Dear Community,
one of my Workflows in SharePoint Designer 2013 has a strange behavior.
He looks like this:
Set "Field A" (Text) to Value "Current Item: Created By: Display Name" and end Workflow.
A manually started short Workflow. If I create a new item, the workflow has no problems to display my user name into the text field. My Last name is unique.
But if my colleague creates a new item, the workflow won´t display his name but from another person with the same last name.
Example:
Created by: "Testuser, Carl" with windows login "testuser"
would display
"Testuser, James" with windows login "testuserj"
The Workflow does also not care about the ID, E-Mail or Login Name. It will always display "Testuser, James" if i create an item with "Testuser, Carl". I have looked up our active directory and found no problem. Same thing in the SharePoint SQL Database "Content db" user info: the mapping is ok there. So i tested it with an 2010 Workflow and it did work.
Well, here is my question: Is this behavior normal? Does someone else have the same issue? Is there a solution/workaround?
Thank you for you help!
Best regards
