Workflow to create opportunity and add associated product lines

Hi all,

I have created a workflow to create an opportunity when a previous opportunity is won. This works fine, now I would like to copy the opportunity products from the same opportunity to the newly created opportunity using a workflow. I know OOB there is no way to achieve this, I thought I could use Aiden Kaskela's workflow elements but I can't see a way to add opportunity product dynamics values to the "add Sale Items" step. Can this be done with workflow elements or otherwise with no code or low code?

Thanks

I'm adult and I don't believe in miracles - there is an explanation why this error is thrown and I'm pretty sure it's easy.

Can you try to create the same opportunity you're creating by a workflow and check if product can be added?

Ok. So during creation of opportunity product - use this input argument instead of reference from opportunity product. I can't give you a screenshot. You will have to figure out that by yourself.

Hello,

You can find example described in the post I mentioned before - butenko.pro/.../

Can you please confirm that for "Opportunity" action put you provided Entity as "opportunity"?

There is no guarantee that it will resolve the issue but try following 2 things:

1. Try not to pass "Write In Product".

2. To Opportunity pass a reference from "Action Input" Opportunity and not reference to "initiating" opportunity.
