Hello,I've seen that problems regarding state machines are very common however I can't find a resolution to prevent my workflow from erroring when at the stage of changing a state.The workflow goes through a state machine (with 2 states available) then through a flexi task. If the task is rejected it changes states (this change works fine), then waits for a change in a field before then changing state again to loop back to the first state, however the workflow errors and stops. It appears looking at the times that the workflow errors when trying to start the first state again.- I have tried resetting the SharePoint Timer Job.- I have tried running a powershell script suggested on another forum which updates webconfig on all servers in the farm:$webapp = Get-SPWebApplication -identity [SiteURL]$webapp.UpdateWorkflowConfigurationSettings()Any help or advice would be great. - Thanks!

Hi,I am a new user for nintex. and In Nintex workflow the set variable component is already configured with the source parameter as "Association: Task List". I can't find any reference for that list in the site. So please help me to clear my doubts on this.Thanks.

Hello!SP 2013 Nintex WFWhat is the most efficient way (least actions) to REPLACE a value in a collection.I take something out of the collection, I modify it, I want to put it back in at the same index. I don't want the number of collection items to increase. Or does "Add" at a specific Index overwrite if the index already exists?Thanks!

Hi,I have an audit section in my form which can be updated multiple times until a condition is met (i.e. it is in 'Completion' and the 'Complete and Archive' button is used).  This is how the forms looks for each choice:'Routine Monitoring':'Audit':'Completion':Whenever a user completes either the 'Routine Monitoring' or 'Audit' fields and submits the entry, the workflow copies the values into variables like this until its condition is met:What I need to do is take the values of the 'Builds strings' and append the multi line text field (which is entitled 'History' in the form images above), because at the moment the values get overwritten every time it loops - as you'd expect.For info: I initially set-up the form using repeating sections but my customer didn't want to use that functionality so it seemed that my only option was to create a multi line text field and keep a history log this way.  I also tried formatted the multiline text field to append, but then it just appended everythi

Hi,I am trying to setup LazyApproval and confused about one thing. When I go to Central Admin I can enable LazyApproval and there it is asking to write an email where they will be sent. I am confused as to how it will be able to read those emails without asking for user/password? There is no option to set user/password to read this email so how Nintex will be able to read them?Thanks

Hi All,Is there a way to pull the department name of the current logged in user in nintex form?Regards,Ramanjjilu Naidu

I got a typical issue. I am using a cascading drop-down list. Created the form in Development and it was all working.But when i exported to production ,it did not work. The second list is not showing the filtered items. No errors on F12. Initially i thought it is my form issue.To test I created two list Country and city, referencing the country in city list. And used them in another list.Even that did not work. Has anyone tried Nintex Form Cascading drop-down in Nintex form ( 2.11.1.0) and SP2013 on premise.

Nintex Workflow 365Hello everyone.Is there any way to get multiple people as a filter in query list? It works fine with one person, but when I add more, it suspends or rather it does not get any items at all.An example is:I have two items named to me only, Karl.But I have three other items named to me and some else, Karl and Jun for example.I can run the item with my name and get all the items even with Jun.However, when I run the item when I have Jun and myself, the workflow suspends since it does not get anything at all.

Hello everyone. I have a list look up where users can pick items. Each time a user clicks there, the calculated value control will get the parseLookup of the item. Then once the user clicks the button, the calculatedValue (which is hidden) will transfer whatever it is to a single line text box inside a repeated section.Nintex Forms for Office 365function getItemSelected(){NWF$("#"+hostnameRepeated).val(NWF$("#"+calculatedSelection).val()); alert("Done"); }I have this custom javascript function and it works on the first row. However, once I added rows, it is still updating the first row.

I have developed a large Vehicle Checklist e-form in the Nintex Mobile Tablet view. Drivers use the form on their Samsung tablets secured to a cradle in their trucks.  It is currently being tested and has been noted that the cradles are set in a Landscape position – but the Nintex eform only displays in Portait mode.I can’t seem to find any settings in Nintex Forms to change/defining the form's orientation (or to allow it to auto-adjust).This page has identifed an issue with Android Tablets and Lanscape view: https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1404Has anybody come up with a Fix/Workaround for this?Thanks

We have a multiple hidden panel form based off a choice selection. How do I only email the panel information that is selected off of a choice option? Is there a way? 

I thought I left an adequate space for my People Dropdowns but when I search for a Name like "Jones" the part of the dropdown display gets overlaid by the next field.This means I've got to expand my form a whole lot and move my Peeps to non-logical places so the dropdown is unencumbered.  Am I missing an obvious setting that says to allow the drop selector to overlay the next field?

Hi,In a Nintex form is it possible to validate data in another list before submission? I have two lists as below:Master:IDStageStage Complete?1First2SecondDelays List:DelayBarrierBarrier Remove?StageMasterIdAB1YesFirst1AB2NoFirst1What I want to do: on the Master from if user hits "Stage Completed?" before submission, the form being validated and if there's any related Delay with "Barrier Removed?=No" it doesn't save and shows an error message?I know Lookup can be used for validation on another list, but in my case I need to do a query on  Stage, Barrier Removed? and Master Id.Any help would be appreciated!

I have a fairly large workflow (contains a lot of logic/tasks) that I have had running successfully for about a year now.  I recently added some logic to it and published it.  It took awhile to "publish" - the message was displayed that the workflow published.  I clicked "ok" but noticed that the version number did not get updated (from 2.1 to 3.0).  so I opened the workflow gallery in another window and it is still displaying the version number and save date (from last week).  so, I tried publishing again thinking that maybe the publish task timed out.  After several minutes, same thing.  I don't seem to be able to publish this workflow now.  I was wondering if maybe I hit an upper limit in the number of tasks or something.  I would love to hear from anyone that may have experienced something similar.  I am using Nintex Workflow 2010.

I'm trying to update field in a recurring section using update xml but when I tried to update form data column using result xml, my forms errors out and cannot open it.Any suggestions?I've attached the workflow for reference.Thanks.

I'm curious if there is a way to assign a delegate to another person's tasks, should that person be out of the office or unable to respond.For instance, I have an item form that has a field for "Manager," where we ask the user to insert their manager's name. Once the rest of the item form is fully complete and submitted, a workflow is initiated so that that particular item is then routed to that user's manager for approval. However, I'm running into an issue where the person who needs to approve is out of the office and unable to approve or reject the items in their queue for a set period of time. To get around that, is there a way to set up delegates for tasks that are assigned, in situations like these?Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

I would like to build a simple workflow that re-names a .jpg image in a separate SharePoint document library.I have 10 images in the document library ('1.jpg' - '10.jpg'), and I would like to re-name '1.jpg' to 'live.jpg', and then put in a 'pause for' action for one week, and then do the same to '2.jpg', and so on until I get to '10.jpg'.I have tried to do this with the 'update document' action, but it keeps causing an error whenever I try to run a workflow.Any help would be much appreciated!

Dear All:I'm just now very confused with the validation of a lookup control. I've tried a lot of formulas but they don't work. Here is:I have one lookup control linked with a mandatory field:"ZonaSubzona" is mandatory field:Without validation rule, in you don't choose an item in the lookup, the field will be empty and nothing happens.Using a validation rule in the lookup control, like:(esnuloOEstaVacío means IsNullOrEmpty)Another formula like {Self}=="", it doesn't workUsing validation into control properties, it doesn't workIf someone can help me I promise to invite him a beer here in Spain...Have a nice day!

UPDATEDI am using a Build String action to create links to attachments to be used in a task form. I am basically following the steps I asked in this post way back when. However, when I follow the same steps in Nintex 2016, the workflow throws in a jumble of junk to the end of the hyperlink and it doesn't work. I am using the Rich Text action in the flexi task form instead of the multi-line text field (although that doesn't work, either). The process in order:User fills out form, attaches at least one attachment.Workflow gets the attachments from the form.Workflow loops through collection and creates URL to attachments.Workflow adds URL as a field in workflow task form so approver can view the attachments from the task form and not from the email notification.My workflow:The rich text field in my flexi task form:I thought perhaps trying to create multiple links was the problem, but it still doesn't work with just one attachment. The hyperlinks I generated from the form attachments work.

Hi!I'm learning how to use Nintex and I've tried to find solution for this one problem. Is it possible to modify form in the middle of the workflow? For example: user submits the form -> Manager doesn't approve it, she wants that user makes some changes -> how can user open that original form again and update the information? Or manager needs to fill in her hidden fields in the form, how she gets to see that original form?I'm using Nintex Workflow cloud and I'm going to store data in SQL (not yet set up).
