This will open the Create column dialog box which usually comes while creating a column in a list using the browser. Fill the column details like Name, Type etc. Here I have just added a column with Multiple lines of text type. Once you click on OK, the column will get created.






The column will be available in the List Columns section which is there in the left side in Nintex forms designer. If you will expand to List Columns tab you will be able to see our newly created column. In my case I have created “AboutMe” column which looks like below:

If you want to add the column to the list form, then drag the column from the Forms Control and put it in the form.

Now publish the form from the Publish button from the ribbon. Once it is published successfully, you will be able to see the column when you will try to add an item to the list.
