I am attempting to change the instance name to reflect variables in the start form using the 'Set instance name.' I understand that this action should change the instance name in the My Nintex dashboard to the selected variables in the action. This will make the instance easily identifiable by the user. Is the action configured correctly? There is no change in the name reflected in the My Nintex dashboard.
See attached screenshots.

Hi
This is odd behavior.
The only thing I can think of is that the form control variables that you are using may not be a string.
For instance, if you try using a people picker form control, the instance name will not populate correctly.
On a side note, you do not need an end workflow action at the end of your workflow, as it will end when it reaches the Workflow Complete action.

Simon,
Thanks for the feedback. I used the ‘Create a text string’ action to combine the start from variables into a single text string and then added that newly created workflow variable to the ‘Set instance name’ action. It works fine now. I also deleted the ‘End workflow’ action. See below.
