Hi all,
I have this Nintex workflow (on SharePoint 2016 on premise) where the system will auto route the Nintex form to 8 different reviewers concurrently via email to edit their comments into a Nintex form with 8 different sections (1 section for each of the reviewers). The issue is that when someone is editing the form, the rest will have a save conflict on the same form. Is there any way to have concurrent updates on the same Nintex form or to prevent save conflict on a list?
Hi,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately this is a SharePoint limitation as it is SharePoint that is tracking who is editing the form at any given time. When using a SharePoint list there is no way to lock an item. When using a SharePoint library you can turn on Check out and Check in so that only one user can be editing the item/form at any given time.
Hi @llyehock
What @SimonMuntz stated is correct.
So when the form (#1) is loaded, it has only values that has been saved.
Should another manager save her comments (#2), this new comments is not reflected in the form (#1)
When form (#1) is submitted, it will overwrite the previous comments (#2)
A workaround that your can use is
- Use a Run parallel action that splits to 8 paths
- Add the Task Assign. Ask for Manager (n) comments.
- When the Manager submits the his/her comments, only a single column is updates (ok too if you want to log DateTime of comment)
- You may have the need to display the original form (how else to know what to approve or comment on) - use a link to the primary form
Hope that helps
