When I try the same with 'Set field in current item', the workflow status is 'Completed', but the destination field is always cleared. Do you have an idea why this happens?

But really once you upload a doc and add metadata, would you really updated aof its metadata? Depending of the number of records you have, maybe you can use an 'admin' field, tie the star of your workflow to its change and nartificialy change it in datasheet view for example...

I may use it on our environment. @Jason : You may be right, but my opinion would be to evaluate the added value of this extra workflow depending on the context. If Project Managers tend to often change within projects in your organisation, yes it would be great. In the other case, the first workflow would be enough because it updates itself when the document item is updated : "The workflow should run whenever a document is added or updated".
