I am Nintex on Prem and relativly new. I have a choice column for "Need Assistance" yes/no. I set the workflow to run on all new when yes. How would the condition be set for modified? I only want the workflow to run again if it changes from No to yes when modified, and I only want it to run once when it is changed to yes. It might be that they change from no to yes then save. But go back into the item and update another field and save again, where the "Need Assistance is still marked yes. I don't want the workflow to keep running with every update to the items other fields.
Workflow settings to run modified only if value changes from no to yes

Hi,
Create a Yes/No column on the list that defaults to No on item creation. We will call it the "Run" column for this example.
Scenarios:
One:
Form submitted as "Need Assistance" No
"Run" Column set to "No" by default on item creation.
Conditional start workflow set to only start when Need Assistance is "Yes" and "Run" column is "No"
So workflow doesnt start.
Two:
Form submitted as "Need Assistance" Yes
"Run" Column set to "No" by default on item creation.
Conditional start workflow set to only start when Need Assistance is "Yes" and second column is "No"
So workflow starts and the first thing it does is set the "Run" column to "Yes" so that the workflow will not start again on the item no matter what.
