Hello, wondering if someone had a similar issue like this:

Created a column 'Originator' in the list

Added action to set the field Originator with value of CreatedBy

When I run the workflow I get the below weird error which I don't understand:

Anyone a tip why this happens ?

Thanks

Jaap

Are you sure you are using the correct spelling of the name when setting the field?  Curious because you said "Originator" but later said "OriginatorId"

When you use a column ''Originator in your design, the problem is present. So I am wondering if this is a Nintex Bug ?

I've run into issues in the past with certain "reserved" column names and have observed the same thing.  For example list lookup fails if you have a column name such as DisplayName that is the same as an item property in Sharepoint.

Hi Mike, yes got that same feeling too with reserved fields. A column like Originator is a standard column every user would define as valid column in his/her design isn't it ?

I think that Nintex must address this as this frustrates like hell and did take me roughly 2 hours to correct.

Without checking, I say it certainly sounds like one.  Why not just change the column name to something else and test, see if you get better results?

Yes we called ite Requester 🙂 but if you have loaded a history of 2000 records and need to run a workflow to fill that field again, I am not going to love that extra work :-)
