Workflow Issue: Multiple Selection field in Query List

hey,

when u set ur TopicText variable (Text Variable) try it like this:

after that u can lookup ur list and save the values (in my example the IDs) in a collection variable.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately that solution doesn't seem to work for me.

I don't see a topic list in my query list action and if I use the library I'm searching in. It doesn't pick up any items.

What I'm really after is how does workflow store a multiple selection field, and how can I use it with the query list action to find items that have the same multiple selection combination as the item I'm running the workflow for.

Thanks,

oh... the topic list is just an example... u have to select ur list where the new item is created.

u have to store the multipleselection field in a TEXT VARIABLE and then u have to get the value like i did in my first screenshot.

set ur text variable: urvariablename

lookup in list --> current item -- > ur multipleselection field

it works in my testworkflow:

the first row is my CollID ... the second is the text variable TopicText .. and the last is the multipleselection value when i would choose "Topic" in my filter

maybe u can add some screenshots of the steps and then i can help u to find the error

Here is the series of actions I have set up.

1) The build string takes in the "Topic" which is the multiple selection field and converts it to a string.

2) I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly I'm doing with the set variable that the build string isn't doing but I have it in there like you had in your post.

3) Then I query the library I'm working out of to find all other items with the same multiple field selection.

4) I then output the list ID in an email

Let me know what I'm missing to get my workflow to work. Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you your help.

That resolved the issue.
