Hi AllWhat level of permissions do you need to be able to edit a content type level Nintex Form?Site Settings > Site Content Type > Choose Content Type > Edit Form with Nintex Forms in the settings pageI assumed site owner would work?Getting issues for some users (who oddly are site collection administrators) whereby when clicking that link they get popup "Let us know why you need access to this site".  It has been since the release of ‌ I believe but I cannot replicate as it simply won't break for me.I have a support case open with Nintex and may well raise with Microsoft too - but didn't know if anyone has seen this before and hopefully resolved it?‌

Hi all   I am having an issue with the "Create item" action in a workflow. Here is my scenario:   - 2 lookup lists "LookupRegion" and "LookupCountry" - My source list "EntityApproval" - My destination list "LookupEntity" - When a new item is created (and approved) in "EntityApproval" the workflow replicates the item in "LookupEntity" - "Region" and "Country" fields are lookup values from their respective lists and are common to both source and destination lists (i.e. the fields in both lists point to the same lookup lists).   When the workflow fails I get the error "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type". I have identified the lookup fields as the problem (I've run the workflow with these omitted and it completes successfully).   Within the Create item action I am using List Lookup > Source: Current item > Field: Region/Country [return type As Integer (Default)] to set the new item field value. It seems the workflow is taking the looku

Morning   I've inherited a Nintex 2013 workflow. It calculates a probation period for an employee and assigns an action on the time elapsed. Currently it fires 2.5 months or 5.5 months. I need to add a value which fires coming up to 1 month - so 3 weeks.   There are calculate date actions which takes the start date from a SP list, adds the required time the stories it in a variable called Probationary period end.I've added the 1 month action but the Flow is ignoring it and going straight to the 3 month action. The screen grab below shows how 3 month action is configured, I've repeated this in my 1 month action but with 5 in the Days field. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? All help appreciated!

I have a list with almost 100 questions for which I designed 4 content types (grouped all the relative questions) and created Nintex forms. Depending on the criteria next forms will be enabled to capture data. For the same, I am having issue when I am trying to build the save and submit with redirect url to next page. When I am done with first form and to publish the next form for same row  I am not able to capture Preciously created list I’d. And the data in next form is getting populated to new row. Can anyone help me how to resolve this issue. TIA

We have recently migrated one of our forms to a 2019 environment. Now, whenever I click in various fields, the address autofill from the managed addresses in the browser comes up. I'd like to turn this off completely, as we aren't even capturing personal information like this, so it's completely unnecessary. I don't want to have to do this at the browser level. I've had trouble finding a solution because autofill can mean different things in Nintex and I can't seem to find any results that pertain to my issue.  Screenshot below. Yellow highlighted field is my nintex form field. 

I have been facing an issue with the web service call to webpartpages.asmx web service and calling "AddWebPart" method with the following code .The response received is always "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." message. I have added the action to checkout the page before calling the action below.  Also , the source code is as below <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"> <soap12:Body> <AddWebPart xmlns="http://microsoft.com/sharepoint/webpartpages"> <pageUrl>/SiteAssets/welcome.aspx</pageUrl> <webPartXml> <WebPart xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2"> <Title>CSOM Content Editor</Title> <FrameType>N

We have a SharePoint 2013 On premise environment with Nintex Forms Designer 2013. Using choice control as Option buttons we have designed  4 tabs with corresponding panels like structure as in the image     The third tab is the Attachments tab where we have placed the Sharepoint attachment control to add and display attachments. The panel is not visible in Chrome browsers for some users. We discovered that users having chrome browser zoom percentage less than 100% or windows resolution other than 100% face this issue as the attachment panel has a height of only 2px. On adjusting the zoom level, the attachment panel is visible again. Internet Explorer works fine.    Can you please assist on what could be going wrong ? We are facing similar issues in another application as well with tab control.

I have a site that tracks continuing education requests for my team. I am trying to create a workflow that will delete some of the items based on a criteria   I added the delete multiple items action Site: I selected "Select Site" and the name of my site appears in blue below it Editor Mode: Selected Query builder  List: I selected the list name I want the workflow to run on from the drop down  Filter: Select items only when following is true. I want to have the items that were assigned to a certain person deleted.  I selected the field "requestor" is equal to then typed the persons name (I also tried storing the person name in a person variable and adding the variable) Work flow was set to run when item is created   I created a new workflow and it shows the workflow completed, but the items on the list weren't deleted.  This is the first time I'm using this action so any help would be appreciated     

Hi, I'd like to get advice on the best way to achieve a very common thing. Let's assume a List "Customers" that has two fields such as: CustNbr CustName 123 John Doe, Inc. 456 Contoso, Inc.   In another List "Orders" I refer each order to a customer like: OrderNbr CustNbr Whatever 666 123 Some stuff   In the Order Form, if I add a Lookup Dropdown for CustNbr, I end up obviously having only the numbers (123,456) in the dropdown selector, which is pretty useless.   What is the best practice in a Form to add a Lookup Dropdown field for CustNbr which actually shows combined values to select from, such as "123 - John Doe, Inc.","456 - Contoso, Inc." but only populates the right value in CustNbr when selected (i.e. select in dropdown "123 - John Does, Inc." and that populates CustNbr with 123.   The solution I can think of is to add a calculated column in Customers like "=CONCATENATE(CustNbr, " - ", CustName) and then lookup on this one and do some fn-substring to retrieve only the CustNbr

I have form in http://webapp1/sites1. There is a Nintex form in one of the list in this site. Now we have a new process developed in https://webapp2/sites2. I now want users to be re-directed from sites1 to sites2 when they try to open the Nintex form to create a new item in sites1.   Thanks.

Hi all, just have checked the old post on field hiding by rule. Not sure where goes wrong for my rule.   My case is a simple radio button with Yes and No options. suppose the rule: Radio Button != "Yes" could work. Indeed the target field is hidden at first, but no matter what I choose the button, the field never show again.   Do I have to set up a rule for 'unhidding'? I don't see an option in 'then' is callded unhide...   Thanks in advance.  

Hello ,   Is there a timeline when the new nintex form form designer will be available for sharepoint on prem 2016?   Tyhank you

How to open a form B while filling out a form A?   I have two forms, an A form and a B form.   Form B is the registration of a product asking for code, name and description. In form A I will make a purchase and when selecting the product I want to buy, I want to see a drop down list of all codes of registered itens in form B. Then when I select an item code, I want the name and description to appear automatically in other specific places of form A.   If the product is not registered, that is, if it has never been registered on form B, I want to make this registration immediatly by openning form B from form A. Can someone help me please with that? I don't even know whether it is feasible, but if so, I would like to understand possible alternatives for that, especially without the need of coding.   Thank you pretty much.

Hi   I'm coming back to Nintex after a few years and I'm working on Nintex WorkFlow 2013. I've made a copy of a Workflow I'm going to be amending. I've made a few changes on the copy and want to see what results I get but for the life of me can't remember how to run a test?! I haven't published it, and the first few actions are below (I added the send notification action). How do I fire off a test? Thanks in advance. 

Sorry for the apparent newbie question but I'm a .... newbie My form is basically a "request" form, using Responsive mode backed by a basic SharePoint Online custom list.One of the fields in the list is the requester's Manager, with a type of People/Group.On the form, I can obtain the manager using "userProfileLookup("Current User(email)", "Manager") but I just dont see how I can then push this into the SharePoint field.If use a Calculated Field it does not allow me to "Connect to" the SharePoint field as it's not listed (incompatible types I guess)... but if I use a People field and set the Default value to a formula fn-UserProfileLookUp(Current User(email),"Manager") it shows an empty text box.I'm sure it's something really simple but I just cant see it...TYIAChris.

SP 2013 foundation on prem (I know it's old - but there's nothing I can do about it)   Need to copy files attached to a list item into a new sub folder on a file share - \file-srvrfile-shreunq-sub-fldr, where unq-sub-fldr needs to be unique.   From a workflow that's triggered when a new list item is created, one of the actions is to the "Copy to sharepoint", which copies to a dummy document library with another workflow which in turn copies the attachments to a share. That all works fine. Except I can't figure out how to create and get the items into a subfolder with a unique name.   Do I need to try to create a custom Nintex action using the SDK?   Any 2C welcome - cheers!              

I have a Nintex 2013 Workflow that I designed as an email blast to our SharePoint Visitors Group. Our visitors group is 2,000+ users and growing. When the workflow is ran it states it completed successfully; however, no one is receiving the email. I ran the workflow on a smaller group for testing and it worked fine. Is there a limit on the number of users that can be in an email notification? 

Synopsis:A Nintex Form (SharePoint 2013) has a calculated value control which shows the login name of the current user when they create a new item in a SharePoint list. A block of JavaScript from the Custom JavaScript associated with the form needs to grab this value from the calculated value control on document ready. The ID of the calculated value control is saved in a JavaScript variable called varCalc.Issue:The val() of the calculated control is empty when the JavaScript runs on document ready. NWF$('#' + varCalc).val() returns nothing. However, when executed in the browser debugger Console after the page has fully loaded the calculated control is NOT empty.Attempted Solution:Calling NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessOnChange(NWF$('#' + varCalc)) does not force the calculated value rule to fire and update the control. Is there a way to get this value?Actual Code from Custom JavaScript Box in Form Designer:NWF$(document).ready(function() {   // Force a process for the calculated value

I have an issue where the Flexi-Task task form is not loading withing a particular site collection. It appears to be isolated to only one site. I have tried republishing the workflow using different task lists, and removing the content type and republishing without much luck. There have been a few posts with similar issues, but no solution was provided.   This is the expected form   This is the form that is loading

Hi,I am having numerous issues with workflows firing off a workflow errored message after the workflow has successfully completed. Is this a known bug? How can I fix this? I've checked the workflow statuses and everything is green so nothing specific is malfunctioning (what I wrote at least). Since all of the steps are completed this makes me believe that the workflow fails to successfully end itself. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I've been getting the same two emails each time (see below).The Venue Workflow workflow has ended unexpectedly for (no title). An error has occurred in Venue Workflow. Click here to view the workflow status.The Venue Workflow workflow has ended unexpectedly for (no title). The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Click here to view the workflow status.The second error notification made me think that it had to do with an actual step, however, all the steps c

I created a new Nintex stayle call .nf-form-toplabel and added it to the Custom CSS but the style is not applying to the controls I set to use it in CSS class:   .nf-form-toplabel  { font-family: arial; font-size: 8pt;    } 

The Nintex mobile application can lock a user out and ask for the 4-digit PIN to be entered; however, if the user has not setup their 4-digit PIN then they are locked out completely and the app must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

Occasionally, in the Forms Designer app, when saving or publishing a form we are presented with this generic error:       Something went wrong when saving your form. Please retry again.   Once this happens you have to exit Forms Designer.   We've only just started using Nintex Forms in O365. How can we prevent this?  

I have inside to repeating section a lookup list ( SuppliersLine), initial as connect to list suppliers. I won't delete the options from that lookup list and put some suppliers, for example only can have 3 suppliers, where exists in other repeating section (hideField ).   I try to do that from javascript but when submit the form gives an error.  NWF$(".SuppliersLine").on('mousedown',function() {       var container = NWF$(this).parents('.nf-repeater-row:first');       container.find(".SuppliersLine option:not(:first)").remove();       NWF$(".hideField .nf-repeater-row ").each(function(i, e) {       var y=NWF$(e).find(".supplier-list:first .nf-associated-control").val();              console.log(y);       NWF$(".SuppliersLine select" ).append("<option value=""" + y + """>" + y + "</option>");           });          });    }); Who can do this?
