I have this basic workflow that would get the value of the "created by" column and would populate it as a user name in a people column. The issue is it is not working. I can see the flow going to stage 1 but the people column would not populate itself. Workflow image below.

  • I think the IF condition is wrong. Try adding a log to history inside IF loop (before Set PWID to .. action) and see if the execution goes into the loop. Also what is PWID? workflow variable?

  • Hi. PWID is a Person Column that is set to show field as email. So instead of users typing in their email the workflow should get the value if "Created by" and copy it over to the PWID field and it would show as email.
