Hello All,

 

I have a Calendar list (A). I have used Save list as template to create a second Calendar list - Archive (B), Created a site workflow to move the items from List A to archive list B based on some date condition (I am triggering the workflow manually for testing the workflow)

This is the error that i am getting - "The workflow could not copy the item.  Make sure the source and destination lists have the same columns and column settings."

I am using the same workflow on 5 other lists and libraries - Everything is working perfectly with those

 

This is a SharePoint 2013 environment.

I have seen couple of other posts similar in this community - None of them worked for me

 

Any inputs are really appreciated.!

 

Thanks.!!

    Is the workflow running on any other Calendars or only lists and libraries?

    The workflow that is not working now is a Calendar list

    The workflows that are working are from different lists and libraries(Not the calendar list)

     

    --Thanks for the response.!

    This approach worked for me http://www.vadimtabakman.com/nintex-workflow-copying-a-calendar-event-to-another-calendar.aspx - By using "create item" instead of "copy item".!!

     

    But please let me know if this is still achievable using a "copy item" action 

    Thankyou.!

    From what I recall the create item needs to be used on Calendars but as you can reference a current item it works very much like copying, the only difference is the action needs a little more configuring.
