Updated 'Start NWC workflow' action
The existing action to externally start a NWC workflow from O365 requires the full start URL with token - the main issue with this is that the url has to be hardcoded, so the only way to replace an expired token is to open the workflow and update it manually.
Even with one workflow this would be annoying to keep track of and you'd have to schedule a day annually where you refresh the token and replace the url (else the 365 workflow will start failing to call NWC), however many of our workflows call NWC more than once, then…

Create PDF from HTML, Enhanced Rich Text field (with Pictures and Tables), or Other File
Would really like to see the ability to create PDFs that can be saved to Document Libraries that are generated from existing HTML or from any other type of file format (email, .rtf, etc.) Not looking for additional tagging or anything (like what DocGen provides). Simply looking for a PDF Converter for an existing file.
Doc Gen has been unsuccessful for generating PDFs from existing HTML content that includes formatted tables. Really could benefit from being able to generate PDFs on the fly from already existing content.

Line Breaks in MultiLine Plaintext Textboxes?
How about supporting the ability to do new lines in multi-line plain text textboxes?
An example would be a comments field, where multiple comments are entered. You should be able to use the Regular Expression action to replace a temporary character (eg ~) where you want the line break to be, with \r\n. The Regular Expression action even tells you to use .NET syntax, which is \r\n but it doesn't work.
I've googled and googled for a solution but can't find a solution for Nintex 365. Seems like such a simple thing but it can't be done, at least not…

Nintex Sign & SharePoint Metadata
There is a serious gab in the O365 Nintex for adobe sign action. We need the ability to return some sort of SharePoint Library ID so then we can update any other metadata that is associated with the file. It is fine to just give us an ID so then in a second action we can do the update by ID.

Make Managed Metadata (taxonomy) actions
I would like to see some easy to use fields for Managed Metadata. I should be able to get/set an MM field, single or multi, in one live action. It seems like an easy one to make and would save workflow development time.

Populate collection-variable from item
When using the "set variable" action I can populate any list-field into a variable.
However: if the field is of type "choice" or "lookup" and the field allows multiple values, I would assume that I could populate a collection, containing all values of my "multi-choice" or "multi-lookup" field.
However, this is not the case. Instead a choice column with multiple values creates a JSON-string suggesting collection-of-strings. But this is just a string. Similar for lookups.
Instead I have to query the list and return the result into a collection. This way I get a collection of values - why can't…

Template matching with DocuSign using Nintex Workflow action
We will like to use Nintex Workflow DocuSign actions and to be able to make use of the automatic template matching.
It looks like this is not possible with Nintex Workflow for Office 365, Version: 1.0.4.3 as this feature is not implemented.Automatic template matching compares the files that you upload with all previously saved templates. Based on the sensitivity setting you select, if the match is close enough, you can choose to apply the matching template to your document, either automatically or with a notification. When you apply a matched template, all aspects of the template are applied to…

Add ServiceNow connector
It would be great to have a serviceNow connector added as an action which allow you to add, update, delete and retrieve Servicenow data. This is already available in NWC but not yet in Nintex O365 Workflow

Date format is one of the common use-case in Nintex workflows. It'll be great if Nintex can build this feature.

Confirmation or Error when Workflow is trusted
In Workflow Settings-->General, clicking on "Grant access to Workflow" then "Trust it" does not result in a confirmation that it was completed successfully or an error that it was unable to complete because I am not a tenant administrator. Also, once the grant has completed successfully, re-entering this screen should show that it has already been granted Trusted access. If I enter this screen without tenant administrator rights then I should get a warning to that fact and be only able to review whether the Trusted procedure has been completed or not.

Assign a task without sending notification email
Currently, Nintex Workflow for Office 365 does not provide any out-of-the-box functionality to assign a task without sending notification email to the assigned people in the workflow. Can we have this feature to choose not to send email to the assigned people in the Workflow Tasks which was previously available in Nintex 2010 as option - "None".
