sharepoint designer 2013 workflow work with metadata terms and files in a folder
Hello, I test a GET query to have access at the label of 2 metadata fields associate to a content type use to upload files in document set folder. I need to have information from somes fields of...
Hello,
I always try to get the metadata value from the label.
I found than the problem could be the number of char in my rest api get request.
A maximum of 250 or 255 char are supported. Somes people say than change the request for a POST could be resolve the issue.
So I search a post resquest example for SPD 2013 workflow.
Another way could be to create a workflow activity in visual studio.
I'm not an expert in code, but I have VS 2017 and I try to create a activity.
I fisnish by found enought information to create and try the activity in SPD 2013.
For now my activity test only write a line in the history.
I have found a web site with a step by step example to get Label of metadata.

But in the example he use the GetCurrentlListId activitys, When I check in my VS2017 toolsbox I dont have this activity in the list. I have found on technet web site the list of activitys and GetCurrentlListId is present. When I have check in my VS2017 it's like I need to update a package or install a patch maybe. When I go in the select elements for toolbox I dont find GetCurrentListId.
