I have a contacts list workflow which populates an employee's job title and email address when their full name is entered. If i display 'Job Title' (person or group column type) it will show the employee's correct job title.
However, i have excluded this and created a separate column 'Title'(single line of text) because i have external vendors not in the AD and i am using workflows to set the column 'Title' so that it will populate depending on if i key in vendor or employee details.
The problem is that when i use designer workflow to Set 'Title' to Current Item:Job Title , there is no return field as job title, only email,display and the others which are the same.
As String, Login Name and User Id Number just shows my user log in credentials.
The only way this would work is i use 'Person or Group' column type with field as 'job title' then returning field as login name would display the employee's job title. However, i am trying to achieve this using 'single line of text' as i am creating a contacts list with both employees and external vendors details.
This is my current workflow so that i can populate both external vendor not in AD and employees.
