Hi all, I am trying to use the "get schedule proposal" action (I don't know if the naming is correct, in German it is "Terminvorschlag erhalten", but I am not able to get it running. I receive the error notification "Unable to connect to the remote server". What is the problem? Cheersmai-kel

Sometimes, worksflows fail with "an error has occurred". No additional error message is provided. The last action in the erroring block is just that it was "incomplete." In situations such as this, how do you find more information about what the actual error was? Why are some error messages very broad, like this, and others (e.g. SQL errors) much more specific? Do certain actions report errors in this way? Also - in the workflow status graph for where the workflow failed - green blocks are complete, etc - what is yellow? As far as I can tell green is done, yellow is in progress/incomplete, and red is error. But why is something marked as incomplete when it errored? Why are these blocks not red?

Hi everyone!I'm having an issue with a Responsive form (on prem sharepoint) where the CurrentRowNumber() function is returning a -1 when on a mobile device (on the website it works great)Any ideas would be very much appriciated.

Hello,   I have created a SharePoint (365) Custom List. Every list item represents a book and its metadata (the columns).   Now I would like to create a Nintex Workflow, which allows users to borrow a book.   Something like that:    After a user pushes the button, a Nintex Workflow should be started, which writes the name of the user who triggered the Workflow into the Lent-To-Column and into the Lent-To Column till when it's lent (today's date + 30 days). Everything of course only for the Item, from which the workflow was started. Is there any way to start a Nintex 365 Workflow from the column of a SP list item (For example the yellow button in my screenshot, but can be also a string or something else) and which also only affects changes on this item?Or are there any best practices you would like to share with me to realize my demand?Thanks to everyone helping me :)

So I’m trying to update my Nintex 2016 Solution from 4.2 to 4.3.1.1 and it just sat on creating Core Components upgrade job for 3600 seconds (1 hour) before moving to the next WSP which also failed. Anti-virus disabled, UAC turned off, I used an account that was a Farm Admin and local admin of all servers, database owner and all the other prerequisites... Any thoughts as to why this happened? Could I manually remove and add the new version of the WSPs? Thanks for your help

In my workflow (which is pretty long), I have a check to see if the item status is one where no more processing is needed and if so, end the workflow. This is done by having an End workflow action inside of a Run if action. This "works" as the workflow ends but when I look at the workflow history it there seems to be a problem as seen in the snippet below: Looking in the detailed view, in the Action History section it says that the Run if action started but is incomplete and End workflow action completed. Also, in the Workflow messages section I see the following: Event: Workflow Completed, Message: For more information, please read this article: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=323543&clcid=0x409.   What could be the issue with this? Thanks in advance for any help!  

I have searched around for a solution to this but unfortunately it seems it does not exist yet. I have a classic form (2016) which has multiple choice fields in the form of checkboxes. Recently I was notified of a user who could see everything EXCEPT the check boxes themselves. I thought it could just be a browser issue but the user tried multiple updated browsers. I also shared the SharePoint site with the user in case it was a permissions issue, which still did not fix the problem. Any insight would be much appreciated. 

Hello everybody,   I have the following fundamentals: A SharePoint calendar in which I can enter lecture slots. In a second SharePoint list I have the fields Speaker, Topic and Appointment.   My first steps: I have linked the SharePoint calendar to the SharePoint list. Now I can use a lookup field in a drop down to display the appointments I have previously created in the calendar.   What I am missing / my question to the community: How can I build a filter that only allows me to see the available dates of the SharePoint calendar?

  Good afternoon,   I was wondering if it was suggested to not edit the workflows (i.e. adding distros, updating Email Notification templates) while there are users working in it? We have a team of about 50 people and often we get complaints from the floor that are deemed as "server issues" but I was wondering if they could get a 'Workflow errored' message or other hinderance due to me editing the workflow throughout the day?   Thanks,   Kaitlin

I have few approver task in my task list. Now, if there is any error, Admin. will ends /terminate the workflow manually. When done, then all task for that item gets deleted from Workflow Task list. Is there any way to restrict this delete? I want all task, so I can resume from this task.

I am trying to get the Library which is located in different site from my list workflow. i am trying to do Query List to fetch using alternative site option but I am getting List not Found.

Hello all,   I am trying to query all files from a document library based on a status filter and once all the files are retrieved, I want to send them as an attachment.  If it is possible at all, can anyone send me the solution with screenshots?   Thanks in advance. Debarpita

Hi all,   I setup a Call Web Service activity in my workflow design and within this activity, I am calling the AddAttachment web method. The AddAttachment is pulling a file from my local PC to upload to my SharePoint site.   I supplied the required criteria (just note from screenshot, I did not include the actual domain/username or paths for security reasons.   List Name - Name of my list List Item ID - Item ID of an item within the above list File Name - Path of and to the actual file I want to add to my item. Attachment - I specified FileData The Call Web Service and AddAttachment web method do work... As you can see from the next screenshot the FileName.jpg appears at the bottom of my List Item. I click the "SampleInvoice1.jpg" hyperlink and it results in the following: I tried recording everying using Log in History but no warnings/errors. Any ideas?Thanks,   Steve

I'm having difficult with the display of a Hyperlink control on a form during Display Mode. Specifically, it doesn't appear to resize at runtime despite the respective control's attribute set to 'yes'?   The Hyperlink control is curious control in that during New/Edit modes it presents two fields; the web address and the text to display:     And during Display mode, it only displays one field; the rendered hyperlink:     However, all of the whitespace used for the two fields during the new/edit mode remains during the display mode.  One workaround that comes to mind is create a rule to only display the Hyperlink field during the New/Edit mode, and during Display mode to instead show a Rich Text control with formula:   <a href="{ItemProperty:HyperlinkField}">{ItemProperty:HyperlinkField}</a>   However, the limitation is that this omits the "text to display" attribute in the rendered link. Are there any other suggested workarounds for this?

I've created a cloud workflow which has been published. I've now noticed that there is a separate draft version that seems to be connected by an arrow. (see screenshot attached)   I want to delete the draft, however I'm worried that it is somehow connected to the published version and I don't want the published version to be affected/deleted.    Can anyone shed any light on what this draft version is?

I am auto-populating fields in a Nintex Form using data from a SharePoint 2016 list. I can populate all the fields correctly except Rich text, and Enhanced rich text fields.I am using the following code:var varAPP_MEMO = NWF$('#' + APP_MEMO_1_JAVA).val();var varAPP_MEMO2 = NWF$('#' + APP_MEMO_1A_JAVA).val();var varCOMBINE = varAPP_MEMO1 + " " + varAPP_MEMO2NWF$('#' + WATER_APP_MEMO_COMBINE_JAVA).val(varCOMBINE);I am able to fill the control when "WATER_APP_MEMO_COMBINE_JAVA" is a plain text Multi-Line control with both values on a separate line. If the control is a Rich text Multi-Line, it inputs the value all together without the hard return (/n).If the control is a Enhanced Rich text Multi-Line, it doesn't input the values at all. 

I'm hoping someone can point me in a good direction here.  I have a form that is essentially a rollup of another list (which happens to be a nintex form library).  The user selects a name from a list and all the forms for that name appear in a list lookup multi selection control.  The user will select the items that are relevant and click on save.  I have a list view control that appears when viewing the form in the display view.  It shows the the items selected and will allow the user to print this out.  This part of the form works great.  However, I and the requestor of the form see a problem that will occur over time.  Some names on this list could generate several forms in a time period.  They've asked if you could insert a date filter to limit which forms appear.  My list lookup is already set to filter by the name chosen.  I'm actually pulling that from a sql request control that pulls all the potential names (not necessarily the names of the poeple who just happen to have forms)

I am trying to attach the signed document did through the Adobe Sign back to the Salesforce Object. I dont have any default store setup yet. I have the configurations on the Get Adobe Sign likeNow I try to attach the file to the Quote record likeI get error saying "Output files cannot be stored because no default location has been specified in Settings.

I need to delete all list items in a child site from the parent site. The list is very small less than 20 items. Need your suggestion on the best way to do it. 1.  Delete this list and re-create a new one? 2.  Use nintex 'delete multiple items' action. This action requires the list id i need to get dynamically 3. Call the sharepoint web service lists.asmx. I didn't find a method to delete all items. Thanks    

Hello all!I was curious if there is a way to limit the date/time control to only allow dates to be selected for past 7 days and current day, no further forward or back?Thanks! 

Hi GangWe have a 2013 SharePoint list that has a 2013 Nintex workflow attached to it.  One of the actions in the workflow is to send a notification email.  The subject of the email contains a multi-line text field that is defined as plain text.  The problem is when the email is created/sent it contains HTML code in the subject (from that multi-line field).  Is this a bug??  Other than stripping out the HTML code programmatically this is the only way we can stop it.  Does anyone have any other solution?

How can I create a random string from a given set of characters to use as a password?

I have two issues with the My Workflow tasks. First, I have a lot of tasks that are completely blank except for the Workflow name. I don't know how to fix those.     Second, I do not have a default sorting option on my webpart settings.
