I'm trying to look up fields from a list in a different site collection and I'm using the query list action detailed below. When the wf runs I get an error message:"Failed to query list data. Cannot find a field with internal name 'Project Manager' on list."I've looked at the list settings, and when I "Edit Column" for the fields that I want to pull I get the exact string for the name from the querystring and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help with this?

We have a workflow (SP 2013 / Nintex Workflow 2013) where we create a new user within our AD and then add this user to a security group (GroupA).In the background (not a part of this workflow) the user is added to another security group (GroupB) which in turn is also the user's primary group now. When trying to remove this second group (GroupB) we get an error message since it is the primary one.Is there a way within the workflow to specify a new primary group (GroupA) for this user?Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to use the "Create appointment" workflow action with the credentials from a service account that has full admin permissions in Exchange 2013, but I still get the following error when my workflow runs:Error occurance:True===========Error text:Task item failed with response code ErrorFolderNotFoundDoes anybody know the specific permissions I need to give my service account in Exchange in order for it to be able to create appointments on any user's calendar?

SharePoint 2016 - On premWe have just patched our SP2016 into the most recent release which includes the new feature of having Attachments added into repeating section.The feature works well when submitting the form right on SharePoint. Our forms will have to be publicly accessible. When testing from a Nintex live (external) form, the link to add a new attachment in the repeating section is there but when I click on it, nothing happens!! I tried from IE and Chrome. Does the new feature include the Public/external forms as well or is it just me (my computer) that needs to be looked at and fixed?!? I really hope it is just me, otherwise this might put our whole project at risk!!!Support‌ Ask Support‌

Hi guys, I'm doing a reminder workflow. I need to count the values in my DaysLeft column. I queried the list column DaysLeft and stored it in a variable which is HowManyDaysLeft. I want the workflow to send an email if the number in the DaysLeft column is from 3 to 0.  I managed to configure the Run if, if its equals a certain number it will send. But I seem to have trouble sending numbers from a range. I tried using OR but it still doesn't send the email even tho there are 3 and -2 on that column.  Please take a look at my configuration thank you. This is a site workflow btw.My Query ConfigurationMy execute query list runs properlyMy Run if configuration

I know you can clean up running workflow instances for deleted items/lists using the SyncTerminatedWorkflows. But I have an issue with another category of running instances....I'm using the following query to give me running instances:select siteid, webid, listid,itemid,workflowid,workflowinstanceidfrom dbo.workflowinstanceviewwhere state = 2 and convert(varchar(19),lastactiondate,120) <= @lastactivitydateutcUsing this query, I found a lot of running instances for WEBS which don't exist anymore.How do you terminate those?Seems unlikely to me that you can use SyncTerminatedWorkflows for that since I only have a WebID. I don't even have the URL of the web. Is there a way to clean up these instances. I have several thousands of them.

I am trying to do the following:1. When a user marks a document in our Document library as needing updates, I want the workflow to create a new Document Request saying as much in our Assignments list. 2. However, the Create Item action gives me the above validating configuration error when I try.I've used the same action to create an item on a simpler list - Announcements and encounter no such error.But when I try to create a new Doc Request, this error shows up and I can't even save the workflow and reopen it, let alone run it.  Additionally, in the Configuration fields that appear, two Description fields are listed even though the Assignments list only asks for one.  (Note: Doc Requests require a lot of metadata, which is why I want to automate the process for Updates.)Any ideas on what's causing the issue?  I've gone Googling but cannot find a solution that applies.Here are the fields that appear when you open the Create Item action:See how there are 2 Description Fields.  The error

Is there any ability in NWC to reuse WF logic or form sections across multiple workflows? for example, many different forms may have Contact info (name, email, address, etc). I'd like to create this once and drop it onto multiple forms.For WF logic, many different WFs may go through the same approval process, eg, to manager, then VP, then Pres. I'd like to be able to create a snippet and reuse when necessary.

Hello, how to use collection variable in Email Notification ?

I have a need to create a drop down which will pull all the Item IDs from the current list the form is attached to.  I created a view because I only wanted a select group of items to be available in the drop down (all requests which have not been rejected and are not major projects).  **It is because of requiring multiple filters that I needed to create a specific view to base my list lookup on.The drop down works, and pulls in the correct IDs, but it is only pulling the IDs from the first page of the view (I have my views defaulted to only show 30 items on a page).How do I get the drop down to show all items (600+) in the view?Thank you!!

I post this, because I couldn't find these information at one place when I needed it, and I think it might be useful for somebody in the future. Please feel free to challenge or extend it. I'm happy to learn more or correct my errors.We had quite a huge issue with different levels of permissions in different roles, different levels of access to the same data...Few basics we need to be aware:Workflows will run with the Initiator's permissions, so that the initiator needs Edit rights all through the  life-cycle of the workflow.Initiators usually part of a SharePoint / AD group so they need the same permissionsYou can set Item level permission in SharePoint but there's no Column level, So if somebody can edit an Item they basically can edit every column in that item.With Nintex workflow you can set up the item level permissions, automate it. (Set Item Permissions)A user who takes part in the workflow need edit rights not just on the Item list, but on the Workflow Taks list too.Really good

Hi all,I have a question as I am trying to build a nintex workflow. Users can subscribe for news which are categorized, e.g. Product and Model. Problem is that users should be able to subscribe for different products, as well as for different models - so multiple choices. How can I create a suitable workflow and at the same time not to notify users more than once.I started with query list, collection operation and send notificationThanks for feedback

I have a huge problem with a workflow I have been developing in Nintex Worflow 2013 for Sharepoint. I have a infopath form that allows users to fill up to 3 "Subs" with relevant information about quantities, categories and plants. The user can fill the 3 of them, just one or leave them all empty. But if they do fill more than one, the workflow must send two three user lists a Request Data, where they will fill in and then the workflow will update the form with the user input. For that, I have a parallel action box in a loop box. Each branch of the parallel box with first have a condition where I will evaluate if the "Subs" textboxes where filled or left behind empty. The loop box have three conditions with boolean variables, while all of them are TRUE, continue looping, if all are FALSE, exit loop. My problem is, when a Subs is filled and the first condition of the branch is met, the Workflow queries a custom list that have multiple users per index. Then, I send a Request Data to those

Hi Folks,My list has the typical Attachments field but my form has a few attachment controls. In a workflow, I want to test to see if the attachment control named "attch_Itinerary" has an itinerary (or any attachment) loaded into it. In the screenshot below, you can see 3 different attachment controls but I want to only test one of them excluding the others. Is there a way to do that? Any thoughts?Thanks and Regards,Patrick

I am making a a task form which should make attachment compulsory when the user select the decision box to approve. It should be optional in case the decision is rejection.
