Nintex Forms 2013 Repeating Section display in SharePoint List

Hi Dawn,

The way I did it was using a Nintex Workflow. The list to contain the repeating section row details needs to have an extra column where you store the Item ID of the Nintex Form so you have a link between the form and the associated list items. Also, you need to give the Repeating Section a name.

Whenever a Nintex Form is stored (created or changed), it triggers the workflow which (in my case) and in a nutshell does the following:

1. Checks if in the list items exist with the current form's ID and if so delete them
2. Next the workflow queries the XML ({ItemProperty:FormData}) of the repeating section (Output 1 gets XPath string //rsName and store it in text variable
3. Next you need to decode the previouos result, using the fn-XmlDecode() function in a Build String action
4. Next I determine the number of items and use a Loop action to process each repeating section row, using the loop index, to use another Query XML (input is the decoded result from step 3) and with an output XPath string for each field/column in your repeating section which should look something like: //Items/Item[{WorkflowVariable:numLoopIndex}]/Field_1_Name
5. In the loop, you now can create a new list item for the current repeating section row.

Hi Dawn,

I'll see to send you a picture tomorrow as today I'm quite busy. As to the Loop Index, I have a Num variable LoopIndex which increases with 1 right before the end of the loop in order to know which I row I'm on. Because rows in a repeating section are stored in an array like structure and you only can access, even if you 1 row, the data via an index. As for the 4 fields in a repeating section row, these you can extract in Output 1 - Output 4 in the 2nd Query XML I mentioned above.

Here is a screen shot of the workflow:

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thank you for you help. I have it working now.
