I have two form libraries with InfoPath forms. One library is called Projects and one is called ROI. When an ROI form is completed I would like workflow to update the Project form with a hyperlink to the ROI form that was just completed. I have been trying to use the update item function without any success. Can you tell me how to do this?

Yes the field has been promoted and allows updates. I have gotten to a point were I can use workflow to update the Project Form library with the URL but when you open the form it is just text not a link. If I change the field on the form to a URL I am not able to allow updates and then workflow doesn't work.

This is how my form displays

This is how the library displays

At this point I am going to say its more of a InfoPath/SharePoint issue then a workflow issue.
