Hi,

I'm trying to approve a task by using workflows.

What I'm doing is 

   - query task list and find task (no problem)

Then I want to update the outcome column but I'm unable to find this column in the workflow step

and I cannot find the column in sharepoint list settings, however it's available in the view.

However I can get this column in the query action

How can I make this column available in the update item?

Thanks & regards

is this a workflow task assigned in the same workflow?

Can you use the "Complete workflow task" action?

Hi,

No, it's a different workflow. I'm creating the task in one workflow and I want to approve it in a different one.

I already did this in o365 by using a column called "Task workflow" and everything works fine, but now I'm not able to use this column (I can use it but task is not getting approved). 

If I can change the outcome column and use the task outcome column would be great as well, but whrn I edit the nintex task form I don't have task outcome column

Hi Alicia,

from within your workflow you can call the Nintex-WebService to complete your tasks. Use either the ProcessFlexiTaskResponse or ProcessTaskResponse methods to complete a task remotely. See the Nintex Workflow SDK for further information on how to call these methods.
