Can people access an old item in a list and retrofit into a new form by changing date

Hi,

I'm not sure I understood the scenario. I understood you have a Nintex Form on a list that already has items. Now when opening an existing item and modifying values you don't want the original item to be updated but instead have a copy of the item in the same list. Is that correct? If that's the case the form will not help you with this. SharePoint only knows "new", "edit" and "view" operations but not "save a copy".

For scenarios like this you could work with two lists and create items in the second list by using a workflow.

If I understood you wrong it might be helpful to describe your scenario a bit deeper and give some screenshots.

Best regards

Hmm,

I never tried this but I can hardly imagine this will work like in infopath. In Infopath every item was basically a file (a form.xml) but in SharePoint you create items or at least list items for a file in a document library.

What I found is this:  

Maybe this helps a bit?
