I am using a state machine for a workflow implementation. The default/first state of the state machine sets up variables etc for the workflow. This state also sets the Title on the list item based on values entered in the initiation form.
After setup, the workflow transitions to state #2 that assigns the first workflow task. Although the item title is populated, the link for ‘Related Content’ on the Workflow tasks display shows as ‘(no title)’. I have tried to set this value directly from Nintex before the task is assigned but apparently Nintex explicitly forbids updating this column since it cannot be selected on an ‘Item Update’ task.
After the first task is completed and the workflow transitions to the state #3 to assign the next task, ‘Related Content’ shows the title set in the first state. Why does this not get set before the first task is assigned?
My client does not like this and wishes to have ‘Related Content’ populated before the first task is assigned. Is this possible? Am I missing something?
I suppose I could create an event receiver on my list to set this column on item create but I was hoping to do this via workflow.
Any help is much appreciated.
