Hello,

I have a workflow in place (nintex wf for O365) to break inheritance after an item is submitted. The workflow works perfect when I submit a form everything I need stripped is removed and groups and users that need to be reapplied are applied but when the next person submits a new form, users names and other groups get applied to my submission. I cannot for the life of me figure this out… help?!

Below is my setup.

 

 

“Run IF” control:

Variable created to capture users names and groups:

 

 

 

Update item permissions control:
*note: this is just the setup of the first control you see in the WF above..

Hi @jpacheco 

 

It appears that you are applying the action whenever an items item is not null, this would be anything with a title. You should instead use where the items ID = that for the context item ID variable to ensure the only item updated is the one the workflow is running on.
