    Create Document Set via Web Service

    Wanted to ask if anyone has successfully created Document Sets via a Web Service call.

    The best that I can come up with is to create a Site Level workflow that creats a new item, set the content type as Document Set and fill in all of the fields from Workflow variables that are also available on the "Show on Start Form'.

    Then call the Nintex Workflow web service method - 'StartSiteWorkflow'.

    If you want to create the Document Set inside of a folder then just had the folder name to field that you would use for name.

    Example: I have a folder named "TestFolder" and I want to create a DS of "TestDS" inside of that folder.

    Name would be set to testfolder/testds

    Posting my findings and wondering if anyone else has a better solution.

    That sounds good to me, I can't see an easier way of doing this.

    Doc Sets are just another content type and we already have actions to deal with most of the special options that come with a Doc Set such as Capturing document set version.

    Thanks for sharing.
