How can I concatenate two field values from the same list( both fields are people picker fields) and update it in another field?

You can set the action named Build String and then update your item with the action named "Update Item"

I have not done this in a while, but you may want to put the desired attribute from the People Picker field into a variable so that you can easily work with it. Each Person field contains many different attributes (Last Name, display name, email address etc) you can choose which of these you need.

Hi dean,

I  queried the list , used build string action item and updated the other field using Update Item action filed but some how it is throwing the error

The two fields that I want to concatenate are

List and Additional ( People picker Field),

It should updated in Final Nominees field ( text field).

I used workflow variables

I stored List data in List var1 ( text field) workflow variable

Additional in List var2 ( text field) Workflow variable.

I used Build String action item and stored these field in the New list workflow Variable ( text field).

I tried to update Final nominee field with New list variable.

Please find the screen shots !!

are those fields from the list the workflow is running on?

if so, then you can easily do it as follows

first save list field's value to a text workflow variable. do it for both people fields
