What is the difference between these 2 forms:1. Within a Nintex Workflow under Workflow Settings, Edit Start Form > Edit with Nintex Forms2. Within a List, Nintex Forms > Customize the Item FormWhen I select New for the list, the form created in #2 above is displayed.  How/when is the form in #1 displayed?Thank you.

 I have a very simple workflow which sends out an email when an item is modified.  I have a Conditional Start setup to run when items are modified.  Workflow ran once, but will not run again.  Tried on multiple different items.  Condition is looking at a Choice field where options are 'yes' or 'no'.This is currently the only workflow on this list that is enabled to run.  Any ideas what could be causing this to not initiate?  I did remove the conditional start and had it set to run when item is modified, and that worked.  Put the condition back in and will not auto-initiate anymore when items are modified to meet the condition.Thank you.

So I am trying responsive form, is it possible to get the number of lines of multitext through this control, since it is not possible to write javascript in the new form.

I have a "Run If" workflow that I believe is generating duplicate notifications from a form that multiple people need to touch and save.How would you create the workflow to run initially when the form is created and then run again only if/when those specific choice fields are modified?

Hi People,I am creating a Nintex form with a repeating section that is stored as a XML. A workflow is started after I create the element, and there I use some regular expressions to extract the text from the XML (because the query XML element is not available here).It has been working fine since we started to add words with accent in the repeating section.I see that some words have accents like Técnico, Policía, Médico, etc. Some other last names from my region use this accents and I cannot ask a user to don't write his name correctly. The fact is that if I send a mail to myself with the repeating section field, or check it in the list, what I get instead of an accented word is its numeric character reference, for example:á = áé = éAnd so on, That text is making my Regular Expression Workflow actions crash repeatedly, because I don't want to allow characters like #, & or ; in the fields I am processing.I already changed my sharepoint site regional settings but it

I recently uninstalled Nintex according to the uninstallation guide (available at https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1017). However, we end up with an error that the content database which contains the Central Administration web application, is missing several Nintex Workflow and Nintex Form features.Before uninstallation I checked that there were no site collections using Nintex (and they were located in different content databases anyway). I have deactivated Nintex Forms and Nintex Workflow according to the uninstallation guide. I suspect I have to reinstall Nintex and try the uninstallation procedure again, but I would rather do it knowing that this time I have an approach that works and does not result in any errors.Any advice? Perhaps additions to the uninstallation guide?I have seen https://community.nintex.com/thread/11331, but there should not be any features left active unless the uninstall guide misses a step. Furthermore, I do not like to use third-party tools I do not kn

Is there a way to autocomplete a text field without referring to a list. Similar to other forms online? Extracting the info from memory rather than a list?

Hello,I have a Nintex Form, and I need to extract a portion of a text? The format of the text is as follows; "12345;#4 Information Technology"How do I extract the ";#4 Information Technology" out of the text above?

Hi folks,SP2013 on prem.I have a workflow that has few pauses along  the way. it has been working fine, but today I'm noticing that the at one specif pause action which is supposed to be pausing for 5 minutes, it has been staying there for 3 days and still cannot resume.The workflow didn't error or give the infamous "failed to run" or anything like that. The logs says it is just simply pausing. The internal status seem fine too. we don't have access to run powershell commands or do any fancy things on the server. My workflow is a state machine and has a switch start at the beginning. If I start the workflow again, it will start from where it is hanging now. My questions:1. What would be the reason that a 5 minute pause be sitting there for days? 2. I didn't terminate the old old workflow that is hanging in there and was able to start a new one, the reason is I don't want to loose my previous tasks on the previous states. Is there a possibility that the old one will resume and assign ta

In one of the workflows we are using we send emails out to a number of users. This could be anywhere from a single user up to a handful or more. Currently we query a group in a specific OU and return a list of names. Those names are popped into the TO line of an email and sent out. This works OK until recently a user was added that had the same first and last name of another user and despite them being in 2 separate OUs both users were emailed instead of one. So it became clear that a more precise way of sending emails needed to be done. AS the Administrator I'm not as familiar with Nintex actions as the developers but they are out of office for a few days and this is something of a security issue.Can a collection be passed into the QUERY LDAP action such that the query becomes(&(objectClass=user)(CN={workflowvariable:user_name}))or is there a query that can accept a delimited string of users to pull back a string of email addresses? I've not been able to find this capability in th

Hi People, have anyone tried to check the number of attachments in a Nintex Form? I'm trying to use Javascript validation, using custom function found here at the forum(NWF.FormFiller.Attachments.GetAttachedFilesCount(NWF.FormFiller.Functions.GetFillerDivObjectForControl(NWF$("#"+NWF$("." + attCtrlClassName + " .nf-attachmentsRow")[0].id)).data('controlid'))) <1 To make it return true or false if no attachment is added.added the custom class both to custom CSS and to the formatting CSS class of the attachment control. I am able to check the javascript function using the google chrome consoleand the rule seems to be fineHowever after I submit the form, no error message is displayed and the forms submits perfectly. I've tried changing the function several times and validating using nintex runtime functions, basically everything, nothing seems to work.In the console it is displayed the error messageTwice, it still submits the form and no validation is done.Similar happens with the atta

Hi there,I am trying to figure out this very frustrating problem I have a choice list with 15 people in it that runs vertically on my form. Beside that, I have created a column of 15 single line text areas. The purpose of the form is to track employee briefings. When an employee is briefed, a check mark is placed beside the name (choice list), then the person who gave the briefing has to record their initials in the single line text area.It all works great in preview mode, but when I publish it, the text areas don't align with the choices, they actually continue farther down the page. It appears like the text area has a minimum height that is greater than the width between the choices. I've played with the CSS of each group, adjusting margins and paddings, but to no avail.Does anyone have an idea how I can accomplish this?Thanks!

I know this can be done in document approval and have the Assign flexi task, but it is not applicable to my project as there will be no approval needed on my project. I tried to (check) the Start WF when items are modified, it can send email to the new Owner. Is there any way aside from the checking the items are modified? If I continue to use this, everytime the list item is being modified there will be notification email. I want to limit the sending of emails, especially if just the initial notification.Any help is much appreciated.Thank you so much.

Hi,We to extract comments from the Lazy approval response emails.Any pointers?

Hi all,I have one SharePoint group (users in the group count is 8) who will be approving the task using nintex workflow but, the same task needs to be approved second times by the same group but not by the user who approved in the first stage.  How to handle this?Thank you     

Hi all,I have a scenario, where i need to send email depending on condition through flex task because we are using default form for approval and rejection process.        Condition: 1. When workflow triggers for the first time on new document upload i need to send email to all the users in the SharePoint group with the link for approval and rejection form in email body which can be accommodated. But ones the document approved by the SharePoint group member same document will be approved again by same SharePoint group member excluding the approver who approved the document first time. To approve the document for the second time we will be sending the email notification with a link in the email body for approval and rejection form. To send the email for the second time i need to remove the approver who approved the document in the first time.

Hello folks,I'm kinda new in nintex workflow and forms, and I couldn't find a way to put some links of existing documents in a workflow form. the scenario is as bellow:1- a user start a list workflow by filling a nintex form and attaching some related docs (including a draft.docx file). (Since this step, no one else but editor should not have modify access to the .docX file)2- workflow will generate a code (calculated column) and create a folder with that name in a document library.3- workflow copies all the user attached documents into the created folder in step 2. (it's working until this step)4- (issue) workflow assign a flexi task to the editor to review documents as well as the draft.docx file. in step 4 , I have no idea how to attach the previously uploaded documents to the workflow form!any idea ?regards , and thanks for helping me.. I really appreciate it.

I have a repeating section on my form.   It is tied to a multi line  plain text field on my list called Accounts. I have a workflow with a task form. The task form also has a repeating section that is tied to a workflow variable that is multi line text variable called txtAccounts. The workflow sets the Accounts field to the value entered on the task form (txtAccounts) using the Update action. The value indeed gets set because it shows up when I place the Accounts field in a view. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><e4a2d391-22c2-4337-861c-711f0017e159 type="System.String">Consumer</e4a2d391-22c2-4337-861c-711f0017e159><cf50b33d-6a5f-49a1-88bf-32b4c97ab7aa type="System.String">12345</cf50b33d-6a5f-49a1-88bf-32b4c97ab7aa><_x0034_7ec9475-28f4-43f4-8779-f231c84afca2 type="System.String">6789</_x0034_7ec9475-28f4-43f4-8779-f231c84afca2></Item></Items></RepeaterData> B

Greetings.I have a requirement for changing AD account passwords in a K2 workflow.Is it achievable using the Active Directory Event? Just guessing, if that event can be used, would be using the "Update a User" option the correct way?Thanks in advance.

Issue: Receiving the subject error against the "Update Multiple Items" action in a simple workflow, but no evident way to determine specific issue with the action.Context: List A in Site A is initiated by a Boolean field change in state, and when initiated the workflow's "Update Multiple Items" action is set to filter Site B's List B with the item title ("Accomplishment") field which is the same in both lists, and then to update the List B item's "Description" field with List A item's "Description" value.  I've also tried changing from a Value assignment to a List Lookup on current item, but the same subject error is produced.The Nintex Workflow version is 3.1.10.0.If anyone has ideas about what might be causing the issue, and/or how to capture more granular details about the error, I'd appreciate it!

I have a list called Project Dashboard in a top level site collection and each list item is a project.  I run a manual workflow from the Project Dashboard that provisions a sub-site for each list item and writes the sub-site URL back to the project list item.  This all works well.What I want to do is be able to pull fields from an item in the project dashboard into the correct sub-site.  The sub-site URL is not fixed as it is different for each sub-site.  The sub-site URL is stored in a column called Site Link.I have an empty Project Dashboard list in each sub-site with identical columns to the parent.  There are a few fields I want to pull across to the sub-site from the parent.I am unable to use the Create Item In Another Site as I can't select the site when creating the workflow as I have no idea what it will  be.  If I select Enter URL, my only option is to enter a variable or an item property e.g. Site Link (html column which contains my URL to the sub-site) but this does not work

Good Day,I have seen many users on the Community asking about copying documents from a Library to a list item and found many helpful answers but still cannot get this action to work. I have a custom solution in my SharePoint environment which receives a mail in a Library and then extracts xml data which is then used to 1. create a list item and 2. save all attachments to a designated document library, from here we have a workflow which kicks off for approval. what I need to do now is copy the documents from the designated document library and attach them to the list item, for this I am using the Call Web Service action with AddAttachment method in a separate Workflow that runs on the document library. the problem is that I keep getting an error:Workflow Status Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: <soap:Fault xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Exception of type 'Microsoft.Shar

I have a repeating section that is bound to a list column (multi line, plain text). I parse the XML at runtime and am able to use the repeating section values in a workflow.What I'm wanting to do is pick up the value of one drop down list in the repeating section at runtime. If the user selects "remove from service" from the drop down list, I want to display a panel that shows the various fields related to this action. Is there a way to get at this input at runtime? I know I could parse the XML for this in a workflow, but I want to get the user to supply the information at runtime, not after the fact in a workflow.
