How to connect managed metadata control to a workflow variable

[Ness-Larsen]

Hi everyone,

I'm creating a custom start form for a Nintex Workflow in Nintex Forms (2013). I'm trying to connect a managed metadata control to a variable so I can then do stuff with it (namely update metadata in a copied item), but I can't for the life of me figure out what type of variable it binds to - it's not showing any options for me. Does anyone know whether it's possible to connect a managed metadata control to a workflow variable?

Thanks!

Hi Vanessa,  Managed Meta Data form controls can only be connected to MMD columns in a list/library and cannot be inserted into a workflow variable.
