Hi Mike, we're listening. Did you try the standard SP web service that Stefan suggested using the Call Web Service smart service? Was there an error consuming the WSDL or at runtime? What was the error?

Hi Brett, the Call Web Service smart service is our preferred solution. The available services via the WSDL are CreateList, DeleteList, GetFolderNames, GetItemIds, GetListInfo, ListExists and Oing. None of which includes something like 'UpdateList' or 'AddListItem'

@Mike, I was referring to the standard SharePoint web services, not the Appian.SharePoint.Lists.asmx?wsdl, which is from the Appian service assembly add-on. Stefan suggested posting a SOAP message to an endpoint that looks like it is from SharePoint's standard out-of-the-box web services, and just looking at the SOAP message, I don't see any reason that Appian Call Web Service smart service wouldn't be able to send that same message. There may be something tricky about the WSDL that I'm missing though.

The WSDL from SharePoint can not be parsed from Appian. I checked that with Appian PS. So the only way to call these WS is "by-hand".

Stefan, you're right. I forgot that the XSD uses mixed content for complex types, which is an unsupported construct for the type system in Appian. Your suggested workaround is good.

Thanks, Stefan and Brett. Looks like we'll be going down the SOAP route when updating / creating List items.
