Copy to SharePoint not working in Nintex WF 2016

Hi,

I am in the process of migrating a workflow from SP2010/Nintex Workflow 2010 into SP2016 on prem with Feature Pack 2 and Nintex Workflow 2016.

The workflow uses the Copy to sharepoint action to copy list item attachments from a list into a document library for later processing.

This works fine in 2010 but in 2016, using the same settings

Create folder structure - yes

Copy item meta data - yes

The attachments are not being created in the document library, the action completes without error. I have tried using both the "Select a location andd the Enter a URL" options for destination. I have also have site collection admin access.

The source list and destination library are in the same site.

Any ideas, could this be an issue with our SP2016 setup, if so what could I pass onto our staff that manage our system?

I think that attachments are not allowed on SP2016 Doc Libs

But, the action (at least in SP2010) should store the list item attachments as individual documents in the document library.

Unless that has changed?

Have you got any help with this? I am having the same issue. In my case, Copy to SharePoint it does work when I use in a the List the workflow lives (Workflow List) but if I use it in a Workflow Task List, it wont work.
