Workflow - How to set an attribute to the secondary owner's e-mail address of workflow target?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how I can set an attribute of my choice, to the e-mail address of the secondary owner of the workflow target? 

So far, I have the following: 

>>Operation execution: Create User; where secondary owner of workflow target is not empty. 

>>Change object properties (attribute of my choice) set to the E-mail address of workflow target

What I am looking to achieve is the following:

>>Operation execution: Create User; where secondary owner of the workflow target is not empty. 

>>Change object properties (attribute of my choice) set to the E-mail address of workflow's secondary owner. 

Can that even be done? 

Thank you!

    Hello, Diana.

    My initial reaction would be to believe that this would not be possible without scripting due to the fact that the edsvaSecondaryOwners attribute is multi-valued. If I'm not mistaken, if you attempt to leverage a multi-valued attribute in a place where only a single value is permitted (e.g., e-mail address), I believe that you will receive an error condition.

    With a script, you could, of course, apply logic to select an item from the multi-valued list (e.g., the first item in the list). As far as I know, there is no way to do the same in the Workflow graphical designer.

    Regards,
    Shawn.

    Diana,

    This does look like it needs to be scripted. 

    When trying to search for an object matching a Secondary Owner's DN, the Workflow fails with the error: "Illegal data entry. Workflow activity encountered data entry of multiple values in a situation where a single-value data entry is required. Check configuration of the workflow activity."

    I could not find a working solution within the Workflow GUI.

    Thank you Shawn for your response. I will look at a scripted method.

    Thank you Terrance! I will see if I can script this.
