Hello,
I am using sharepoint 2010. I have a User (people picker) field that allows for multiple values (Field A). I also have a similar column but it is hidden (Field B). In my workflow I assign the current value of Field A to Field B. I do this so that I can track if that particular field has changed. Also in my workflow, I want to check to see if the value in Field A is different than Field B (ie. the ser ujust chanegd that field's value). Now to the problem. For some reason, if the people picker field is a multi-value field (ie. Can pick more than one person/group), the comparison of the two fields is not working, but it does work if the people picker only allows one value. It is very wierd. In my workflow where I select Field B for the comparison field, I tried different options such as setting the value as a String or as a Name, but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something about comparing two multi-select people picker fields. The really odd thing is that I also find that my workflow sometimes does not finish running after it comes across this comparison, like it bombed out or something.
Any thoughts? - Peter
