Make task forms configurable by URL pointing to the Nintex Item Form
Scenario: List item Nintex Data Input Form with 5 sections. Corresponding 5 task workflow that fills out the 5 data input sections of the List item Nintex Data Input Form. Currently you can export List item Nintex Data Input Form and then import it into each of the 5 task's forms. This makes the workflow quickly grow to beyond your 500kb workflow limit. Also this make for an incredible amount of maintenance because any single change to the List item Nintex Data Input Form, require a corresponding export and 5 imports to each of the 5 task forms. A better way would be have the option to have the task form be configurable by URL to the List item Nintex Data Input Form. This way any updates to the List item Nintex Data Input Form would be picked up by all of the 5 corresponding tasks.

I definitely agree that this would be great. I would even be happy with a check box in the Task/FlexiTask/Request Data actions that says "Use Item Form for Task" then we can just build out the single item form to collect all the data. We'd need forms to create the custom buttons based on what results were configured in the task. It would also help from a data growth perspective when we have many tasks in a very common workflow (task list grows incredibly large very fast).
