Add form option to ensure all variables are evaluated before submission

If an external data source is used in a form, it's possible to submit a form before the external data source has been evaluated. This can cause other form variables that rely on the data source to have blank or inaccurate values on submission. If the external data source is experiencing heavy loads that cause a delay in Nintex receiving a response, this problem is likely to occur.


I've been told this is functioning as intended, but this seems like a shortcoming of the product. It would be nice if there was some toggle on the form that would prevent a form from being submitted before all variables (or at least external data sources) have finished evaluating.

      Thank you very much for posting your feedback for our review. Due to very low votes, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog. We are also focused on other highly requested features such as Form Participant permissions, Repeating sections re-usability, etc. Please keep the feedback coming as it is critical for our longer-term planning.
