Is it possible to move a file from one library to another along with the lookup columns associated with it?

If the destination library have the same lookup, it should be possible. Try it out and see what happens.– Benny Skogberg ♦Commented Apr 13, 2015 at 11:42

how are you trying to move the file between libraries, using Rules, workflow or send to location?– ManuCommented Apr 13, 2015 at 11:44

I am currently trying sent to location only, see we are basically sending the file... but I want its look-up column to go along, how is it possible using workflow. Can u give an example for "action"/"step" ? For Example consider a resume (as a file) and its Job-Id against which the resume is applied, now I shortlist the resume for interview... so I moved it to Shortlist Library, but how do I retain the JobID look -up ?– Umesh SharmaCommented Apr 14, 2015 at 5:44

@BennySkogberg: I have same look -up there, still no help. Because logically also .. we are moving a file only, I want to know.. how can we move the look-up along with it, we right click on file and use send to option, whether we use email or copy option...it will only deal alone with that file... I want columns to move with it :-(– Umesh SharmaCommented Apr 14, 2015 at 5:49

@UmeshSharma What happens if you download from source and upload to destination? Are the lookup functioning then?– Benny Skogberg ♦Commented Apr 14, 2015 at 6:24

Well, Finally I figured out :-)
See while making a workflow, there is option of "Association Columns" there we can add new column and select the type as "Look-up",search for the specific column name and save it.
Now just save and publish the workflow !! And it finally works. Revert, for any clarifications.
