 Hi, I would like to copy the workflow status (OOTB Approval 2010 workflow) to a newly created column. The reason is because a timer job deletes workflow history after 60 days and we need to see the workflow status as a permanent record.

My workflow seems to make sense, but it isn't updating the value in the column as expected. I've attached a picture of the workflow.

 Hoping someone has some ideas.  Thanks. 

Sorry for not getting back straight away Hillary.  I found out why this wasn't working. I found a post about how the Wait action indeed does not fire for OOB workflow status columns.

Therefore tried customizing the approval workflow instead… I made a copy of the OOB Approval workflow as a reusable workflow on a content type/item. 

Then in the Customization section 'changed the behaviour of the overall task process' and set the value to an ancillary column.
