I am using Request Data task in a Nintex 2016 workflow in SharePoint 2016 on-premise.I have attached custom content type to it and also added one custom outcome field called MOutcome.I am using custom form which is displayed when a user clicks on task title in Workflow tasks list. I achieved it by creating a feature where I am assigning my own custom application page based on content type.My custom application page displays fine.On that custom page I have one approve button clicking on which I set the default outcome to "Continue" and my custom outcome MOutcome to "Approve" but workflow doesn't move to next step. It just remains at Request Data step.But if I use the default/OOB task form which shows "Complete Task" button in SharePoint then it moves workflow to next step even though I have seen it also performs the same operations i.e. setting default outcome to "Continue" and MOutcome to "Approve"What code shall I write on my button in custom form so that this task is completed and wo

Hi all,I am a novice with Nintex and SharePoint.  I have a simple notification work flow that runs anytime a request is updated.  The notification shows the user that submitted the request along with who the request is for.  I have these in a table along with information from the request.  The columns these user fields are tied are in a list and are lookups on our company directory.  When the fields are populated into email "I:0#.w|corp"" precedes the user id.  How can I remove this so that it does not appear in the email?Thanks for any help!Jennifer

Hi All,I am having a form with multiple sections. This sections have a show/hide logic rule based on a text field. So e.g. if text field has value A then section A would be shown and so on.Button click has a custom javascript to set this textbox with proper value. I have stored client ID of textbox in a variable and using NWF$ to set the value.All works as expected in new and edit form but I have an issue in display form. As its a textbox it is disabled in display so javascript is not able to set value. I tried below approaches to overcome this issue1. Using javascript variable which holds client ID of text box, show and enable text box.2. Give class to textbox and use JQuery to find element so it can be shown and enabled.But both fails it seems element cannot be found in display form with above two approaches. Can someone help me please.

I have used teaxtarea control with the js var: "filesList".I have connected it to a field, and it converted from "textarea" in the DOM to a lot of "<p>".When manipulating it:NWF$('#' + filesList).text("string");It's not varied. When changing it to being not connected to a field - it becomes a textarea and I can change it.How can I maniplulate this field?

Hello, I  am working with Nintex Forms (Version: 2.11.2.0). I have implemented a cascading lookup field with multiple divisions checkboxes. I need to create a solution where as for every checkbox selected a new number field is created for it.  The number field is so the user can enter a percentage amount for each Division checkbox selected. Please see the attached screenshot for better comprehension. Ideally I would like to create this solution not using JavaScript or Jquery, but if those are simplest and most efficient solutions, I will give it a go.Thanks so much for any help you can offer.#create a new item for each checkbox selected

Hello, I have a site workflow with an initiation form (Nintex form), on that form contains a repeating section. I can't for the life of me figure out where the FormData is stored to parse out the repeating section XML. If this were a list workflow there would be a hidden FormData field on the list, but this is a site workflow and i'm not sure where that information is stored.Any assistance/advice on how that can be accessed would be great. Thank youMatt

I have a form validation based on a choice field (with Yes and No options) that seems to be not working anymore. After some testing I believe there is an issue with using the field name in the validation. I created a simple validation just for that choice field to confirm this:MyFieldName == "No" <--- Validation doesn't work{Self} == "No" <--- Validation worksIs it a known issue? How can I use this field when validating another field?Thanks!

We want to print a Task Form after final approval.  What are the different options available.  Recently I read on community post that "Print to PDF" option is available, however, I did not find any such control.Can community member help me.Thanks

Hey everyone,I'm trying to build a workflow to get and loop through the repeating section data without using a UDA. I've heard UDA's are going away once we migrate to online so I thought I would build this workflow to successfully migrate.I'm having issues with the query XML portion. I thought I could just query the form data from Item Properties and reference my repeating section name as the output to grab the encoded XML. I don't think this is pulling any data though because when I get to the query XML action for the decoded repeating section data to get my item count, my workflow is having an error.Am I totally doing this the wrong way by trying to deconstruct the UDA actions and apply them one by one to my workflow instead?I originally got the UDA from ‌'s post.ThanksKassie

I am receiving different types of errors on my workflows.  I was able to access and edit workflows yesterday and this morning.  This one particular error message is one of the workflows I was able to export from one site and import to a new site, it is not showing the name or the diagram:This error is on separate site, and I was trying to edit an action:and I'm seeing errors like this on all other workflows:Additional info:We had a network outage yesterday and we did IISReset on all the servers, but didn't reboot.  We also changed the DNS Server addresses.P.S.Workflows seem to be running today, just can't edit them.

Hey! Does anyone know how to find out which actions are used in what workflows? I know that using the "Know your workflow" PowerShell script I can find out how often particular actions are used. But there is no report showing in details in which, specific workflows the particular action is used. Do you know how this can be done?This is related to a Standard Nintex for SP2010.Regards,Tomasz

We have created our own task content type based on workflow task which has a choice column.  If we use the OTB task form it shows the drop down as expected.  If we create a Nintex form the generated form includes a single line text box for our choice column instead of a choice field.  If I add the choice column from the Task Columns toolbox group there is a warning that says 'The "Choices" property is required'.  It should get the choices from the task content type shouldn't it?Thanks in advance,Eric

I would like a dropdown with 10 consecutive years, the first year being the current year.The following example, of course, won't work for the subsequent years, but you should understand what I'm trying to do with this.Anyone with a successful method please share, thanks.

Hi, I am trying to create a simple approval workflow that would also update the status in my library (pending, approved declined - check my screenshot). The update item action works just fine, however notifications are not working, not for the send notification action nor for request approval. I tried several options to put in who to send notification, I've even put in the e-mail manually and it's still not sending any notifications. Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks in advance for helping a young beginner.Cheers

Hey All,I am pretty comfortable in SP but new to Nintex. A user has created a workflow, with a schedule that runs every day at 4am. When I check 'view history' on the workflow I can see that it almost never runs correctly on schedule. Sometimes it runs around 4:25am, other times it runs at a random morning time (7:35am, 10:45am, 8:23am, etc.) and occasionally will not run until the PM sometime (I've seen as late as 3:25pm).What the heck?! Its odd that 95% of the time it runs on a :x5 or :x0 of the hour, but there are occasions where its not, like 8:23am, etc.).We have other Nintex workflows that dont have scheduling issues like this, and this workflow ran perfect for months and then one day just started randomly drifting and has continued since. I did check that we don't have excessive workflow history and we have less than 2k records.Any thoughts? would love your ideas!I have submitted an SR but still waiting on a response - I thought the support forums might be another way to tackle

I have a requirement: I need to send a email notification when there is value in co-assignee and whenever status notes got updated. I have created a workflow like this:when you click on run if->and when you click on email notification->but I have no idea how to trigger only on status notes->so I have triggered on when whole form got modified like below->Please help me anyone. Thank you in advance.Thanks,Haritha.
