Hello,I am using Nintex Forms 2013.  I have 2 lists. 1.  Departments - Parent table.  This is a list of all of the departments.  Field "Department" is unique.  There are other fields such as contact information, etc. 2.  DeptRoles - Child table. A list of roles by department.  Fields are "Department" (Lookup from Department List) and "Role"I'd like to create a form where the user can select the Department (from a drop down list) and then see, add or remove  all of the Roles associated with the Department.I tried to create the form off of the Child Table - "DeptRoles" .  I have the Department field on top and a Repeating section with Role.  But, I am not sure how to tie the repeating section to the Department field.  When I configure the repeating section, the "Connected To" drop down is blank.Does this make sense? 

I would like to have a link on a web page that goes directly to the form entry page (i.e. I don't want users to have to first go to the List, then click NEW ITEM, I just want them to start in the form at the outset). Is there any way to do this? I don't want to embed a web part - I'm hoping to use a cute icon that users can click and start inputting information. Thanks!Caite

Nintex 2010Hi allI have a flexi task that should be assigned to one of three sharepoint groups depending on what the initiator has filled in the start form.So I assumed:- that I can use the "Set a condition" action several times- then set a person / group variable equal the appropriate group- and choose the variable as assignee in the flexi task settingsBut if I run the workflow, it ends up in an error with the following message:Error in task. User cannot be found.If I assign one of the groups directly to the flexi task, it works...Has anyone an idea, how I can achieve the conditional assigment?Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have a nice working Live Form. What I now need to accomplish is to show data from the Live Form on either the Confirmation or Cancel message page. It allows to insert Properties, but as they either not yet exist while on the Live Form, or are not yet available for other reasons, they show up empty. This includes an automatically generated reference number (intending to use JS and "new Date().getTime()") to be stored in a (hidden/disabled form field).If the above is possible, what am I missing???NB: I searched the community but could not find any help so far.

I have a (previously working) list workflow that uses a UDA.  I made one minor change to the UDA and now the workflow won't complete.  The workflow keeps erroring during the UDA and I am trying to troubleshoot that error.I have added a number of Log In History List actions within the UDA to debug and help determine where exactly the problem is occurring.  I also republished the list workflow after updating the UDA.But when I run my workflow and it errors out, none of the 'Log in history list' entries are there.Does the history list from the UDA have to be accessed elsewhere?  I am just wondering where i can find the information that should be logging to the workflow history, as nothing is coming up.We use are using Nintex forms and workflows 2013 on-prem.Thanks

I would like to provide the initiator with the ability to cancel a request for a period of time before the next person processes the request. Is this possible?

Please I want to know the price (cost of licence, etc) of Nintex worklow componente for SharePoint.

I was wondering if anyone has tried biulding a solution for mailroom automation with Nintex. I was given the task for creating one which includes:Register incoming mail - create a new item with a unique auto-incrementing number/string.Print the number/string to a barcode printer (barcode to be stuck onto the paper)Scan the paper to SharePoint (with the stuck barcode to be connected to the list item)Fill in additional metadata and route with a workflow.The receiver often needs to send back a reply so he must be able to create a new record/item for outgoing mail (in another list/library) which must have a "link" between them so that they are easily traceable.The business process is not set in stone, so I am open to ideas on how you manage your incoming and outgoing (paper-based) mail.Thank you.

This may be more of a general Sharepoint question...Once my Nintex form is submitted, if a certain field ('assigned to') is not completed within a matter of 3 days, I would like the list view to show the row (or a particular field in the row) to show as bold/red.  To bring attention to it basically.Is that possible within Nintex, Workflows or something within Sharepoint itself?  Preferably something easy a non-developer like me can manage?

Does Nintex for O365 have the User Profile Lookup? I have been searching and not finding. If there isn't such a thing in O365, is there a workaround for this?Thanks.

I am wanting to add a Previous / Next Button to a Nintex Edit Form. The following code has been added to the Client Click section of the button: Next Button: window.location = "Site URL/Lists/IAMGlossaryNavSettings/EditForm.aspx?ID=" +(ID+1) Previous Button: window.location = "Site URL/Lists/IAMGlossaryNavSettings/EditForm.aspx?ID=" +(ID-1) . When clicking the Previous Button or Next Button on the form, the following error will display because a certain ID does not exist: "No item exists at... It may have been deleted or renamed by another user" Does anyone know how to get around the "No Item exits" error? Will this require additional Javascript? If so any help with the JavaScript would be appreciated.

What does <span id="NWRTEReference[number]"> do in emails and is it an absolute must to have them seeing that Nintex automatically includes this markup whenever a control is added, and does not clear them every time a control is removed?

How can I configure create list Item to save form values to a list? Is Create list Item even the right action to save form values to a list?Thanks,Melaku

I am attempting to set the "Title" attribute of a List Lookup control set to display as a "multi select" list of options.It appears that when I assign a javascript variable to the control, that javascript variable isn't representing the control directly, but rather some hidden text box somewhere.  This leaves me with no options to use JQuery to select the options within the list to work with them (setting the title for each option in the control, for example).Can someone provide me with a method to select these options?  I can't be sure, but this specific control is really the only one I have had difficulty with.Thanks,~~Kolten

Hello, I have a list workflow using the call a web service action create projects of a certain type in my project center based on the answers to questions in a form.  I used this wonderful forum post to accomplish this.  https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/nintex_gallery/blog/2016/03/10/creating-a-project-in-project-server-from-sharepoint-with-selected-project-typeThe service account is creating the projects but I did use a people picker in my list to capture the name of the assigned project manager.  I want to take the people picker field and overwrite the service account with the assigned project manager name I collected in the list.  I am able to do this manually through the UI. I have the Nintex project for project server tool.  There is no field in the update project properties action to update owner name directly.  So It will have to be backed into it seems.  I was able to get project prop author to update from the people picker field, but that is different than

I have a workflow with an assign flexi task.  When the approver clicks from the email to work the task it gives the follow "SORRY" You need edit rights to the task item to respond.  The sharepoint list has the correct permissions and the workflow task list has the correct permissions.  Am I missing something?  I have even tried the set permission item and that doesn't help me either.  I'm new and could use some help. 

Hi all,I'm using Nintex WF for SP 2010.Trying to get my head around how to check if the date in field X is within the last 30 days.What kind of comparison should I use which would verify the date field, without accepting dates that are more than 30 days ago.E.g. if Date X is 11/11/17 then reject as too old, but if date is 01/01/18 then accept as being within the last 30 days.The date field can't be in the future so I'm not concerned with validating that.Thanks, Mark

Hello!I have 2 dropdown fields.First dropdown contains a list of numerical codes.Second list contains another list of numerical codes.If the selected value for first dropdown does not equal to say 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000, the second dropdown needs to be reset to "Please select a value..." (Nintex's default value).I've looked up several JavaScript examples but they all don't work. Can someone please help?

Hi everyone I have a fairly simple question but I just can't figure it out. Basically I have a list with a column called Serial Number. Typicallly it's an alphanumeric 14 digit number. they all start with S. I would like to use Regular expression to remove that S. So for example STH9FT5HWWNM7 would ideally be turned into TH9FT5HWWNM7 any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

Hi all,while evaluating NintexForms, I need to test how to populate form columns from external data source. This could be in future a SQL table or something else via Web Service. But, at the moment the external data source is written to a local semicolon separated text file every night.I tried to look for articles how to read local file (local in a share, that is \share...) with Nintex, but is this supported?Any suggestions for a Nintex Connect article or similar how to use the SQL / Web Service request functionality? Maybe the Web Service request could point to a local share.All the best,Kari

Is there a way to display an error message to the users to indicate that the submitted item is not unique?I've a form that has two values inserted : Field A, FieldB. and another calciulated value that gets compiled in runtime to concatenate (FieldA)+ (FieldB). The calculated field is connected to a list item field whose properties is set to be unique field. So the form shouldn't submit the item if it found an existing item with the same value (FieldA)(FieldB) already exists. Now my problem is two things: 1) the generic message that gets displayed by sharepoint when trying to submit a unique item is "Something went wrong, please try again".2) It goes back to the original form but it clears the value of one of the fields (Sql request)I want to be able to display a customized message and somehow show the previously selected value from the sql request only when sharepoint fails to submit due to the unique value validation. Note that: I'm able to keep the value that was previously selected
