Hi,

I couldn't find an answer to my question so i decided to post it. I'm wondering if there may appear some difficulties in my workflows and custom forms if i change the columns names in my list?

 

I have provided the english names columns and now it occur that they should be in my mother language instead, but all the forms and workflows are already done :(

 

Will it affect working of workflows and forms?

Thanks for replay :)

Most likely.
In general Nintex does not look at the columns internal name so changing the column name will break things.

Thanks,

Overall the consequencess were mixed. In places where I directly pointed out the columns from the drop-down lists everything was ok, but where I created rules or used vlookup list and I typed in the names of the lists or columns manually i needed to changed it.

 

Anyway it wasn't as bad as I imagined before :)

 

Thanks for help!
