Hello, How can I replace all special characters in a workflow? Say you get a string from a SharePoint list: (MyString#1-a). So, I want to remove all special characters from that string: ()#- and I want to replace them with an HTML code for each symbol. So my final string would be: %2528MyString%25231%252Da%2529where...%2528 is the parenthesesMyString%2523 is the #1%252D is the -a %2529 is the closing parenthesesNote, I have all the html encoding reference for special characters.

I know the title only creates more questions... let me elaborate. We are building a supply request form that is used in Kuwait. Because of this, the unit cost may be in U.S. Dollars (USD) or it may be in Kuwaiti dinar (KD). Lets suppose the exchange rate is 3.290 KD to 1.00 USD; if I enter 329.00 USD in the "Estimated Unit Cost-USD" field, I want 100.000 KD (yes, the KD is rendered in 3 decimal places) to show up in the "Estimated Unit Cost-KD" field. Alternatively though, if we receive an estimate in KD and I enter 100.000 KD into the "Estimated Unit Cost-KD" field, $329.00 should show up in the "Estimated Unit Cost-USD" field.So, I want neither field to be a calculated value so that we can enter values manually in either.Finally, I want the "Total Estimated Cost..." fields to calculate the respected unit cost values times the requested quantity value.Any thoughts?Thanks and Regards,Patrick

I have a form with a button that the user wants to change a field, save the item and reopen it for further editing.  I have used the Redirect URL parameter to accomplish that but also want the URL to include the Source parameter so that the interface goes back to the proper place when the item is closed.  This is the formula I have entered:fn-If(fn-Equals(Status,"Submitted"),fn-Replace(Item URL,"DispForm","EditForm")&Source=fn-GetQueryString("Source"),fn-GetQueryString("Source"))The problem I have is that the text appears to be encoded by Nintex because the '&' is changed to '&", which makes the URL not work.  I've tried everything I can think of but if the last thing it does is encode that string, I'm not sure I will be able to prevent the encoding.  When I tried using fn-XmlDecode("&") as part of the formula, the output string included '&' but truncated there.Is there any way to do what I want?  I saw something in a post about using {TextStart} and {TextE

Hi,Is there a way, without the use of a ForEach action, to query a collection variable by a value and get its index inside the collection?I'm using Nintex Workflow 2013 on-premisesGiacomo

Hi All,I've recently transitioned into a workflow developer role and I'm quite still new and learning the Ins and Outs of creating workflows. Would anyone know if it's possible to run the a workflow on a document that's already running that same workflow? If not, is there a workaround it or should I just break out my workflow?"The selected workflow is already running on this list item."

Hi, I'm trying to make currency type field to show numbers separated by commas while editing. Eg. $123,456,000.99I tried the scripts given here but they are not working. Need help. Thanks.

Good day everyone,I have a field that I want to set the value on when a button is clicked, I know this needs to be done with JS, but I am not sure how to go about it.  So for example when Button1 is clicked field1 = 1, when Button2 is clicked field 2 = 2...etc.Thanks,Jennifer

To export repeating section data to excel 

Within the Assign Flexi Task, I set up the Task Notification with specific text. Testing the workflow results in the defaults to the site collection Message Template. Do not want to change the default message at the site collection level. Just want the email associated with the flexi task to follow the flexi task configuration. Help please.

I have setup a workflow (based on this tutorial) to generate (and increment) a form ID and set that form ID to the "Title" field in my form.  Everything works fine except that I want to see that workflow generated form ID in a label control (so users can't tamper with it) when a new form opened.  The workflow doesn't run until I save the workflow.  Is there a way start the workflow that generates the form ID when opening the form so that I see the generated form ID already populated instead of starting the workflow after the form is saved?Thanks!

I am attempting to disable values within choice drop down fields in Nintex Classic.The issue is this:I applied the following javascript to the customer javascript section in the form settings menu and it is NOT working.  Meaning, when I publish the form and then edit the item I still see the values I do not want them to select. I need the users to select certain values but be able to see other values that would be applied by workflow from other list,etc but not be able to update certain value themselves.@I have to be missing something simple.Fields have a point value, 0 value, and a Report value in each field, not necessarily same order(considered using CSS with setfield value can be different for fields).IE:120ReportHere is what I have for the form custom javascript settings:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function(){ NWF$('.Test1option[value="16"]').prop('disabled',true); NWF$('.Test2 option[value="14"]').prop('disabled',true); NWF$('.Test3 option[value="12"]').prop('disable

I created a rule to disable a text field if a combobox is set to "A".When I select option "A" it works correctly, however if I select any other option in that same combobox and then return to option "A", the text field is enabled.What can be?Thank you in advance!

I have a "simple" requirement to allow the user to select between a fixed range of numbers, 0-4, and I'm trying to find an elegant UI for this input because a plain ol' single line of text input just won't do! Sure, I can turn on validation and enforce the min/max values, but this isn't visually communicated to the user.So, I can do this with a Choice field formatted as either a Drop down list, or, with Option buttons (render as buttons: yes).Both of these visually communicate a ranged-input, but I was looking for more modern alternatives.I found some really old posts referring to the use of jQuery UI and that Nintex Forms includes this by default? For example, I tried to use the .spinner() and .slider() methods on an input but it produces an error in the console. Also, if I search in the official help documentation, 0 results are returned on "jQuery", which wasn't promising. So, my questions are as follows:Is jQuery UI supported out-of-the-box with Nintex forms? If so, how does one go

I have a textbox that is populated by a Javascript function.  I want to connect that textbox to a column in my list and keep coming up blank. I've tinkered with the datatype in my list column (right now it's a number, but have tried currency and string). I've added a calculated value field whose formula is just the value of the textbox (so I could then connect the calculated value to the list column). I've tried to get something to work using a formatting rule. No dice on any of these. It seems I'm missing something obvious. Why would the list column care if the field is populated by JavaScript? My textbox properties:Snippet of Javascript that populates txtTotalCost: NWF$('#'+jsTotalCost).val(totalCost);

Hi,I have two lists. In the first list, the user inputs the number of items they want to create in the second list.  The workflow creates the items successfully, but it's running extremely slow.  Example:  User wants to create 3 items in the second list.  Workflow runs and creates 3 items taking information from the first list.  It takes up to 15 minutes for 3 items to get written to the second list.Any ideas where to look for the slowdown?

Good day,I built a workflow that creates a folder / sub folder structure when creating a new document set or a new folder in a document library.The workflow works perfectly when starting it manually on the new document set / folder. The requirements is that the workflow should start automatically whenever a new doc set / folder is created. The problem is that whenever I set the workflow to "start when items are created", the workflow creates the Sub Folders in the document library root, instead of in the new folder. It also shows errors on some of the folders (error message attached).I would think that there is something wrong with my workflow, but the thing is it works perfectly when starting it manually.I also tried changing the settings on my action set to "Run as Workflow Owner", but I'm still getting the same errors.Is there a way of duplicating the manual workflow start action to "start when items are created"?

Hi All, Can anyone explain limitations for Nintex Forms (O365) Limitations?How many rows we can add it inside the repeating sections?How many input elements we can add it in forms as well as repeating sections?if more input elements in the form, is that affect performance for the form load?Thanks in Advance!!Regards,Muthu T

Hi - I'm trying to show/hide a form field based on the results of a dropdown and a number input. The field should only show if the user selects a particular option of a dropdown (which I'm solid on) and if the input threshold is < 20000 or >= 10000I can do this all day long in C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, VBA but its giving me the fits. The particular fields are:TypeofCase (the dropdown)DenialAmount (the number input)Right now I've tried TypeofCase != "Initial Case Review"  && DenialAmount < 20000  just to see if it'll work and I can't get any traction on the numeric entry. Any suggestions?

I'm running into an issue with a SharePoint Task form that has been converted to a Nintex form.  In browsers other than Internet Explorer, we have issues with HTML tags displaying inside the Task Description field when opening the task to edit it.  Also the Rich Text formatting tool bar only displays in IE.  The latest versions of Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all show this issue.I have a case open with Nintex Tech Support but they cannot reproduce the issue, so they are not interested in investigating further.  I've confirmed that we do not have any Group Policies applied that would effect browser settings.  I've also tested in a non-domain joined VM and have the issue.  It happens both in Windows and Mac computers.I've attached a screenshot of a form with the issue with the html tags highlighted. Has anyone else run into this issue? Thanks,Lee

I have two lists - one is VHProjectList & other is Project Contracts. The VHProjectList has the fields as Ops Project ID, Short Name, Proj Manager. The Project Contracts also has the fields Project ID, Short Name. I created a look up field for ProjectID to Ops Project ID in VHProjectList and want the value in Short Name in Project Contracts list to be autopopulated based on ProjectID from the VHProjectList. I am using the Listlookup runtime function in nintex forms. The formula I used is lookup("VHProjectList", "Ops Project ID", ProjectID, "Short Name") and also changed the drop down to recalculate on View mode. But when I run it, I see the value in Short Name is calculating but not populating in the form. Please help me what wrong I am doing in the formula

Hi,We have our app running created using app studio. However, I did not create a URL schema. Now, since deep linking is available for custom apps, I am thinking of creating URL schema to open apps through deep links. My question is, if I create an URL schema now do I have to redeploy app from app studio? My guess is most probably, but my fear is, is it going to affect currently applied certificates, do I have to recreate distribution profile and certificates?I would really love to see some type of documentation from nintex on creating distribution profiles, and certificates.

I have a task form where I want to execute some JavaScript only when the form is valid.   I know how to execute JavaScript  when the Save button is pressed but how do I check if the form is valid? I have seen code that checks if there are validation error messages displayed on the form but is there a better way?
