Reuse Repeating section Form control: If you add a Repeating section control to a form, you can now also reuse it as a start event variable by dragging and dropping it onto a task form.
This is a great added feature but still lacking on functionality. You can only display the repeating section from a start form to task forms. This is still very restrictive for all business needs that are out there. We are still lacking the following components for repeating sections in NAC that make it difficult as we migrate from Nintex Workflow for Office 365 to NAC.
- Make repeating sections open for editing after drag/drop or add default value on repeating sections to pass start event variable through to this configuration. They should act as a default concept and editable if we allow it for task owners to edit if needed. Not all processes include just reviewing data on a task form. Some processes actually involve task owners editing information on the task form and handing it over to another queue for review (multiple tier levels of review and approvals etc).
- Make repeating sections compatible and transferrable between task form in NAC and Nintex Forms for Office 365 - both ways. There are several reasons we cannot use start event forms in NAC (primarily due to double the work involved with creating TWO FORMS since it’s not sitting on top of the list item when an item is opened from a list related to a workflow in NAC). Currently repeating sections does NOT have a way to pass repeating section from Nintex Form for Office 365 into a Task Form, other than building a string. We’d need the same concept, pass through to task form and show as a repeating section and allow editing if needed by task owner.
