+2I have created a new column on SharePoint list to overcome the Nintext workflow history to be deleted by time job, How do I Batch copy historical Nintext workflow status value to newly created coloumn? Do I need run the modified workflow manually on all historical list data or there is a way to automate it. Could you please provide me the steps or any sample such as looing the list and update each.
Many thanks in advance.
+17Erkin,
Are you simply trying to capture the status of the workflow and copy that to a SharePoint field instead of the Workflow Status column?
There are two ways to do this in a batch approach. You should be able to open the list in datasheet view and I would copy the column and paste the data - this is the easiest approach.
Secondly, you could create a workflow to run against an item, capture the status field and copy that to another field. I don't recommend this as its resource intensive for copying data in a batch process. However, you may want this workflow to run in the future against a single item as its created or updated.
Does that help?
