SJEaton Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hi, If you copy questions when raising a linked request in a workflow, does this copy all custom fields into the linked request? Can you then use the custom fields in a Gotoif expression in the linked request and have selected it eg - ? Thanks, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ainsworth Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hi @SJEaton The Copy Questions does not copy over the custom fields. The information in the questions still could be worked into your workflow by using this Hornbill Automation You should also be able to use this to then populate the custom fields that you want to retain in the new request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto2002 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 @SJEaton there is a node to "Update Request" that you usually leave to "auto" so it updates the current request. You just add that node to the originating BPM but tell it to update the RequestID for the newly created (we call it 'spawned') Request which you get from the node that created it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJEaton Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hi @Berto2002 I do have such a node in the originating BPM, but what is it that you select in the variable to pull the custom field through?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Alexander Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hi @SJEaton I think the query that you have in the 'custom_q' field in your screenshot (above) should do it? As long as there's a 'get request information' node before it, then it SHOULD work? I'm guessing it doesn't though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
