Hi, I have a list with 50 fields (including 20 lookup). We made a Nintex form for it, this Form works like a charm on our development environnement and takes 60 to 80 seconds to load on our customer environment. I tried to remove the Nintex Form and with the SP default form it takes 1-2 secs to load ... I'm wondering how it could be so different.We also have other forms for smaller list (10-15 fields, 8 lookups) and we don't have any problem with them (1-2 seconds to load). We have this log on ULS (just summary not the entire stack trace): Performance degradation: unfetched field [FIELDNAME] caused extra roundtrip. ---A large block of literal text was sent to sql (length 53842). This can result in blocking in sql and excessive memory use on the front end. Verify that no binary parameters are being passed as literals, and consider breaking up batches into smaller components. If this request is for a SharePoint list or list item, you may be able to resolve this by reducing the number of

I have an "External Data Column" control on a Nintex form. I would like to get the value of this control in a Form Variable so that I can use it to do a lookup based on what is selected. I have done this successfully with other control types. I can't work out how to do it. Has anyone had success with this before? Thanks in advance, Darren  

Hi everyone I have a workflow which has a pause (Wait for attachment), the issue i have is sometimes when the users upload the attcahment it will gor to next step with no issue however sometimes it just stay there forever. Any idea?      

I have some users who I have trained to build forms and workflows using Nintex on-premises.  I would like to be able to allow the users to design and build the forms and lists, but not publish the form.  Has anyone done anything like this in their environment?  Is it even possible to allow design of a form but not publish?Thank you in advance for any feedback or comments.Charles Ralston

Hi guys, I've been reading quite a long time about terminating list items which don't exist. I've found a solution which says to remove some query strings Terminate WF when items do not exist. It helped me a lot, but I haven't found a solution on how to terminate workflows which are running in the "non-existing" list inside "non-existing" items.All I have is 43 error workflows which are still running, but I cannot delete them, because SharePoint alerts me with an error depicting "error message, that list does not exist". I tried to call a web service on my site and set some variables at the beginning before executing WF.This is URL of the non-existing list with the non-existing item. So, I had an idea to take ListID to var_listID, ItemID to var_itemID and InstanceID to var_InstanceID.NintexWorkflow/preview.aspx?ListId=fa7c5f8e-729b-4532-b6f2-c2d464845d83&ItemId=4&WorkflowId=5fcf9aef-3db1-4c4a-812f-f0f39dd80a6d&mode=Runtime&InstanceId=321674ca-24c5-4741-b69e-98281aab0d22

I've been designing a workflow that can take a parameter on load. Just recently, I've encountered an issue where the form variable gets set, but is never passed to the workflow. The workflow is simple, it takes the passed in workflow name, logs it, and starts a different workflow. After running the workflow with the passed in variable, the logs show that the variable is still blank and the wrong workflow gets started. To add to the confusion, the issue only presents when manually starting a workflow. Setting up a "Start Workflow" action and passing in the parameters works fine. Anyone encoutered such an issue before?  

Howdy!I'm trying to design a workflow that would allow an approver to Approve, Decline, and request more information.I'm currently using a State machine containing a Flexi task within a Flexi task to accomplish thisState Machine:Task 1: Approve            Decline            Request more information (requires comment and then begins Task 2)Task 2: Confirm decision             Challenge decision (requires comment and then changes the state to go back to the beginning of Task 1).Is there a way to have the comment from Challenge decision in Task 2 show up in the notification in Task 1?I'm able to get comment information from the Approver to show up for the requestor informing them that more information is needed and showing the approver's commentsIs there a good way to have the requestor reply back and have that information 

Hi,I wonder is there a way to get data with SQL request and fill specific newform.aspx columns with data from request?For example, a new list item is opened, then user inputs for example Name and clicks a button or similar to execute SQL request which populates from columns, for example Department and Phone. And then user fills in other columns and saves the new list item.I guess this could be done with SharePoint External List, but this would need to synchonize the External List with the connected database every night automatically.Maybe there is some other ways to make this work?All the best,Kari

We want to create a workflow changing the column "project ID" in a document library; based on the foldername. So it will enable us to have the correct information in the "project ID" field without editing all documents manually. Current situtation: We upload documents to a library trought the file explorer (through sharepoint Sync) These documents are uploaded in a folder with a name, the same as the "project ID"e.g. https://collaboration.DOMAIN.com/sites/NAME_SITE/AssociatedDocuments/352/Document.docx   So in the example the Project ID should be changed to 352.  Thank you very much for your help and support!  

When a Request Approval action is created and in the Task Notification by default the "Click here to add your comments." uses the Common:ApprovalUrl link.  When the users click on the link in the approval request email they are directed to the ApproveReject.aspx form.   When I manually create that link in the Request Approval, Action Notification using the Common:ApprovalUrl link such as "Click here to approve or reject.", the link in the email goes to Workflow Tasks/EditForm.aspx.   How do I manually create a link in the Request Approval, Action Notification that will direct the user to the ApproveReject.aspx form for approval (or rejection)?   Thanks Andy

Dear community,    I am quite new to work with Nintex and so is my company. I could not get any support from my company so I try my luck here.    We have multiple folders where different groups have a certain access to. To be sure that every folder contains the same information we are working with workflows to copy, update and delete the documents. We have to run the action as workflow owner, because not everyone has sufficient rights to delete it from every folder.    The copy and update process works fine so far, but I am facing some issues with the delete process.   The process looks as followed:   On the first look it looks fine, and sends a confirmation mail as intended. Here a look of the delete operation: It is the same for all branches. The only branch it works is for the first one. All other operations are not working. To verify it a added an notification after each delete operation. I get a notification from every branch which tells me that it has run through. I also tried

Hi everyone, I have an issue that I really do not understand : In my form, I have a control on which I need to bind an event handler on the change property : NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { console.log(NWF$(".ShareOverviewPanel .rpt_185_ISINcode")); NWF$(".ShareOverviewPanel .rpt_185_ISINcode").on("change", function () { RptLoadValues(); }); }); My control exists in the first log, but the subscription on the 'change' is never active : RptLoadValues() is never called.When I copy-paste the code inside the browser console, the event handler is bond, and I have no issue and everything works fine. Code pasted in the browser console: NWF$(".ShareOverviewPanel .rpt_185_ISINcode").on("change", function () { RptLoadValues(); }); I spent an enormous amount of time trying to figure out what's happening. The form is quite big, I was thinking about a race issue (loading of asynchronous controls), but even with a 15 seconds, there's not avail. Am I miss

Nintex Forms 2016 for SharePoint   I have a form where the user selects a Location from a dropdown list, and then they are presented with the results of several lookup() functions that describe the Location. In particular, the form displays PreviousServiceDate and NextServiceDate for the selected Location.  Upon opening the form he lookup() boxes are blank until a Location is selected. When making the 1st Location selection, both PreviousServiceDate and NextServiceDate are incorrect. Upon selecting a 2nd Location the date calculations work correctly, and for all subsequent selections while on the form. It is like the runtime functions do not activate until the 2nd selection is made.    Here's how my functions work:   Location is selected: Choice dropdown ServiceSchedule is found: lookup("LocationInfoList","LocalName",Location,"ServiceSchedule") MondayDefined: Calculated Value: date(22,04,2019,00,01) DiffDays: Single Line Text Box: dateDiffDays(MondayDefined,Today) For PreviousServiceDa

My workflow tasks contain links to sensitive documents, so there is a requirement to restrict access to this information - i.e. remove the possibility that someone could navigate to the task list, open a task and then open any of the linked documents. I don't know who the tasks are going to be assigned to up front (assignees are chosen in the submission form and task forms) so I can't restrict task list access to a specific group.   My first thought was to run a workflow on new items in the task list to set item level permissions, but it turns out I can't initiate a workflow on the task list when a new item is created by another (i.e. my primary) workflow. My second thought was to hide fields in the task based on the current user (e.g. hide field if Var Approver does not contain Current User), but I've run a bunch of tests without success and I'm guessing the Contains formula only works with a text value (vs the Current User reference).   Is there another way I can restrict access to t

We are running SharePoint 2013 with Nintex Forms: 2.11.0.1I have an issue where custom validation with the "Custom Validation Function" on a  Single line of Text control fires when I do not want it to. Oftentimes, it also fires more than once.Fig. 1 Screenshot of control settingWhen the function runs-  it usually runs twice-  it always runs the first time after I blur out of the input field with the custom validation function- it sometimes runs after clicking SubmitI've tried running the validation in Form Edit Mode as well as from a published version of the form, but the same outcomes occur regardless.I've also tried adding () after validateCompanyNameUniqueness (e.g. validateCompanyNameUniqueness() ) which prevents the function from being called more than once, but then the function does not receive the Nintex arguments object with .isValid key. Side question: How do I explicitly pass in the implicit arguments into my validation function from this control setting?If you want to see t

Hello All,   I have a Calendar list (A). I have used Save list as template to create a second Calendar list - Archive (B), Created a site workflow to move the items from List A to archive list B based on some date condition (I am triggering the workflow manually for testing the workflow) This is the error that i am getting - "The workflow could not copy the item.  Make sure the source and destination lists have the same columns and column settings." I am using the same workflow on 5 other lists and libraries - Everything is working perfectly with those   This is a SharePoint 2013 environment. I have seen couple of other posts similar in this community - None of them worked for me   Any inputs are really appreciated.!   Thanks.!!              

I have created a couple of forms and added the XML version of the formt o the Nintex App Studio application, but it is showing that the deployment of the Windows application failed. It also shows that it's not supported. What have I missed in creating the App Studio application?     

Trying to find a way to grab the first 10 characters of a multiline field in a list and use it to populate a single line field in a list.

Hello, I have this rule with a simple condition : But it is not working. When I edit an item which I am the creator, this field is not hidden. I try with equals but there are no difference.

Just thought I would post this in case someone runs into this same issue. It's pretty specific.   We use a 3rd party software for translations called Pointfire by a company called Icefire. I have run into issues when my workflows are larger (I have 2MB and 4MB workflows that have this issue). When the Pointfire tool is enabled, it causes these workflows to just display blank on the workflow designer when I try to edit them. I have to disable pointfire in order to do any edits.   On smaller workflows, certain actions will not be available to modify in edit mode, like condition actions. They will let you click Edit but not display any of the options, just a blank box.   The major issue, is when we try to migrate the workflow to another environment. We take a backup of the content database to migrate the site collection, then we import the workflows we have previously exported from the source site. If the site collection backup was made with Pointfire enabled, you will never be able to im

Hi Community, I'm use to building InfoPath forms where you had action rules and I have came across this problem of setting values of other fields based on another.  Currently I have drop downs for users that if they choose to select from it it will automatically set the value of other fields on the form. We are moving all our forms over to Nintex and I cant figure out how to do this with out having to write custom JavaScript on the form to do so.  Are there other options in being able to do this? Thanks,Kevin
