If you put a Date/Time control that is "Date Only", on a form, and set its value via this code: NWF$(function(){ NWF$("#" + d3).val("01/01/2016"); });Then add a validation rule on this control to prevent a blank date:  isNullOrEmpty({Self})the validation rule will not undrestand its value, and show validation error message. Now, if you set "Date Only" drop down to "No" on contorl settings dialog, this problem does not occure.Why?

I have a scenario where I want to set a lookup column to null from the workflow, as if the value was never selected.Something equivalent to this PowerShell but in Nintex Workflow:$item["ColumnName"] = $null$item.update()Thank you in advance

Per this Marian Hatala post (thx Marian Hatala‌) I put in a Pause at the top of my WF and I also put in a Commit and Pause (1 min) after every 50 transactions (Create New Item) within a For Each.  For some reason 50 records get written out and the Pause says it starts (Pausing for 1 minute) and then after 5 minutes there is an error without the Pause ever completing.Note the Pause For works fine at the top of the Workflow. Pause completes within 5 minutes.Why does the Pause For not work within the Loop after 50 items.Lastly note - I change the iterations to 100 prior to the pause and same behavior - the pause started, but failed.  100 items did get written out to the list though..

Hello everyone,I have a couple of lists - Customers- Products- Requests In the requests list I am looking up both customers and products, I also have some calculated fields based on the customer and products lists.I have migrated the list from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2016 using shargate and I have rebuilt the Nintex form including the lookups to the customer and products lists. They are, for all intents and purposes, identical including the ID's of the customers and products as I templated them up and re-created them rather than migrating them. I have updated the lookups incase there are GUID issues and all seems well when creating a new item.However, when displaying or editing an old pre-existing item, (there's 5000 of them) the customer and product information is not displaying on the drop down. If I go and find the information and select it again (then save) it displays perfectly fine the next time. Has anyone ever seen this behaviour before or know a way around it? I don't wa

Hiis there a method to count the total number of records returned when updating a smartview through a smartobject. I am returning many thousands of records but don't know how many exactly.  I would like to show this on screenthanks

The picture should explain things. Most of my trees are missing the "new" node. I don't know what you call it. This happens from time to time. It's really annoying to work around. I can't place any actions after the action set.  The only way to get things added to the branches when this happens is to add them above the last action on the tree. This works right up until you realize that you also can't drag/drop any of the existing branch items to reorganize it.  So now you have a bunch of actions out of order and you can't reorder them. Probably just need to delete them and start fresh right? Oh, can't do that either.

Hi everyone, I would appreciate if someone would give me a hint to solve the following issue: I have to send a notification from a specific email address (something like: Company_Customer_Centre@domain.com). I tried: to write the email address in the From field, to add it as an external address, to make it as default value for a variable, to set the variable within the WF, to bulit the email address word by word (together with underscores). It is working only if I write it directly in the from field and only for one/two times or in the first hour. If I schedule the WF 1 hour after I publish the Wf, it doesn't work, the email is sent from a address like: sharepoint@domain.com! Do you think it is because of the two underscores or is it too long? It is not the first time when I'm doing this, but this email address just doesn't work. Thanks a lot!Alina

Hello I'm curious if it's possible to add an information, which i've collected in my list, into the Nintex Workflow Tasks list. Basically the user types in for whom the request is for. This information is stored in the column location. I'd like to add the information in the column location, to the Nintex Workflow Tasks list. With this additional information, I can filter the requests individually for each department. I could refer the items from the list and the task list with the "task name", which is the title in the tasks list.

Nintex Community,When a flexi-task is assigned, what is the best way to extract the task 'approval url' when not using emails? I have a list view prepared with all necessary fields to complete the business process and want the approval url to be part of the export. My solution has been to query the workflow task list but it is messy. There has to be a better way since the information is already within the task. How do I sent the approval url to a list column without having to do this?.

Hello, I am working on a workflow that is triggered when a certain binary field is set to "Yes". It will then create a copy of the document in another library and delete the original, essentially making a move command. The workflow works fine when triggered manually, but the issue comes from our versioning settings. We force people to check out documents for document integrity, but for some reason when they check the file back in, the workflow never runs. I editied a file, checked it back in, and waited an hour. Nothing. Then, I disabled the force checkout, edited a file and it ran with 5 minutes. Any suggestions?

Hi all,I need to copy a list element from a static source list to a dynamic target list (depending on the date it is "Q1-2019-target list"; "Q2-2019-target list", etc.). Therefor I cannot use nintex copy element (target list cannot be dynamic).So I need to use a web service for that. Unfortunately my attempt to do so does not work:Has anyone a clue why this is not working?!?Cheersmai-kelPS: the workflow is running on the source list and should start every time a new entry is created.

Dear community, we are currently facing havy problems with our Nintex form. In a nutshell, our form uses a total of 25 Looup fields, each providing a numeric value based on a choice of Yes or No, e.g. Yes means 0,25 and No means 0,10. To sum up the single values, we use a calculated value that provides the result.The lookup fields are used in two sections, which means we have to calculated values, one for each usecase.This has the effect, that the form need about 5 seconds to react, as each calculation is done automatically at runtime, regardless if needed or not. No the customer came up with the idea to have a repeating section with each section having a calculated value.That made the form no longer usable, as ten entries in the repeating section multiply the loading time to the point that the browser (we use IE) comes up with a message about a script that prevents the browser to react. Does anyone have an idea if it is possible to stop the calculated values to calculate automatically

Hey @ll, I would like to disable a field after first entry in a custom Nintex form.That mean, the responsible user have one possibilty to edit a field inside the form. But If the user save the form, it´s stil possible to edit the form for other empty fields.  I will prevent, that user have the possibility to change there first entries.  Is that possible OOTB ?

I have a SQL control that is setup as a check box (multiple-selection).  The possible selections are quite lengthy and quickly fill up the 255 character limit.  When you do attempt to save a form, you receive  the Invalid Text Value error.  The form does not save and actually causes the form to crash.  Since the SQL control is limited to the single line of text, I was wondering if any one had an idea or two on how I could capture that data and drop it into a multiple line of text sharepoint column. Thanks

Hello,I am trying to update multiple columns in a specific list given a line item ID but I am having trouble figuring out how to format the XML code using a Web Request widget to achieve this.I was previously using a SharePoint Update Items action, but it takes too long to run (and I am having trouble getting it to work) so now I am trying to get achieve my goal using the Web Request action.

I have set it up with the correct LDAP Path and authentication. When I do an execute on the following query it returns the expected employeeid. (&(displayName=Diane Sharts)) When I publish the workflow with either the above hard coded or with my variable and assigning the employeeid to a variable I get nothing.(&(displayName=[WorkflowVariable:perADName]))No errors or clues as to why this isn't working. The variable I'm assigning it to is a string should it be something else?  Can someone please help!!!!

I have an issue with two workflows that have Flexi Task being assigned to the approvers. However, after they make their decisions the Flexi Task is not completing. I have confirmed they are completing the task. However, it is not continuing the workflow and if you look at the task status it says either "pending" or "in-process". There is nothing custom about the Task Form other than the header image is changed, and the columns are re-arranged. Anyone else have this issue? One of the two workflows worked before, the other is new. Any suggestions help!

Are the reCAPTCHA results data available to the user?  We're just starting to implement reCAPTCHA v3 on our other forms, and figured that using our already existing Nintex Cloud forms would be a good way to get started in viewing that sort of information.  Best,Jonathan RasmussenSoftware Developer ICollege of Southern Idahojrasmussen@csi.edu208-732-6846

 Symptoms You can no longer copy text from a list view and paste it elsewhere. Diagnoses When we (K2) added functionality to do a "multi-select" on a list view and added the "for each" functionality in workflow, the functionality to copy/paste text from a list view "broke". This has been diagnosed as a bug. Resolution We routed the ticket to the LABS support team for investigations and the engineer working the ticket has logged an item for us in TFS. Currently this issue is slated for investigations during the 4.6.12 time frame. This functionality should be fixed in a future build.

In my workflow , i only have an assign flexi task.Task forms have you can delegate this task to another person with hyperlink.If i click on delegate hyper link, which is redirect to delagate task URL but the page is broken.Issue:I just check on the delegate url, which contain prefix url adding with my two domain nameExample:Delegate link URL:http://testingsite.abc.com.abc.com/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/DelegateTask.aspx?ID=7677&List=40e7158e-990c-4f71-ad6e-255but web URL is:http://testingsite.abc.comBut if i use delegate link in the email content, i dont have issue, but when i using inside Nintex form, i am getting URL prefix issue.So it should display delegate link http://testingsite.abc.com/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/DelegateTask.aspx?ID=7677&List=40e7158e-990c-4f71-ad6e-255instead ofhttp://testingsite.abc.com.abc.com/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/DelegateTask.aspx?ID=7677&List=40e7158e-990c-4f71-ad6e-255where can i change delegate s

Does it not work if you put a list column field on the form twice? The New Item form is not saving my input from this field to the list. We have two Product Number formats, so my form conditionally shows the appropriate panel based on the Product Number Type choice, with validation for the number of digits corresponding to each field. The only way to do this validation is with a regular expression in the control setting, so it doesn't work to make the validation conditional (no access to the Number Type's value, either by Reg Ex or JavaScript). That is how I ended up with two fields for one list column to begin with. In the attached image, the fields with matching colors are both connected to the same list column: Yellow ---> PN1Green ---> PN2Red ---> PN3 I really don't want to have to have two sets of Product Number list columns. Any suggestions as to why the form is not saving the Part Number values?

I have two panels, we'll call them Series and SK, each with a formatting rule that hides them. The Series panel condition is: not(ProductNumberType=="Series Number") and the SK panel condition is: not(ProductNumberType=="SK Number"). Both panels, and the panels below them, are all contained on one large panel that contains the first tab of the whole form. After hours of trial and error I have never been able to get both Series and SK to display correctly at the same time. Always, only one of them works and the other is displayed in the same place as what's supposed to be either above or below it. Both have been the one that worked, at some point. They are in all possible ways identical to each other. I have already tried:making sure everything is actually on the large panelputting a grid square of space around all the panels, and between the panel borders and everything within themchanging the order of the rulesNo matter what I do, only one of them ever displays correctly at a time. Is

Hi All, hoping some can help me.I'm trying to get a count of open tasks in the Workflow tasks list to display on a form. Why because users want to log on to the landing page and see a big number of open tasks belonging to them instead of their list of open tasks. it will form part of a dashboard along with some other important information and graphs.  After trying a few different things I've decided to try the Web Request action in Nintex forms, my problem is that I can't seem to get the count XPath function to work, and have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I get results with XPath "//m:Properties/d:Title". I've seen in places that people add a select query in the service URL but no idea how to construct this and using count() in the XPath for display field returns nothing. What am I doing wrong?? When I do get the count function to work I need to have 2 filters, since this is a task list I need to see items Where assigned to = CurrentUser AND Status =NotStarted
