Hi, I am trying to create a Nintex responsive form that when a parent enters their parent code it returns the children's info like Name, Surname, Year Level. Firstly I was hoping the People Picker will be perfect as it connects to our AD but then I want it to populate student details across text fields using the List Lookup and the lists that I have created in Sharepoint. It seems the People Picker is limited to just collecting the parents name as recorded in AD as they enter their parent code. The text controls didn't work for me either when I created Rules as it didn't connect specifically to say the Name Text - Short control and Surname Text - Short controls etc. I instead used Labels and a Variable formula to get the data and it worked- see screenshot 1. However I am currently using a Dropdown as the only way to do a List Lookup which displays all the parent codes- I only want parents to enter their own code and not see other parents code- see screenshot 2. I tried using the People

Afternoon   I have two variables set on two lists, the fields are a Start Date and a Leaving Date. I'm using a Math Op action (shown below) to work out the difference. With a Start Date of 8/9/20 and a Leave Date of 30/09/20 the Difference_start_finish variable is giving me: 3810412800. How would I convert this into days/months/years. I've tried to use a Convert value action but it makes the workflow error. Any suggestions? All advice welcome

Hi there,   I've been asked to create a custom input form for my business and discovered we have Nintex.  I've been using the Nintex responsive forms and have a couple questions!    1. When in designer view I put everything in the order I like but when I click preview and or publish the view it's in a different order.  Why?   2. Is there a way to put a logo into my custom input form?  I'm creating a new data analytics team and we have created a custom logo that i'd love to put on the form.   Best, ReidT

Hi, I have an error with my Web Request control. Every time I save the control, the "Request body" gets saved as a single line. Resulting in a request response HTTP 400.     When I remove the Request body and insert it again from text the request response is fine.   Whenever I save and publish the form the output stays blank, it keep messing up the Request body. When I change it to input from a "Named control" and manually do it from the form, it works fine. But I can't ask my users to input the XML themselves 🙂    Any solution? Am I doing something wrong?   Thanks.

First time posting! Hello, I have a list that is being utilized to manage project requests. These requests have an option for a "duration" (15, 30, 60 or 90 days). I have created a calculated column that takes the user's choice and applies an "Expiration Date", which is their choice of duration represented in date form. I have a need to send a reminder email to the creator of the item 10 days before the "Expiration Date".

I'm building a tracking system within a SharePoint list and using Nintex forms and on the form there is a field for status for the list item (ticket) Open, Assigned, Active, Closed I'm trying to figure out how to build a workflow that will auto log the date and time into a column when the list item (ticket) is created and then moved into a new status.  Like this screen shot I took from another system I found.

Sorry, this sounds like a dumb question, but I have a form with an attachment field and some multi choice drop downs which are Form Controls not list columns. How do I access the results and attachments after submission. I can't see them on the list item?

Hi   I have a form with an attachment field which is currently mandatory which is not what I want. I can't see where to switch this off! I went into the control settings and validation and I can't see a script or an obvious way to make it not mandatory. I can't see any rules set on the control. Any ideas

We are using Nintex Workflows to make web requests to the _api/contextinfo address, which mostly responds with a time out error. After 4 or 5 attempts it may respond (and I am able to extract the digest token).We have checked the ULS logs and it seems that SharePoint always responds within 30ms. We have tested using PowerShell, but SharePoint always responds within 30ms.   It looks like the issue in not with SharePoint or Nintex but somewhere in between. Any similar experiences? Any suggestions where to look? thanks.

Hi together, we're currently planning to migrate Sharepoint databases from a db server SQL 2008R2 to another server SQL 2008R2. Nintex is used for several applications.   Question: In the first step we only want to migrate the Sharepoint databases. Will this occur any issue regarding existing Nintex workflow? I don't have any clue about Nintex how it works. Just want to avoid that something isn't running after the migration of the Sharepoint databases.   Thank you in advance.
