Accessing FormData

We are creating an item in a SharePoint List through a Nintex Site workflow. Everything is working fine in that process.

 

However we have some fields which are saved only in the FormData of the Nintex Form which  cannot be accessed for the newly created item. It seems that to read and write on the Form Data through a Nintex Site Workflow, the item Form has to be opened manually at least once.

 

Has anyone experienced a similar behaviour and any workarounds found?

Hi,

What you are seeing is expected behavior. The hidden Form Data column will not populate until you open the item and then save it.

The only workaround would be to Update/Create the XML in the Form Data column at the time of item creation.
