Using Nintex Forms 2016 in conjunction with SharePoint Server 2016. I am creating a "Request Off Form." The form contains 6 date controls:Created, Current Date, Current Time, Today's Date, Request Start Date, and Request End Date. Created = Common PropertyCurrent Date = Common PropertyCurrent Time = Common PropertyToday's Date = List column, Calculated Value (1st pic)Request Start Date = List column, Date/Time selector (2nd pic is the Rule)Request End Date = List column, Date/Time selector (3rd pic is the Rule)I want to use Rules to invalidate input: Request Start Date must be greater than or equal to Today's Date. Request End Date must be greater than Request Start Date. My validation works with respect to the dates, but does not work with respect to the times. For instance:If Today's Date = 01/14/2019 10:00 AM, then Request Start Date = 01/14/2019 09:00 AM should be invalid.If Request Start Date = 01/15/2019 10:00 AM, then Request End Date = 01/15/2019 08:00 AM should be invalid. I h

I have a form with a choice field using a dropdown with about 20 options.  Can I only show, say five of them at a time?  The scrollable box is showing like 15 of them.

Hello!I have a form with mobile form with attachments in a repeating section.  When I submit, the attachments are intermittently removed from the form, while the rest of the data in the repeating section is saved.  That is to say, if I view the sent item in the mobile app, it clearly shows the attachment, however when I view the submitted form in my browser, the attachment field is blank.So when it should look like this:It looks like this instead:When I submit via the browser version of the form, everything works perfectly. I have also set up a Log to History action at the very start of my workflow and found that the attachment is already gone prior to any potential workflow interference. Has anyone else experienced this before?  Any ideas as to what could cause this behaviour?I am in SharePoint 2013, using Nintex Mobile 7.1 on iOS 12.1.2.Thanks so much!

Hi, I've got a workflow that creates a SharePoint item. However, there is a compulsory metadata field in the list which is causing me some problems. I'd like to be able to assign a value to the metadata field in the "Create an item" action, but it just won't work. I've tried entering the full path with both commas and colons e.g.Level 1,level2,level3Level 1:level2:level3But I always get the errorBad Request "The given guid does not exist in the term store"Is there any way to add the metadata?Thanks.

I am having issues with email notifications that include references to dynamic text. I've read through many posts about using tables for formatting, which works fine for the text in the actual email notification. But when I insert a reference to a text field, the formatting from the field isn't respected.For example, I have a "multiple lines fo text" field (set to Rich text) in my SharePoint list called "Scope". Here is an example of the field filled out on the SharePoint list item:But in the email notification in which the Scope field is referenced, it looks like this:In addition to not respecting the formatting (e.g., numbering, font, etc.), occassionally spaces will be removed, which makes it look unprofessional, as shown below.Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm receiving pressure from my boss to make these email notifications more professional looking. Thank you in advance!

Can Anyone help me in above issue, when I am binding drop-downs dynamically and select some value then this error comes. If value is not selected from those DDLs then items save successfully.

Is anybody out there who could guide me please? With the help of this post "(javascript) How do I populate data into fields based on a selection picked in a look up column? " I was able to populate single line text box, drop down and date fields but I am stuck with radio button, multi checkbox and multi line text box fields to get populated based on lookup field change. Radio button and Multi checkbox fields are getting values though, I test it with "alert" as you can see below.NWF$(document).ready(function () {   var obj = NWF$("#" + LookupProject);obj.change(function () {   var clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();   var web = clientContext.get_web();   var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("DetailReport");   var listItem = oList.getItemById(itemID); clientContext.load(listItem, "Name", "Project", "Department", "StartDate", "RadioButton", "MultiCheckbox", "MultiLineTB");clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function () {document.getElementById(varName).value

Hello,I am trying to use the Web Request widget to create a line item and fill in multiple columns in a dynamic list (dynamic list because the list where content is added always changes).Currently I am only able put information in the Title column of a dynamic list.

Ok, we have a requisition form that creates several entries in a year.  The list definitely hits the 5000 view quickly.  We'd like to have an automated workflow that runs at specific times of the year (could be once).  We will need it to create a folder and name it the previous year and copy all the list items created in that year to the new folder.  Now, I've figured out with the Create Item action how to create the folder.  What I'm struggling with is how to identify all the list items created in the a specific year and move them into this new folder.  I pre-staged the list items with a column and formatted it to have the current year.  How can I now move all the items created in say 2018 into the folder named 2018?  I'm guessing it is a combination of copy item and delete items.  I do not see a move item option.  Any ideas out there?

Hi team, I would like to get some information about the following :1-the integration with SAP is direct or it needs some middlewares. We succeeded to integrated on-premises Sharepoint with SAP. Does this make the integration with your system easy?2- we are going to use Nintex forms and workflow, so is your licenses based on forms, workflows, or users? And how much it cost per license?4-do your products support transport forms & workflows changes/new creation from Dev to QA and to production? And It needs licenses for each server or just production?5-can we control eiditing some parts of forms based on approval.i.e: form goes to procurement, so procurement part inside the form is editable for them, after filling the data and approved it, it will go to finance to fill their part only while other parts just display (not editable) and then approve it.same thing for hiding some parts based on the approval level.5-do you have support inside Saudi Arabia or online ?if you answer me, I wil

Hi,I have a drop down list in the second repeating section, where the option values are populated dynamically using JavaScript below.var rs1drpFirma= NWF$('[data-controlname="rs1drpFirma"] select');NWF$('[data-controlname="rs1drpFirma"] select').on("focus", function (){    var length = $('[data-controlname="rs0FirmaAdi"]').find("input").not(":input.nf-hidden-associated-control").length;    var optionsAsString = "";    var list = $('[data-controlname="rs0FirmaAdi"]').find("input").not(":input.nf-hidden-associated-control");   for (var i = 1; i < length; i++)    {       optionsAsString += '<option value="' + list.value + '" data-nfchoicevalue="' + list.value + '">' + list.value + '</option>';        $(this).html(optionsAsString);    }});This works fine. When I submit this form values, I am getting a sharepoint error. How can I fix this problem? Thanks

I cant get any snippets to drag onto my work canvas. I also tried inserting from the 'dot'. I am creating snippets from action sets. I created a real simple one with a solo build string action in it just for testing but still no-go. Tried using IE11,10,9,8. Anyone have any ideas? Help is appreciated.

Guys , I need to add read permission for a user in a workflow. the user is initiator of a workflow in another list, and during the workflow, an item will be created on the second list (which is for reporting purposes) that the initiator is not supposed to have full read access.I know that this kinda could be created via the "Advanced>Item Level Permission" on the reporting list, but because of logical reasons, the user should not even has "Create Item" access on the reporting list (stop user from manually create reports!) and because of this, the workflow has to be run as Site Owner user, which makes the "Item Level Feature" set by list setting useless (items are created by my user instead of the initiators and therefor they cannot see items they have created)I have used "CALL WEB SERVICE" action to set permissions on different lists before, but this one has to be happen on a single Item on a list, not the whole list.then My only option seems to be using "Web Request" with SharePoin

In rare cases it is necessary to bypass the name resolution of a people control (business case: expense request form where the receipient of the refund may or may not (in rare exceptions) be a system user. This prevents the user from submitting the form (Error message: "There are unresolved entries"). Any ideas?

Hello there. I'm having a permissions problem with a flexi-task. The users who need to respond have contribute access on the list where the flexi-task lives, contribute access on the workflow tasks list, and contribute access to the site. When they try to respond to the task, they get this message: "A form template (.xsn) file cannot be accessed. You may not have the required permissions to open the file". I am using SharePoint 2010 and Nintex 2010. This is what I've tried:1.  If I add the user to the owners group at the site level, they can approve the task. This site is extremely confidential, so this isn't an option to make it work.2.  I went into the https://site/NintexWorkflows/Forms/AllItems.aspx library where all the workflows and flexi-task templates live, and it is inheriting permissions, so the users have contribute.3. I  tried reverting back to the default form for the flexi-task (vs. the InfoPath form) and that didn't help.4. I  tried changing the approvers group to Full Co

As stated in my question title I'm trying to update a Status field in my Infopath form using workflow from a separate SP list. I know that I have to use the true URL to the XML file in the form library. I'm doing this by building a string and placing in a variable. That part is working but the Update XML part is not. To test I'm using a link to an existing XML file in the library and trying to open XPath Builder. But when trying to open Tree View getting please enter valid XML. I know for a fact my URL is pointing to an XML file in the form library. Any thoughts on what the issue may be? As always thanks very much in advance. 

I have a task list called "Checklist".  When a task is checked off as completed, a workflow runs to send an email notification to a person listed in a column called "Recipient To" in the task list.  It is working fine accept when the "Recipient To" column is left blank.  I know how to check for a blank value in the workflow, but I wanted to immediately notify that user that the field is blank (before the workflow is kicked off).  I have put a validation in place in a Nintex Form that works fine.  But, the user would like to check the task as being complete directly in the task list (without editing the item).  I tried to use a List Validation, but I am not given the option to use a person field in the formula.Does anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

Hi all, I'm writing this post just to know if someone else has experienced the same issues and if there are any best practices to do in these case: I have a site collection in SharePoint Content DB1 mapped with default Nintex DB, I've done the backup of the site collection and restored it in a new SharePoint Content DB and I've found all my Nintex workflows but not the UDAs that were defined at site collection level.. I've tried also to restore back in the original place but the UDAs were missing also there.. I had a recent export of the UDAs so I've been able to republish them and fix the workflow but..if I hadn't it could be a major issue.. Do you have experienced a similar situation? Otherwise, how could be moved a Site Collection without these issues? Thanks Giacomo
