Hello there. We have just installed Nintex/SP 2016 on prem. When I try to create a new workflow, it doesn't populate the window to choose whether to pick from a template or start a blank one? We will be saving a lot of template and the users will be re-using them and this is an essential part. Is our installation broken or is this a known issue in 2016 on prem?!

When I execute a task in an user defined action (icon with yellow pencil), the task shows the list of the properties of the element. In a normal workflow task (green pencil) I can disable this with the option "Show section with element properties in view of task properties".

I am Trying to add a drag and drop functionality for the approvers / reviewers, is this something possible through standard Nintex form? I am using standard nintex form people group with repeating section, but i cannot move them in up or down order. 

Currently we have custom code set to move items from one list to another using a bootstrap/alpaca form button in conjunction with JS. The customer wants to keep the UI (Alpaca Form) to complete the same functionality, but leverage Nintex workflow instead of JS to get the work done. It would be a very simple workflow to complete the process, but not clear if its possible to trigger the workflow via the CSS/Bootstrap/Alpaca buttons. Thank you for any and all info!

 Symptoms Creating deploy package from command line Diagnoses Is it possible to create a package through the Microsoft command line ? (K2 version 4.5) Resolution It not possible to do this at the moment at all.You can use our own PandD tool but you will have to upgrade to one of the latter versions of K2 Blackpearl to use this.At the moment you can use the MS build or use powershell to this as well.MS-Build gets used in K2 studio as well as Visual studio to create and deploy the package. MS build does use command line as well.You can have a look at both sets of documentation below:http://help.k2.com/kb000188http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/packageanddeployment/1.0/default.htm_package_and_deployment_-_automated_deployment_of_packages_using_microsoft_powershell.html 

I have a workflow that is using Copy Item to take from a main SharePoint List A and copy item to List B, and then notifies the initiator that their request has been received.  This works most of the time, but I have a percentage of records that indicate workflow completed and this appears correct in the history detail view, but List B does not have this item.  List A and B are carbon copies of each other for fields, field types, etc.When this was identified, I pushed the missing records manually and this worked just fine.  I have also confirmed that this is not permissions related as User X has records that copied properly as well as ones that did not.  I am using a variable for NewListItem as ListItemID.Does anyone know what might be causing this, how to fix it, how to capture that although the workflow thinks it completed, it truly did not perform what was expected.  I am considering a pause and then sending information back from List B to List A, but that seems both complicated and

 Symptoms How to manage transactions in K2 Smartforms when get any error in any of the actions the rule is executingExample:Multiple action happen in the button click ,if one failed, it should rollback the others. Diagnoses This depends on the rules. Smartforms rules execution is not transactional, however you can build transaction outside the Smartforms and call that via SmartObject Resolution The respected customer asked this issue to be closed after supplying the following answer:"This depends on the rules. Smartforms rules execution is not transactional, however you can build transaction outside the Smartforms and call that via SmartObject" 

After releasing a List/Item the responsible person decided that the single line text column needs to be changed to a multiple line text column.  I know this is possible but there are Items already in the List – how will the text be affected that is already in the single line text column?  Will the text be removed/deleted? I'm hoping nothing will happen to the text already in the column. 

Here's a slightly obscure problem I came across with a fresh build of K2 4.5.The K2 workspace site threw HTTP 500 errors when I tried to view it - with an error likeCannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'value' set to 'negotiate'When I looked in the web.config, for the Workspace site, I saw that the authentication config was slightly mis-configured: <windowsAuthenticationenabled="true" useKernelMode="true"useAppPoolCredentials="true">                    <providers>                        <removevalue="NTLM" />                        <addvalue="Negotiate" />                        <addvalue="NTLM" />                    </providers> </windowsAuthentication> I added a <remove value="Negotiate" /> as the first sub-element of the <providers> tag - and everything was magically good.I needed to do this in the following places: C:Program Files (x86)K2blackpearlWorkspaceSiteweb.configC:Program Files (x

HiWhen adding multiple approvers in the people control on a Nintex form, the Value error appears in the list.  The forms initiates a workflow with an approval action which is meant to be sent to the people who are added in the Nintex form.  Is this an issue with the people control or do the approvers need to be added into a collection variable.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will start off saying that using the lookup() function within a calculated field will not work in this scenario. I require the ability to complete the form using Nintex mobile, unfortunately the app does not support lookup() functionality for whatever reason. I've got SharePoint 2010 on prem.Here is the desired outcome, but I need help to get it working on mobile devices:Currently, the first drop down menu is a list lookup which gives the option to select an existing report to edit. Once a report has been selected, the second section, "Selected QC Details" auto-populates based on the report number that was previously chosen. This works beautifully and smoothly on the desktop!The idea I have is to get around the lookup() function by using some JavaScript (or any other idea you may have). I searched online and found an article by jeremy.jayaraj titledHow to query a SharePoint list from another list in Nintex Forms for O365. This has the right idea, but I was not able to replicate the d

Hello,for my current workflow, I created a Nintex Form. This form contains a drop down box named NextState. The values gets populated by a SharePoint List. I assigned ID and Text to some workflow variablesNow what I want to do is to disable a text field, if user selects one special entry of the drop down listSo i placed the text field right unterneath the drop down list and added some formatting ruleAs you see in pictures, we are german speaking, the rule I added should be equals(NextState, "Band") in english.I tried it in different ways and it drives me crazy. The text field always shown. "Band" is the value, the user selects. It is a value of the lookup list. I tried it with the Liste Item ID of lookup, the Text like shown above, I tried it also with NextStateText and NextStateID, using " and don't use them.Everything without luck.So please help me to find out what is wrong.

I am trying to set a people picker control to a user other than the current user. I have read the 1222 post and am unable to get that to work: https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1222I put this function in my custom JavaScript:function setToPrimay() { var ins = new NF.PeoplePickerApi('#' + 'cidRep'); ins.search('i:0#.w|xxxuserID').done(function (data) {  ins.add(data[0]);}The people picker Client ID JavaScript variable name is: cidRep.The button has a client click of: NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { setToPrimay(); });(Of course I changed the domain and user ID above)I also tried setting the people picker with no luck: NWF$("#"+cidRep).val('i:0#.w|xxxuserID');Thanks for any assistance,John

Does K2 have any sort of support for transactions?  K2's best practices recommend minimizing the number and size of data fields stored in a process and storing other data in some other data source (e.g. SQL Server).  That's all well and good, but does K2 support the concept of rolling back a transaction if the process to save my data elements fails?  For example:using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) {     try    {        using(Connection wfConn = new Connection())         {            wfConn.Open(myWorkflowServerConnectionString);            processInstance = wfConn.CreateProcessInstance(myProcessName);            ...            wfConn.StartProcessInstance(processInstance);        }        myDatabase.Save(myDbDataFields);        ts.Complete();    }    catch (Exception ex)    {        ...    }}I would expect the example above to work since TransactionScope ties into MSDTC, as does K2.  However, K2 support says this won't work.In the example
