Hello.

Can use JavaScript to set an expiration date for list update activity?

I want to set when updating the workflow list without using Explorer.

Thank you.

Yes You can set this up. Just create a workflow that read list table and select list without expiration date and update them with a data update activity.

Thanks,

David

@DavidKangniThank you for your reply. Does that mean selecting "Delete" for "Record identification"? I want to delete unnecessary lists after the scheduled time. Thank you.

@uz2020

if you set up the expiration date, list will be automatically purge after the expiration date. Cleanup workflow will do it.

No need to set up a workflow for that

Thanks,

David

@DavidKangniThank you for your reply. My perception may be wrong or my explanation may be wrong. I want to set the expiration date of a list in a workflow, is that possible? Thanks.

Hi,

You can use the update data activity after the list creation to set the expiry date.

In case you want to have a computed label for your List,

1.you can store it in a instance variable first

2. set the label using instance variable.

3. set expiry date using a update data activity as per the following.

Thanks,

@Deb_Tripathy Thank you for your reply! Sorry for the late confirmation. What is a "list calculation label"? Is it the "Internal Name" of list? Thank you.

@Deb_Tripathy  Append:Is it the "Internal Name" of list? or If "explicitly specified" instead of "Create the list if necessary (comouted name)", does the identifer contain the list name? Thank you.

Hi,

It was about the following. Not the internal Name but the computed label.
