what's the content of EntityName and SubFName variables? can you write them to history log to proof check?

doesn't they contain slash character already?

Hi Marian,

Here Entity Name variable is for main folder, and subFName variable is for subfolder for Entity Name column in the same list.

In History log i am getting values for variables. there is no slash character. I am giving it in subfolder path.

Thanks,
Santhosh.

do you create folders in a loop?

can you try to create 2-3 folder levels with standalone create item actions?

Hi Marian,

I didn't create folders in a loop. Actually i need a folder and inside one sub folder only. And I have created Around 30 main folders and and every subfolder it's creating with main folder name.

Thanks,

Santhosh.

Hi Marian,

It's working with "Create item in another site" action. now it's creating folder and subfolder nicely. Thank you for your suggestions.
