We actually created a department list and tagged an administrator's AD account to it, and a workflow fires to that administrator. I'm going to keep your idea in my back pocket because I know I'm going to need it at some point. Thanks for the assist. | |

| Sep 10, 2015 at 13:50 | comment | added | Steve Morley | Thanks, this is what I had been trying. I forgot to mention that we're using Active Directory for our people picker. When I try select any field in the workflow, the only options in the "Return field as" the only values I can choose are: Display Name, Email Address, Login name and User Id Number. No department. I can create a second lookup field and get the user to type in the name of the person again and display the department, I was trying to avoid that. | |
