Working through things I was wondering could i create an if loop in my workflow to check if Application Owner = other, then once inside the if run block it creates a workflow variable for NewAppOwnerGroupName and NewAppOwnerEmail?
If this is viable i am not sure how i would populate the workflow variable from the text box in the form?
I assume once i have the workflow variable i can use create list item to add it to the application owner list.
Just in case others need this little help (ok it took me a good bit to figure out with banging my head on the laptop but anyways)
What i did to allow the user to add information to separate list was
1. Create rule that unhides GroupName and GroupEmail text boxes, and sets both as required.
2. Once user populates the fields and submits it create the list item with Other as application name.
3. I have a runIf in my workflow that checks for ApplicationOwner = other and if true creates 2 variables from the form data. (I got that information from NintexForumLink )
4. Then moves to the review state machine.
5. If approved using create item a new item will be created with new group name and email in the app owner list and output id is set to work flow variable newItemID.
6. using an update item it takes the newItemId value and updates the application owner to new value.
