6;# appended to the front of values via lookup fields

Question

I have a list with a name, email field, and position field.

The odd thing is when I call the value of the lookup in a workflow email, a 6;# is appended to the front of all three fields.

There are no empty spaces. How do I correct this, please?

Answer 1

• Try to create a workflow variable with data type string.
• Set the value of the variable to Current Item , select the look up return field value as Lookup value with comma

• Use the new variable in your email as the following
