Hi All,

 

We are Migrating the SharePoint 2013 On-Prem List Data to Sharepoint Online.

In this List (On-Prem) there is one Title Column that is Generated By Nintex workflow like - ABC_555, ABC_566 (ABC_ItemID)

 

Now the Item Migrated in SharePoint Online and the Title will be the same in online list ( ABC_555, ABC_566 (ABC_ItemID), but in Online the Itme ID will be different.

 

So to generete the Title in SharePoint online list we have create a One Configuration List and in this List We have Define the Value (that is max to the On-Prem item ID) and In workflow we are fetching this Value and Generating the Title = ABC_Configuraton-Value + 1 = ABC_7001 (if 7000 is the value in Configuration List),

It is working fine while creating the Single Item in List. But

Is Generating the Duplicate Item with Title if We are adding the Item By Quick Edit Option, because might be workflow not waiting to Featch next Value from configuration List. 

 

Workflow Attached

 

 

Required a Help On this.

 

Note: for Inof already, I have tried by Pause for Duration Action but Not working.

Hi,
As you are adding multiple items at once you cannot say which workflows will read the configuration value at what time which means that multiple workflows could read the same value as you have found.

As that is the case you need to find a way to make sure you have a unique way of setting the title regardless of how many items are added.

Instead of: Title = ABC_Configuraton-Value + 1 = ABC_7001
How about: Title = ABC_7000 + itemID = ABC_7001
(If ItemID is 1 you get 7001)
This will ensure a unique number everytime.

After analyse I have also use the item id + configuration value.
