Hi all!

I’m sure this question has been asked before, but I am trying to use a repeating section to update a Sharepoint List and I just don’t understand how to do it. 

I have a Repeating Section with 1 text field, 1 single choice field, and 1 currency field. I would like there to be a new list item for each line of the repeating section but keeping the rest of the form the same.

When I try to use a way I think will work, I get the error The specified value is unknown. [Error Code: TypeCasting.UnknownCasting] in the Workflow Testing, which to me, doesn’t mean much.

Hope this makes sense! 

Thank you!

Can you export your workflow and paste the key in here? Oe provide screenshot of your workflow?

 

You have to use a loop for each to go through each row in the RS. What does your workflow look like?

    Also as it relates to the error message someone posted about that awhile back.

    That would be helpful to determine where you are having trouble.

    I have created a sample here : QsGUQZmhmgF2qqEYEP2tBLDz3mGGGC1FrFda8a5EhCwBtd4Xk

    I’m having the same issue with this error: code":"XEN.InvalidBody","message":"[XEN.ErrorParsingFragments] Error parsing fragments: [XEN.InvalidFormat] Input value was not in a correct format.

     

    I am using a loop for each in the workflow.  The SharePoint list has a mix of repeating section variables and regular variables from the start event.  Does anyone have any tips?
