Hey there,
I am new with bubble and want to copy a item (or thing) from one data type to an other. I tried this with an api backflow but it doesn´t work.
It seems that the workflow is running, but it doesn´t copied the data. Also there is no error reported from bubble.
How would you solve this task? Please give advice. Thanks.

What does your backend workflow look like? You need to schedule a backend workflow on a list of the type you want to copy, then, inside the workflow, Create a new (new data type) using the fields of the other data type.
Thanks for your reply. This is my workflow.
Thanks for your help.
If you need further informations to the workflow please ask.
Thanks.

How do you know the workflow is running? Have you checked the logs and debugger to see if this workflow was scheduled (i.e the list you are searching for returns the results you expect?)
Duration: 0ms is a bit suspicious.
Like @georgecollier said - are you sure you are actually passing a list (“Do search for” is not empty) in your workflow?
Sorry, I am a Newbie and I don´t understand. Do you mean the “list to run on”? I am passing a table/ data typ where my data is in and these data fields (Betrag, Monat, Position) should be copied in the table “Positionen_Monat_initial”.
Is my configuration wrong?
It doesn’t look wrong from the screenshots, but what we are saying is that “List to run on” might be empty, hence nothing gets copied.
Can you make sure that there is data that you are passing to that list? You might have privacy settings enabled on that table or a search constraint that’s too restrictive.
Also, make sure your scheduled date is filled in.
Finally, it’s highly unlikely, but you might have disabled Scheduled workflows. You can check if they are on here:
Opening App data shows me that the data type contains data. So the list is not empty.
The scheduled field is empty, because I call the workflow after clicking a button.
Privacy settings are not set, everyone is able to open the data type an view the data.
Thanks for your patience.

Schedule field is mandatory. If you want to run it immediately, use current date/time

Scheduled date should be filled in. Try filling it in and seeing if that helps.
If not, we can try taking a step back and copying the data source into a repeating group to ensure there is data to be copied there.
Thank you very much. This was the game changer. I have not seen this as a problem, because bubble has not informed me that this field is mandatory.
Regards,
Patrik
