I'm pretty new to Nintex and finds it a bit confusing, how help text is working in Nintex forms. As I understand there can be some problems displaying help text on certain fields or? (taxonomy fields fx.) I'm not so much interested in what can be made with custom solutions, but more what can be done "out-of-the-box".Does anyone have experience with its and can supply links to articles or examples..? 

We recently ran the following command and it messed up our Task URLsNWAdmin.exe -o AddZoneSetting -type Global  -zone Default Initially our task URLs were of this format > http://intranet.domain.com/Lists/AccessRequestTasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=21123 but after running this command they changed to > http://vwp-mshare01/WorkflowTasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=65197. This is causing issues because our users do not have access to http://vwp-mshare01 .Below is our configurationsAlternate Access Mappings Web ApplicationPS: Ignore the silly name (not in use)Site CollectionsInitially all task link URLs used the host-named site collection as the root (http://intranet.domain.com) but now they they use the root site collection URL (http://vwp-mshare01) which users do not have access to. Is there a way to revert this change?

We are using Nintex Forms & Workflow for SharePoint 2013.I need to call a workflow from my form, keep the form open, and return data (from SQL query) to the form to populate a multi-select list box. I need it to work in both New & Edit modes.I tried a Save & Submit (no validation) button which calls the workflow but closes the form so that's no good.I guess the workflow will need to be called from a button with JavaScript but will this still be able to access data from the form as the item has not been created in New mode?Any help/examples will be very welcome.Thanks, Phil

I'm working with a customer who has had Nintex Workflow 2010 for a while and it has worked well. I've just come on to help and have been unable to access the detailed view of the Workflow History:I get a correlation error:When I look at the ULS logs for that ID I get:Any ideas to fix this? The workflows and forms seem to be working fine, and I can view the workflow history its just the details section.Cheers,Suzanne

I am building a Parallel Workflow in SharePoint 2013. I want to ask three different groups to approve or disapprove, in any order. I am using Flexi Task at the moment, but I want to capture the name of each respondent and their comments. I tried parsing the Comments, but string manipulation in Nintex workflows is rather limited. A Flexi Task doesn't seem to offer an event to intercede after EACH response, only after the proper response has been received. Can I insert an event after each response? Should I put each group in their own Flexi Task? What is the best practice to capture each person who replied to a Flexi Task and their specific comments?

Hi all,we have a requirement to force a calculated form field to refresh. It has a variable of ErrorCount. It is not connected to any SharePoint list column. We need to refresh the field this way as the calculated form field uses the lookup run-time function to return how many items are in a particular list, and give the total amount of items, using below formula:count(lookup("ErrorList","Reference",Reference,"ID",true))Whilst the form is open the list - that the calculated field returns the count from - gets updated - another item is added to it. When this happens we post a function called callback to the form.Inside this function we need to update the calculated form field to show the new list total/ item count.The function callback is successfully called, as we have confirmed with an alert, but the calculated form field is not  being refreshed, updated.Inside our callback function we have tried:function callback() {alert('function called OK');NWF$('#' + ErrorCount).trigger('blur');N

My requirement is to be able to take a screenshot from maybe within a form and and then attach it to the form. This is as opposed to the current method of using a tool to take a screenshot, saving that screenshot as a file and then browsing to that file to attach it to the form.If anyone can help, that'll be great.

Hi All Utilizing the NTX custom action for PowerShell Script (reference - https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/NTX-PowerShell-Action-Stable-Release/ba-p/83139) we are trying to execute a script from Nintex Workflow in SharePoint 2016 but we are encountering below issue. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Connecting to remote server <servername> failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request.

I have created a 4-level Cascading Drop-Down list that prints everything else on the form but the names in the DD list.  Any suggestions?

Hi folks,   I am working for one year now with Nintex 2016 (on premise) and stopped in a problem with a flexi task. I have a main workflow that collects data (also for people) and starts a subworkflow. In that subworkflow I have a flexi-task. The assigned person in the flexi-task is handed over from main-wf into a startvariable. When I run the main-wf, the task would be created, the right person is assigned but it is read-only (for everyone including admins). So I suggested, it could be a false configuration and that my subworkflow did not manage to create the task the right way (or still has an open handle on that task).  (screenshot of a part of that task below) BUT when I start the sub-wf manually, fill the start-variable manually via the people-picker everything works right. Could you please help me, I am stuck for 2 days now and have no clue. THANKS! Michael  

Currently getting errors when running a list approval workflow in a library that requires checkin/out.  The workflow will fail with the following error: "The workflow could not check out the list item. Make sure the item is not already checked out."  "The workflow operation failed because the action requires the document to be checked in."Because the branches at a number of places, it is difficult to pin point which action is cause the error.The question is:  Which workflow actions require the item to be checked in?  I have not been successful searching the documentation or this site for the answer.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have created a form (monthly check) and would like the current date to display as 'MMM'. How do I do this? I have tried multiple options.  My date control is set to 'date only' and is set to default to 'Current Date'.  With my last attempt I made the date control hidden but enabled, then created a calculated data control using fn-formatdate(DateControlName, "MMM").    Its such a simple thing but I cannot get it to work. Thanks :-)

I am building a form, and I have a multiselection checkbox choice control called Segments.  It has about 30 options in it.  Further down the form, I have a dropdown choice control.  I want the dropdown options to populate based on the checked boxes from Segments.  For example, if the user checks SegmentOption1, SegmentOption5, and SegmentOption23, I want the those three selections to be the only options in the dropdown further down the page.  How do I make that happen?

Hello - I have multiple repeating sections on my fom, 4 to be exact, so I have created 4 different workflows to extract the content from the repeating section on to a child list (there might be an easier way but im new to Nintex and this is the only way I know). The workflows work just fine; however, my conditional start when items are created is not working (conditional start upon item modification DOES work). Currently my condition is: "Title of Repeating Section" (previous value) NOT equals to "Title of Repeating Section".Can you provide some insight as to how I can trigger these workflows to start only when I have data inside the corresponding repeating sections?Thanks!Licet
