+6I have 2 lists - List A is a list of courses with an a field related to it called Category.
List B is a registration list which has a lookup field with a list of courses in List A.
Once this field, Course Name, is selected in List B, I would like the workflow to add the category form List A automatically. I have a workflow related to List B so can add an action here.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Renee,
I understood that you have a List of registrations for courses. During registration you pick a course from a list, which is implemented by a lookup column. A course consists of a course name and a category. When selecting a course by name you want also the category of the course be shown. Is that correct?
If so, you can place a Calculated Value control on your form and let it look up the category based on the selection made in course dropdown, like here:
The category will be updated each time you make a selection in course dropdown.
To achieve this open the calculated value control and add the lookup() function from the runtime functions section.
Configure it the following way: lookup("name of your list", "ID", "The name of your course selection control", "The name of your category column"). In my sample the configuration looks like this:
lookup("Courses", "ID", Course, "Category")
Would that be helpful?
Best regards
Enrico
do you insist on workflow?
this can be easily achieved with pure sharepoint's functionality - in course name lookup list field configuration (in list B) you should see block 'Add a column to show each of these additional field'. with that you can configure what additional listA's fields should be visible in listB
