Sharepoint Online Nintex 365 New Responsive Form - dropdown items not updated when add new entry


Badge +2

Steps to duplicate:

Create a dropdown and link to a field in the Sharepoint list that contains 4 items

Add a new entry to the Sharepoint list so it now contains 5 items (or whatever, the exact number does not matter)

Open the form in New mode or Edit mode

        results: the new item does not show up

Open the form in Designer

        results: the new items does not show

To get the item to show must Re-Publish the form!!!!!!  

NOT the best way to keep up with users adding/removing items.

I ASSUME this is a BUG - as the from is supposed to be LINKED to the field it should update itself?

Hello @Roboman, actually I have tried the same steps and there is no issue. any new item in the lookup list will appear in the New Responsive Form without re-publishing the form.

Thanks for the quick reply 🙂
You mention Lookup list.
Just to be clear, I am not doing any Lookups, I am using a plain dropdown control that is linked to a List CHOICE field.
Add new item to the Choice fields, does not show in the dropdown unless I re-publish the form

@Roboman 


You should use a Lookup List as mentioned by @DimaHijazi 


This way you can add or remove items without the need to republish the form.


 


Your method describe the use of Choice type column or field.



The number of rows in the SharePoint list is irrelevant.
What is important is the number of choices.



You need to edit the column in order to add or remove the Choices.


After that you will also need to refresh and republish the Form.



The number of items is "locked" during development.
