Hello Team,

 

I am new to Nintex workflow. My requirement is to add a column in the sharepoint list which will have a constant and ID value together as  a string everytime a new item is created. 

Example: for first item ID will be 1 and new column will have value A1 and will be A2 , A3 etc for 2nd and 3rd item respectively. 

 

I tried creating a workflow by 

1. Quering the list and do descending sort based on ID column and assigning ID values to a variable as output

2. use get Item from Collection method and get the first value using index = 0 and assign to a variable

3. create a workflow variable and assign it a constant , in our example "A"

4. Use build string to concatenate variables from step 2 and step 3 using {var1}{var2} and assigning it  to output

5. use Set Field in current item to add the value from step 4 to the new column 

 

It is not working. I am using Nintex workflow for O365. Can you please guide me ?

Sandeep

Hi,

Out of the 5 steps in the workflow which one is not doing what its expected to do?

Hi,



 



It is not doing concatenating and creating a new item in the column. when I add an item into the list, there is no response. The workflow is running without errors.

Hi,

Log your variables after each step so you know here it is going wrong.
