Copy item not moving metadata

Hi,

I am using 'copy' action in a workflow. It runs for 100+ items. For some times, it copies over the metadata to destination but for others, it just leaves the line as blank.

The metadata is set at site level and is enabled at destination as well (both places have same metadata columns)

Why is this happening? Is it because workflow is running too fast and the copy event is not being completed?

Thanks!

When you say "Metadata" and "is enabled at site level" means are you referring to Taxonomy and the list column type is "managed metadata" column?

If so, make sure the destination side, same taxonomy is being referred.

Hi,

I did do that. Its just 80 - 90% of the files' metadata is copied correctly. There are some items that are not copied. I tried to find a pattern and could not do that.

I've heard you can decide which metadata to transfer over in older versions of Nintex. Is this exists now or scheduled for future release?
