Hi.

 

I have a List on a parent site and i want to show that list on a subsite. I dont want to just copy it, but actually a live-image on that list. If i change the data on the parent site, the change should be visible on the subsite. Is there a possible way to do that? If theres no webpart for it, maybe i can build a workflow?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

This may sound a little crazy but what if you create a Nintex form on a list on the subsite which has a List View control on it pointing to a list on the parent site and then host that form in a Nintex form webpart on the subsite.

Ed,

SharePoint on-prem web parts are notorious for limiting access to the site scope. If Nintex forms can achieve this, that would be great.

We've been using KwizCom Form tools which includes a web part for displaying list/libs across site collections. It's been very useful.
