Additional Information
If Content Types are not presented in the List Settings, navigate to Advanced Settings and set 'Allow management of content types?' to 'Yes'. The Nintex Task Outcomes [GUID] content types each relate to one task action in a workflow (i.e. Assign a Task). The content type that is related to your workflow action can be identified by:
- Start your workflow and allow it to create a new task
- Open the newly created task
- Click on the URL in the browser; take note of the 'ContentTypeID' parameter in the URL.
Example: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Lists/Workflow%20Tasks/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=https%3A%2F%2Ftenant%2Esharepoint%2Ecom%2Fsites%2FMySite%2FLists%2FWorkflow%2520Tasks%2FAllItems%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0108003365C4474CAE8C42BCE396314E88E51F00EC744AD16B86432F8DDA7FC185956329001D0E2D42D3A246BABE2D6E2DDBC3441E007C56FBB9DDC1104BB4C58AD64C30CB37
- In the List Settings, click on a Nintex Task Outcomes [GUID] content type.
- Click on the URL in the browser; take note of the 'ctype' parameter in the URL.
Example: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/_layouts/15/ManageContentType.aspx?List={EF7FD207-204D-48C2-A84D-1C222A0EA943}&ctype=0x0108003365C4474CAE8C42BCE396314E88E51F00EC744AD16B86432F8DDA7FC185956329001D0E2D42D3A246BABE2D6E2DDBC3441E007C56FBB9DDC1104BB4C58AD64C30CB37
- If there are many content types on a Task List, this process can be cumbersome. To expedite the process, the ContentTypeID can be appended to the ctype parameter (i.e. copy/paste the ID into the URL)
