I am in SharePoint 2016 on premise. Created a Nintex form on a List. This list goes through an approval process using a workflow.

Users can initially attach documents to a list item (draft mode). But when the approval process starts, I only want the user to view the attachment(s) and don't want them to have the ability to add/remove them.

The “attachment” control that Nintex provides has its limitation. If I hide it, the user cannot view the attachments. In other words, hiding the attachment removes “Add/Remove” functionality and at the same time hides the attachment, as well.

How do I only allow the user to view the attachment.

Any help will be appreciated.

I think easiest is to just change the item permissions so the user only has Reading rights to the item once it goes into the approval process in the workflow, and no longer has Contribute permissions. You can use the “Set item permissions” action in the workflow to do this.


Hi @guru2000 
Did you manage to solve this question?
