 Symptoms Picker auto insert value Diagnoses When you populate a picker control with data, the picker will also auto select a value and display it. By right, it should only populate the picker list. Resolution This has been logged this as a bug where the picker control will auto insert value in runtime. This will be fixed in a future release of the product. Which version, if any, this will be included in has not been determined at this time. Product Management makes these decisions based on criticality, customer demand, and other factors.The workaround would be to use the "transfer data" rule to set the picker list and populated fields to empty whenever the picker value changes.

Hi,Can someone tell me how to associated Nintext workflow to contenty type. If use the work settings action its showing all designer workflow not nintex workflows.

Hello all, I will try to explain my problem with the aid of the snags below, the actions above are working properly, the request is submitted, the approver is notified, the approval is completed, the new record is created (in another list) and the submitter is notified that their request was approved. The actions below work until It gets to the notification and multiple emails are sent for the same item. I have tried placing a "RunIf" And a "Wait for item Update" and half a dozen other actions in front of the Send Notification and nothing works. Any help with troubleshooting this would be much appreciated

Hello! My workflow creates a library from a SP custom library template.  This library template includes several document sets with custom Welcome pages.   My issue is, when I run the workflow the library is created, but it does not show the document set welcome page, or any information within the document set, UNTIL I go into the document set in SharePoint and click on "Update the Welcome Page of Document Sets inheriting from this content type". If I manually create the library from the same custom library template, the document sets and their content show up.  Am I doing something wrong when utilizing the "Create List" step in Nintex to create the library?  Thanks!

Hi    I am looking to show a list column( which is in SPOnline) value in a drop down on a form built on SP on prem 2016 .     Did anybody used the WebRequest on a Nintex form that can be used to connect to SPonline and display a list column value in dropdown ?   Thank you for the help in advance.

hi together,   I need to embed a Nintex form into a SharePoint page at the bottom with IsDlg=1. When loading the page it automatically scrolls down to the Nintex form since the form automatically sets a focus on the first input field. Is it possible to somehow deactivate/override the setting of the focus from within the form so the focus event  does not get executed? maybe with CSS or Javascript?   best regards Jan      

Hi there, SInce we updated our farm to SP2016 users reported that they can't click on the Workflow Status Hyperlink (The Columns added by Nintex itself) from the Quick Edit view (in normal view they do work fine). Nothing happens when clicking them. Other Links (from normal list columns) do work from quick edit.   Does anyone have an idea on this?   Thanks in advance Dom

My client has Nintex WF 2013. I have a process that would require the initiator to fill in some fields (people picker, drop down attributes) that will be used by the WF, and upload an Excel document (version history required) containing some financials.   Normally I would start the WF on document upload and filling the required metadata, however the UX is not as clear as when creating a list form.   Should this be a SP list form instead, with a document as attachement?   What else do I need to consider?

I have a library which receives emails. The emails are grouped and put into a folder (Email subject becomes the folder name). I have created two views for this library: Outstanding and Completed.  The emails are received into the outstanding view.   When Metadata is applied to the whole folder I need the folder and the contents to move to show only in the completed view.   I have set up a completed tick box on the document content type form and when the metadata is added this box is ticked which moves the contents but not the folder to the completed view.   Any ideas?   I have a folder content type form when I have added the completed tick box which can be ticked manually to move just the folder, however, I need to know how to do this in Nintex. -  How do you update a folder content type properties? 

I have a SharePoint list that keeps track of late and incorrect reports submitted by vendors. Every time a report is late or incorrect, a user add an item to this list. I am using separtae clumnx for late and  incorrect as a Yes/No data type. I created claculated columns to convert the Yes/No to zero and 1. I have another list that stores the actual number of reports due every month by vendor. I am trying to claculate the late and inaccurate rates based on user inout from the first list.  I am looking for a way to increment the late and incorrect count in the second list from the user input from the first list.

I have a form with a repeating panel that has a nested repeating panel inside it where users can enter license numbers. There is specific reasoning for having the nested panels, due to the nature of the requirements. I would like to be able to take the XML output from the containing repeating section, which is saved into a multiline text field (plain text) and pull out various XML tags, using the XML Query Action. The problem is that most of the XML that is exported from the form and placed into a multiline text field is "corrupt". For some reason all of the opening and closing tags "ie <" , quotation marks, and question marks are using the equivalent ascii character, like "quot;". One work around is to pull the XML into a variable and run a replace formula or use the Regular Expression action, however I thought I would see if anyone else has run into this issue and if they know of a workaround to get "clean" XML exported from their forms.  Here is an example of the exported XML:&lt

I've seen many posts dancing around this issue but none that directly address it--so I'm submitting a post of my own.    I have a list workflow that starts upon item creation.  In the Worfklow Tasks list there is a column named "Title".  It appears that when an item populates the Worfklow Task list, somehow the "Title" column is populated with data from the new list item (shown on the workflow's list).  Specifically, data from the workflow's list Title column and item properties contained in a few other list columns seem to be concatenated and passed into the "Title" column of the Workflow Tasks list.  Please see below: I modified the list view to only show the columns that are concatenated (the value in the Title columns is a string built in the workflow to create a unique item identifier for archiving purposes)   Here's what the Workflow Tasks list "Title" column shows for this item: The value in the workflow list's Title column plus three other columns' values are displayed along

I have a repeater row populated with some drop-downs which filter a list view. When the drop-downs are selected the appropriate rows are populated in a panel which contains the list view. I need to have an initial CSS height for the nf-repeater-row. How would I dynamically resize the repeater panel to accommodate whatever height my list view is. See attached screenshots.

if(fromShortcode.val() == toShortcode.val()){ alert('same values entered in both the field!'); NWF$(shortCode).addClass('border-red'); } else     {      NWF$(shortCode).removeClass("red-border");     }  });});this is te code I have written where if the 'if' condition gets true then the list lookup field(shortCode) is to be set to red border or it should remain black itself

So I created a Workflow to Launch the Workflow so the initiator would be the Admin. It did start with the Admin as the initiator, but workflow still failed. My colleague and I are both logging into Sharepoint with the same User Account (Test Account). When I enter an item the workflow runs fine. When he does the same it fails with these errors:Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.Failed to run User Defined Action. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.Would it have anything to do with having two WFEs? Maybe he is hitting one and I'm hitting the other? I can't think of any other reason why it would work for me and not him since we are using the same account. It seems to work fine for him if he manually starts the workflow though which is why I assumed it was actually permissions the first time.ETA - It runs two UDAs before this one fine with no issues so I don't think it is having trouble find

I have multiple tasks. At task 5, the task form has some Web Requests that are treated as drop downs. Approver 5 sets these few fields, and I have a notification that gets sent to me when complete. The information is there. When it gets to task/approver 6, anything selected in those fields are back to the default "Please select a value..." with a warning triangle below the control saying "Attention Required. Please note: This value has been updated outside this form."Can someone tell me some things I can check as to why this is happening? There's no controls in the workflow in between the notification and the next task that affect those controls.

I really need help, I'm trying to add a Cancel link/button to my form to end all workflows except the current one after the form has been submitted as seen in attachment Aand control setting as shown in attachment BI added js to custom Javascript but my worflow is not starting. Please help.  

Hello everyone,   I'm modidfying a worklfow on our Project server environment but when I tried to publish it, I get the wonderfull error message: SoapServer Server was unable to process request ----> Failed to publish Workflow: Error in the application   I know I have this error message due to the size of my workflow, so an idea would be to split my demand management workflow in subworklow, but the trouble is as my Workflow is linked to my Project, I'm not sure that I can split in subworkflow as I have many data which are comming directly from my workflow type, for example, my project ID, Owner name and so on...   So how could I resolve this issue?
