I am working on a Capital Request form with a workflow. I have a repeating section that has a lookup, text fields, calculated value, yes/no boxes. I have found out that using a repeating section will not write the values to the column list. I am new to all of this and I do not know how to use the xml to parse the information and update the list items. I have attached the xml output if someone could please let me know what I need to do to get this working. I do have the xml being written to a multi-line column.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><Est.ItemCost type="System.Decimal">5</Est.ItemCost><ServiceMaintenance type="System.Boolean">True</ServiceMaintenance><ProvincialAgreement type="System.Boolean">True</ProvincialAgreement><EquipNewReplacement type="System.String">New</EquipNewReplacement><EquipmentName type="System.String">18</EquipmentName><Quantity type="System.String">5</Quantity><Est.TotalCost type="System.Decimal">25.00</Est.TotalCost><Currency type="System.String">USD</Currency></Item></Items></RepeaterData>

Thank you,

I think that I have figured out updating the lists but now I have an issue with the Equipment Name, this is a lookup from a custom list on the site, instead of bringing the value (name) it is bring across the correlating ID how can I get this to update correctly with the name?

Hi Tim,

I think you need to change your filter in the Lookup fieldĀ setup.

You need to filter with the ID and not the name.
