Workflow Setting Lookup Field

[djhobbes]

I am using a 2013 workflow in SP online to parse a filename and set multiple fields, one of which is a lookup field tied to a list elsewhere in the site collection (using cross site lookup).

For discussion, I am trying to se the [Title] field to a numeric variable I parse from the filename. The problem is, instead of returning the correct item by [Title] it is using the numeric variable to return the matching [ID] field from the list.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I suppose, you're retrieving an item by CAML-query, right? If so, please, read the following thread illustrating how to request items either by Title or by Lookup Id:
