When a user clicks on edit for a list item the Nintex header of the form also displays Content Type, Created At, and Last Modified.  How do I get rid of this annoyance ?

I can easily create a view of tasks assigned to [Me].  What I would like to do is to be able to filter the view so that the users only sees the tasks where they are in the assigned group for that task.What is happening, since they are not a Site Collection Admin  they are clicking on tasks to which they are not assigned and getting an error.    At least is they would see a message stating they are not assigned to that task.One thought I had was to set individual assignee can only read the task so then it would not show in the view but I am concerned that this would impact the internal processing of tasks.Any ideas on how to keep users from seeing tasks they are not assigned?

I see the option to export the wf start form, which produces an xml file. How can I then import this file into another part of my site to start the workflow without having to go into a list item? Ideally I'd like to pull this form into a web part.

Back in the SP 2010 days I was told a best practice was to keep workflow size under 500Kb. Performance/reliability would begin to suffer beyond 500Kb. Does that hold true in SP 2016 and Nintex WF 2016 (both on-prem)?I've seen many example of workflows on this site that clearly exceed 500Kb.

I have a state machine workflow that has been throwing an error right at the end so it does not successfully end.  It is a normal looking error, "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type."  I am having a bit of trouble determining where that transformation is happening.  The other workflow initiates successfully, but this one just doesn't end gracefully.  The workflow status doesn't actually change to the text "Sent for RB votes and final approval" like the Set Workflow Status should be doing, but I don't see anything in that action that looks unusual.  Could this be something from further up the workflow?  Any ideas to help troubleshooting would be much appreciated!

How do you display company logo on the body section of the email on iPhone or iPad that is generated by nintex workflow?

I have an approval workflow that sometimes requires that users go back to the form and select a secondary approver. I am wondering if they do select that secondary approval is necessary, how do I send them back to the form to select who they need secondary approval from and then continue the workflow from there?

Hi,I have 2 simple lists.List A:Title - Single line textSkills - Multiple ChoiceList B:Title - Single line of textSkill- Single line of textI have been able to design a workflow to create multiple list items based on the List A's "Skills" column in List B.Example:List A:Title                     SkillsEmployee1          SharePoint;Nintex;SQLEmployee2          Nintex;SQLList B:Title                     SkillsEmployee1          SharePointEmployee1          NintexEmployee1          SQLEmployee2          NintexEmployee2          SQLBut the problem is whenever I tried to edit the item in List A and update it, it creates duplicates entries in List B.I know I have to use the ID of List A to update List B's items but not sure where or how.Can someone please helpThanks.

Hi everybody,due to our following migration from OnPrem-SharePoint 2013 to 2016 we will also upgrade the installed Nintex Workflow/Forms-version to the one that includes the new Document Generation-feature.To evaluate if this new feature matches our requirements I do have some questions I didn't find complete satisfying answers in the given documentation so I directly ask them here :-)Do I understand correctly, thatthe WFE-servers have to be opened to the internet so that for every document generation a connection to Nintex Live can be established?document generation happens in the cloud and not locally on our OnPrem-farm? Will the document template itself and the data from the workflow and listitems leave our network and be sent to the cloud to be assembled there and then the final document will return?the creation of documents is subject to a quota and must be payed extra? What about companies that have an enterprise license?Greetings from NurembergRicky

I am trying to use the formdata in the query xml. But I don't see any formdata under item properties when I click Insert reference. What Am I missing here?

I have a value that is coming to me in the form of two digit number, semicolon, #, string of text. example being:"03;#Red is a great color!"I need to capture that two digit number. I was attempting subString(STRING,0,2) but if the STRING has a leading 0, it's being dropped and I wind up capturing "4;" instead of "04".What's a good way around this?

HiMy list has a folder structure (business requirement).In my workflow, I need to know location from where a new item has been created.If it was created in root folder, the item needs to be moved to a folder.Folder name where the item needs to be moved is calculated based on the information entered in Nintex form.If the item has been created in a correct location I don't need to move it.2 list properties{Common:ItemUrl}and{Common:ContextItemUrldon't include folder name.Any suggestions?Thank you 

I want users to be able to select a list of people to whom emails will be sent; the list will be arbitarily long.  I expected to just put a people picker in a repeating section, but the drop down gets truncated and will not extend beyond the edge of the repeating section.  I tried Bring to Front but nothing changed.  If I extend the vertical size of the repeating section then every new row created takes that amount of space on the form - and there might be several tens of rows. Not pretty.Has anyone had to do something similar and found a solution.  Regards, Stan.

i am using sharepoint 2013.

Is it possible to use fn-IsCurrentUser to identify multiple users?  I want to be able to show or hide a form control depending on who the user is.  There are multiple users who should see the control.I've tried the following:fn-IsCurrentUser("corpdstarr") || fn-IsCurrentUser("corp est")and that doesn't work.  I've also tried:fn-IsCurrentUser("corpdstarr" || "corp est")and that doesn't work either (although I sort of expected it wouldn't).Can this be done and what is the correct syntax for doing so?

I am needing to insert the action Start a Workflow. However, I am confused by what information I am to enter in the Username and Password fields. Is the Username something I get from the SharePoint administrator or is it my work login? Is the password one I make up or is it the one associated with my work login username? If I use my work credentials, what happens when I am instructed to change my password? I am using Nintex O365.Thanks for your guidance.

I need to find the approver of a flexi-task that was sent to a Sharepoint Group.  The "Create individual tasks for all group members" is checked.  I have read a lot of posts on this topic, but it seems like all of the suggestions require jumping through hoops to get the approver.  It seems like this should be out-of-the-box. I tried to use "Last Task Respondent" (from Workflow Context), but that contains the group name.  Any ideas? I just want to make sure I am not missing anything.  Is there any type of variable that provides the approver who responded to a flexi-task that was sent to a Sharepoint Group?  

Let’s say there is a SharePoint list of users with an additional column that contains a role per each user. On another list, a Nintex Form contains a panel that needs to be displayed only if the current user is assigned a specific role. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Invalid Windows credentials supplied. Credentials should be in a domain\username format.Can someone please help  on how to fix this error? 

Overview:We use and external data lookup and in turn populate form elements.One of the pieces retrieved is added to a Select element on the form. All of that is working just fine.An inspection of the HTML shows the items have been added, however, when the form is submitted a SharePoint error is thrown and the form submission fails.If a static Option (not added by jQuery) in the Select is chosen the form submits just fine.Details:We are using a REST call via jQuery and retrieving JSONJSON is well formedWe then loop over the options and append them to the SelectExample:<select name="ctl00$SPWebPartManager1$g_f3cb44cb_28a3_493f_8344_c409b53f4e86$ctl00$ListForm2$formFiller$FormView$ctl18$f1b815d2_ac95_4bc5_8e56_236efde79a32" class="nf-choice-select nf-associated-control"    id="ctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_f3cb44cb_28a3_493f_8344_c409b53f4e86_ctl00_ListForm2_formFiller_FormView_ctl18_f1b815d2_ac95_4bc5_8e56_236efde79a32"    formcontrolid="9850bce4-6706-4791-9fbf-837cd4b35932" data-use-attr

Hello,I don't know how to solve the following problem. I have a list with many fields and for that list have created a Nintex form.Also I have created a workflow for approval purposes that seems to work. At the beginning of that workflow I want to set the rights for the element to be "read only" for everyone and only a group called like "formAdministrators" may have all rights. The workflow saves these settings at this point.Now the workflow sends an e-mail to the first approver (a second stage will follow later) who can set his decision to "approved" or "declined" and leave a comment. The workflow can read these values and should also save that values to the element.With our tests (we started the workflow manually) we found that this workflow runs correctly if I start the workflow. It seems to be this way because I'm member of the group "formAdministrators". But if somebody else who is not member of that group starts that workflow it will fail. The error message was like "The item cou

Nintex Workflow 2010Product version: 2.4.7.0Database version: 2.0.5.0Release date: 20 January 2016Found the bug in nintex workflow 2010 2.4.7.0.We have a workflow notification using email address list stored in workflow variable. The send email workflow will send email to all email address within the variable. It seems that the header and footer nintex message template keep repeating in the body mail.Example:1st recipient receive normal header and footer2nd recipient receive 2 header and footerAnd so on.

In Nintex 2016 (v4.2.2.0), the "wait for item update" action does not allow for multiple conditions. I've read and successfully used Vadim Tabakman's approach (Nintex Workflow - Wait for Item Change) with a loop wrapped around the "wait for item update" on the Modified field, then checking the (multiple) conditions to determine whether or not to break out of the loop and progress the state machine.Consider the example where the "Wait for" condition is:myField "to equal" myValueWhat if I wanted to extend this to:myField "to equal" myValue OR myOtherValueWhile this can be achieved using Vadim's method above, I noticed that the "wait for item update" has a "match regular expression" as an available operator. Can this be used to check for multiple values on the same field?For example:myField "to match regular expression" (myValue|myOtherValue)However, the issue I'm facing is that myField is a choice field and while I'm allowed to change the operator to "match regular expression", I'm not p

I have the checkbox option to show on start form for other fields except for person or group. Can any of you know how to hide these variables?Thank you.
