Choosing workflow to start
It would be great to have dropdown menu with existing list or site workflows depending on choosen workflow type within "Start workflow" action, or sorta lookup on list of workflows. Because it can prevent mistypings, and would be rather convenient.

when comparing with person field - cannot choose person
when I'm trying to make a comparison of field "modified by" , I cannot put in speciefic person, like in Nintex Workflow 2010, in other words field is not a peoplepicker, just a singleline text field. So I cannot choose person to compare.

more options in wait for item update
it would be very helpful if this action has the options available in nintex 2013/16 other than just equal to.
for ex: not equal, to be empty, not empty, greater than, less han, contain, not contain etc.,8 votes -
Ability to make comments optional/mandatory for task outcomes
In SharePoint On-premises a power-user have the ability to make Comments mandatory or optional for each task-outcome. This feature is not available in Nintex Online.
it will be great if Nintex can enable same for Online as this will help power users.

Provide examples
I wish you would provide examples of how to use Nintex functions. I am a visual learner and need to see examples of how something works. Your site is totally useless to me. For example, I want to see how the Switch function is used in a workflow. Your site does a horrible job of explaining how to use it. Nothing on our version matches what is out there in the community either, it is all outdated. Very frustrating

Email Action
Fix all the issues with the Email Action fonts and styles. You have to create the email in Notepad, then paste the text into the email action, set the preferred styles and fonts, add the attributes and hope that the email works....9 times out of 10, the email fonts are not correct

Save and Continue option for Task Form
Please add a Save and Continue button for Task Forms within Nintex Workflow, similar to what is available in Nintex Forms.
Example: Manager fills out form that creates list item, starts workflow, and assigns task to employee that is due in 2 weeks. The employee receives an email notification with a link to complete their assignment (task form), however it is quite lengthy and will need to fill it out in several sessions. The task form has validation rules to hide and require certain fields. Save and Continue should not cause validation to occur. Only Save and Submit.

Manual start of site workflows
Currently Nintex Online does not allow a way to toggle manual start for site workflows.
Case: As Nintex on-prem has this setting, any site workflow with such settings gets migrated as-is. As tools like Sharegate does not have a way to reset the flag, the migrated workflows could never be run manually.

Calculated columns do not show up in Query list filter conditions
While update items shows calculated columns in the filter conditions, query list does not. It seems like a bug!
Kindly review and let us know.

Connection Manager for "Web Request"
Connection Manager is now available for Office 365. However, action "Web Request" was not included. I would suggest Nintex to enhance this.

proper tool for triggering mail and asigning task
In parallel workflow for doc approval if there are two branches B1 & B2 then if B1 accepts doc and B2 rejects then again the doc to be modified then the B1 must not be triggered mail & assigned a task only B2 must be getting a task. Do a tool for that

View all connections in Connection Manager
Currently, in the Connection Manager, Administrators are only able to view Shared Connections.
It would be great to have it where Administrators can view Shared and Personal Connections.
Additionally, it is currently set where you can only see where the Share connection is located in the site. It would be great to see where it is located through out the tenant instead of each site.

Run If fields should be switched
We are finding the new Run If fields awkward. We think that the first two fields should be swtiched with the last field. I have an image attached as a sample of what it looks like today.

update item permissions for users from external domain
O365 Nintex workflow doesn't support those domains not managed by us. For example, some other organizations have their own O365 accounts so now when those users come on board, we need to create a Security Group in SharePoint group, add the external user into the group after he accepts the invitation. Then we need to add the user to the Security Group. Then re-run the workflow to grant permissions to the user. A lot of manual steps.

Retrieve data in Nintex online
What's equivalent action to Retrieve data in Nintex online? If none, then what's alternative?
39 votesThe work around for this is to create a list with the appropriate columns to store the data one wants. Use update list to store the data and query list to retrieve the data.

Copy to SharePoint Action required
I have multiple site collections which store controlled master documents (Word format), once approved a PDF copy needs to also be made available from one central library location (open access for all staff). Copy to SharePoint action is sorely missed in O365.
46 votesHi Kent,
We are just in the process of planning a new action will allows copying of documents across the whole tenant.
Cheers, Rick
