aDrop down list showing distinct values from a document library


Badge +3

I have a document library with documents organised within document sets.

When someone uploads a new document I want my workflow to display a start form with a dropdown box listing all the values of a column in that library. I've got the dropdown showing the values but I can't get rid of duplicates; pointing the dropdown box to a library view where I've grouped by this column doesn't give any results at , but if I remove the view I get all the values again.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to get distinct values in the dropdown?

forgot to mention this is workflow and forms 2010, and it doesn't return values if I use any view

I've been advised by Nintex support that this is not achievable without custom java or other dark arts; can an option to display unique values only be added in a future update?
