Lookup Data in the same list

I have a form created in InfoPath that i’m trying to recreate in Nintex Forms (on-premis) which shows all the other items that the current user has created within the list when the user adds a new item to the list.  So it shows a table on the form that populates when the user adds a new item.  Is this possible? If so, how do I go about doing it.  I know how to do lookups, but I’d like it to show all the items that the user has created in a table (possibly repeating section).

Hi ​@DonnaA,

I don’t think that a table can be dynamically created in a Nintex Form to display list items.
Would using the List View control resolve your issue?

One more thing, i have noticed that the ‘Add new item’ link appears in this view, is there a way of removing that?

Hi ​@DonnaA,

Glad to hear that the list view control helps with your form migration.

To remove the add new item link, I suggest adding CSS to the form.

  1. From the form designer ribbon, click Settings.
  2. In the Custom CSS section add the below code.
  3. Click Save and then test.
.ms-addnew {
display: none !important;
}
