Hi,

I have created a reusable workflow in sharepoint designer which collects data from the user and then updates a column with the value. However, when I look up the value, the field which I created for collecting data doesn't shown up in the the lookup list when I choose tasks as data source.

Hi,

Please check ,while creating workflow,if you have selected desired list or library.

If you select wrong list then you will find desired fields missing.

Answer 3

Hi,

When you insert a collect data task action, you get a wizard where you need to specify the form fields. I have created a field called "Reviewed" which gives the user the option to choose either yes or no. I want to display the user's choice in a library column.  In order to do this, I have used the action update list item.  However, when I cannot find the field "Reviewed"  in the look up list (Field from source). Please see photo attached.

Answer 4

Hi ,

I understand that you cannot find the field which you created in the collect data from user task .This is because the workflow is not
refreshed .You can press the Refresh button in Designer beside the undo button .If this field still missing ,you can first publish the workflow and then edit the workflow in Designer again .This time you will find the field .Try to use the Association:Task List as the data source instead of Tasks.

Thanks
