List name

How often do your users change list names, and why? I've not had this specific issue, but we've had something similar if you change a column property (we changed a people picker from multiple to single) and the places it was referenced in the workflow "broke." If this is something frequent for you and you don't have a way to have this not happen, a possible workaround would be to create a listNameVar at the start of the workflow, and assign List Name to that, so that if/when they change the List Name you only have to update it at that variable location. Of course, then you would need to reference the variable throughout your workflow, not the true List Name.

If you are into such "manual operations" then you can as well create a mapping list in SharePoint, having two columns:

1. List name
2. List GUID

In your workflow simply query that list, setting a filter on "GUID = {Workflow Context:List ID}" and that way you will get the list name.
