Trying to create a mass update of a 35,000 item SharePoint list when a supervisor changes.  However, I have learned that collecting the items in the list where the Supervisor = user name (people data type) does not work… it is actually filtering on the hidden SharePoint User Information List ID found in the site collection.  So, I am looking for a Nintex workflow that to lookup the User Information List ID in this hidden list based on the user login name.  

so here is the link to the list: 

<site>/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx

 

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Sharepoint and Nintex can be a bit picky with comparing People data. Can you try this solution and see if it works for you?
