Is there anyway to edit the default check-in file form on a SP2013 library with Nintex forms to make the comments box be required? And if so how can you get the actual url of the check in form? If this is not possible does anyone have any simple solutions for this? There is no workflow currently. 

Has anyone ever received an error message stating, Failed to start workflow. Failed to update database "NintexWorkflowDB_02" because the database is read-only?   This is the first time I've seen that in my workflow. Thank you!

Hi,   I have a form where when a new request is entered the Save & Submit and Cancel Buttons should be highlight. Once it is done a mail is triggered to the requester with the Link to the Form and the Record ID. If the requester wishes to edit or update he can click on the Link and can do that. Here comes the catch, now when this form is opened again a field New Record ID has the record number. At this point the Save and Submit button should be disabled or hidden and an Update Button should be visible in place of it.   Below is the image of the form and the Rule that i have set. I am making a mistake in the selection of the Function in the rule. Kindly assist me on it  

I have a request data task in nintex workflow 2007 assigned to a sharepoint group. Any one in this group can complete the task. How do I get the user id of the person who actually completed it. When I use Last Task Respondent, I get the group name instead of the user who completed the task. ThanksJP Martel

Hi,   I have a SharePoint list form using Nintex form. What I am trying to achieve is that the form has a participant field and it should default to current logged in user and should be not editable by user. The form displays the default value of the current logged in user when I set the default value to the current user from the common properties. However, when I save the form, the default value doesn't save. Is this a known bug? Also, how can I invalidate the form if same user is creating another form? I want to restrict one entry per user. Is there a way to validate this on the form?  

Hi all,   What I am trying to achieve is to set a variable "Weekday to simulate" with the weekday (1-7) of a date. As Nintex Workflow is unable to do it, I want mitigate this with a Sharepoint list called "Helper Retrieve Wordkday" (sorry for the typo... :-))   So what the workflow does: Create an entry into this helper list with the date. A formula then populates the calculated column called weekday.     Then, I query the helper list. But somehow the variable I chose to be filled with the weekday does not get saved (tried both Integer or String), it keeps empty (or the default value).    If I hit "Run" in Nintex Workflow however, the thing seems to work. Any idea?    

After completing the create item in another site action  - when going back in some fields clear but to default.  When copying this action to another path and opening the new action - some fields are cleared/not copied over.   Anyone know why? Is there a limit to how many fields can be listed in the action?    

Hi,   I have a people picker field set to auto-populate using current user common properties from Nintex. I would like people not to edit this value. I tried setting the control mode to display but the value does not save back to list once saved.   How can we achieve this? I am using SharePoint 2019 on-prem and Nintex for SP 2019.  

We are evaluating the migration path for On-Premise Nintex workflow plugin with SharePoint 2016 to Nintex Workflow for Cloud (SaaS platform, without SharePoint) offering. Please let us know if anyone has done such migration earlier?    Do we have migration path (workflow etc) defined and what are the issues which we should be aware before we can propose this migration path?

We just upgraded our Nintex forms 2013 version from 2.11.3.10 to 2.11.8.0 I noticed in one of the forms the formatDate formula below is showing NaN for the day (MM/dd/yyyy) and it is fine for the hours/minutes.  This is only happenning in chrome. IE and edge seem to be fine.  I tried everything, removed the formula, displaying just the current date without any function, it didn't work. i tried using the fn-formatDate... all different possibilities, just seems like chrome doesn't like "current date" at all.     In chrome:      This is from IE (same exact formula):           

I am looking to create a simple workflow that can be triggered by a checkbox on a list item. I want the workflow to duplicate the list item into the same list it was created in with a different ID #. I have tried to configure the duplicate item action but I'm not 100% sure how to fill it out and what other actions need to be in the workflow as well.    Any help is appreciated! Thank you! 

I have SharePoint list with all the information required for approval.  The workflow is a sequence of flexi tasks to get approval from different departments.  I want the flexi task to look like the actual list (form was created using infoPath) with all the information to approve it.  When i Edit the task form using infoPath, i don't see any information related to the list item.  How can i get the List data so i can add it to the Flexi task?  Your help is greatly appreciated!

I have a requirement to assign a task to two groups of users: reviewers and approvers. Both groups have only one outcome (complete) but I want the workflow to advance when anyone from the approvers group completes their task regardless of how many reviewers have completed their task. I have tried putting separate flexi tasks in parallel, but that will not advance correctly.    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I have a list of items sorted by month where employees select a yes/no answer in one of the columns. I would like to query the list for those employees who selected "No" & capture the names in a notification email to managers. The workflow is configured with a Query List, For Each, Collection Operation, Set Variable & Send Notification...which works, but only puts the first Employee/List Item with "No" in the Notification.   Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Removing characters: We have barcode scanners that are primarily used for one specific purpose - and the default value on the scanner is programmed to insert an """ before and after reading an Employee ID (EID) from a badge, so the EID displays like this: "00000"" when it's scanned into a field.   But, we also use the same barcode readers for another purpose -- that doesn't require the input of an """. When we used infopath, for the forms that don't require the use of the """ --  I had a rule "if EID contains ""

I am attempting to calculate a date in my workflow based off the results of a calculated column in my list. I have a script that takes the choice from my "Duration of Project" field (15, 30, 60, or 90 days) and then creates a date that reflects each duration. I use "Calculate Date" set the value to "Expiration Date" and subtracted 10 days. I set this to a variable, varReminderDate. My end goal is to send a reminder email 10 days prior to that expiration date. However, the calculate date action fails. I receive this error:  Error calculating date. The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime.Parameter name: value Is it even possible to do what I am attempting? I have tried this as a site workflow but my log shows the dates return as 1/1/000112:00:00 AM and 1/1/1900 12:00 AM. It then pauses until 1/1/0001 and sends.

Hi All,  looking for some advice on auto completing a field in each row of a repeating section based on another field.    Easiest way to describe the layout is i have a repeating section with 3 single line text controls per row. The xml for the repeating section is saved to a multiline field in the list (but this is irrelevant for this bit) so if we use table terminology, column one is a reference number (starting with SOR/POR/SER), Column 2 is the one i would like to auto complete and column 3 is a free text field for users to enter any relevant information. The idea would be that if the users enters a code such as SER00001 into column 1 of a row to auto complete Column 2 to say Service as an example.    I could do this in the workflow by updating the XML manually but i would like the user to be able to see what its been set to before they submit the form (and its a pain to chop up the XML).    My initial thought was to look at javascript to do this but i'm a complete noob when it com

Morning   I have a calculated filed on a Nintex 2013 On Prem form. I want a message to appear if the number is equal to or exceeds 125. Can anyone suggest the best formula to use in a rule or the best way to achieve this?Thanks in advance 

Hello! I had a question regarding SharePoint calculated field lookups: 1. I'm trying to perform a lookup from my form to another list within the same collection, but it's failing to return results. It's worth noting that the list I'm attempting to look against has exceeded the view threshold. Would this impact the result (returning #Value!). It's a simple lookup and has been written correctly as I tested against other lists. 2. Is there any special handling that needs done for special field characters? Example: "#", "@", "$", etc. Thank you!!

Is there a hard limitation for the amount of rules you can have on a form? I'm pushing passed 40 right now, but I need at least 20 more.     Saving or trying to preview results in an error:   Thank you.

Hello!  I'm trying to do something simple ...or at least I thought it was.  Requirement:  For each Task (each person who needs to complete the task) Get Assignee to, Outcome and Comment and Place it in a Field   1. Flexi Task sends approval tasks - In the Flexi Task I added a Collection_TaskID Variable this holds the Tasks ID's  2. For Each - I added a for each so it would collected the information needed. In for each Collection_TasksID and added a new Variable List_TasksID 3. Inside for each - Add a Query List - Filter ID equals List_TasksID and then I put Assignee, Outcome and Comments in Variables 4. String a String with the information needed 5. Update the Comment History This works for the most part But I only get the latest information. So if my Collection_TaskID says 123; 124 I'm only getting information for item 124 not 123    Any ideas!?

Hi.   I have a List on a parent site and i want to show that list on a subsite. I dont want to just copy it, but actually a live-image on that list. If i change the data on the parent site, the change should be visible on the subsite. Is there a possible way to do that? If theres no webpart for it, maybe i can build a workflow?   Thanks for your help.
