Dear all,

Due do management decision, a workflow that I wrote needs to be modified as follow :

• in a list (a) from a nintex forms, I launch a nintex workflow which generate a approve/reject task;
• in the task form, the user is choosing one2many items (apple, bread, fruit juice) from another list (b);
• whether the task is approved or rejected is not really important, but the choice(s) of the user within the task (one2many of the list b) must be sent back to the original list (a).

For example :

• from the list (a), I create a new request "which product would you be happy to order today ?" which contain my phone number and a comment column;
• the workflow generates a task to the recipient allowing him/her to :
  • put a comment
  • choose one2many products from a list (this works pretty fine)
• the workflow must then in the (a) list item :
  • update the username + comment (which is fully fine);
  • update also the lookup column related to the one2many choosen products

What I could not achieve is to refill this last element : give back on list (a) what was chosen on the task by the recipient.

Data examples :

List (a) columns :

- Whom | When             | What                                       |

- Jerry   | April-22-2022 | <empty>                                  |

I've red some posts about using ;#;# but I must admit... I could not understand why and how.

Thanks a lot for your help on this .
