Here is the scenario. We are using flexi task form in which we would like to display 2 values, one is from the associated list item and the other one is from workflow variables:value 1: CurrentEndDate(associated with the column "NonstopApprovalEndDate" in the list "SCPaymentList")value 2: PauseDelayDay (associated with workflow variable)This is the form design:This form is so sample. CurrentEndTime + PauseDelayDay = NextEndTime.When user click pause button, a javascript action is triggered :function UpdateField()  //.....  paymentItem.set_item("NonstopApprovalEndDate", NextEndTime);  paymentItem.update();  clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccessfulUpdatePaymentItem), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailedCallback)); }function onSuccessfulUpdatePaymentItem(){  NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessOnChangeEvents();   NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessOnChange(NWF$("#"+CurrentNonstopApprovalEndDate));}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

 Symptoms  Suppose the following scenario: You had created a simple workflow that sends an email when a Change has occurred, next workflow had been successfully deployed but at runtime you are receiving the following error:Specified cast not available.     In the SmartObject Service tester the same error is being thrown.  Diagnoses  One of the possible causes for such errors is that a source object for SmartObject used in your workflow has been changed after workflow has been deployed an SmartObject is out of sync with real object.For example it maybe some added field in SharePoint list used by your workflow which has been added post workflow deployment and after the list in question was appified.K2 expects the document library or the list or any other app to be the same or in sync with the SmartObjects so the refresh or the recreate of the SmartObject after alter of the app is an expected behavior, but as you can see in certain scenarios error messages you end up with not quite obviou

Is there a solution to this? When a user goes in to the edit the task form, every field - except the list lookup dropdowns and checkbox button values and attachments - inherits existing data.This problem does not occur if editing the form via the SharePoint list itself.It seems this issue of list lookups is particularly described in 3 other threads:List Lookup to inherit existing column dataHow to Populate the Field values from the Nintex form to Task Form in Nintex 2013How to keep lookup item from form all the way through workflow

Hello, I am attempting to move a list items between 4 folders (within the same list) - based on a list item value. It is critical that the version history and the list item attachment also move with the list item. How can this be performed?

We have a form that asks for DOB. When the user clicks on the calendar icon to change the date, it only goes back to 2007. If we choose a date in 2007 and then open the icon back up it will then show back to 1997 and will keep bumping back 10 years each time you do that. Is there any way to make more years show up from the beginning?

 Synchronization of site groups are set by default on an 8 hour refresh. If changes are made to groups, the user must synchronize groups to have these changes reflect immediately in K2.   To synchroize SharePoint and K2 group memebership, access K2 for SharepPoint in the Site Collection. Then click on Synchronize Groups under the Permission title. You will see the screen following screen with this description:         By clicking Synchronize, you will force SharePoint and K2 to sync group memeberships.

I have a Nintex 2013 workflow running on a SP2010 Doc library which runs once an item is created.The WF is huge with 2 state machines and 15 Flexi tasks in total. Does this slow down the performance by any chance?Is there a threshold on the number of flexis a WF can have?I am also not getting the "WF published" dialog as it displays the publishing dialog indefinitely.But if i refresh after a couple of minutes the changes i did would have been published.

Hi,I haven't tried to use this feature before so I'm not sure that I'm doing it right or if this is an issue.Nintex Workflow 2013 (build: 3.0.7.0)The DB connection string is: Server=SQL01;Database=MyDBName;User Id=USERNAME;Password=MYPASSWORD;(I am using a standard SQL user account not a windows credential)I have confirmed that the string works. Firstly by using the connection string tool from Vadim's blog siteSecondly if I add an Execute SQL action and paste in the connection string. Then use the run now test I am able to use the test connection button successfully and also run a simple select statement correctly. What does not work for me.I have created two workflow constants at the farm level1) a string with the sensitive constant button ticked2) a secure stringBoth constants have been secured to a specific group of users who are designing the workflows. (Basically my admin account for this testing).I have pasted in the above DB connection string into the values for these constants.

Hello!I would like to delete Site Workflow History Entries from a Website. I have already deleted the Workflow (it isn't running any more), but the Entries are still there.I think this is for SharePoint 2010 and also 2013 (i am using 2013).Here my search ways:- Contextmenu (top right) - Nintex Workflow 2013 - View Workflow History -> I can see several Entries with the already deleted Workflow- Site Settings - Manage Workflow history lists -> The History lists are empty (0 items)- Site Settings - Manage Workflow Inventory -> Workflow is not available (already deleted)- Site Settings - Recycle Bin -> Empty (also the Admin-Bin)I have found in several discussions points for Library and List Workflows, but nothing to clean up this Site Workflow history.More investigations show me, that the Workflows aren't available in Nintex, because the graphical view is "not available". So this can only be a SharePoint thread.Does anyone have an Idea?Big thanks,Daniel

Hi I need to run a daily Workflow check on a list filed to check that a date is in the next week, if so it will send out an email. So how do I set a daily Workflow running (in the Workflow Settings I can just see Start Manually or Start when items are created) and also how do I set a moving date. I've added a Set A Condition action and when I look at the Value to configure it's just letting me set a specific date.Any suggestions? 

How can I update a variable once it has been set in a running workflow? Here is my scenario. Once the Hearing Date is set on the list item, I calculate the days, store it in a workflow variable, pause until that calculated date and send an email.  But what if someone comes in a changes the date on the list item? Is it is possible to reset that variable/date calculation?

Hello!I have a simple workflow that sends an email notification. I am trying to send the column values of the form with  XML tags in the body of the email, so that another application can pick it up and use the values transmitted. I enter the XML tags as texts, then insert the column/field names(see sample below):<?xml version= '1.0' encoding= 'UTF-8'?><!DOCTYPE BioMed_Direct SYSTEM 'BioMed_Direct.v2.dtd' >    <BioMed_Direct Cmd_Type='ADD' >    <RequestReason>RequestReason</RequestReason>    <BranchCCNo>BranchCCNo</BranchCCNo>    <SubmittedBy>SubmittedBy</SubmittedBy>    <WorkOrderNo>WorkOrderNo</WorkOrderNo></BioMed_Direct>Unfortunately, when the email is sent, only the column/field values show in the body.    New Rental    BR12345    i:0#.w|corporatecbanque1    WO98765 How do I format the body of the email, in the Send Notification workflow action, so that the XML tags are also displayed? Thank you so much for th

Hi, we are using a list in SharePoint to manage our hardware. Now my colleagues had the idea, that it should be possible to add a specific amount of new items to that list with "one click". (to generate consecutive numbers for inventory labels)The solution I created was very simple... the user can start the workflow, types in the "amount" of items that should be created, and the workflow runs...- The Loop runs if the variable "amount" is greater than "0"- then a new list item will be created with some defined single text columns- then a math operation "subtract 1" from the variable "amount"- the loops runs again if "amount" ist still greater than "0"- and so on, and so on.It works fine, with only one problem... the loop takes so much time to run. (varies from 2 - 8min)Is there any way to make this loop task faster? Because.... when my colleagues have to add/reserve 50 items the workflow would run 4 hours. Or perhaps there is another way to solve the request to create a certain amount o
