Upgrading to K2 5.7 (now Automation) from v5.4 - any speed bumps?

Hi all,Just wanted to post on here for any feedback from anyone who has upgraded to v5.7 automation from an earlier version of K2 five.We are currently on v5.4 and I was planning to upgrade to v5.6, but now with the release of 5.7, I was hoping to get any feedback on all pitfalls and any dropped features which scupper my upgrade.I’ve never known a K2 upgrade go smoothly, so I just want to get my expectations in check and gather any info from those of you who have gone through the upgrade. To help, here’s a few questions:Is it too early to upgrade to 5.7, should I go to 5.6 from 5.4 instead? Will K2 Studio continue to work smoothly (we have a lot of legacy workflows which work great in v5.4, I don’t want them to break). From watching the Feb 23 K2 product update, I believe that K2 Studio is now bundled into the 5.7 installation, rather than it being separate Will Hybrid Email mode still be supported? i.e. SMTP mail via K2 form Rules - Send Email and Exchange Mail via Workflows Send Emai

Workflow action to query the list for items created by the current user and delete old items

I’m trying to create a query list action on a workflow that pulls back the IDs of all the items created by the initiator in order to delete the old items if they exist.I’ve added the query list action, but when trying to pull all the item numbers into a collection variable, it doesn’t pull any numbers through at all. The filter is searching the ‘user’ column on the list, with the ‘user’ being a variable that’s set previously as the initiator.I’m using Nintex for SharePoint on-premis, after i’ve got the list of IDs that are created, I need to be able to delete the oldest one(s). so there’s only 1 item for each user.Is anyone able to assist me, so that I can get this workflow working for the client.

Nintex Cloud Xtensions with SPO fail to Add a connection

Good morning,I’m a newcomer in NWC and Azure. Recently I found an example in Nintex Xtension gallery: https://gallery.nintex.com/t/sharepoint-online-additional-web-actionsI followed the steps in article to create this Xtension and asked my Azure admin to grant permission of SharePoint Online API Permission in Azure. However, the error said when I clicked add a connection in NWC that “The authorization server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.”I’ve managed to change my security objects or even the authentication of redirect URI. In Configure platforms if I chose from Web to SPA(single-page application), the error said “the Proof Key for Code Exchange is required for cross-origin authorization code redemption.”Did anyone have any idea? Thank you!

List Lookup - filtering - value doesn't appear after saving of form.

Hi, I have a SharePoint column ‘col1’ Connected to a control ‘List lookup’ in the New Responsive Designer in Nintex. When i submit the form, and then go back into the same instance of a form - the value I selected for ‘col1’ doesn’t appear. It is in fact saved within the SharePoint list, but doesn’t appear in the form. If I change the List lookup control to a simple ‘Text -Short’, it will work. So, it doesn’t seem like it is a problem with the column it self. Are there something within the control ‘List lookup’ that prevents the form to be able to pick up the value of the connected column??

Compare two lists

I have two lists,A-list :- there we set up cost acceptance requests which are used to describe invoices, they are numbered list B- list of invoices, where we use the approval number from list A for the description (we enter this number in one of the fields)I have been asked if it is possible to compare the two lists, so that in the list, next to the number of the approval that has already been used in list B, there would be some kind of marking, for example "Used".Is it possible to create something like this? Because frankly I have no idea Best regards

Field value disappears when in edit mode

Hi,I am using a Nintex form for O365 and have a rule that “when a certain field is filled” a few other fields are populated with values with the use of web requests. The fields populate as they should and display in “display mode” but when I go into “edit mode” my values disappear! The value does get captured and I see it in the column, it just doesn’t display when I open in edit mode…I have been going at this for hours, days and weeks and cannot get this to work. Please help?Here is my form in “Display mode (once submitted): Here are my rules ( the label in each field is the web request): When I turn off this rule everything displays as it should but when I turn it back on, the values in those fields disappear. I’ve tried so many ways to try and get the values to appear and had it at one point but knew it wasn’t correct because it flickered quite a bit when the value appeared.

Return Populated Submission Form Choice Checkbox Options in Task Form?

I have a SharePoint list with many Choice - Checkbox columns, and these list column fields are included in the SharePoint submission form.I would like to be able to return the choices made on the submission form in the task forms - also as checkboxes - and I was hoping the new Multi-choice control DSV support feature would allow me to do this. However, I’ve followed the instructions in this video and the choice fields return blank. Is it possible to return populated submission form choice fields in task forms as checkboxes using this new feature, or does it only work for the format shown in the video (creating Choice - Multiple checkbox options from list items) - or is there another way to do this?

Task Form Not Opening For Some UsersKnowledge Base

TopicWhen a user opens a Nintex Task Form, the page in the browser states "This [site-GUID].sharepoint.com page can't be found" Instructions This is a known issue.SharePoint is not correctly XML encoding the FormUrl values in each content type definition when the list's content types are being updated (for example: new content types being added, re-ordered). Additional InformationThis is occurring on the SharePoint platform, Nintex has worked with MS on this but is unable to resolve this issue.

Migrating to NAC - SharePoint choice column?

I am migrating from Nintex for O365 to NAC. I have a process with a ton of choice columns that users must select or update in task forms. I was hoping to use lookup columns on SharePoint and data source lookups in NAC. Here are my issues:Lookup column from the start event shows item ID not a label. Is there a way to fix it? When using a NAC multichoice linked to a data source variable I don't see an option to bring a default selection from SP lookup - is that the case? Is there a way to update a SP lookup field using selections from the NAC multichoice linked to a data source variable? OR should I just stick to choice fields and maintain them in 2 locations: SP and NAC. Will that work for showing exiting selections from SP and updating back to SP? Haven't tested it yet.

Signature and "Generate document" and Word Template

I have two Signature Form Controls in a New Responsive Designer form. My NAC Workflow (attached to the relevant SharePoint-Online List) is using “Generate document” action to create a pdf from a Word-Template, showing each signature in a table cell.Everything is working fine but the images (signatures) are rendered outside the borders of the cells.How can I avoid such behaviour?
