Hello Folks,

Can anyone help me here on this task.

I have to create nested folder in SP document library (Library B) when list item gets added into SP list (List A) using K2 Workflow

EX:List A, Library B.

Suppose user adds item "Project Name" in List A then workflow should create a main folder in Library B with following nested folders

Project Name-> Dev folder, QA Folder,UAT folder .

(So Under Project folder 3 sub folder it should create when workflow triggers)

I was able created one folder 'Project Name' in library using 'Create Folder' object in Document Workflow steps.

Can any one help me and guide how to create nested folder in SP Library ?

Please show the steps.

Thanks in advance

1. Create a SharePoint list workflow in List A
2. Set workflow to start automatically upon new item
3. Create a step to name variables (Looks nice and makes it easier to edit later on – optional)
4. Create variable Vcase and set the value to [%Current Item: Title%] ([%Current Item:Id%])
5. Create variable Vsubfolder1 and set the value to Subfolder 1 (Optional but makes it easier to edit later on)
6. Create a step to create new element (This is the root folder)
  Select “DocLib” as list to create item in
  Select “Action – Create list element”
  Add “Id for contenttype” – set in to Folder
  Edit “Path and name (*)” – set it to [%Variable:Vcase%]
7. Create a step to create new element (This is the subfolder)
  Select “DocLib” as list to create item in
  Select “Action – Create list element”
  Add “Id for contenttype” – set in to Folder
  Edit “Path and name (*)” – set it to [%Variable:Vcase%]/[%Variable:Vsubfolder1 %]
8. Repeat step 5 and 7 for each subfolder you wish to create.
