Create New List, copy items and attachments, 60 plus columns.

Nintex Community.

   I am trying to create a cloud workflow (most likely a site workflow) that will create a new List and title it with a prefix such as “Archive-“ then the date. The list that I need to create has 60 plus columns. Then I need to move the Items and attachments from the original list over to the newly created list. The list resides on SharePoint Online so right off the bat there are restrictions on Cloud actions dealing with Lists with more than 12 columns.

Any help would be appreciated as I need to somehow automate this process.

Hey DonnyK67,

You shouldn't have any issues with what you are trying to do, the 12 column limitation only relates when doing a query and can cause a list view threshold error when using more than 12 columns of type people, lookup, and managed metadata.

If you are having issues with above please contact support and they should be able to help you..

Cheers, Rick
