Modified by user in Sharepoint
+1
We have a very simple workflow that updates a status field on a Sharepoint document library when a new item is added. Doing this causes the last modified user to be set to the K2 Service account. Is there a workaround or any way to prevent this behavour? It makes the product almost unusable for Sharepoint based workflows where you need K2 to update any field in a list or document library.

Hi,
This is the default behaviour because actually this is the account which is starting K2 that really does the update. You have 2 ways to change this behaviour.
- you can create a new column in your Sharepoint Lib with the login of the user you want... and you will updated these column with the value you want in your Sharepoint Event.
- You add impersonate code into your Sharepoint Event (I've never test this but it must work).

After spending a day on this, I got a solution and will post it below for everyones benefit.
- Put a Sharepoint Document event on the canvas (I suppose you can do the same on a Sharepoint List, but I didnt try)
- In the the wizard, select "Update Document metadata" and complete the wizard as you normally would.
- When complete with the wizard, right click on the event and view code.
- When the WF diagram is shown, right click on it and view code.
- Inside the .cs file, find the method for "UpdateDocumentMetaData_ExecuteCode"
- Inside this method, find the line of code for:
resultSet +=
"</Documents>";
- Below this line insert (where domainusername is substituted with your acutal value):
resultSet = resultSet.Replace(
"</Fields>",@"<Field><Title>Modified By</Title><Name>Editor</Name><Type>Text</Type><Value>domainusername</Value></Field></Fields>");
