Displaying the value of a list column in a workflow email?

Question

I currently have a list workflow configured to send users an email based on some conditions.

Within this email, I'd like the title of the list item to display to the user so they know what the email is referring to.

I've read elsewhere that you can use something like this in your email's body of text:

[%Current Item: Title%]

In theory, this should retrieve the title value and display it in the email. However, the email is simply displaying this piece of code as plain text and not retrieving anything.

Would be grateful for anyone's help.

Answer 1

There is a space between Item: and Title%!

You should use it without space like this [%Current Item:Title%]

Below is the correct way to get instead of adding it manually

• At subject, Click on eclipse ....
• Add or Change Lookup.
• Current Item > Title.

Note: you can also use Fx button to show the title as a subject without adding any additional text.
