I have two Lists. Each time a nintex form is filled in, it creates a new item in list A which includes amongst other fields a field for 'Surname' and a field called 'Compliant'.

List B is a current list of all employees, approx 500 entries

Each time a new item is added to list A,  I would like to update the Field named 'RR_Compliant' with value = 'Yes' in List B for the list item with the same surname as the one entered in list A.

Hi Joe,

You can create nintex workflows an then add  "run if" and "item updates" action base your condition


Hope this can help you

In the workflow settings, you can check if certain values are changed because you can compare previous value with new value. If they change you can run the work flow and update the columns that need to be updated.
