Using a VS 2008 K2 Project to create a really simple approval process.1 activity with a sharepoint client event.2 activities, each with an E-mail event. (1 for approved and 1 for declined).I specify the process originator's manager for the destination users of the sharepoint client event. I drill down and select  Context Browser > Workflow Context Browser > Originator > Manager which leaves the placeholder ProcessOriginatorManager in the destination set.This doesn't work. I end up with this error in the K2 service log (console) when I start the process from SharePoint:25170 Executed Proc:Process1(48), Item:Manager Approval Activity.DestRule, Status:Error My first guess was to check Active Directory and make sure a manager was specified for the process originator (which it was).My second guess was to check MOSS user profiles to see if the manager - employee info. was captured by the SSP (which it was).So this leaves K2 Blackpearl as the issue. Why won't the process work when yo
Hi,I have a site workflow called "Create Moving Requests ". I edited it and when I tried to open it in Workflow Designer the following day I got this error:Error retrieving config xml for activity 'Update Item' using adapter type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.Adapters.SPUpdateItemWithKeyAdapter, Nintex.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Cutlure=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12I can't do anything with the Workflow besides closing it. I tried exporting it through NWAdmin and I get the same error:Error saving workflow export file: Server was unable to process request. ---> Error retrieving config xml for activity 'Update item' using adapter type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.Adapters.SPUpdateItemWithKeyAdapter, Nintex.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.By the way the workflow works and runs without errors but I can't edit it.Nintex Workflow Version:Â Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.1.6.0) Any ideas
A patch was applied this week that caused all workflows to stop running. We have a site workflow that runs on a schedule that failed. The stored procedure rptErroredWorkflows is showing that it is in error. Going to the Site Workflow page it shows that it 'Failed on Start'. The detail page shows that it was cancelled just after failing (same time stamp).So I believe what happened was the cancel failed, since the time stamp was prior to my implementing the fix for this problem. How can I go about getting this workflow into the correct status?
For a project I have included on a Nintex Form an option to select from other items in the list and have both metadata as well as other form data copied into the current new item. All is working well, except for a list lookup in a repeating section. It does select the proper value (seemingly based on the lookup item's list item ID (currFieldValue in snippet below), but when saving the validation rule kicks and says it needs a value selected.$currRow.find("." + currFieldLabel + " select.nf-client-control").val(currFieldValue);Considering the fact that outside a repeating section one also has to set the Selected attribute, I would guess this is also required within the repeating section. Whatever I try, it does not seem I've found the proper command setup.NB: I'm copying from another item using a (JS) query which only returns a list lookup ID value (and thus not also the display value). Using the following snippet did not work for me to set the selected value of my list lookup in the rep
I'm trying to use this button click to store the selections and the text entered in another field and clear out these selections immediately after.

Hello Nintex Community,we installed the mentioned Updates and the Workflows stopped working, they start and immediately run into an Error.It's not possible to edit specific Actions, like Set Field Value, and existing Workflows can't be published.Nintex Support mentioned the following workaround:A workaround is to add the below line to the <targetFx version="v4.0"> node under the <authorizedTypes> node of the web.config file <authorizedType Assembly="System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" Namespace="System.CodeDom" TypeName="*" Authorized="True"/>But that seems not to be working, after the Updates are installed, the Problem remains.Any suggestions what could be wrong?Environment:Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - Service Pack 2SharePoint 2010 - 14.0.7175.5000Nintex Workflow 2010 - 2.3.14.0Kind Regards, Milan

I schedule the same WF 3 times a night with a List Limit of 100 on a Query List. There are 275 items in my list, thus the 3 iterations will loop thru 100, 100, and then 75 respectively for each iteration.All 3 iterations of the WF run the desired tasks which is adding new records to the list, however every night we do get an "Error Status" under "My Running Workflows" for 2 of the iterations. Again though all the desired tasks within the WF ran for all 3 iterations.Interestingly the last iteration (the one under 100) never gets an error. Do I get an error because I have set a list limit of 100 and my list is > 100 ? How do I cancel the error ?

Cannot find site lookup info for request Uri http://server.ip/.I'm getting this error on every workflow this morning in the logs. In the WF History it just says failed to start or failed to run. Last night the server was rebooted, a few updates were applied.The sites all work fine. Everyone can submit list content and upload documents and whatnot. The only thing happening is every single workflow is failing. Whether it be new workflows, or ones that were in progress. What can I check on to look into this?

Does anybody have any suggestion on solution?

Hi everyone,I am trying to set up a workflow that sets a look up field value equal to another field in the same list. Users have been using this list and entering information into a field that SHOULD have been created as a look up but wasn't. I need to start using a look up field now and update it to match all the information that users have already entered. I have tried updating the item or setting a field value and I have received the "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type."Â error every time. Any help is greatly appreciated!
