Copy Item Function

Hi @N-I-1990,

you can´t update the item from the view form. I´d suggest adding a button which opens the workflow start form of the copy workflow. This works from edit and view mode. 

thanks for the reply, do you have any example.

Hi @N-I-1990,

1. go to your copy workflow and add a start form. 
2. open the start form once, the URL should look like this:
   _layouts/15/NintexForms/InitiateWorkflow.aspx?List={b723b334-56be-48a4-a510-a79afbae158b}&ID=1&ItemGuid={22BE5C1B-5C5B-4CE7-AD76-45F14463BCA4}&TemplateID={e57be936-b854-4e3f-93d3-88dda9669755}
   
   1. Please note the "ID=1" part. You can change this to start the workflow on any item, if you know the id.
3. On your item form, add a button which opens above URL.
   Change the ID=1 to ID={ItemProperty:ID} to open the copy form for the item you are opening.
4. The user now needs to click twice to copy, but can do so in view mode. The conditional start in the copy workflow is not necessary anymore. I am always selling the clicking twice to the users as a "confirmation" to copy the item
