Issue
When using create item in another site action to create an item inside a specific folder on the list, you get an error that the list view threshold has been exceeded.
Error Code
The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator
Resolution
Check the List view threshold configured for auditors and administrators as that is the threshold impacting this particular action which involves querying the list for folder.
Additional Information
List view threshold error normally occur only when querying a list and not when writing to the list. But when using this action to create an item inside a folder on the list, the workflow will query the list to check if the folder exist, thereby leading to this threshold error.
