Copying documents attached to a Nintex form to a SharePoint Online Document Library

Hi ​@seanobryant65,

I just wanted to let you know that the action you are using is to move files from a document library to a repository.
It sounds like you want to add your attachments to a document library.

If this is the case, use the SharePoint Online Store a File action.

That is probably what I need, but I am trying to store the documents that the user attaches to the form.  Those are the documents I want to store in SharePoint online.  I do not see a way to capture those.  I am able to attach them to an email notification, but the form variable is not active when I use the store a file action.

Hi ​@seanobryant65,

A file upload control can hold multiple files so it has a data type of collection.
When you attach files to an email, you are attaching all the files, so the action accepts the collection.
As a document library can only have one file per item, you cannot send all the files at once.

You can either loop through them as per Rick's post, or you can use the get item from the collection action and store the file in a file data type, which can then be used in the store a file action.

Hi ​@seanobryant65 
Has your question been answered? 

I figured out a way to do it that works well.  First I added to the form a “Yes No” selection, giving the person filling out the form the option of attaching a file or not.  Then in my workflow I added a run if true.  Set a variable for the attachments and if the user selected yes then run “Get item from collection” where the target collection was the attachment section of the form.  Stored items in a variable and then used a “Store a file” action to write the attachment(s) to a sharepoint doc library..
