Hello,

I am somewhat of a novice in using Nintex. Creating a form from a single SharePoint list is easy; however, I have three SharePoint Lists that I need to connect to one Nintex form. The total number of data columns exceeds the SharePoint limits, hence multiple lists.

The goal is that the end user only has to go to one Nintex form to enter data (which populates back to one of the SharePoint lists) and to view information and progress of their project. 

Is there a version of Nintex, a webpart, a parent-child relationship, or any other option that allows one form to connect to multiple SharePoint lists? If so, what might that be?

Thank you!

This isn’t possible out of the box. You’d have to start working with workflows and complicating it a lot if you want to go there. You can let a Nintex form display information from other lists, but not directly write information back.

If a user has to enter so much information that it doesn’t fit on a single list, you can divide the information between separate lists. Then let the user enter the first part on the first list, add a hyperlink to the Save button that links to the form for the second list where they can add the next part of the information. And so on.

Thank you, BobR! I think the redirect to another list will work GREAT for my purposes.
