Rules which apply to pages in forms
New page functionality is great! Wouldn't it be nice to make the pages conditionally appear based on other fields.

improve data lookup control with multi-value fields and more
The new Data Lookup control in the Forms designer needs at least these three additional features:
[1] Support for multi-value fields (really needed soon)
[2] Allowing multiple Option Labels that will show as multiple columns in the pull down.
[3] Selecting a field to sort the option list by.70 votesHi all,
We are currently working on the ability to return multiple properties from a Data Source. Will update this feature when I have more to share.

Pre-populating Answers and Repeating Sections
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…

I will update the ticket if we have anything to share on this idea.

Default Value for Data Lookup
Should be able to determine a default value for a Data Lookup control. This could be configured so that the default would be the "first" value returned by the control, or when the data lookup only returns one value it automatically becomes the value that is displayed.

Add category for Nintex Mobile
In the settings of the form (where we can set the title and description), having the possibility to type a category for the form would be really useful. So that the form can appear in a category in Nintex mobile app.

Dynamic dropdown options
Make the dropdown field options able to be determined by rules.
IF variable1 = 'x' THEN dropdown options = 'a,b,c'
IF variable1 = 'y' THEN dropdown options = 'd,e,f'etc.

Save and complete task form later
I would really love to see an option where I can save a task form and edit it later on, like the start forms.

Create PDF Rule of Completed Form
The ability from a form rule to create a PDF of the completed form.
Often on submit customers want to save a copy of the completed form itself in PDF format to a document store for record keep purposes.
Developers don't want to create a separate report for this purpose, a quick and dirty print to PDF that looks reasonably clean will tick the box for this requirement for auditability requirements.
The document should then be made available within the workflow to save away accordingly in a workflow event.

Security trim a form so only users who have permissions can access the form
Capability to show hide forms according to whom business owner decides. Some forms should only be available for few users within the business/department and the process owner should be able to give remove access.

If anyone has any feedback to share on how they see this capability working then please reach out to me directly.

Allow add buttons to NWC form
It would be very helpful if we could add buttons to NWC forms and specify what value they set to a field. For example, I would like to give my users the ability to click cancel on a form. Then the workflow will perform some tasks (like update the SP list item Status to "Cancelled") and then the workflow ends.
38 votesThanks for your suggestion. We will consider a button control for future releases.

Multilingual Forms
Currently, if forms in Nintex Workflow Cloud require support for multiple languages, the designer has to create a form for every language required. As an NWC workflow start event only supports one form, it means creating a workflow for every language required (unless someone has a better way).
It would be great if NWC supported language variations or, at the very least, allow one workflow to support multiple forms for language variations.

More Style and Font options
Workflow cloud forms have very limited font and style capabilities. It is very much a necessity to have a label/title font size, input font-size on controls and a font size option on the label rather than the existing Heading 1- 6 which is very limiting.
36 votesThank you for this feedback. We are working through a feature where users can gain more granular control over form styling targeting later this year. I will endeavour to keep you posted as soon as we are nearing completion..

Populate a NWC Forms single choice Form control with JSON objects from custom API
It would be good if we could automatically populate a single choice Form control (in my case it would be a drop-down list) using JSON objects obtained from a custom API (maybe populate the list by using an on Form load Rule?), and have it submit the supplied 'value' upon submission (in my case it would be a UID relating to records in our bespoke system).
This functionality I am after already exists within the Workflow Designer, via the values defined in the x-ntx-dynamic-values JSON vendor extension, but it does not appear to be possible within the Form Designer.
30 votesThanks for your suggestion Sam. We are currently looking into our Data Sources feature which allows you to connect to different systems and populate a drop down control.

Allow for HTML/JavaScript within labels or within a separate control on the form.
If we can add custom HTML/JavaScript to the NWC forms then we can enhance it in so many ways. From adding google address lookups to applying custom themes.

Repeating Section or Tables for for loading dynamic data
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…

Add Image in Header of multipage forms
When designing multi-page forms, it would be great to be able to add an image to the Header area for the entire form. Our main use-case for these forms to date has been external, anonymous forms to capture data back into our systems - in that case, we like to include our company logo at the top of the form. With multi-page forms, the only option I see is to add the logo to each page.
24 votesThanks for your suggestion Nicole. Adding images to the Rich Text editor is something we have been considering and added to the backlog.

Provide whole form data as a JSON object
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…

Ability to view & delete list item attachments in task form
We need the ability to view and delete attachments that are attached to a SharePoint list item, from a task form.
When approvers need to approve a form, they need to be able to see the attachments associated with the item. And if necessary, they may want to replace one of the existing attachments with a different attachment so they should be able to delete a specific attachment and then upload a new one.
