SharePoint Workflow - Copy items and keep old standard

Question

Hi all,

what I am trying to do is to create a workflow that will copy the content of a list row into another when changed. Basicly: When someone edits data in the list "Goal" I want the original data to be copyed into the the list "GoalHistory". By using "Copy item in CurrentItem to GoalHistory" I've managed to duplicate the data into the new list. But this formula takes the latest input of data. I want the old one (the original). Any easy fix to tell the workflow that I wish to run this workflow before saving the new data, or any other way that's easier than what I'm trying to do?

In advance,

thanks.

Glenn

Hi,

 

For your requirements, there are two suggestions.

1.       You can use version function of SharePoint from list settings > version settings to save the old data.

2.       You can create an event handler handling the ItemUpdating event to copy the item into another list.
