Hello - I used SharePoint 2016 on premises. I have 2 document libraries A and B. I used Run If action to copy a document from a document library A to a document library B (see attached), but it displayed a workflow error below:

“The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.” 

How can I copy a document from a document library A to a document library B? I’m appreciated for your help.

Are there any differences in columns and column types between Library A and B?

As a test, if you create a SharePoint List template from Library A and create Library C from this List template, are you able to copy document from Library A to Library C?

You’re correct. The columns between Library A and B doesn’t match. I re-created Library B with a SharePoint List template from Library A and it works fine. Thanks for your help.

Use a Webservice 

/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll

method=move+document:14.0.2.5420&service_name=/&oldUrl={WorkflowVariable:strSRC}&newUrl={WorkflowVariable:strDest}&url_list=[]&rename_option=findbacklinks&put_option=overwrite,migrationsemantics
