In my workflow I collect data using a multiline textbox in the step 1. In the step 2, the user may update that information in the multiline textbox. The multiline textbox is bound to a site column in the workflow task content type, which is tied to a workflow variable.
I can easily capture the input from the multiline textbox and save the data to an ancillary list using the workflow variable.
However in step 2, I am unable to set the multiline textbox value via javascript if I have the multiline textbox bound to the task content type site column. The id generated for the control is not in the form (there are similar ids but no exact match). If I update the multiline textbox to not bind to any task column (not connected), the control value can be set with javascript.
I am either missing something obvious or Nintex Forms is missing some basic functionality. Can I set a multiline textbox value via javascript even if it is bound to a task content type site column? Another datetime field works just fine....
Please help! This is a similar use case to another thread I have related to populating People Pickers via javascript (http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/32874.aspx).
