I have a very strange thing happening. I have an expense claim form which has an attachment control. Users have reported that some of the forms are not going to their manager for approval - the manager fails to receive a workflow email. (Upon form submission the initiator receives an acknowledgement email and then the workflow triggers an approval request to their manager).After doing some testing it seems that if the form has an attachment that is approximately 1.2MB or bigger, the workflow email message fails to send. The Web app setting for max upload document size is 300MB. The form works perfectly well if the attachments are 1.1MB or under.Does anyone know why this is happening?Thanks

Hi everybodyI have a workflow which uses the Request data action to send a task to certain users. This task asks them to fill in a PO number. When the task isn't completed in 12 days, the task is delegated to their manager.However, in the list on which this workflow runs, I also have a column Current actor to identify which person currently holds the active task. This is because this flow contains many more tasks that are set to different users. I use this column to create personalised views for all users where they can see the records for which they have pending tasks.So when the task is delegated, the column Current actor needs to be updated to the manager as well. Otherwise, both the user and the manager will not see the correct records.So my question is if there is a way to catch when a task is delegated so I can perform an additional action to update the Current actor column? I've thought about running a parallel action with a timer that starts with the task, but this doesn't feel

OK Guys I am going crazy, I am so sure this should work. I have a workflow that is attaching a url to a different list. Let me be specific. When a document is added to a document library, a workflow runs and sees if the document metadata has a choice column set to a specific value. If it does then it grabs the title from a lookup filed and goes to the list that value was just looked up from. It uses build string to build a url followed by a comma then a space then the word Others. So the string looks like http://www.google, Others. Then I do an update item and attempt to update the a url field on the target list with the string http://www.google.com, Others. I keep getting the error: The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.I have tried my update item with the workflow variable as a url, or as a string(default), but no luck. In other areas of this workflow I am updating the list in different ways i

I am trying to set the text in the body of an email to show a specific item is assigned to a person.  The assignee's information is being captured on the form in a field called "Assigned To" pulling from a sharpoint group that includes the user.  For what ever reason I can only get this i:0#.w|cogdbach.  I need to be able to pull in First Last name.Have tried to use a "Query User Profile" in the workflow, but nothing works.

Hello,I have a customer with a few workflows that are intermittently failing to start saying "Cancelled by System Account" even though they are started as the user permissions. Note that the Workflow history is also very high because when I click the WF history link the ie window just sits there and spins. I was just wondering is there a Nintex recommended amount of history records so we know about how often to run the nwadmin commands to clear it?

Hi,I'm evaluating Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2013, and I should implement electronic signature for Nintex Forms with jSignature. Are there special requirements for the signature pad here? Would something like this work together with Nintex Forms: http://www.wacom.com/en-gb/enterprise/business-solutions/hardware/signature-pads/stu-430vIdea is to ask a person to sign a Nintex - SharePoint Form when receiving a physical key.All the best,Kari

Helps populate the first column in a list view with running sequence number. The sequence will refresh when sorting is applied, page moved or jumped. See document for more detail.    IMPORTANT  This control uses MutationObserver (javascript) to detect changes in the DOM. It will work well with Chrome, Firefox, Safari (not tested) and IE 11. IE 10 and below does not support MutationObserver.        Compatibility Testing  IE11, Chrome, Firefox on K2 smartforms 4.6.11 => OK K2 smartforms 4.6.10 => NOT TESTED K2 smartforms 4.6.9 => NOT TESTED Chrome on K2 smartforms 1.0.7 => OK.

Hi,we have parallel flexi tasks in our workflow. 5 in total in Run parallel actions.Our issue is that sometimes the workflow fails after the flexi task has been responded to by the assignee.The error message isError in task. Unauthorized attempt to update workflow task by [username]. The response has not been recorded.It is not a permission issue, same user has responded to many wf tasks before without problems.I have been in touch with Nintex support able this but apart from finding out some unhandled batched actions (which I then handled by adding commit pending changes actions where appropriate) and suggestion of adding pause for 5 minutes before and after the Run parallel actions with those flexi tasks (which I also added), we have not really been able to find the proper solution for this.Anyone faced this before? Have you managed to find the solution for this?Many thanx for any help hereJan Marek

Hi, I am using Nintex 365 forms, SharePoint online, responsive form wanting to achieve the following with my leave form I have built.1. I have two date picker fields from a SP List  (LeaveStart) & (leaveEnd) which are set to date only2. I would like to the user in the nintex form to select there start date (LeaveStart) and have the end date "Month" (leaveEnd) auto update to the same month as the start date. This is to assist the users so that they cannot select a end date that is before the start date.I have seen this work on most airline booking sites where you cannot select your end to be before the start date which makes perfect sense, just dont know how to go about this in Nintex Forms (Office 365)Thanks

I get this error when in k2 BP workspace --> Reports ---> Public Folder --> Workflow reports --> Standard reports --> Process Overview.Select a processSelect process instanceErrorThe path of the item "(null)" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply. (rsInvalidItemPath) Good news is I can see this when using SQL Reporting directly.

 Symptoms RuntimeService has encountered an error. The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. Diagnoses Coldfix required. Error exception has been thrown by the target of invocation. Resolution Coldfix was applied and seems to have resolved issue. 

 Symptoms I already created SmartObjects from webservice and when I want to migrate it to another server using K2 package and deployment, error "The specified path, file name, or both are too long"I noticed this issue occurred when we create SmartObjects from WSDL from the SmartObjects Service Tester. The generated name includes all input parameters, which result in the SmartObject's system name being too long. Diagnoses - We tried to generate the same SmartObjects with a shorter name, and are able to deploy those SmartObjects. Resolution Removed the problematic SmartObjects, and re-created it with the same GUID and shorter name. 

 Symptoms Getting the error exception below when attempting to create a PandD package:ErrorException has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Type:SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectExceptionSource:SourceCode.SmartObjects.ClientMethod BaseMember Type:MethodName:ExecuteScalarModuleScope Name:SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.dllDeclaring TypeFull Name:SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServerStack Trace:at SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer.ExecuteScalar(SmartObject smartObject, DataTable inputTable)at SourceCode.Forms.AppFramework.FormRuntime.SmartObjectExecution(XPathNavigator nav, Boolean outputDependencies, SmartObjectClientServer svr)at SourceCode.Forms.AppFramework.FormRuntime.WorkXmlToApi(String xml)at SourceCode.Forms.Runtime.AJAXCall.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)This prevents me from creating a package of my solution. Diagnoses It was determined the issue was due to the filename being too long when attempting to create a package:

My form displays a field in black font when in view. When the user selects Edit Item, the field doesn't show. However, when the user highlights the contents of the field, it's there (in light blue font). The field type is a single line of text. Other fields with the same characteristics in the form work fine. I tried using Format Painter to copy the format from one of the fields that behaves, but that didn't fix it.

I have an sql Request Control  that is pulling data from a database view.  I need to make that field read only.  Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?  I don't want people to be able to change what gets populated there from the database when they fill out the form.

I have list with a column with e-mail adresse (single text line ) and now I wanted to test if this is a valid mail-adresse in AD(Userprofile)But when I try (started with a valid my own) it alway get errorWhat is wrong:

How do you set up a workflow that automatically sends a email notification to thenew assignee each time the Assigned To: People Picker field changes.  Seems simple but I cannot find anything that works.What should the Conditional Startup Option page look like?  What is the Variable?  When "Assigned To" is not equal to the previous?  I've read some forums regarding adding a text field in the List and doing some kind of compare.  Hoping that isn't how this works, and if so, that there is a easier way.

Is it possible in a Nintex classic form to create a single line of text field that can be used in multiple places but maintain the same values? Without using a calculated field. I want the users to be able to change it from two different tabbed views i created in my form.

For a form where I have a list lookup the user only sees the Title Column when selecting a value.  Is it possible to display a second column within the form for the List Lookup.  When I go to List settings for the lookup field I do have multiple columns selected, but they only display in a List View.

Hi all,I'm looking for a solution that will capitalize all characters entered inside a Repeating section.I've been using the following javascript and it applies to the first control in the Repeating section.Code :NWF$(document).ready(function(){ NWF$('#' + varControl).change(function(){ this.value = this.value.toUpperCase(); });});Code is from here: https://community.nintex.com/thread/17335-force-text-to-uppercaseI've had a chat to some people in the office who know javascript better than me and they're mentioning that it's due to the script being applied when page is loaded. Adding another row doesn't apply the script due to this, new row also has a new ID which is affecting it. But because they don't know nintex it may take some time before they could get it working themselves.Does anyone have a solution? At this point I'm indifferent to using JavaScript or CSS as capitalization only needs to be applied to the form rather than a sharepoint list

Hi all!I have a CAML query against a SP list and am trying to grab some fields where the Author field of the list = the current User in an Nintex collection (the collection is populated by a list query that returns SP users). Currently I have:<Where>     <Eq>          <FieldRef Name="Author"/>          <Value Type="Lookup">{WorkflowVariable:currCommentor}</Value>     </Eq></Where> I've tried value Type = User which also doesn't work.  I've also tried LookupId="True" in the fieldRef. The other bummer is that I don't know what's in that currCommentor at run time to be able to type it into the CAML editor to 'Run Now'.   Am I barking up the wrong tree? Seems like this should work in theory

Hello,Does anyone know how to (if possible) to change the font color and size of a calculated control?I have a control with a formula IF(LENGTH(CONTROL) >=1,1,0)+IF(LENGTH(CONTROL2) >=1,1,0) which returns the number of questions that have been answered.I would like to set the entire calculated control font color to RED.Is it possible?Thank you

 Symptoms When attempting to create a SmartObject off of a Stored Procedure from a SQL database, there is only an Execute method available, rather than a List method. Diagnoses Because they are known to causes issues with "SET FMTONLY", K2 does not support the use of temporary tables in Stored Procedures. More information is available here:http://help.k2.com/displaycontent.aspx?id=7349 Resolution Rather than a temp table, a table variable should be used. This should resolve the issues. The above documentation has some more options as well. 

Hello,I have a form which contains a choice control (how it works see here:  ). This works fine, but when I do not fill all mandatory fields I just get the information, that there are missing fields, but not the name of the field and where (in which tab). All the mandatory fields have a red frame but they are in different tabs. Is there a way to give the users a hint and to support the user to find the fields?See attached screenshot. Nintex Forms finds two missing mandatory fields, one is visible, but the second one is hidden in tab 'Tab2'.Thanks,  Peter

Hi Community, I have on 2 different occasions now seen this strange behavior where after publishing a change on a Workflow A whole lot of actions just disappeared off of my Workflow... I did not modify those actions or delete them, they just disappeared off of the Workflow canvas.Interestingly the 2 times I have seen this happen, it is everything after a Flexi Task. It is also a rather large workflow, so was wondering if that could have something to do with it. Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this!This is what my workflow should look like:This is what it looked like when i opened to check why the approval task inside my State machine is looping continuously, everything is gone...#
