Hi all

 

2 Questions please.

  1. I have a workflow set up and scheduled to run @ 6am each day. It looks at another list within the site and pulls information items created within the last 24 hours. Ideally, I would like it to pick up any item that was created in the 24 hours from 6am the prior day to 6am today. I am not able to get this to work as the workflow always only picks up the prior days items no matter what I do with the Calculated Date action.
  2. Within the other list there are 2 Multiple lines of text fields which I am pulling information from via a variable and then inserted into an email summary. For some reason this data is being capped at 50 characters and I again can't figure out why that is.

    Hi @Amok7__5,

    1. You should be able to do
      1. Calculate date
        Date: Use date when action is executed, include time
        Hours: -24
        store in variable "targetDate"
      2. Query list
        Where Created >= targetDate
    2. Is the variable you store the info in also of type multiple lines of text?

    Hi @Amok7__5,

    in your query list, your are only pulling elements with created equal to your variable.
    You want greater than or equal to.

    Thanks Tarf 🙂

    I tried greater than or equal to which provided every item on the list
    Then tried less than or equal to which provided all items created yesterday again.

    Please can I ask you to confirm again.
