Hi all,    In my workflow I need to capitalize the first letter of only the first word in a string. For example I want to convert "test test string" to "Test test string".   If I use the inline function fn-ToTitleCase it will capitalize every first letter of every word in the string.   How could I best go about doing this?   I am thinking about using a regular expression action. To either get all words based on the pattern s and then loop through all the words, converting only the first word ToTitleCase and merge all words into a single string. Or maybe getting the first character of the string with a regex such as ^[a-z]{1}, then putting this character ToTitleCase, getting the substring and merging these again...   There must be an easier way! Thanks!

how to change the default behaviour of the "Save" button to "Save & Submit" the form and same time it will act like "Print to PDF" function.  

Using Nintex Forms 2016 in conjunction with SharePoint Server 2016. I have created some conditional formatting and custom validation. I have 3 Yes/No Check Boxes and 1 Single Line Text Box associated with each. Using Rules, I successfully hid each SLTB until it's associated Y/N Box is checked. Within the Control Settings of the SLTBs I have: Validation, Required = Expression, if(Y/N_Box_Control _Structure). The goal is to make the associated SLTBs required if and only if the Y/N Box = Yes/True. All Y/N Boxes are No (unchecked) by default. 

Our requirement is that, we have written application for provided-hosted app. This application is hosted on different server not on SharePoint server. We wanted to create Nintex Workflow Constants by using client object model, or is there any service being exposed by Nintex which is helpful to do so? Appreciate quick help.Nintex Gallery Nintex Community 

I am after some guidance on creating a lookup to an SPO list within the start event form. I need to bind to a list in SPO and populate the list/collection variable with the list title/filenames; this needs to be in the initial start event form. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. 

Is there a way to save or email the original submission form in Cloud?  I've read that I can generate a document and export all the data into it.  But seems crazy that I can't just save the original form as a pdf.

Has anyone seen a situation where the a field in the nintex list display one value, but when you open the list item in the form, it shows another value. I have a drop down called "Status" that is disabled and updated via the work flow. I ran the work flow and when I view the item in the list is reflects the value I am antipcipating, but the once I open the item in the form (view or edit mode), the value displays as something different.      I have attached a screen shot of both views. The top is the list, and bottom is the form.  The field called Form Control number is unquie id, so this confirms I am looking at the same item.     

I'm hoping someone else has experienced this issue with the upgrade.  Upgraded from Nintex form ver. 2.11.0.10 to 2.11.5.21 and an application broke.  When clicking on  'new item' the message 'Sorry, Something went wrong.  an unexpected error has occurred..'.  Same error happens when clicking on an existing document.  Same error message when in the form and using 'Preview'.  The form is somewhat simple - has several panels on it with simple hide rules per panel - ie:  hide if new form, hide if a field is filled in.   There is a button with simple javascript to read the user name and populate a field.  I am using people picker field within some panels.  Any thoughts of what could have happen or what to look at - fix will help tremendously..  thank you

Is it possible to get a Nintex form to load on a page for people to fill out and submit without having to go to the list first?We have just transitioned over from InfoPath where we were able to get our forms to load on a page for a user to fill out and submit. I am looking to do this with my Nintex form and have been trying to use the Nintex Form List Form Web Part to add a new form to the page but I can not get it to work.

The Address Autocomplete is a custom K2 smartforms control which provides Search-as-you-Type (SayT) functionality for Addresses. It utilises the Google Places JavaScript library to look up and complete addresses. In effect, it gives you access to every address on the Planet. Once an address is selected a set of control properties are populated. These properties can then be used in rules to transfer data to other controls or save information in a back-end system via SmartObjects. The Control can search and lookup Geo (Addresses) and Establishments.

Hello, I am only a trainee and am currently learning to use Nintex.Apologies if this question is easy to answer:Well my problem is:I have a calculated value which is doing a look up to a SharePoint list. Thats fine, it works.But I want to edit the string.Currently the calculated value is showing me: "Name, FirstName" but I want to see only the First name. How i could configure it?My approach:replace(parseLookup(lookup("/|Kostenstellen/Kostenträger","ID",KST/KT ID,"Verantwortlicher")),"","")But I don't know which syntax/ command I have to use in the area replacePattern, replacement to geht every letter after the comma.Example: Look Up = Yelnats, ChrisGoal: Look Up - Replace function (show me everything after comma) = ChrisSorry for the German words, but i hope it's enough.Thanks in advance!If my approach is wrong anybody knows if I could use reg expression in Nintex Forms 2013?

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.   Situation:  We are currently trying to update a word document with data from workflow variables and list items from an item linked to a Nintex Form. (Submitted as a Nintex Form). However specific items (about 2% of all items) will fail to run at Update Document (Word Document). Restarting the workflow for those specific items will always fail    Attempt: I broke down the update document into 5 parts where the Word Document is mapped at maximum 15 variables at a time, in order to see if there was a pattern of where it was failing. I found out through this that each specific CIDR had a consistent specific set of variables that it would fail at every time it ran. For example item 211 would always fail at the variables of part 3 (if I made part 3, part 2, then part 2 would be the area it would fail in) while item 222 would fail at the variables associated to part 2. It seemed like one of the variables was the culprit, however the difficult

I am on SharePoint 2016 and Nintex 2013. Requirement: The team wants a Microsoft Word document that allows spellcheck and other formatting options that are limited or unavailable in InfoPath. I am attempting to automate a process where each month, analysts upload graphs and other images to an asset library by company and topic and a report is generated for users to input comments. One firm can have many topics, each topic has a graphic. So the final result will be: ABC CompanyTopic 1ImageCommentsTopic 2ImageComments Each month the images are refreshed with new uploads from a SQL script that will save over each image with the same filename. My workflow queries the images by firm and by topic, then creates a document in a library and updates the fields accordingly. So: LibraryCompany 1Topic 1 Name (single line text)Topic 1 Image (image)Topic 1 Comments (multi-line text)Topic 2 NameTopic 2 ImageTopic 2 CommentsCompany 2etc. My workflow queries the image library by company and topic, creat

I have a running workflow that allows a checkout edit and checkin of an excel file.  This excel file is uploaded to the SharePoint Library and specific properties are filled in for the workflow e.g. approvers.  We have just migrated to SharePoint 2013 and Office 16.   When the execl file is checked out  for editing, it cannot be checked in. The server error on the file is: "cannot save excel file after edit, correct invalid or missing properties error message". Additionally, the properties cannot be refilled in.   The workflow Checkin action is set at "Overwriting the previous version" Is there a correction so that the file can be checked out and checked in without changes to the properties?

Hi all, I am trying to create a leave workflow that copies number of days of annual leaves taken to another list (lets call it Leave Balance), it also must subtract the number of days taken from 30 (which is eligible days). I have already done this and it works fine. The thing is if a user applies more than one time for a leave, the first time number of days should be subtracted from 30, otherwise it should subtract from remaining eligible days.I think that I should be using run if action, then update field but I am not sure about the configuration.Any help would be appreciated. Please note that this process is in leave request workflow so upon approving, line manager must refer to leave balance list to check number of days left for employees.
