Can anyone offer best practice for dealing with List Item IDs in SharePoint? If I want to 'Get a List Item' there are two wizards available, the SharePoint List Items wizard and the SharePoint Search wizard.
The List Items wizard wants an Item ID to find a specific list item from a list. What I'm missing on the returning metadata are values in several columns based on calculations, as well as some of the underlying metadata such as CreatedBy. Most of the other columns return data so I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if there is a technical reason behind BlackPearl not returning these values.
The Search Items wizard does not appear to let me search by Item ID. It looks like I would have to search on a field such as Title which may not always be unique.
So to narrow this down to a single question, what tricks are others using to return list item meta data columns, such as calculated columns and base columns (ie CreatedBy) given a specific Item ID?
