Using Content Type with Build String action

I am using the Build String action to create a Title field for a document but I cant seem to be able to select the Content Type as an option in the list workflow. I do have that option in the Site Collection Reusable Workflow. Anyone knows why?

Interesting, especially that you can ask for the content type in the conditional start options, even if it is a list workflow...

However, you can use a REST query to get your content type name. Something like:

http://[WebURL]/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('[listname]')/items(ItemID)?$select=Id,ContentTypeId,ContentType/Name&$expand=ContentType

This works for me. But you will need some additional regex/xmlQuery to extract only the name.

Hi Igor

What you can do is set a separate variable first as below

Then use this variable in your build string action to update the title field

Let me know how you get on
