Hi Robin, I actually use this mechanism quite a lot, and it certainly does work when it gets the field id from other fields. One thing to note is that you MUST use this in a Set Fields - I actually don't think it'll even work in a Run Process (though I haven't confirmed this just now, but I'm pretty sure I've tried it in the past). So, that Set Fields action might look like:
Field: SomeInteger0 Value: $PROCESS$ Application-Copy-Field-Value $TargetFieldID$ $SourceFieldId$ where: *SomeInteger0 *- is some integer field that receives the "result" of the operation. *TargetFieldID* - is an integer field containing the field id that should receive the value *SourceFieldID* - is an integer field containing the field id that contains the source value As Fred mentioned, you can check the "return" value of this operation - the value that will be put into 'SomeInteger0' in my example - to determine if the operation was successful or not. It'll be set to 1 if it worked, 0 if not. I don't bother checking this anymore because, once you get it working, it's a very robust mechanism and never fails. This may be obvious, but just to be clear, the data types of the fields referenced by 'SourceFieldID' and 'TargetFieldID' do not themselves have to be integers. I haven't exhaustively tested this with all the different field data types, but it certainly works with Character, Integer, Date, Time, and DateTime field types. I also have NOT tried to use this to move a value from one data type to another...I'm not sure it'll do the conversion that a "normal" Set Fields would do. Let me know if this works for you or if any of this is not clear.
