I have a workflow that generates a word document and stores it as a listitem in a documentlib.

This listitem also have 2 columns that I want to fill with value from the List lookup in Nintex Workflow. I cant find a way to do that.. I tried using the action called "Update List item" but  in the settings for that action when I select the documentlib as source and then try to find following field: "Name (linked to document with edit menu)" there is none..

Generate documentation action sets " Name (linked to document with edit menu) " by default when storing it in the documentlib.. So basicly I cant do a where criteria..

Any solutions is appreciated,

Correct its basicly two empty columns when the document get stored in the document lib by "Generate document" action. I need to fill those two columns with list lookup values.
