Hello,

I have 2 lists in the same site collection.  I need to take the items whose year is 2021 from List A and copy them into List B.  I assume a query function is involved but am not sure how to go about setting that up.  I am able to create a simple 'copy list item' workflow that I can run on each individual item but that will take me forever and I would like to be able to send all 2021 from List A into List B in one fell swoop.

To configure the Year as a start variable so that you can run it for different year if needed :



 


Note : Don't forget the boundaries and limits supported by SharePoint when you request large list.


 


Hope that helps.
