Good day, I have a SharePoint Online list, with a Choice field (Department) for the user to select from to create a new entry.  ex. Marketing, Sales, Finance, and Development

Let’s say the SharePoint list is new, there are no records from user submissions. Can I access the SharePoint choice control, and use the SharePoint choice column’s available selections for users to populate my Nintex form? If yes, how? 

 

If no, are my options:

  • Hardcode the  Marketing, Sales, Finance, and Development choices directly into the Nintex form, or
  • Use the Data lookup and create another SharePoint list where I prepopulate it with; Marketing, Sales, Finance, and Development records. 

 

Hi Steve,

 

You’re correct - you can’t interrogate the list column and have those appear as choices in your choice control so the two options that you’ve listed are the best. 

 

Also instead of using a data lookup control, I’d still use the choice control - it provides either hard coded or data lookup options.
