I've gone through a few examples as to how a workflow can be resumed after detecting that an item has been modified, but the workflow doesn't seem to want to wait.What am I doing wrong?

We have an approval workflow of size 1600KB, which has worked till now. We have published the same workflow adding "log in history" action. Boom...it started throwing error "Workflow was canceled by System Account." Failed on start error.I have published initial workflow without any changes, but there was no luck,the error still persists. Please help me with this..If possible please circulate the message in other groups of Nintex, as I'm new to this and has less view.Thankyou all.

Hi,I have some trouble with JS and Nintex Forms.My starting position: List A with 2 columns: SessionName and SeatCapacity. Another list "Participant" selects the session from List A.I had a JS function that delivers me the residual seats depending an what user selects. I put this function in the Settings/custom JS of the form.e.g.List A:  SessionName    SeatCapacity            ----------------------------------------           Session A           2Participant:  userName    SessionName                 ---------------------------------------                 user01              Industry 4.0                 user05              Industry 4.0                 user06              Industry 4.0   <<--- and here is my sticky point, if user06 click on save, he must get an alert that session "Industry 4.0" is overbooked, and he can't save the form.This is my goal. I'm verry new in developing forms. How do I address the js function from the "Save" button and get True or False or even the remain

Is there a way to change a field on a list if an item is modified on another list in the same site collection? For example, if a choice is made to a row on List A, a field in List B will be set to a specific value. More specifically, If set a status field to pending in one list, a status field in another list will be set to 'in queue' or something like that.I believe I know how to query the list in order to find the entry I need to update, but I cannot seem to find out how to alter a specific value in that list entry.Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have repeat section with two dropdowlist. If the user in the first "dropdownlist" select items where started by "INV", in the second "dropdownlist" should only see items beginning with "02"

Hi, I've created some cascading dropdowns in an O365 Nintex Form, intended to be used on the Mobile App.When configuring the List Lookup controls IO've found an anomaly. If you configure the List Lookup control to use a Source View, the lookup will only return the first item in that view. I copied the controls from my mobile layout to the desktop layout to test, and without changing any settings the list lookups worked perfectly in preview mode, however, in the mobile app they still only return a single result. If I remove the Source View value (effectively looking at the All Items view) then it works fine, but this is not what I need.Below find the desktop screenshot And the same controls in the mobile app with the same Anyone else found this behaviour? 

Hello,I was asked if two functions were possible using Nintex and, since I had little clue and did not find much, I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.Function 1: Can a new item form contain fields that send data to other lists. For example, in a form asking about a movie you saw, the title, actor and director would go to the initial list where the user clicked New Item. Information on the movie studio would be entered on the same form, but go to a different list. I am pretty sure this can be done on a workflow, but can it be setup directly from the form itself?Function 2: Can the fields in a form change based on a previous selection. For example if a choice at the top of a form asked for your profession, and each profession had a different set of fields that needed to be filled in, is it possible to have only those fields relevant to that initial choice appear? I suspect that it is might be done with custom code but I am not very good with those skills.Thanks f

Hi,Have anybody seen that setting the default value at a people picker to current user not works?When I simulate the (Flexi task) form it works, but when i run a real life scenario the field is empty. How is this possible, is it a Nintex form bug?

 Symptoms In one of my environments when our code tries to get a Worklist I am getting this error."28026 K2: does not have permissions to impersonate user " Diagnoses During the meeting, we noticed that when reproducing the issue, your application did not connect to the correct K2 server. There is no log in the HostServer log with full logging enabled. Resolution Customer checked and found that the server values on the application web.config was incorrect. Correcting the values in web.config resolved the issue. 

I'm working with very simple forms and workflows - both SharePoint Online forms and SmartForms.  An initiator fills out and submits a form; the reviewer gets notified and follows the item link, but the form is empty of data.  Have tested this is different browsers.  The workflow can get approved and keep moving, and the data may or may not show up in later steps of the process.  Any thoughts?

Is there a way to redirect the user to a different landing page after the workflow is manually started?I don't want the user to be directed back to the original list page. Thanks for your help.

 Question Can we use SAML 2.0 without using ADFS? Answer Technically yes.    K2 does support SAML 1.1 and SAML 2.0.   We also use other authentication providers that uses SAML 2.0 like Windows STS, etc.   However, due to lack of testing, it's not certain this will work with just any auth provider compatible with SAML 2.0, as we have had limitations in the past.  

Hi,I have a workflow with lot of Assign Flexi tasks to be send to different groups for approvals with customized Nintex forms. Because of the custom Nintex forms the workflow has grown too big so, I have broken this into smaller chunks.I have an Assign Flexi task on to the child workflows to send approval notifications. Now the issue is, when I choose the option of "Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing" on to the child workflow the Assign Flexi task action is creating 2 Workflow tasks for each individual user. I need the option "Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing" to be chosen as I would like the parent workflow to proceed only when child workflow is completed.Nintex Workflow 2013 version is: (3.2.2.10) - EnglishNintex Forms 2013 ( 2.10.0.2 ) - Enterprise Edition.Thanks,Nirmala

I have a workflow (Nintex Standard On-Premise) that sends email notifications when statuses change. I also have a Notes to Requestor field that, when a note is added, I’d like to send an email notification.  However, I do not want two emails sent out when both the status and notes to requestor are changed/added – just the status change email.  I am trying to do this with a Loop action.  I’d also like to get out of the loop if status equals completed or cancelled. I have a rule on the notes field to set the switch to Yes and a rule on Form load to set Switch = No.  I’m getting an email when status changes, but not when there is just a note to requestor added. What am I missing?See attached workflow.

Hi Nintex Team, I am facing weird issue in Nintex 2013 Workflow. Sometime Set Variable action set value correctly and sometime not which makes my application break for no reason. I am trying to set text variable (strUserAsText) from people picker column UserAndApproverInvolvedSoFar with Set Variable action. Here, I need the Login Name so I can set it in Set Permissions action, but it is getting set as:44;#Desai ChintanWhile I need in formati:0#.w|klext-desai Alternative 1: Then I deleted below Set Variable and created replica, output is same – Error.Alternative 2: Then I tried getting Email Address from UserAndApproverInvolvedSoFar people picker, output is same – Error (sometime it set email address, sometime it set as 44;#Desai Chintan). I am going crazy, as what is going wrong. I doubts its because of Switch statement or some corruption in Set Variable. 

I am using a parent workflow to pull list item ID's and trigger a child workflow. The problem that I am having is that the recurring list items (calendar list item) are not being queried therefore the child workflow is not being triggered on those items. The list items have the parent ID number with date/time on it. Does anyone know how to query the list for the recurring list items? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 Symptoms Receiving an error when opening the project "The Name property cannot be set to empty." Diagnoses The error occurs when trying to open a project. The error is as followed "The Name property cannot be set to empty. I've tried to open this in both Visual Studio and K2 Studio and I receive the same error. Resolution The best way to get around this issue is by downloading a previously deployed version from workspace and then trying to open up the downloaded version in K2 studio or Visual studio.Furthermore:If the error also persists when opening the process or continues to persist in general, it would be advised to check the activity names as well. Navigate to the kprx file and right click to open it in notepad and search for the characters that come within the error. If any are found within the name tag, you can then delete this character and then further save this. After that you try to load the project in visual studio or k2 studio as well. 

I have a requirement to display (and edit) data in a nested-grid.  I've been researching the capabilities of Nintex Forms and I can't find any illustrations on whether the repeating control can do nesting and if so, how would I manage the parent/child relationship?Also - if this is possible, would I have client-side control of the controls with JavaScript?

I have a List View and a couple of columns that could potentially display a large amount of text. I was tinkering with the Expressions to use the Left String (column, 150) and it doesn't seem to work. If I use the 'text' portion of the Display Rows it doesn't display any text.If I use the 'Field' option of the Display Row it shows up weird text  (c1sdfuji43-) Is there a way to do a left string on a List View for this particular situation? I keep getting a red circle over the field saying I can't use it with that expression.

Hi All,I am perplexed with the way Nintex flexi task approvals are working. I had few users which does lazy approval. But recently the requirement changed and i had to give them permission to approve by clicking on task.I tried giving them following permissions, I gave contribute access to workflow task listI gave Contribute access to the list on which the workflow is running.I hope this was sufficient. But my approvers were not able to approve it until i gave them read access to the site. I don't think it's the recommended way, because that was a private departmental site.Can anybody help me on clearing my doubt. 

Hi,I've been working on this off and on for weeks and spent a lot of time searching for an answer that would work but so far, I've had no luck!  Hopefully, someone out there can steer me in the right direction.  This is my scenario - I have a form and a workflow.  When a new form is submitted, a workflow is triggered.  When a form is edited (date fields only), a different workflow kicks off.  Now, I know there's a workflow feature that can check previous values vs. new values but I've read that this feature isn't 100% reliable (perhaps this isn't correct?).  Anyways, my goal was to use JavaScript to compare old values vs. new.  This is what a portion of my form looks like:I've been mostly focusing on the Departure Date first (when I get this right, I'll add change events to the others, as well).  So, to explain - the user opens a form that they have already created because they want to edit the dates.  In this example, the departure date (JavaScript ID = "varEndDateID") is updated and

Hi, I have a form with a People Picker. If in the Sharepoint List I configure the People Picker to accept only members of a specific group, it gives me an very superficial error message : "There are unresolved entries".Any help please?Thanks
