Sub library folder - using Title - then Title is changed. Method to obtain the correct folder name?
I have an archive action that copies a dossier to an archive dossier (list/sub-doc lib). The problem is that I'm looking for the sub-lib folder to be based on the Title, but since the dossier was created, they'd changed the Title, so now I can't correctly determine what it's currently using, and the method fails. Any way to obtain what the folder name is?

Hi Dale
Unfortunately I don't know a way to find your folder by its old name since there is no versioning functionality on folders in SharePoint document libraries...
Manually (unintended) changed folder names were one of the main reasons why we changed the relation for sublibraries from folder names to SP Lookups which is not removing the relation to the dossier when changing the folder's name.
Check here how to migrate from older folder relation to relation by lookup on the folder: How to migrate sublibraries to use custom folder name format
This lookup relation logic change would most likely help on your future dossiers but unfortunately not on your current missing folder...0 -
My solution was in the New form to save the original [Title] that was used for the sub folder name so that I can reference it later. I also needed to replace / character with _.
