SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow email generating blank field content for currentitem RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I have created a Sharepoint Designer workflow to send email. We have two types of accounts, regular user accounts and generic user accounts. In both cases, when the users submit the list item, an email notification gets generated to the HR admin group and they get the emails from both types of user accounts, however currentitem returns blank for all fields mentioned in the email notification in the case of the generic user accounts. Is there an issue when the workflow is trying to access the currentitem's fields while logged in as a generic user? For ecample: currentItem.CandidateName returns blank

    Do let me know if anyone has faced this issue and what can be done to resolve this if possible.

    Thanks much - Reema

  • Hi Asif,

    I just fixed it, it was sending blank values as the server did not get sufficient time to process the values from the infopath form to the Sharepoint List. Once I gave pause for 1 minute, the values came through successfully!

  • Use  Return filed as Display Name on currentItem.CandidateName & let us know if that returns value.
