperlink column in the task list and then create workflow to update the column.
You can follow the steps as below:
Open the task list, add a hyperlink column named Create Journal Entry.
Create a workflow associated to the task list, start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add actions as below:
Then when a task is created in the task list, the workflow will be stared automatically to update the “Create Journal Entry” column.
Thanks,
Jason

Import List Items with Managed Metadata Field from CSV File

Hello,
I try to import list items from a CSV File. Most of the fields are populating correctly except the Managed Metadata Field. I found multiple examples on how to set Managed Metadata Fields with Powersehll, but unfortunately I couldnt get it running.
The CSV File holds values for the Metadata Column, this value should be checked against the Metadata in the Termstore. If this Term is existent, then it should set the fields value, if it is not existant then it should add the term from the CSV File to the
Term Set in the Term Store. Can anybody give me a tip on how to do this? This is what I have, where Line 4 holds the Metadata:
$Siteurl = "http://siteUrl"
$Rootweb = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.Spsite($Siteurl);
$Webapp = $Rootweb.Webapplication
$listName = "Catalogue"
$listWeb = Get-SPWeb $Siteurl
$list = $listWeb.Lists[$listName]
$pfad1 = "c:\temp\Servers.csv"
$content = import-csv -Delimiter ";" -Path $pfad1
foreach ($line in $content) {
$newItem = $list.Items.Add()
$newItem["Field 1"] = $line.1
$newItem["Field 2"] = $line.2
$newItem["Field 3"] = $line.3
$newItem["Field 4"] = $line.4
$newItem.Update()
write-host $line.Title imported
Thanks!!

Hi Jimmie,
From your description, when importing list from csv to SharePoint site, you would like to compare if Managed Metadata column exists in term store, and return yes value, if not, add it to term store.
That might need script to achieve. You need to import list at first, then get value from term store, and compare with the list. Change the list field per comparison result, then add new value to term store.
However, there might some workaround to meet your requirement. Not surly understand, so I find some references for you:
If you would like to export Term Set to CSV from SharePoint 2013, then you could compare it:

Attributing certain metadata fields from FCs to file exports

Hello
I am looking to encode predefined, personalised metadata fields that are in FCs into the header of exported FCs files. Example, I have hundreds of files from castings and I want to keep certain non-technical info that is in FCs DB, in the header of the file, like the name, age, date etc. H264 as it seems to be reasonably metadata friendly.
I can't seem to find anything that defines this in the exports.
Any ideas are very welcome.

Take a look at
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
it may be possible to programmatically write EXIF tags to the quicktime
files.
Hope this helps.

Metadata Field from Service

Hi all,
I have a question...
Is it possible to create a custom metadata field, based on the results of a SEARCH_RESULTS service??
If it is, how can i do it??
What i want is to have a combo, displaying the results of a SEARCH_RESULTS service and after the user chooses, just save the text in the field.
Thanks in advance

Hi there.
Yes it is possible.
Like most things in UCM there are several ways to do this. But first some clarification
Are you looking to save the selections in a field or to display a field with dynamic selections?
Both are possible but different.
if you're looking to save the selections in a generic field then you can do this by creating a "generic" metadata field that can hold CSV or other delimited values. Because display of the metadata field is completely governed by the service parameters you can display this however you wish. I have seen folks change the field label, the field contents, the field position, and even if it is visible or not with some business logic parameters. You can do this all in profiles with some (admittedly advanced) configuration.
If you are looking to display a field with dynamic selections then I would use either a DCL structure where the options are populated with a result set from a service execution or a rule that derives values for the field based on some additional business logic (idocscript). The nice thing about either of these options is that they are completely scriptable which opens up any kind of slicing / dicing you wish (pulling data from an external server or web service? no problem).
If you are in the customization realm then you can use the loadMetaOptionsLists service to load your list with your results and then display in a combo box.
Warmly,

HT4623 Need to update from 4.3.3 to ios 5 or 6 but don't see the 'Software update' on my General settings please help

I have tried everything I can think of to update my iPad folloowing online instructions but am stumped at the 1st hurdle with the settings - general - there is no Update software anywhere in the various lists.

Assuming you have iOS 4.3 as your tagline suggests. You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
In the article you came from scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes

How, on the ipod touch 5th gen, can you get rid of songs in the songlist? I restored from a stolen ipod touch 4th gen, and now there is a bunch of crap that is not even mine on this thing. The songs only show up in the songs listing.

I had my last ipod stolen, when I got the 5th Gen I restored from my old ipod from itunes and now there is a bunch of crap on there that I don't want, but the songs only show up on the ipod so I can not delete them off of the ipod from itunes. Any quick fixes to remove the unwanted songs, or do I have to start over completely?

Do they play on the iPod?
If not then they are corrupted.
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.

If the other is larger than about 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted file.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Need a driver for a HP Colour laser Jet 1600. This does not appear on the apple list. can anyone suggest where i get a driver from?

This driver does not appear in the apple search list.
Any ideas on where i can locate a driver.

Try the HP site. Apple's drivers come from the printer vendors.
Don't be all that surprised if there isn't an updated driver available; HP don't support superceded models with updates for every OS update.

Firefox 4 download will not start after the download is complete. It just doesn't run (Windows Vista), and can't be found in the program list. Solutions?

I have tried to open it both as the original user and as administrator. Nothing happens after I indicate that it should open

I was able to work the problem out by logging in as administrator. When the download was finished and extracted, a choice was offered to save rather than run. So I saved it on the desktop, and then right clicked on the icon, and selected "run as administrator". It then ran and installed with no problem.
