Is it possible to use Custom Labels or Custom Metadata fields in a Salesforce DocGen package?   The use case is that the client has several dozen Questions and Descriptions which are currently hard-coded into the document and elsewhere in Salesforce, but which change from time to time.  Using Custom Labels or CMT would allow for easier updates when the wording changes.

I have a Nintex forms for Office 365 based on a SharePoint Online Liste. In behind there is an approval Workflow with Nintex Automation Cloud.I want to improve the usability..so if a user opens the Nintex Forms there should be a message if a workflow is running and in best case the user should see if he has a workflow task assigned . At first I thougt to do this with a connection in NAC to Nintex Workflow and the “Get Tasks” operation. But unfortunately i cannot query this connection in a Nintex List Form because data lookups are not available there.I also tried it with an Iframe PlugIn in Nintex Forms and embedding the my Tasks dashboard from NAC or something simliar…but I cannot embedd the NAC environment as an Iframe...it is refusedI can do it manually with separate sharepoint lists and logging the workflow instances and task in this list but this would be a lot of additional effort and also not really fail-save... Are there any ideas or apporaches to solve this?

TopicWhen using the Open Data action in Nintex RPA with a file stored in a OneDrive-mapped or a cloud drive location, the file may remain locked after closing. This can prevent subsequent actions from opening or editing the file, causing failures in your botflow.Cloud Storage/OneDrive continuously syncs files in the background. This constant synchronization can lead to file-locking issues when a botflow tries to access or modify files directly in a its mapped folder. Company policies or sync behaviors may also interfere with file access.Instructions Recommended Approach: Move the File Temporarily:Use a Move File action to move the file out of OneDrive (e.g., to a local folder or network share).Perform your required updates using the Open Data action.Move the file back to OneDrive once processing is complete.Alternative:Avoid using files directly in OneDrive for bot operations. This helps prevent file locks and sync conflicts.Please note:This behavior is specific to files stored in OneD

Hi I hope you are well. I am building a Nintex form using Nintex workflow cloud and pulling data from salesforce. There is a data lookup to pull the data Type as a list. The end user would select a Type from the drop down and then the items associated with the selected Type would be displayed on the repeating sections. There are varied numbers of items associated with each Type selected. My questions are How do I design the repeating section to be dynamic ie number of repeating sections should automatically change to the number of items associated with the Type selected? If say Type A is selected and Type A has 5 items associated with it, I would like to have 5 repeating sections and each of the 5 items should automatically be populated on each row.  Please advise how to achieve this. Thank you

Even when you use the Set Properties method and a disable rule, the control remains editable.Scenario 2When you have the slider control enabled, users can adjust its value by clicking anywhere along the track. When you navigate to the next section and hide the slider, then return and show it again, the slider’s previous value is lost and is reset to 0.Scenario 3When you set the slider control width at design time, it resizes to the desired width (for example, 70%).
