+4Hello,
I have a new issue where I am trying to migrate a 2013 On Prem workflow that uses list content type to create a new item but in automation cloud I am not finding the list lookup option how it functions in on prem environment. There are several fields that need to be added to this new item action via list lookup, just unsure how exactly I connect to this content type to filter each field.

Hi
If a list has multiple content types, you can choose the content type you want to update by adding the Content Type ID field and choosing your content type.

Simon, how do you update the “content type ID” using update items? I see this article is about new items, but what about existing ones? We are trying to migrate a process from Nintex Workflow for Office 365 application into NAC - but they were using content types to manage the forms in which users see when clicking on the list item.
I have not seen a way to mirror this behavior of updating the content type ID through NAC. Suggestions?

You are correct. The SPO update item action does not allow you to update an item's content type.
The only thing I can think of is to use an API request to make the update.

If it is something you will do often, you could create an Xtension.
