Update item

Changes one or more fields in an item.

Options within the action

Update

Select either the Current item that the workflow is running on, or one of the available libraries.

If selecting a library location, the Where selector will appear.

Where

If not selecting the Current item, use this section to specify the filter criteria to identify which document should have a check out cancelled. Manually enter the value, or select a workflow variable to evaluate at run time. For more information on lookups, see Using Lookups.

Note: if the filter criteria returns more than one item, only the first item in the collection will be applied.

Field

Select the fields that the action will update. More than one field can be selected. When a field is selected, an input field is added to the dialog to allow a value to be specified. To delete a field, click Delete ().

Troubleshooting

Action not executing

The work load for this action is added to a job queue. The workflow executes jobs in the queue as a batch when it reaches a "commit" point. For more information, see the Nintex article "Designing your Workflow - Commit Pending Changes Action NW2010 & NW2013."
