Brent, Have you worked this out yet?
I have two options for you. 1) Pull the values via multiple set fields actions to the record your trying to create OR 2) Do the value via multiple push mappings after you do multiple set fields actions to display only fields that map to the fields your trying to create. So for Option #1: You have to figure out what type of record the "InstanceID" is going to be. (maybe you actually know that from some other data you have?) That type tells you where the data record needs to be created. So dummy up a "TBD" ( "To Be Determined") format for that record then add filters on that target form that will "pull" the TBD values from your source form. Now if you want to get real fancy with this idea, then you map your field Names to field ID's and you use the Application-Copy-Field-Value special process command while you are looping over a table field that lists the fieldID and value strings. It could be as simple as a few filters, maybe 3, in a filter guide looping of a table field based on the "InstanceID" supplied in the TBD record. OR Option #2: Add all the field ID's from all of the target forms to your source form as display only fields. Then based on the type of record that your going to create, so set field actions to pull values from the various other records in a similar manor as above and map the values into the display only fields. Then for every target form create a push action that maps all the right fields in the push. Personally I really like option #1 over Option #2. It is just cleaner in my view and you have less "type" logic to deal with.

Hi Everyone, I have run into a problem which I am sure there is a simple solution that I am missing. I have a form that contains only four fields. It has "Field Name", "Field Value", "SchemaName", and "InstanceID". The form basically holds a listing of fields that will make up an asset record. With the InstanceID field, this allows me to load multiple assets into the one form. The field names in the form are not always the same from asset to asset. And because there can be multiple types of assets, this makes it a lot harder to hardcode every field into one form. My problem is how do I take a group of these records and push them out to create a single asset. With workflow, setting the value part is easy, however, how would I specify the field name I am want to use. I can only select from the list menu of the fields off the asset form, but I need to be able to plug a variable in its place. Anyone have any ideas on how I could accomplish this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I put two screen shots up for reference at: http://rowshay.com/screen_shot_1.jpg http://rowshay.com/screen_shot_2.jpg Brent...
