Symptoms


We structured our SharePoint document libraries with folders and subfolders. If I want to copy or move a file within a folder to another library, K2 will throw the error, that "FileLeafRef is a required property..."(see log attachment). Also if I use the SmartObject Service Tester to examine how many files can be recognize through the "Get Documents" -method, I will only get the documents, which are not in a folder.
Is this behaviour by design? I would appreciate if you have a workaround or solution for my problem.

 

Diagnoses


You can use the Copy Document activity in a workflow (for SharePoint 2013) to copy a document (upon upload or change) from the root directory of a Document Library to the root directory of a different library, however as soon as you create a folder structure on the origin document library and upload a document, you will get the following error:

SmartObject property FileLeafRef is a required property for selected method UploadDocument. FileName property must be set.

 

Resolution

Update to 4.6.8 resolved this error which means this is specific to 4.6.7 or lower.
