Hi All,I want to change the manager name on changing the another people picker.On opening the page the current logged in user's manager name it will pickup, but if in case i want to change the "Requestor" name accordingly the line manager name should be changed. Please guide me.

We have built a form that is going to be use externally but only users inside our domain can get to it.  We would like to know who is submitting these forms in our domain.  We added a calculation filed to pull current user and it is always coming back with the system admin as the user even though the employee is signing into there account.  Is there a way to pull the current user or the email for the person filling out the external form?

Hi,In chrome DDL looks like that:While on IE it looks different on every use:How can I make the apperence of the error as homogeneous as possible?

I am working on building in some functionality that will allow us to track when items are changed from one status to another with a Sharepoint list. What I want to happen is that it writes to another list the previous status and the new updated status along with the date start for new status and date end of the old status and some other important info from the initial list. I am almost positive this can be accomplished via Workflow automations, but I have only built simple ones that email people based on new items being generated.What is the best way to accomplish this?  I know I can keep version histories, but as we have a limit this would quickly be reached where we would lost important information. 

I'm attempting to utilize a sql request control on my form.  My connection to the sql server tests out fine.  When I type in in the test query it will even test out fine.  However, as soon as I close the test and run, nothing will show up in the control.  When I go back into the run now and run a test query, I see the following error "Incorrect syntax near ' '.  My sql query is pretty simple.  Here is my querySELECT TOP 1000 [PositionTitle] FROM [Reporting].[dbo].[vwPositionTitle]Here are my screenshots of what I'm seeing

Hi all,I have built a NINTEX form using certain parameters passed through via fnGetQueryString() from the URL string which works fine.I am now trying to pass on those parameters from the DisplayForm to the EditForm (when you click Edit Item) as well. Obviously the GetQueryString() doesn't work as the parameters are not in the URL when calling the EditForm.Is there a way to achieve this?Many thanks in advance!

I have several (many) Nintex Forms with Managed Metadata Fields and I have been unsuccessful validating the fields. Problem is if left alone users can type whatever they want in the field which is not acceptable The rules are working otherwise so far but not for Managed Metadata field, how do you validate users select from the connected field and not just type in free form text.I have tried using the Connected field ( from the List Colum. )  and check to make sure it is not empty IsNullor Empty (Item Property Name) and that does not work.   I have also tried not(Item Property Name) - that does not work.My question is what works?  does anyone know I need an answer ASAP.ThanksCarol

HiI'm assigning a flexi task to a user and they're getting the following error:I tried upping the permissions on the list with no luck, then read this thread which suggests setting permissions on the "Workflow Tasks" list, I've looked around on the Worflow and can't see how to do it? Don't know where to start. I'm using NintexxClou and SharePoint 2010.Any help (with screenshots?!) appreciated!

I have SharePoint 2013 on prem environment using Nintex workflow , When we save sit as template and try to recreate site from the saved template it is breaking with an exception "field with id 50c3f294-1c48-406c-92e9-0f1b985b3aa8 and name IsProduction is not found or not accessible". When i export the site template and look into the schema file in the nintexworkflows list there is a reference to this field under content type but there is not defination found for the field. <FieldRef ID="{50c3f294-1c48-406c-92e9-0f1b985b3aa8}" Name="IsProduction" Required="FALSE" Hidden="FALSE" />Can any one suggest how to repair so this column shows up. or any piointers. 

Well this is odd. I am using the responsive form for Nintex 2016 and when we print the completed form, the selections for my multi-select checkboxes do not print the checked selections. The single-select radio buttons, dropdowns, and text fields all print.The selections show that they have been made on the electronic version of the form, but the multi-select questions look blank when printed. This isn't good from an audit perspective. There will be times our auditors will need to print the form. Has anyone else found this issue? I shouldn't have to make any special settings to get this to print. It should just work.Thoughts?UPDATEI have reported this as a bug to Nintex. It appears that the form does print and indicate the multi-select choice, but it is very hard to see. If you look below, you will see what I am talking about. The box with the slightly darker outline is the selected box:

We need the ability to create a save button which doesn't close the form. I noticed a feature request which was marked as 'early planning' in January 2014: Saving without closing a form – Customer Feedback for Nintex.  We are now at the end of 2015, does anyone know when this is likely to be progressed?  This function is available in Infopath and K2 so it's disappointing to see that Nintex has seemingly forgotten about his feature request. Short of using SPServices to create/update the list item I can't think of any other approach.  However, while we don't mind using custom javascript the number of columns would make this an onerous task. I'd appreciate any information or ideas on a possible workaround for this issue.

Hi allI am looking for some advice, being new to Nintex, on creating a workflow that triggers when a ticket is created. It lets the person who is assigned to a ticket know it has been create and then reminds them if the ticket has not been updated in 15,45 and 90 days, before escalating it.My first thought was to use Flexi-task because f the reminders functionality, but I think they are for approvals only? I don't want the item to be approved, just live until it has been closed and take appropriate action to remind and if needed, escalate via email notifications.Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks in advance.

I have an ask from a user to calculate the Hexadecimal value using a decimal field.I'm not even sure where the start. the HEX2DEX command does not work in a calculated column. so I thought maybe I could do it with RegEx... something like;s/([A-Za-z0-9_])/=printf("%#02x", submatch(0))/but I'm not sure how to get the results by configuring the regular expression workflow action.Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?ThanksKassie

Using 2016 Nintex forms and Workflow with on-prem 2016 SharePoint.We have a Nintex Form that is saved to a content type.  We have a save button which is set to save and close.  When it does this it returns the user to the root of the site they are on.   We want to make it return to the folder they were in when they opened the document properties.  How can this be accomplished?

We have a task delegation workflow which permits users to delegate tasks to another user on the system. The workflow assigns the task to another user but when the user tries toopen the task they get the following errorAuthorization error while loading custom task response form: You are not authorized to respond to this taskI have attached a ULS entry for a single such task. The user got this error when trying to open a task that was delegated to them.Any ideas why this might happen?

Hi All,I am not able to make mandatory or required field through rule - isNullOrEmpty(HostName), I don't want to do from list level.Please refer the screenshot.What could be the reason. It is happening to all of the controls, only fields that are made required from list, are throwing an error.

Hello, I have a Nintex Form with Tabs.  On the Tabs, some of the controls can repeat on each of the Tabs.  For example First Name and Last Name Textbox control  are on Tab1, Tab2, and Tab3.   The Textbox Control is connected to the same column in the SharePoint 2010 List.   If I enter a First Name and Last Name in the text box control on Tab1, how can I populate the First Name and Last Name text box control on Tab2 and Tab3 with what is entered on Tab1?  Can you have the same Textbox controls on different Tabs in a Nintex Form?   Also, in the New Form/Edit Form, when clicking Save, the First Name and Last Name would be updated correctly in the List.

Hi All,I have a choice field with check boxes with multiple selection, but when i select multiple, my controls jump around. I have written rules for hiding the controls for the first time you open the form. Please refer the below screenshot for your reference.If i select one check box, i don't have any issueRegards,Ram

Is anyone encountering an issue whereby sending to a SP usergroup in Nintex workflow results in a copy being sent to the said email address?

I have created a flex task with a custom form, but the form will not open. I do not see any errors on the console. Do y'all have any ideas?This is a screenshot of what happens when I go to the task to edit.NOTE: This happens in preview too, and only for Desktop view, it works for smartphone.NOTE2: This custom form has an attachment field.... when i added the attachment control to the smartphone view it also began to hang. HELP

I have an anonymous form and anonymous users are able to submit, however, workflows are "failed to start (retrying)" for every form submitted by an anonymous user. How can I make sure workflows start regardless? 

I have been getting complaints about Lazy Approval not working. So I submitted forms on the same list from desktop and mobile, and approved them via email from desktop and mobile. Each time on several tests, they completed. Finally today I saw one fail as I was testing with other users.I do not see any issues with permissions. The user even completed one that went through, and then on a 2nd one the approval email was captured by the task, but the workflow "Failed." Any ideas as to what could be happening??NOTE: These outcomes are from the same list, same inputs, same user. Error:Successful:

My frustration reached an all high level...I am configuring a Flexi task notification. Here is how it looks like in the action window:And here is how it looks in the actual email. A line break is inserted before the variable:When I go to the source code I remove the line spaces (it worked before) but this time Nintex reformats it every time. Any suggestions how to fix it?!?!?
