Good afternoon,@vadim_tabakman or anyone who has the knowledge to helpl, I'm trying to populate a list with repeating section information in a SharePoint On Premise 2013 list. I'm following this 2012 post http://www.vadimtabakman.com/nintex-formsworkflow-parsing-repeating-section-data.aspx but I keep getting this error (picture below).I'm guessing it has something to do with the UDA I built but I'm not entirely sure...I'm not sure if this is still the best way to put repeating information in a list. I have attached my Nintex form, the UDA and the workflow for inspection. I appreciate any help in advance ~ Andrew

I am trying to create a workflow where the assigned to task will be filtered based on the type of task. I created a filter where it will run if Building 15 is selected it will run. There are 4 subcategories such as visitor, access, work order, etc. that have specific people that will handle the task. So if visitor is selected it will be assigned to the appropriate person.I tried the state machine and parallel workflow since it has several branches to separate the tasks. Can you please assist me with this?

When we update the list settings for a form on SharePoint (i.e. more drop down list options on a form), the only way to update the form on the Mobile App is to delete the account profile and go through the entire log in process.  Is there a setting, function, etc. that would allow the form to automatically update?  Thanks

I have a dropdown list with 3 options Red, Amber & Green. When the user selects one of the options then I want the background color of the dropdown list to change to the relevant color. This was easy in InfoPath but as we are migrating to Nintex would appreciate any advice on how to achieve this.

 I have a lookup column in the list where the workflow is running. I would like to display the value of this field in the e-mail sent to the initiatior after successful submission. When using the "Insert reference" -> Item properties -> the value is not available in the e-mail.Tried using "Set variable" -> List lookup -> Current item -> Field with lookup -> it's not working too. Do you have any other ideas how to do it?

I created a library from a template because it's part of a workflow process that an entire department uses. So I have to use this library because I have to use the workflow that gets published to this list (also part of the process). It's standard, I have to use it.I created a Nintex form because I wanted to require fields that I can't require in SharePoint because my workflow won't run if I have required fields in my SharePoint library. When I upload a document, I keep getting the default SharePoint form and not my Nintex form. How do I override the SharePoint form? I thought this happened automatically when I publish a Nintex form. That has been my experience to date.

Note: I'm using Nintex 2010 and I cannot upgrade.I have a form with multiple submit buttons in different panels. Depending on the user's selection from a drop down menu, the appropriate panel/submit button shows. When the user clicks the submit button, their form data should be saved to the list but a new tab/window should also open with a specific URL. There's a section in the button control settings that says "Client Click" and allows for javascript, but i'm not sure what the javascript should look like. Any help would be great!

Hi, I'm a new user to Nintex for SharePoint so please bear with me. I've added a 'New Request' button to my page. When the user clicks the button, this takes them directly into the Nintex form - perfect. When they then click 'Submit', 'Save' or 'Cancel' it re-directs the user to the list of requests. Please can someone tell me how to re-direct the user back to the request page (the initial page with the request button) rather than to the list? Thanks :smileyhappy:

Hello everyone, this is the scenario to see if there has been something similar, I have an approval form that when it is worked must remove the permission of everyone and leave them alone reading, but the other list. From a list to another list is this possible?

I am converting InfoPath forms to Nintex Forms. My customer liked the confirmation pop-up on submission in InfoPath, so I enabled the confirmation message for the submission button in Nintex Forms. However, the message that the form has been successfully submitted pops up before validation completes. So if the user forgot anything, they click submit, get the message that submission was successful and then the form reloads with their validation errors displayed. The button is set to Save and Submit.Why is this happening and how do I fix it???

In the task approval I need to change approved to implementedAnd Rejected to Not implemented.There is no disabledIf I click to see the properties I see thisWhy do not the properties to change?How can I change the values of choice

Hi, I am creating a Nintex Workflow once i create it, it is not showing in the Workflow Gallery. The workflow still executed properly and i can see it under the list of workflows in the  SharePoint workflow settings. I also checked the work in both the site and the database to see if it is associated to the corrct list and it is. The workflow still does not show in the workflow gallery.  Does anyone know what might be causing this.

I have a list workflow that has a "Create Item" action that creates a discussion in SP13. The issue is that I cannot create rich data for the body including the fields from the worflow. Is there a way to add html or something to get the rich content in there and formatted so it is not all on top of eachother? Thanks

Hi,I've trouble with Nintex publish which I'm working on Task Assign and save work fine but when publish there was error as screenshot below. And other screenshot when i tried publish as it cannot find the path.Can anyone please assist and what I should do next?               

Within Chrome, we're now noticing that the text within <select> options is invisible within Nintex Forms and the Nintex Forms Designer itself. If the browser window is resized, the causes the page to re-render and the options are then visible. Has anybody else come across this?  

Maybe a basic question, but how do I set up a flexi task to wait for the outcome of all assignees, even if one rejects. No matter what I try, the task action seems to cancel all open ones after someone rejects. I've tried most, if not all setting combinations, but can't get it to work the way the customer wants it.Who can help me on this one?

Hi, I am setting the workflow status using the 'Set Worklow Status' action. I want to save this status in a custom site column. Is there a way that this can be done? Thanks

When I add a CSS class to the Form Settings Custom CSS section, it does not render when I publish the form.For example, I added this to the top of the Custom CSS box..nf-form-label .nf-section{      background-color: yellow;   color: blue;    border:5px solid red;}But after I save and publish, none of those appear. The background is not yellow. The font is not blue, etc.I've also tried adding those attributes to the classes that already exist in Custom CSS.

A customer wants to have a different layout for printing. In the regular desktop layout everything is in one column. i.e. the Name label and the Name textbox are on one row. The address label and address textbox are on the next row, etc.What the customer wants is to have the print layout have multiple columns. For example, the Name label and textbox would be in one column. On the same row the address label and address textbox would be in the next column.Of course, the canvas width would also need to increase.I would use the Custom CSS inlcudes to import the print.css sheet.How would I create a class that widens the canvas?How do I rearrange the controls on the form with CSS?How do I have the JavaScript fired from the Print button change the CSS that the Nintex form uses from it's current CSS to the imported CSS?thanks

New to the Nintex community, looking for initinal direction how to go about creating a Nintex workflow similar to the built in Approval-SharePoint 2010 template as attached. I realize I will eed to create a form with the ability to capture the input of multiple lookup users, not sure how to feed this information into a flexi task or would another workflow action be a better thing to look at.  Anyone have any suggestions or helpful starting points they could share?Thanks.  

We plan to upgrade Nintex Workflow / Forms for SharePoint 2016 from version 4.3.3.0 to current 4.4.0.0. We are running our SharePoint with one WFE and one APP server. So for this update, how do we have to proceed? On which server do we have to run installation? Anything special to consider (like stopping certain services, re-starting features, updating DB connections, ...)? Or do we have to run the installer without anything else to do? Can we run upgrade during production or do we need downtime? Thanks for your feedback.

I have custom form numbers. I am using a workflow that pulls a number from a Master Number List assigns it to the form and then increments after a form number is assigned.  This is the method I used - https://www.habaneroconsulting.com/stories/insights/2012/nintex-workflows-makes-it-easy-to-create-an-auto-incrementing-column-in-sharepoint However, twice I have been able to get duplicate numbers. How can I check to make sure that doesn't happen?

I have a manager that has several tasks that need to go out to his team throughout the year. He has annual, semi-annual, quarterly and 5yr tasks. He also wants to send a reminder 30 or 60 days before depending on the task. My plan was to create and schedule site workflow for each frequency (Annual/30 day reminder, Annual/60 day reminder, ect), to check the lists of tasks each month and if it meets the criteria, then send a reminder email w/task to the specified recipients for that task. I created a Query action and attempted using a For Each loop collecting all the data I need from the list item, then assigning a task for each item within the loop. Of course, it only works in serial. I need it to loop through the list and assign a task for each item that meets the criteria for the frequency (Annual/30 day reminder, as an example). Again, each task item my have different recipients that need to receive tasks. Is there a way to assign tasks for each item to the specified recipients at on
