Using Nintex Workflows 2010, at the start of the workflow (infopath), we need to get the context item id. This is given when using a task form within the workflow (NWContext). However, this is not available on the workflow start form. Any ideas!?

I searched around and it seems the same question was fired on Nintex Connect...but no answers there either.

Nintex Connect - No NWContext in InfoPath form at start forms


I know this has been open a while, but just in case people are still looking.

I've been trying to do the same, Nintex Support have said you need update the Workflow Manage Context Data screen in Central Admin. Now I'm trying to find the fully qualified field names to enter as help guide only says you can add or delete context data fields.


Official answer from Nintex support - Infopath start forms do not get the nwcontext file by design as some fields are inappropriate (e.g. approver comments).

I've raised a request on nintex.uservoice.com for an appropriate version of the file to be added for start forms - supporting votes appreciated
