How to do an item lookup from a dynamically defined list within a workflow?
I want to lookup a field from another item in the list, but always from the "self" list.
Example:
Set Variable:Var1 to <List>:Field1
I want the <List> to always be the list which the workflow started from. Similiar to the way CurrentItem works, only I need a type of CurrentList, this way I can assign the workflow to a template and have the workflow always do the lookups within the newly created lists.
Edit:
To clarify, when you open the lookup dialog within the workflow editor (sharepoint designer 2007) you have a drop down menu to choose the Source. Default is CurrentItem, and if you select a list, you can create a query style lookup, but the List is static. I need that type of lookup, to always be from the current List the workflow was triggered from.

- Simply using SharePoint Desiger for workflows, this is not possible. When you create a workflow in SPD, it is hard-coded to only one list.
You may be able to accomplish your goal by developing a custom workflow using Visual Studio, but obviously this would take a developer.
