I want to know if I can use List workflow rather than the Site Workflow to make changes from one list to another if something has been changed or do I need a site workflow to achieve this?

I also want to know that as there is just one option that the Site Workflow to be started manually. I want to know that will it work automatically? As I cannot see any run logs in the Site Workflows in the SharePoint Site Contents unless I run the flow manually from there? Why's that?

As a short answer, Yes, you can use List Workflow to update list item in another list based on condition in the first list

By using Update List Item Action below List Actions

After specifying the list, specify the field that you need to update based on the condition in the blue highlighted section

  • Thanks for the answer. The real question would be like this: If we do : Start workflow when an item has changed If in List 1 value 1 is not equal to value 2 Set value 1 in List 2 equal to List 1 value 1. Will this work? I mean in in two different Lists. Merging data between two different links.
