I am still very new to Nintex forms - I am working on my 3rd form.  I have a reasonable amount of experience with other form tools and I am struggling to un-learn them. I have a choice field which is not connected to any SharePoint column.  I have it rendered as a button, and I want the user's selection of that field to show/hide other areas of the form.  When the form is opened for the first time this all works. When the form is opened for the second time it "remembers" the state of the option when it was last opened. (I was not expecting this.)i.e. When opening the form for the first time the choice is blank.  When the button is pressed the choice becomes xxxx.When opening the form for the second time the choice is still xxxx.  As the option is not connected to any column I was expecting the value of choice to be "re-set" to blank on opening.  Is there any way I can achieve this within the form, without user intervention ?  At the moment I have connected the choice to a column in Sha

As part of my nintex wf, I set a field to default date on 01/01/1900, which it does as I can see this in the version history. When I open the form the field is showing as 01/01/1900. When I save the form (making no changes to this field) it saves the field as empty rather than 01/01/1900.  I am using the wait until the date is not 01/01/1900 as an action in the workflow so this is causing issues. Any advice. Thanks

Hi there,I am using Web Request method to create custom CSV file exports from lists. All is good and works flawlessly, except the formatting of the created file. It is saved as UTF-8 without BOM, as would people usually expect. However the problem is, that after putting this file into document library, or downloading it, neither standalone nor SP's web-based excel can read the file properly. All non-ascii characters are broken. I know this problem is old as Microsoft itself. One fix is to add BOM to the file, forcing the excel recognize it is utf-8, and I did this previously just fine within completely manually created files (for example via PHP). However all my possible tries to add such leading bytes to created file via this WebRequest method failed so far, and manually editing every file is not gonna cut it for all our users at all. I was trying to use the headers options to even let it save as Windows1250, or such, but it did zero effect.I also tried to prepare empty file just with

For purposes of building a URL for a link, I am stripping special characters like comma, period and question mark from a string (created by a user entry):fn-Replace({TextStart}{ItemProperty:Title}{TextEnd},{textstart},{textend},)This is working great, but I'm wondering if there is some operator that I can use to refer to all special characters, or if there is an entirely different approach that would deliver the desired result.Ideas?

I am trying to extract a month and year (separately) from a date control on a Nintex form.  It's easy to do on the list and in the workflow but i need the data on the form itself at runtime.  Any ideas how to accomplish?

Hi, I couldn´t find a topic for my issue. I have a workflow with multiple flexi-tasks with the same outcomes (Approve and Reject). I made the form with InfoPath, the problme is, i have more then twenty tasks.

I am trying to migrate a Sharepoint 2007 Nintex workflow to Sharepoint 2010 Nintex environment. I used the method mentioned in the Nintex Site . I have a trial version installed in the 2007 environment. Nintex clearly says that we need to use the NWAdmin.exe tool to detach the DB.But unfortunately when I use NWAdmin.exe command it prompts with "Server name not specified" Error. This is awkward as I tried in every possible way. Can anyone help me to resolve this.E.g.: NWAdmin.exe –o Detach Database –serverName Myserver -databaseName NW2007DBThis prompts the "Server name not specified" error.

I'm trying to collect a list of column names and datatypes to track changes to the sharepoint custom list.  does anyone know how to do this?  I'm hoping there is a practical way of doing this through a workflow instead of a powershell or c# script.  thanks 

I noticed that when tabbing through a form with a keyboard or using assistive technologies on the SharePoint Online Responsive forms, there is a lack of focus  and hover states in the CSS on most of the form fields.Per WCAG 2.0 AA 2.4.7 - Any keyboard operable user interface has a mode of operation where the keyboard focus indicator is visible.A keyboard user tabbing through one of the forms has no clue what form field their on.I can make the changes via CSS offline but there's no where to make these changes on the form itself.How/when can we get a fix on these accessibility issues?

I'm using Nintex Workflow for Office 365. I want to start a workflow based on when a 'Person or Group' field is modified. The form will be submitted blank, but later the field will be changed and I want to trigger the workflow to start then. From what I can tell, the conditional start requires I enter in a specific person or group. Is there a way around this? 

Hi Team, I am having trouble starting Nintex Workflow for a particular list in a particular site.The workflow was set up in such a way that it has to trigger automatically when a new item is created. The flow was working fine until today it started throw errors. When people attempt to action on the request, it is syaing that the task has been locked out by another workflow actually when no flow is running on the list. Hence, i deleted the request and submitted a new one thinking the flow will auto start. But as soon as i submitted a new request, i got the error, "Failed to start(Retrying)". Please help me fix this issue.

Hi all, Here is what i am trying to do: I have a work que which will have items added to it dynamically from outside SharePoint.  The idea is when an item is added to the work que it will reference a master catalogue to determine which of the 100+ lists on my site need to be updated.  I have no issues querying information from the master catalogue but i cannot figure out how to dynamically start an item in the list. For example:i add an entry to work que to start form 1Workflow queries catalogue to determine Form1 is linked to List1Workflow then creates a list item in List1Initiator is emailed a link to the newly created List1  Thoughts ?

Hi all,I have a scenario (SP 2013), where the user have to upload an attachment in order to submit the form. As a next step, the user should be redirected to the edit form of the created list item. I tried to use the "Save and Continue" button, in order to redirect the user to the edit form. Unfortunately, the minimum attachments configuration within the attachment control settings, are not recognized when I use this button type. Switching to "Save" or "Save and Submit" will enable the minimum attachment validation rule. Unfortunately I am not able to redirect to the EditForm as I don't know the list item id, wihtin the NewForm.  What can I do to achieve: 1) Validation of minimum attachment setting should be validated prior submitting the form2) Redirect the form to the EditForm after submitting. Thank you very much in advance,Fabian

I am working on upgrading a SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013, however, the upgrade is going to be done in stages - X amount of sites at a time - instead of all at once.  In that kind of situation, what is the best way to handle moving sites with Nintex Workflow activated?  Currently, all SP content databases are directed to use whatever workflow DB is available (there is only one at this time).  Would it be better to explicitly map all SP content databases to the current Nintex database and then when they are due to be moved/upgraded to the SP 2013 farm, map them to their own Nintex database for the upgrade? Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Greetings, I used to be able to schedule a site workflow to run hourly between 6 AM and 6 PM every day.  I am not seeing how to do this anymore.  Is this capability still available?  If so, how can I accomplish this?  If not, when did this change, and why? Thank you. Wendy

Hello, I'd like to check for only an "@" symbol in Nintex Forms for a text field. This is for email address, and I'd only like to check to make sure they put an "@" somewhere in the string. That's all I need. I'm getting the feeling it's something simple but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying:@and/(@)/gbut neither will validate. Would anyone have thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?  

Hello I have a similar request as this post, where I have a repeated section with a dropbox to select from: Recipient or Somebody else. Along side it, there is a SingleField where I like to have copy the Name of the User (People or Group field) into that when [Recipient] is selected, otherwise if somebody else then the singleField is blank for the user to manually type the name in. PoG field:  [RecipientName]DropBox: [CollectedBy] *this will hide when "Somebody else" is selectedSingleField: [CollectedByUser] Cal.Value [PoGName] this is to show the Surname, Firstname as in a format.userProfileLookup(RecipientName,"PreferredName")What I like to achieve is that, whatever name is selected/typed in the PoG field, then it also replicate or copied over to the [CollectedByUser] within the repeated section, when [Recipient] is selected. To test it, I have tried to use the following which works only on the 1st entry within the repeated section! NWF$(document).ready(function(){   var setRecipient

Hi,I'm trying to workflow the process of following a document or site using the Social api.I'm just wondering if anyone has done this and if so, could they give me a quick walkthrough.

Hi,I have  a Repeating Section and there's a drop down in the repeating section. I am trying to write the Javascript for the repeating section but the code doesn't work just for the drop down.

Hello, I am having a little trouble trying to figure this one out.  I have a site workflow that I need to cycle through all list items (in a particular list) and capture a few things.  I'm using the Query list control to capture the information I need.  Inside the list will be birthdays.  My goal is to be able to identify any person who has just turned 23.  So, what workflow control will allow me to create an age variable from a birthdate?  Once I identify someone, send an email to the corresponding person who needs to know the information.  I can easily convert age in the form, but unfortunately that doesn't help me here.  Someone would need to jump into the forms and update them from time to time.  If someone has a way to do this, please let me know. Thanks@sporcincula
