Copy document between site collections. Map columns between different content types

Hi,

I'm trying to copy documents from one site collection to a different site collection along with the metadata from the source library. However, the columns in the destination library are different from the source library.

Is there a way to "Map" columns between source library and destination library using Nintex WF?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Kevit,

you can:

  • create workflow variables for all your source columns
  • Save the values of the source columns in the variables
  • Modify the values to fit in your destination columns if necessary
  • Write back the values to the destination columns

This is all the (manual) mapping you will normally need. There is no "automapping" available. If your columns are just named differently but hold the same types of data, you can fill the columns directly with a reference to your source column (as usual via insert reference).

Let us know if you have more specific requirements.

Regards

Thanks Phillip.

I got this working.

Below are workflow actions/steps for anyone that might be interested:

1. Copy file to the Destination library without metadata.

2. Query (using file name) the destination library where file was just copied over to and grab ID of file from Destination library.

3. Use UpdateListItems web service and update columns as needed.

Thanks.
