Create SharePoint subsite with a custom template

Question

Hello together,

we want create a workflow where the users can create their own websites in SharePoint for Collaboration.

For this I tried the "Create Subsite"-Event in the K2-Studio.

But my problem is, that I don't see our Custom Template that we want to use.

Is there a trick how I can add this Custom Template to the list?

Or what have I put in the textfield for the template that the custom template will be taken?

Thank you for your support :)

Kind Regards

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Unfortunately there is no way to specify custom template even if you pass the name of the template, you can only select the OOTB templates.

I remember this has been logged as a feature enhancement with K2.
