Viewing list form attachments on a task form on Nintex for office365

What if you just put the link to the attachment in a variable and wrote it to the task list when you create the task?

What do you mean write it to the task list when I create the task, can you elaborate?

follow this and instead of copying to a new doc library, use the Variable:AttachmentURL to copy it the task list by matching the task ID that you used when you created the task.

Also, you can just copy the entire attachment over if you want by following the whole post.

Yah I’m not sold on this solution either. You are saying once I attach that task item, then I can show the task control on the form and display them? If not this would be useless.

Ok then... just trying to help. Good luck

I appreciate it, I’m finding there is just too many limitations to the software at least the 0365 version. It’s a shame.

So I finally got it.

Web Request -> Responds with xml in text field.

Query XML -> Populates a collection field.

Foreach – iterates through each item in collection.

• Build String -> Creates the html with the links to attachments and puts in variable.

Lastly put the variable on form using a rich text editor control.

Joe, could you provide an example screenshot for each action in your workflow?

The easier way to do it is to use Javascript!

Try this
 

For our own projects we have created a bigger version too. 

That works perfectly on O365

Hi, friend,

I have the same problem. Did you manage to find a solution?

@jgabella Do you think this would work the other way around? 

I'm currently trying to get any attachments on the Task form to populate back into the form itself -- when the task form is completed I cant find where those attachments live to populate them back into the main form.
