Designing forms for SharePoint external lists
This topic describes how to design forms for SharePoint external lists.
Nintex Forms supports designing the form of a SharePoint external list (external content types). You can change the controls of the external data columns. This ability to change controls is not available with out-of-the-box SharePoint external lists, which limit users to single line textboxes.
For more information on external content types, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee558737.aspx.
Note: The ID column is not supported in forms designed for SharePoint external lists. We recommend that the external content type manage the ID creation.
Note: External forms are not supported for these forms; you cannot publish forms designed for SharePoint external lists to the Nintex external platform.
