I have SP 2013 on-premise SP Designer publishing workflow based on 2010 template. I have an external email address in Termstore.

Thus on each phase of approval email goes to a different group of emails from Taxonomy. Since there is not enough string manipulation function on workflow template 2010 to trim, I created another calculated text field which separates the term set value ([email protected]|G9971585-56d9-8df0-8225-fwt08z40ew37) with GUID and stores only term set label i.e. email address ([email protected]).

Now the problem is the term set got renamed to [email protected]; when the workflow triggers it fetches old value. I have verified that Taxonomy Update Scheduler Timer Job processed successfully.

Any suggestion will help.

  • Can't say I have any experience using terms/workflows in this capacity, but only thought would be verifying that the GUID is the same? i.e. whomever did the rename didn't in fact create a new one and delete the old one. One additional thought, since I somehow skipped you mentioning using calculated fields to do string separation - are those calculated fields correct? I recall issues with calculated fields not updating without a line item edit (i.e. if you change a lookup value, the calculated column won't update without the item itself being updated; same was true for today function).

  • Thanks Jordan your suggestions helped me find out the way. I found the solution. Posting it to the answer sections. GUID was same, Timer Job didn't update the TaxonomyHiddenList

Taxonomy Update Scheduler Job did not update the values after renaming of term sets in Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList. Everything started working fine after updating the item in this list.
