I am very new to Smartforms, and a citizen developer. I would like to use tree control on a form we are developing, and have tried to follow the instructions online to use the tree control: http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2smartforms/UserGuide/current/default.htm#Tree.htm Apparently, I am doing something wrong. Does anyone else have additional instructions or video on how to use this control properly? Thanks!

All,I've a list with multiple views.If I group the default view of my list (it appears by any column) and then republish my Nintex form I receive the following error:If I go back to the list, the item has saved/updated etc. regardless of the error.I've created a view, with just the SharePoint ID column viewable (made it the default view), then grouped by another field (randomly selected) and it comes up with the above error. If I don't use the list group by function I can publish the form OK.I've looked at my controls on the form, all appears as I expect.  I've got no rules with 'dead' columns.Any ideas?Andrew

Hello all, I have a form library that queries a list containing project information, in the request, one of the date fields is ProjectStatusDate which is read only, when the user wants to change this date they enter a date in UpdateProjectStatusDate field and submit. The problem is if the UpdateProjectStatusDate field is left blank the existing data is overwritten to nothing (none of the update fields are required). In SharePoint designer I used the NotEquals operator, so if there was not a date entered then it did not update It only updated when a different date was entered. How can I get this to work in Nintex? I tried storing the new date in a variable and then using Run If the variable IsNotEmpty. I checked the date formats in the primary list and secondary list and the variable to make sure they match. I just want to prevent the update of the existing date when the new date is blank.thanks

I have a SharePoint (2013) list. I want to create a Nintex workflow (2013) that if the Status column changes to 'Closed' from any other status, then add a 'Closed Date'. If the 'Status' column is already set to 'Closed', DO NOT change the 'Closed Date'. How can I set the logic up to do this?

I have a workflow that errors out occasionally for some reason. It gets to the end workflow action and it won't end. Instead it loops back through over and over until I go in and manually terminate it. All of the actions seem to be working properly so I can not figure out why it is generating an error message and continuing to repeat. There isn't even a loop action build into the workflow.Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a workflow variable in NINTEX Workflow 2010 with a Multiple Lines of Text field for containing the body of an email message.  When I modify the workflow to edit the content of the variable, the configure action dialog only shows a single line text box for the value.  I cannot see the whole of the text, and I cannot scroll with the arrow keys since the cursor jumps all the way to the bottom or top of the field.  I can use the mouse on the arrows in the 'scroll bar' of the box, but when I try to change something, I cannot add new line characters.See the attachment.  There is only one line for editing the multi line value.

dear community,when publishing a workflow from SharePoint development environment to productive environment via export/import we found that the permission levels get scrambled up.We use the action 'set item permissions' and assigned our own permission level "company reader" (a copy of the permission level 'read') to the item. In the same workflow in productive system it got converted to another permission level "company editors" after import. We had to re-assign all levels in prod again manually.did anyone of you ever experience this before? Do you know a solution for it?thank youAnna

Can we trigger a workflow of a child list as soon as a new Item is added in a list by a master workflow using "create list item" action?

I've always struggled working with dates. And here comes this one, if someone can help with this, that would be great.I've got a repeating section on a form (not linked to a Multiple line of text /xml or anything). I need to place a validation rule on that date to error out if that date value is not within 30 days of the report date (which is by default is the current date). So first I need to identify the limit of the 30 days of the report date and then compare to see that any date that is within that repeating section is before those 30 days limit. Example:Report date: October 1, 2017. repeating section date is Aug 1, 2017. The form should error because the 30 day lmit should be till only sep 1, 2017 (so mainly 30 days before the report date). We need it to validate before it is saved and provides a message to the user to say which date that is not falling within the 30 days limit. The repeating section can grow so big, so I need to be able to pinpoint to the user which date exactly

Hello,I need some advise please in relation to my form I've built. Essentially I have a multiline field called Comments and I want to see if I can have a YES/NO column trigger whenever someone in the form update's the comments field. At present I have a workflow that monitors for the multiline (previous) not equal multiline and then triggers an update to copy the multiline entry to a column (single line) wf-last-comments then updates a wf-comments-exist to Yes. This is proving to be very unreliable and in our environment we do not have the pause option available.

I have created a Nintex Form and am using custom javascript.  On Save, the javascript checks that 3 fields are not blank based on the value of another drop down field.  Everything works great in Chrome and Firefox, however when trying to save in IE, the page reloads and just goes back to the form and the item doesn't save.  I debugged the form and in Debugger I see "Failed to open http://nameofserver/Lists/ListName/NewForm.aspx?Source=http.....On the button settings, under Client click, I have if(CheckAllFields() == true) {return true;} else {return false;}.  If I remove this and test in IE, the form saves (obviously without validating the fields) so I suspect that is the reason for the issue.Can anyone provide insight why this would not work in IE, but everything is fine in other browsers? I wish I could tell end users not to use IE, but that's not an option

So a little system background before asking my question. I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Nintex Workflow, I've created a List workflow along with the variables I require. Office Infopath 2013 is installed and validated that it can be used to open and edit Sharepoint forms for various lists etc.I am trying to edit my workflow start form via Infopath since Nintex forms designer is not an available editing option within my environment. I open my workflow, select edit workflow, select workflow settings, click edit start form. From there I am only provided the option to edit the form from Infopath 2013. Once selected I am prompted to save my workflow, I briefly see the loading wheel and then nothing.What might cause Infopath to not open the start for for editing?

We have just set up Lync integration with Nintex Workflow 2013 and so I have been playing with the various options available to me now, all spurred on by ‌ and his awesome blog post ‌.  The action "Find users by status", although I don't have a use case for it right now, I assume would be a good one to find all "Available" members of a group and assign tasks only to those.  So I thought I would have a play.I have configured it as such:Find users:  Site owners groupWith status:  AvailableStored in collection:  vCollAvailableOwnersI am in the owners group and I am Available (in the sense of Lync only  ) but it does not return me!I have two entries in AD with the same display name - one is my normal account and one is a test account that I rarely use.  I think it is using display name to search...  does anyone know about this and whether this is true?  If so, in an organisation as big as the one in which I work, this won't be a useful action at all as there are lots of duplicate display n

Hi,In case anyone has or will run into this issue, I provide some public service her. There is a known and confirmed bug in the SQL request control on responsive forms.Even though I configure it to use custom select message: When rendered it set all controls to index 1 (first item) instead of the custom select: The bug fix has been put in pipeline at Nintex, but there is no ETA on the fix sadly.

 Symptoms When clicking Finish or Save on a Form, the error message "The Form has rules that still need to be completed before you can finish the wizard. Review your rules to ensure everything is valid." pops up.Disabling or Deleting the erroneous rules are not possible since the Remove button is disabled. Diagnoses The only known workaround is to use the F12 Dev tools in Chrome, see the resolution below. Resolution Please use Google Chrome for this workaround:-> Open K2 Designer and navigate to form with invalid rules (Chrome)-> Hit F12 to open developer console-> Select rule that you want to remove-> Click the inspector glass on the bottom left then click on the Remove button at the top that has been disabled-> You will notice in the inspect item window it will jump to a CSS entry-> Please check a few lines above that you'll find a Javascript entry with the word 'Disabled' in the definition.-> Remove the 'Disabled' word, this will enable the button.-> You can

I'm fairly new to Nintex workflows and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a multiple document workflow.  Here is a what I'm looking for:1.   A requirements document is started and the group is notified to take action2.   The requirements document generates another document and once that document is complete it creates another document and then sent for Review and Approval.they all will be identified with a unique ID number and saved into a Document Library.#document process and approvals.

Hi all,I'm trying to implement an autosave function on one of my forms - http://www.ashu-tosh.com/2017/01/nintex-forms-implementing-auto-save.htmlWhen I try and open my form, it 'hangs'. It's something to do with the way I'm implementing the code.What am I missing?My JavaScript button has the css classAutoSaveButtonYet, do I not need to add something to the beginning of the JavaScript code?  i.e.Does that mean then I add the following to my button:Do I need to add another field - timerTex- to my form? and update the client ID javascript variable name?This post seems to have it nailed, but I don't know what they have done.ThanksAndrew

While I saw many answers, none of them suggested a simple verifiable solution.Here is a scenario.There is a list. There is a Nintex form associated with the list (with one content type).There are folders with different security settings. Based on information entered in the form (from the root location of the list ), a list item (with multiple attachments) should be moved to a child folder. There is a Nintex workflow on item created and item modified.My suggested solution. Once item saved (created), move the item to a folder based on the entered data. Proposed implementations1. Move Item does not exist in current action set2. That leaves us with copying and then deleting an item Copy To SharePoint does not work for SharePoint lists (only for libraries)Copy Item does not support folders/subfoldersCreate Item does not support folders/subfolders3. This leaves us with Create Item in another site This action lets enter the same list as a target and additionally provide a folder nameI can con

My customer want to change the outcome values in workflow history, because that little confuse when the task completed but still show as approve not approved.The img1 is task outcome, img2 is workflow history outcome.Is that possible?

Hi to all,I am using nintex workflow on sharepoint and I have a problem with a workflow that i created currently. Whenever I want to edit an element of my list i can do it only one time. When I try to change something the second time, the error "this task is currently locked  by a running workflow and cannot be edited" appears. It doesn't matter what I change on the element. But i can only do it once. For me it doesn't make any sense, because, when I go into the workflow protocol in the element it says that all worklow has been run succesfully. And even at the beginning, when nothing triggers a new workflow the same error occurs. So I don't think that my worklfow can be the issue. Where can i find that workflow that is blocking the list element? I hope i could Point out my Problem clearly. If not, do not hesitate to tell me. Thanks in Advance!

I have a list with Nintex Approval WF. Once a user had added an item, I want to set item level permission for that created user to "Read". The approver get's the task and for him to respond, he is given contribute permission.Once the approval is completed, I want to set Read permission for all the users("Everyone").  When I tried implementing the same, since the Approver is having to contribute permission to approve the task, even when I set the permission as Everyone - Read, the contributor is still able to edit the item...‌ ‌ 

I have a SharePoint List. A workflow is setting individual permissions on each item. It is possible to read the individual permissions from each item with Nintex Workflow?With the web service "GetPermissionCollection" I can only read the permissions of the list or a site.I found a powershell script for this, but with Nintex out of the box I can't use it. I know there are Nintex addons to run a Powershell.Have anybody an idea how I can collect the item permissions?Thanks.

I wonder if there is a way to save a Nintex form after a special time (autosave) or save after adding an attachment by javaScript. Up to now I could not even trigger a "save button" by JavaScript.I tried this:NWF$('.AutoSaveButton').click();  (created a save button with the Name "AutoSaveButton" according to http://www.ashu-tosh.com/2017/01/nintex-forms-implementing-auto-save.html but it did not work).I am thankful for every hint.Andy
