We are trying to replicate the N365 process of writing task info to a “task list”. It’s nice that NAC stores tasks, but we have audited processes and need our task data stored locally on our site (like the previous versions of Nintex did it). in a SharePoint list, or task list. We are using the “Get task” action, but are facing some issues trying to grab the relevant task form URL because it is way more than 255 characters.

Hi
Just a suggestion.
As your tenant's name never changes, could you maybe just store /task-forms/65afe75a-3b2a-5555-9afe-18dfe8896673_def94783-fb71-5951-a2af-cece29610b5c
Or
Use a multi lines of text column in SharePoint?
On a side note, you must have a long tenant name as my tests showed that the URL for my tenant with a reasonably long name was only 130 characters.
My tenant name is not long. The url has a token in it. This is what is making the url long. If I remove the token, I get an error saying the task has been cancelled. See my attached screenshot.
Just did a little more research. It looks like because I have “assignee authentication” turned off, the task url is generating a token which is making the url very long. How do I get around this? I don’t want the 5k people in my org to have to authenticate every time they complete a task.
Hi
Does using a multiple-lines of text column help with this issue?
The column allows for 6000 characters.
Hey Simon, I’d like to thank you for your promptness here on this forum. It’s great that you guys are here to offer help. So, the multiline text column did store the url, but it does not come in as a clickable link, just the link text (I do have it set to enhanced rich text as well). However, I did find a solution. If I take that form url and use the “create a string” action, I can wrap it in an href tag and it now works.
