Hi

The ID field in a list is hidden in a specific view.  When an item is edited, this field remains hidden.  How would you display it in the Nintex EditForm?

Thanks for all your help.

Regards

Renee

Hi

You can't have the ID column on a nintex form.

Hi Renee,

you can place a formula control on your form and have it shown the ID item property. You will not be able to change it but you can show it to the user. Would that help?

HI Enrico

Thanks so much. That would be perfect.  What would the formula be?

Hi Renee,

the formula is just ID, picked from the Item Properties tab.

Thanks for the info but we do not wish the ID field to appear on the NewForm just on the EditForm.

Would the above work in this scenario?

Perfect. In that case add a rule to the formula control (and its label):

Don't forget to check the hide box:

The will hide the control whenever the current form status is not Edit Mode.

Hope this helps,

Enrico

Fantastic - thank you,  It worked like a charm!  Why didn't I think of this solution?
