I have created a form in InfoPaththat I have uploaded to make accessible on
SharePoint. The user clicks a link that brings up the form (for adjustment
requests that go to the accounting department), fills it out, attaches
documentation for the request, and then clicks on submit. This then creates
an item in the forms library, which enables a different department
(accounting) to bring it up after all approvals to edit fields the first user
did not see (such as account numbers). After the item is created, a
Nintex-based workflow is started and approvals are requested depending on
certain field values.
The main problem is that when Nintex sends the approval requests, I need for
the attachments from the first user to be available on the approval requests.
Since this doesn't go through the standard SharePoint approval mechanism, I
can't seem to figure out how to get the attachment to transfer from the form
to the sharepoint list item that is created so that it can be included in the
workflow (attachments are enabled on the list). The form is not submitted by
email, but rather through SharePoint.
For this reason, the other links I've seen in somewhat similar posts do not
work because I'm not using an email submission form. Or maybe I'm just
misunderstanding? I am getting the same error when publishing to SharePoint
from InfoPath as I've seen mentioned previously (The selected field cannot be
promoted because its data bype is not supported: base64binary.) but don't
think the solutions posted apply to exactly the way I need this to work.
Help!
