Hi all!

I am creating an item (a document, content type template) in a workflow (Nintex 2013).

The item should have a title and a description. The problem is that 10 columns/fields must contain content.

So I cannot save the workflow action without filling in those properties.

I want the user of the site to open the document at a time and the user should have to fill out the document so the columns have to be mandatory.

Ideas how I can work around this problem? Thanks!

Hi Nina,

I would recommend to configure the fields to be non-mandatory in SharePoint and afterwards edit the form your users use to update the document information so the fields will be mandatory only in the form but not in the list itself.

Could this be a valid workaround for you?

Regards

Philipp
