When we want to manipulate SharePoint objects from within K2, dropping into code is sometimes the best option.

K2 uses its own web services to work with SharePoint and these are the ones actually used by its SharePoint event wizards.

We can also use them to get things done to our requirements. I have used them with great success over few years now.

The following server event code guarantees to update meta data fields of any list item (document, docset, list item, etc)

As long as the K2 service account has site collection admin rights this integration will work. The update will be done as part of the K2 workflow.

Using the run as option on the server event (recent feature addition) you can make this update to happen as another user identity – just make sure that identity has the correct rights.
