Workflow Start automatically for particular item of list

Hi,
I have created workflow using visual studio for custom list. My workflow type is manually start not start on Item create and change.
I want to start workflow only when the start date of the custom list is same date of today. for this which steps I need to follow that run workflow in background and start workflow for particular item whose start date is satisfied with today's date?

Hello,
You need to create event receiver on (i.e. ItemAdded and ItemUpdated)that list to start WF via code when condition is satisfied. I had similar requirement in past and this is what i did.
You may refer below link to see sample code:

Create Multiple tasks for Single Item in List using state machine workflow in sharepoint

Hi,
I want to create multiple create tasks for Single Item in List based on Assigned to column using state machine Workflow through visual studio
Here Assigned to column allows multiple users. so i have to create task for every user based on column .
I'm trying for this but i didn't got any solution
Please provide solution for this.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to allow multiple users to approve.
There are some articles about creating parallel tasks in state machine workflow, you can have a look at them.

Sudhir.B

The answer is:
Using the Items Object of the DI, set yourself to the correct line and set the locked property.
for(i=0;i<oItem.WhsInfo.Count;i++)
     oItem.WhsInfo.SetCurrentLine(i);
     if(oItem.WhsInfo.WarehouseCode == "CodeOnTheForm")
          oItem.WhsInfo.Locked = SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum.tYES;

Workflow does not start automatically on create item (yet another time)

The topic has been discussed broadly throughout different forums, but I didn't find the solution to my issue yet and hope you can help me out with ideas to sidestep the difficulties created by Microsoft.
I have one list 1 in Site Collection A, and one list 2 in Site Collection B (PWA site collection). I need to copy an item from list 1 to list 2 with some values. I use a "Call http web service" action to accomplish
that as I need to copy informatin cross site collections.
The "Call webservice" is in an App Step, because the user creating an item in list 1 does not have permissions on list 2. Thus, my item is created "by workflow" (not "by System Account") in list 2. Now I need a second
workflow to start on list 2 which will create a project in Project Server.
As I am working across 2 site collections, I can not use a SharePoint 2010 workflow with impersonation step for list 1 as the "Call a webservice" action is not available for SP2010 workflows and "Copy item" only works in the same site.
In Nintex I can impersonate the web service call - is this also somehow possible for SPD2013 workflows? Or is there any other possibility to get over this silly restriction of workflows not starting automatically on System account created items? Someway
perhaps to tweak the App Step in impersonating with another user account?
Any help appreciated!
I really can't understand, that this common requirement is still not solved by Microsoft :-( I found more threads on the topic than I can count, so this seems to happen quite often... at least they should finally offer a proper way of doing some kind
of impersonation with the calls so we have a chance to change the creating user account.

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to use workflow to copy list items cross site collection.
So far it is not supported with OOB workflow option, here is an codeplex workaround:

Please check if it can be help.

Hi Vikas,
Please check and make sure your User Profile service and User Profile Synchronization service are running, then start a full user profile sync to make sure your users are in user profile service, then check if the workflow is still auto canceled for those
two users with contribute permission.
Here are some similar posts for your reference.

Need default value to populate for existing items in list column.

I have a list that I have been working with for a while. I recently added a new column and made it a choice type with a drop down list. I have set the default value to "Not Started" (an option in my drop down list) but it seems it will only
populate for new items created in the list, not existing ones as well. Is there any way to have it populate for the existing items as well? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Russ,
You can do so by opening the list in the datasheet view and paste "Not Started" for all items in the new column you have created.

SPD Workflow will not start automatically for the first entry in a list on any given day (subsequent entries start just fine)

Hi. I have various workflows on various lists that share a common issue. The first entry of the day on that list will not start the workflow automatically. We have SharePoint 2013 Foundation. This same issue occurred when we had SharePoint 2010
as well. Interestingly, I had read about a 'fix' by adding a 5 minute pause at the start of every workflow which worked fine for a while. Now I happened to find that this is no longer working (after I see a bunch of workflows that didn't fire over the past
month - ugh!).
I know I'm not the only one with this issue as I ran across others with the issue when I first researched it and found the 'pause fix' a year or so ago and I also talked with someone else during a SP seminar who used this same fix. NOTE: These
are end users creating the items. It is not logged as a system account.
Any help would be appreciated. I have a SharePoint developer I can hire if this is beyond my ability to fix. I just need some guidance (last time I inquired they weren't aware of this issue).

Can you also advise if these are complicated workflows or high traffic lists?

Workflow in SharePoint 2013: Update item in list

I have a task list where anyone can post a suggestion for a blog. There is a string field for the status.
I have a library where the author can upload the blog article when ready to send for review. Uploading the document triggers the workflow to start. This document is reviewed twice and when the author is satisfied it will go for translation and then for web
publication.
All of this is worked out in the workflow except for one thing: I would like to update the task list at each stage of the process to the current status. Since it can all be done programmatically, I don't need to use a "choice" field. The string
field would be just fine. One of the things I saw in my research is that "choice" fields won't update.
I have put a lookup field in the blog article library to correspond with the title in the task list to create a relationship.
First of all, is it possible to do to update a task from a document library, or am I just spitting in the wind? If so, why doesn't it work?

which specific field you want to update after task approval. Did you create a content type based on workflow task (SharePoint 2013) and associated that particular content type with your task list?
I repeat my question - do you want to update task list after the task execution or just after assignment?
If its just after assignment then I think its not possible OOB and if its after the execution of the task then its doable OOB since there are two variables set as task out i.e. task outcome and TaskID (guid of the current task list item) and from that TaskID
you can lookup the task list item and update any field.

Create Sharepoint 2013/2010 Modal Forms for New Items, Multiple Lists

I have a main page with 4 buttons. Each button is linked to a different list. My question is: how can I make it so that when a user clicks on a button, the new item form pops up? And then, once submitted, the new item form closes and the user is once again
looking at just the mina page?
I have seen many suggestions on the web for multiple buttons with one list, but not any for multiple buttons for multiple lists.
I am relatively new to JQuery/coding, so if you have an answer please explain it in detail (think "Coding for Dummies," or some such format). I use a JQuery Doc. Library, and a Content Editor to reference to the specific JQuery I want to use.
That is about as far as I have gotten on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Cameron,
I do have access to InfoPath. How would I do it through there? If it's easy and already designed within the program, I would much rather do that!
As for the link you gave me - would you mind explaining it to me? I clicked on it and read the blog, but I'm confused on these things:
1) How do I use the code to apply to 4 different lists, each attached to it's own button?
2) I have the buttons already put on the page - how do I connect the code to said buttons?
3) How would I make sure that each pop up closed upon form submission?
I really appreciate your help! Thank you!

Workflow: Select Reason for rejection from dropdown list.

Hi all
I have to create a step where the Manager has to select the
Reason for Rejection from a dropdown list refering to a custom
parameter table maintained from t-code sm30.
Please post your suggestions on this.
Thanks for your time,
Mallik

Thanks for your Reply,
But It doesn't seem to work because It has to display a (table parameter) field containing the predefined Reasons for Rejection(dropdown list or more like search
help) from which the supervisor has to select one and it has to be attached and sent as a mail.
thanx

Approval Workflow does not update the Content Approval status if started automatically

Hi,
I’m using a simple Approval Workflow associated with
Content Approval on site pages. It works fine when I set it to be started manually (by using
Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions
option) and on the completion of the workflow the
Content Approval status is updated accordingly. But when I set it to be started automatically (by using
Start this workflow when a new item is created
/ Start this workflow when an item is changed
options), it does not updates the Content Approval status. Note that I’ve set the
Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)
option to true.
Regards

Hello,
It is recommended to select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" when you want to use the workflow to manage content approval for
a library.
According to the Notes for “Enable Content Approval” option in
this reference:
If you are using this Approval workflow to manage content approval (moderation) for a library, and you selected the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version
of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page..
If you did not select the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page because you do not want this workflow to
be the default content approval workflow for a library, you can select the Update the approval status (use this workflow to control content approval) check box to make this workflow a secondary content approval workflow that specific users can
start manually.
That means having an approval workflow start automatically when a document is changed or created is not a good practice when you want to use the workflow to manage
content approval for a library. You should either select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" or give users the option to start the workflow manually at the time they want to submit for an approval.
Thanks & Regards.
