I have Sharepoint On Prem 2013 - Nintex Workflow 2013.
I have Site A with List A and Site B with List B, and I need to copy the contents of Site A/ List A to Site B/ List B.  There are 61 items to be copied.  When configuring Create Item in Another Site, it stops letting me add new items after 50 have be loaded.  The 50 actually do copy correctly.
Is there a hard stop after 50 items here?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Are you able to clarify the statment "it stops letting me add new items".
What happens? Does the workflow error.

When I select the 51st Field, it fails to appear and the end of the list. There was no error message, it just would't add the new field.

When I run the workflow, the 50 fields were successfully copied to the other site.  I have an error handler to email me any errors.  The error handler works fine, it caught a couple of data type mismatces as I was loading the 50 fields and testing the workflow. There were no runtime errors after I tried to add the 51st field.

Your thoughts?
Thanks for your help.

Didn't know the action had a limit on the number of columns that could be configured.
Are you not able to do the 50 and then the rest using an update item action?

I deleted it and re-created it, and it worked.  Go figure...
