Hello,
I am using Sharepoint 2010 but am running a test in my Sharepoint Foundation 2010. I created a reusable workflow and added some Association columns. I then associated the workflow to a list. As expected, the association columns appear on my List's forms. I can save new items with data in those columns and all is well. I then updated the workflow to add some steps. For example, as a test I added a step to set one of the association columns to have a value of "Test Value". After publishing it and going back to my list, I get a workflow error when saving my item. Via a log to the history, I can see that the failure was at the point where I assigned the association column the value. I can't find anymore on the error so I don't know what might be happening so for now I am just trying to find out if what I did was okay to do (ie assigning an association column a value within a workflow step).
Any thoughts? - Peter
