Copy List Items between Sites

Steps will need to be run by SharePoint Administrator:

1. Download Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
2. Extract all files in the archive to a singe location.
3. Run setup.exe
4. Go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Manage Web Application Features and activate the feature for desired web applications (usually it’s Sharepoint – 80 or Sharepoint – 443).

To create workflow:

Open up Sharepoint Designer, connect to your site and create a new workflow: 

Action: Copy List Item Extended 

Choose List Item “Current Item”

To list at this URL

Leave option to “Overwrite existing items”

Use variable (rename it to be clearer) to store ID.

I don’t know where that can be used yet since there isn’t an Update List Item Extended. Maybe that’s for a future enhancement or for those that can extend the project code.

Click Finish.

Open Calendar Item and select Workflows:

Start the workflow:

Go back into the workflows on the calendar entry to see the workflow history:

Once you’ve verified that the workflow works manually, you can change it to run automatically on item add or change.
