In my case, this is not a normal settings error because I am trying to open an item created through a Nintext Workfloe Create item action.To give you a figure, I want to automatically create an item everytime a particuar item on a list is added so that I can then email the user approver to just proceed with their approval task without the hassle of doing something in the form, because that's what we want, right? That's why we are into office automation so that the work will become automated or automatic.

How to Publish InfoPath Form as a Content type in a SharePoint Site
Fortunately, yes, that is allowed in Nintex Workflow, you can actually create an item in a SharePoint Library or SharePoint list. It works! No problem at all.
The problem comes out when you tries to open that item, that's when the time you are prompted with the error saying:This form cannot be opened in a Web browser. To open this form, use MicroSoft InfoPath.
So I even tried tweaking the setting of the Library where the form has been pubished, but still the error is there and it doesn't just work.
Some said it's a kind of client side issue and they have fixed this by changing the library settings to open in the browser like what I've tried below, but it doesn't work either.
The default is the radio button choice with "Use the server default (Open in the browser) |
I've Googled this issue and found out that the form created created through workflow is not a browser enabled form, so you can't open it in browser, but what if you need that item to be opened in browser?
I think I got this clear, that you can't make use of the items created though wokflow if you need that item to be opened in browser because that doesn't work now, I hope this issue's gonna be fixed because I believe it's a useful feature for automation.
As of now, developers will just deal with this until update comes or someone's gonna have a brilliant idea to get way with it.
As for me, I'm going to let user create the item and get away with the automation. Yeah, they'll also have to deal with it.
