Paul,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Can you let me know how you can do this?

Kevin, I don’t think there’s any good way to get at the old values.

You can keep track of old/new values via a trick that is usually done to prevent endless loops, but not through the version history.

There may be some clever way of getting to the version history but I don’t know what that would be.

To do it nicely, you almost certainly need to create a custom sharepoint designer action, which requires some programming.

Hi ,

Thanks for the great article.

Is it possible to access the version history while sending the email. What i want specifically is to display the item which has changed with its previous value and current value.

Thanks,
Kevin

The Field I am dealing with is Approver Comments (for a doc lib with Content Approval enabled).

I want to replace the ???? in the workflow lookup for the Approver Comments field with “No comments provided” when that value is empty.

When I use your method, I do not see Approver Comments as an available option in the value list in the “set field in current item” workflow action. Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

Very nice post!
I have question regarding the workflow i am trying to create.
I want to create a workflow which gets fired when a column value remains the same for more than a week, which will send an email to the person in charge.
Can this be done using only SPD workflows?
Please provide me with any suggestions you might have.

Thanks,
Vaishnavi

For everyone who was asking about how to get rid of the timestamp that is associated with date fields used in workflow emails. I found this: http://sharepointblogs.com/forums/t/20605.aspx
