Allow disabled fields to be saved
Currently, if you disabled a field by a form rule, the value of this field will not be saved.
This is quite confusing, due some times we need to set values automatically (and conditionally).
For example, Validator 2 (people picker) must be:
Johan Wilburg if my affiliate is UK (disabled, due it's automatically set)
Anne Parnet if my affiliate is France (disabled, due it's automatically set)
Other cases field not be set automatically and user must set it value manually.
I can build rules to do that, but the problem is: If someone creates a new form or edit an existing one, the "Validator 2" field, if it was disabled due automatic calculation, will not be saved (if it's an edition, the previous value is completelly deleted).
It will be great to have a "disable but save value" option on Nintex Forms, to avoid this kind of issues (Really, in my company we are turning crazy with this, and this is the main reason of Nintex Workflows errors --> WF is not able to find the next validator due someone edited the form, and deleted the disabled fields values accidentally).
Best regards.

For us, if we uncheck the "Enabled" box under appearance, then the default value does not save to the list. If we disable the control via a rule (e.g. set the function to 1==1) then the default value does save.
