I'm trying to pull information from a hidden field in a repeated section in a form into the workflow. I have been able to accomplish this using a form variable with the convert to string action however because its in a repeat section it rolls all each field in each repeate section into one variable. I'd like to keep these fields hidden on the form any ideas on how to pull it into the workflow?

@Andrew87 try below steps:



  1. Create a MLT column in SharePoint list, make sure it's a Plain Text field

  2. Connect your repeating section to that MLT column

  3. Now in Workflow:

    1. Using Query XML, store the MLT column in a MLT variable

    2. Extract all the fields you need and store them in a collection variables

    3. Using any one collection variable, for loop and Index variable

      1. Now, for each collection variable use respective collection operation and using index variable from for loop get the value and store it in the respective type of workflow variable
