Choice fields on a task seem to want to return an alias code instead of the actual text entered/   This can make a workflow really hard to follow.   Is there anyway to convert the alias code to the text that is in the choice field?Why does Nintex  do this on task forms?   It does not work that way in regular forms.

Hi,We are providing a Nintex solution in german language. If we use task delegation the user is redirected on the german version of the task delegation form. So far so good:If the user clicks on "Erfahren Sie mehr zum Thema 'Delegierung'. " he will be redirected on the english version of the nintex help page:Target site (https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016/4.3.2/#cshid=NintexWorkflowDelegation ):How can we adjust this behavior?ThanksRoman

Hello,In a normal SharePoint Issues App you can create a new column as a Calculated (calculation based on other columns)  Type called say "External Reference". You can use the formula section to format the result eg: if your Issue ID is 17 then the formula  "LCS"&TEXT(ID,"0000") will format the Single line of Text to LCS0017 and update the "External Reference". The trouble is that this does not work when the issue is created as the ID does not exist yet so the "External Reference" is not updatedI have used a nintex workflow to using the Set Field value to up the "External Reference" after the issue is created but if I use the same formula "LCS"&TEXT(ID,"0000") my "External Reference" is updated to "LCS"&TEXT(17,"0000")I would really live to update my  "External Reference" after the issue is created so that it looks like LCS0017.Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Here is my actual workflow set up.I have two workflows acting on the same document library:Workflow 11) starts when an item is created and message is sent out to the user that an item is created.Workflow 22) starts with a condition, where if the document in the root of the library is updated and sends an email that a document is updated.since these are two workflows acting on the same library, is this the reason why Nintex is sending two emails? please help!!Thanks,

REPEATING SECTION INFO:Repeating Section has three (3) label and three(3) input text controls with 'Hide' Rules.  The 'Hide' Rules are dependent on the value selected from another dropdown/CHOICE control.EXAMPLE:The “AcntAssignment” dropdown/CHOICE control has a selection of four (4) options:  K, F, A P:  WHEN “K” is selected, then nothing is required, and all of the below fields should be Hidden!!Otherwise, there is basically two rules for each of the three controls:A Hide Control:  AcntAssignment !=='F'A Validate Control:  AcntAssignment == 'F' && isNullOrEmpty({Control:Self}) Message:  Internal Number Entry RequiredA Hide Control:  AcntAssignment !== 'A' A Validate Control:  AcntAssignment == 'A' && isNullOrEmpty{Control:Self})Message:  Asset Number Entry RequiredA Hide Control:  AcntAssignment !== 'P'A Validate Control:  AcntAssignment == 'P' && isNullOrEmpty({Control:Self})Message:  Project Number Entry RequiredONE ITEM OUTCOME:Repeating Section looks and o

Hi,I have a list lookup control (Checkbox-Multiple Selection) in my Nintex Form. With the aid of helpful Nintex Community threads, I added two buttons with JavaScript for the purpose of selecting and clearing all choices on form load. These buttons do what they're supposed to but the selected choices are not set to the connected fields unless I select/unselect some of them manually!I was wondering if anyone could help me finding the cause of this? In case it matters, here are the js codes I used for the buttons:Select all:NWF$('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', true);‍Clear all:NWF$('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', this.checked);‍Thanks in advance.

Hi all,I'm having a few issues using 3 cascading dropdownsI'm currently working on a project where people fill out a form for an objective that they want to complete and it would be great if i could use dropdowns to link objectives between eachother.First dropdown would be the type of objective to link to (Company wide, team, or personal)Second would show departments filtered by first dropdown Third would show the objective filtered by the first and second dropdowns.I've had a look at Three-Tier Cascading Drop Downs: Do Go Chasing Waterfalls!  and it seems to work great when all list items are static and can be created at the beginning. Keeping the first and second dropdowns static is easy, however all objectives will be unique so i won't be able to create a list beforehand.Ideally I'd be able to set up a workflow that can populate a list similar to the link above with each unique objective, but I haven't been able to populate the lookup columns using workflow. This is the error messag

Hello there,I need to develop a form in 2016 where the form consists of many pages. I'd like the form to lead the users to completion from one section to another. So once a section is completed, click "next" to go to the following page...etcThe form also contains a lot of reading areas, so some good long paragraphs to read, so it would be best to have it on a page by its own. I've implemented before some forms that use the tab feature, but the tab feature won't work for this one.Any ideas how can I do that?

In my computer I can see the form perfect - explorer 11.0.70 and so is it in chrome;In other - just for part of the forms, the display mode is not visible and other are working well.When checking their permissions for the list and for the items specific - they have the same permissions as I have.In the console, there is error: "unexpected ;", just in the forms that are not visible in specific computer (the error is not exist on other computer for the same form).What could be the problem?

HelloI am using a Query action to lookup at the Project List :- ProjectManager  (is set to People or Group)- FreightChargeValue (is set to Single Line text because numbers or names are stored in it)Based on the above, it should pull up some info and store them in variables.However, the Query fails at that point where it tries to compare ... Furthermore, when running in the CALM query as a test and manually type in my Surname, Name then the query is able to lookup at the Project List and pull up the relevant information associated to the column name ProjectManager.Now, question is; why does it not work with the FreightChargeValue ?Is it because its attribute is set to SingleLine as Text and not as a People or Group ?How would I fix this in the workflow then?I also tried using SET VARIABLE action to say set ProjectManager as FreightChargeValue but no help

Hi!  Hoping you can help!Desired Delivery Date (date field)Escalation (checkbox)I am looking to make the Escalation field hidden until 2 days prior to the Desired Delivery Date.  Any help would be appreciated!

I need to hide the first radio button in a series of controls by the radio button's value. I could do it by javascript as well, if it is simpler, but I am not a developer.The attached images show:The HTML of the first form control which contains the radio button to be hidden.The design view of the four sections that need the first radio button (Pending) to be hidden.The "Pending" option had to be added to the choice column because for some reason, my Nintex workflow suddenly stopped allowing me to compare empty columns. Adding this value allowed me to compare columns with the value "Pending" in them instead of a null value and everything worked fine after that. However, the customer doesn't want to see "Pending" in the available choices, so I need to hide it.

All,Where can I learn about javascript  and then how and where it all fits into my nintex forms?I'm a total beginner with javascript. I've got some code - which hopefully will do a job for me, but don't know where it's meant to go, is it complete, how it is meant to run, how it could be expanded.I notice many forum posts refer to javascript, yet it's as if you're already meant to know how it works, and what goes where.ThanksAndrew

Hello!I have a library where major and minor versioning enabled. The library has a few approval workflows , when someone approves the task it goes to the next flexi task. When each person approves the task, there is a check in action configured to save as minor version.When the final approver approves the task, the document gets saved as a major version using the check in action.After the final approver I have another workflow that is triggered and it checks the date field to see if the approver left it empty or if a date was picked by the approver. If the date was left empty then I  have a calculate date that adds 6 months to that field.The issue that I am running into is, when the date is set I use the check in action with no version change. This gives me a generic error "the workflow failed ".I checked the logs and found the following error, " you can not checkin and overwrite a published file. "Is anyone running into this issue?

Hi,We have a farm that has Nintex workflows enterprise version and we are planning to set up Nintex standard in another farm. My question is can I migrate workflows that were designed in the enterprise edition to Standard edition. I will make sure only the actions supported by the standard edition are being moved (as there are some differences in some features between enterprise and standard).

I'm now trying to do basically what was accomplished in this thread below. My problem is I have over 80 choices in the drop down lookup control. I'm trying to find a way to do this without having a calculated value for each and every choice. The only thing I can think of is to parse the XML of the repeater in the workflow and fill the information on the form afterwards. Ideally, I could have it calculated on the form though. Anyone have any ideas?

HI all, Before I go hands on just looking for some advice. Does the SQL Server Service support database level encryption.If I have a encrypted database or encrypted column in a database does using the SQL Server Service service type to expose this table support this. I was thinking maybe creating a custom service object which will take care of calling the encrypted the databse and readig and writing data and then exposing the decrypted data via the servce object and build a smartobject on top of that service object. Is there a better/quicker solution than this? Thnaks in advance

Hello,I am trying to use the "Copy Item" in a Nintex workflow. The workflow is supposed to copy a document from one library to another library and if the document has the same name overwrite the existing item as a new version. Even though the "Overwrite an existing item" check box is checked it does not overwrite the document. Instead I have 2 documents in a library with the same name. Which I find odd because SharePoint will not create two documents with the same name when you manually upload a document to a library, though at times I wish it would but in this case I do not. I am using SharePoint 2016.Thanks in advanced.
