I am using the lookup runtime function to do a lookup to a list with a text column containing numbers with leading zeroes. e.g. 00234The runtime lookup function returns "234", missing the leading zeros.The returned data type is set to return a string.Why is it coming back as a number rather than text? It seems to be assuming that because it only has numbers in the text, that it is a number.Is there some way to force it to bring it back as text rather than numbers?

Longest Title Award? This was an odd one I found and wanted to see if anyone has experienced it, didn't find anything in searches and also submitted to Nintex in case its a bug. So far I can reproduce the issue with a new list. When creating a custom classic form in Nintex if I add a list view to a picture library the edit ribbon in SharePoint on New/Display/Edit forms is disabled or greyed out.To ReproduceCreate a new custom list, just the Title field is adequate.Create a new Photo Library.Customize the form and select classic for the new custom list.Add a list view control to the form, chose the photo library list, and any view, I did Thumbnails view.Publish the form.Open your new custom list and click on New Item, the edit ribbon for me is greyed out.Question1. Can anyone else reproduce this or is it unique to our environment?Thank you.

I have a state machine workflow for electronic approval.  It has 3 levels of approval (Author, Management, and Quality Assurance) Each level of approval has a Flexi Task. The tasks are assigned to an "Author, Management, and Quality Assurance" People Picker column in my document library. My workflow operates the way I want it to. But my problem is that the Management flexi task could have 1 or 20 approvers. It will always vary. I am attracted to the flexi task so I do not need to have 20 more columns in my list.When I have multiple approvers in the management task, I want the task to go to the "Approved" branch of the flexi task if everyone approves. But if at any time anyone rejects the task, I want it to go to the Reject branch. But this is not happening. I tried all behaviors. But they do not work. If someone rejects it, They flexi task will send out a redundant email to ALL approvers again. I do not want them to get another email if they already made their vote.

FYI : Sharepoint 2010 foundation / Nintex workflow 2010I got a tons of error email and try to fix it with re-publish each workflow on each list but publish error <see an attachment image>.all workflow history log show status : failed on start and cancelled by system account.I try to fix everything 1. reset-IIS2. restart service on app/db serverbut still error. please help

HiI have a State machine action which had a Rework branch.  This rework branch can run 3 times only.  I have tried to create a variable that sets the value at 0 and then adds 1 to it, each time the branch runs.  However, it is not working and I have searched to find answers to this but have not been able to find anything.Thank you for your help.

I have an issue with assigning users a Request Data Task and the assigned users being able to complete the tasks. Scenario: I have a column in the list, let's call this "Task Owners", which is a People field with "Allow Multiple Selections" enabled.  I also have a workflow which requests data from the "Task Owners".In the business case, I need to be able to request data from the "Task Owners", with any of them being able to respond.  But, only need the first to respond.  The issue:None of the "Task Owners" are able to provide any data from the Request Data action on the Nintex Workflow.  When I checked the task, it is saying that there is no-one assigned (field is blank).  How might I resolve this?__________________________________Edit: Adding issue recreation steps.Issue Recreation Steps: Create Custom List Add New Column: Person or Group field with Allow Multiple Sections Option enabled Add 3 or more accounts to the field. Create New Nintex Workflow Add "Request Data" action. Configu

I have a workflow that pulls text from a multi-line append text field.  I have everything working, except if a user copies and pastes data from another application into the field on the form.  When that happens, span class and font tags are embedded into the comment string.I am looking for a solution, using Regular Expression, to remove the span and font tags, but leave the text within those tags, so I have a complete comment.Example:needs feedback if <span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><font color="#000000">maintenance, support and service fees</font></span> are involved and...I need to remove the everything in Red font, so the out looks like:needs feedback if maintenance, support and service fees are involved and...Thank you!

Hello Again!So I have a SharePoint list with a Nintex Workflow.  In one of those columns is data from a multiple checkbox option for branches.  Is there a way to parse that data and create a new column in said list that shows the branches so when it is exported to Excel it can be sorted by the branch even when it might have more than one branch?Thanks,Carrie.

In reply on another Nintex Live/External Forms related question the comment was made that Live/External Forms are kept approxametely 5 days on the Live/External Forms server in the Nintex cloud. Can someone from Nintex provide the exact lifetime of a submitted Live/External Form on their servers.Following a SharePoint upgrade (SP2013 to SP2016, including the Nintex 2013 to nintex 2016) laast weekend we have some difficulties receiving Nintex External/Live Forms. Which we are still investigating. It would be good to know whether or not we need to inform our external contacts using the Live/External Forms to resubmit any forms sent this week.

I'm working on a fairly big application with many site collections. Each site collection has its own instance of workflows, which are being provisioned to it from the specified library. Upon modifying workflows, in order for them to appear in newly created site collections, I just need to upload them to this library in a place of the old ones, but how can I reprovision them to already existing site collections? I've planned to do it through PowerShell, I got a list of existing site collections with those workflows, but cannot find any useful commands that I could use to upload nintex workflow / .UDA file and publish it.

I'm trying to use the "Create item in another site" action.  I select the site from the list just fine, but the List field doesn't populate and remains disabled.I tried the option to manually enter the URL and clicked the refresh lists button but it said: Cannot access site.Does anyone have suggestions as to what direction I need to head in to troubleshoot this issue?

I'm working on SharePoint 2013 platform where there are several sites and site collections in our farm.  Many departments are cross-functional and use the same data.  Instead of duplicating the process, we would like to copy a few fields that are currently captured in an existing SharePoint list which is located in a different site collection and copy it to our site.  How would this be created?

I took the list template backup of Sharepoint list the form is created using Infopath and restored the list template backup in test environment but the nintex workflow are not showing. But for the other SharePoint list the Nintex workflow is showing.> I tried disabling and enabling Nintex feature from site collection feature but still no luck.Any assistance will help us.Thanks in Advance.
