Nintrex Workflow Cloud needs a method of re-populating repeating sections or use of dynamic tables. My scenario is as follows: a form is completed and may have a repeating section field with one or more rows; the data is stored, including data about bow many rows were created in the repeating section. Later the data is retrieved and needs to repopulate the fields so the form may be amended in some way. I am unable to do this with the current form tools. Tables are a defacto part of many forms and I don't understand why they aren't available in Nintex WC; similarly I find it strange that I am able to store the number of rows in a repeating field, but not pass a dynamic or conditional value for the default number or use some other control to set the value dynamically.

Ability to type text in the field if the option Is not available in the list.

It is not available in either of the Fields - Multiple or Single Select.

Also giving the drop-down option to multiple select, so the form looks cleaner and does not have several check boxes to select.

Aware of these:
1) Create a Text Short Field -> change Visible to NO

2) In your dropdown, add a value called "Please select"

3) Create a rule -> If drop down value is "Please Select" then Visible to yes for the text field and else visible to NO

• It just takes one spot on the field, which will either stay empty or appear when they select please select. (Was not aware of the use of please select option in the rules)

Thank You

There are occasions when completing a Date field is a little cumbersome, since you have to use the calendar popup. It's not a big deal if you're selecting a date in the near past or near future, but if you're trying to enter (for example) a birthdate or hire date, you have to do a lot of clicking to go back to the appropriate year and then potentially click several more times to get to the appropriate month. Our previous forms software allowed for manual entering of dates (while still proscribing the format, e.g., DD/MM/YYYY); it would be nice if the Nintex date field could do the same - or something that would prevent so much clicking.

In my organisation, forms need be signed-off by several levels of management before they are complete. If they're unsatisfied with anything, this can be passed back to the previous stage. This means I need to save and recover the current answers, then pre-populate them in the form at each stage.

Currently I do this by saving answers to a SQL database, then recalling them as a comma delimited string and using a substring to 'cut up' the answers. I did try extracting each answer as a row in a Collection (by using a Pivot table in SQL), but this required a separate variable for each element and in larger forms, lead to the workflow being too large to save.

There doesn't appear to be a way to do this with Repeating Sections. I can't find any way of specifying which index you would like to refer to within a Repeating Section, and this also makes saving answers very difficult (though I found a method of doing this).

To pre-populate answers, you'd need to consider JSON, comma delimited lists as an input, or at least allow users to specify an index. Specifying index 4 for example would allow the user to per-populate the 4th instance, and create instances 1-3 if they don't already exist, to ensure it's in the correct place.

A general 'repopulate using previous answers' option would be ideal - similar to what Survey123 does, but integrated into the workflow. In my mind, it would bring back the form in the same state it was submitted earlier in the workflow, with all the answers pre-populated.

Ideally it would also work within loops, to allow the user to create a workflow which loops through different levels of authority, while keeping the current answer set.

Hello,

I have a workflow with 8-10 levels of approval. The workflow is initiated by an API. I then have to copy the data points (about 100 fields) into a local variable. I then have a task form which will be set with default values from local variable. In essence I need to display all the data received to the Approver.

Now I have further challenge. Approvers can make changes to data before Approving. After every stage of Approval I need to send a snapshot of information back to the API.

This means I need to copy the data one by one again from Form Variable into local variable and then set these local variables as parameters to the API.

What would be great is, if the whole form object be available as one Json - I can just send that json to the API.

Also, if the vice versa of either mapping a form to an object, or to a json and if the form get prepopulated, it would be awesome.
