I have logged a support ticket with Nintex, but I thought is should also share this in the community incase someone has experienced the same scenario

Hi All,Really have a weird issues here, I created this form in the last 6 months.Once everything was working as I needed to it to, We went live. It has been working great for about 2 months now all of a sudden the rules are no longer applying to the form.There are certain fields that need to be disabled until a certain step. But now all those rules are ignored and the entire form can be edited any time.Does anyone know what is going on?

Has anyone come across submitted mobile forms leaving the outbox and then disappearing? They're not coming across to sharepoint. Normally they are either in the outbox/drafts or they're in the sharepoint list. I've never had them go missing before.

So I setup a new SharePoint Connector. As it seems I can only configure my tenant - not a specific site-collection.But when I add an action to my workflow I can only access the lists and libraries of this specific siteHow do I access a specific site-collection?

For example if i have a company name: Aeronautical Machine Transportation and Repair Company PVT. LTD.From above example i would like to get only first 15 letters in all capital letters including space "AERONAUTICAL MACH" or i am not sure if space is also counted as a letter?

Hi All,May I know is there any settings which can disable the items to trigger multiple workflow (same workflow but different version). thanks

I want to set a date/time field to the current systems dated & time when a user checks a Yes/No field. For example, "[Yes] - Equipment was collected" set the PickUpDate Field (Date/Time) with the current system date. I am not a developer so I am looking for a simply solution

Hi,Here is my scenaio:I am querying list and collecting "Date initiated" column values into a collection variable. I now would like to iterate through each date initiated value and calculate "Number of days in Approval" which is a difference between (current date and Date initiated). I then update the number of days in approval field in the list item.Sounds simple but with dates involved in the collection, I am not able to achieve this.I iterate through Date initiated collection and store each date in "var_datestring" String variable. I then use convert value to use "datediffdays" function to calculate the difference between var_datestring and current date.I schedule this workflow once a day and the workflow ends with the error belowCollection Operation Configuration:Convert value action configuration.Error received:

Hey everybody,For a project I got some questions from the GDPR officer. As a result of media pressure there urgently needed to be a public registration tool that included a workflow. We ended up with an external anonymous Nintex form where personal customer details are submitted to a SharePoint environment. The questions I have concern governance/GDPR/privacy:1) When the form is submitted and the submitter gets the message that the form was submitted successfully. Is the data stored on Nintex servers (or O365)? Is this only till Nintex is able to push the data to the SharePoint environment? Is this deleted afterwards? Or just how long does Nintex have this data?2) If a form is submitted and the SharePoint environment is temporary unavailable due to maintenance. What happens? Is the form submitted successfully and will Nintex keep trying to reach the SharePoint environment till it succeeds? Or does submitting simply fail at that moment (we could make a remark on the failed message conce

As a site administrator I can set tasks to be delegated for a time period for other site users. But how to delete task delegation for other user? As admin I can show delegations of an other user but in list the name field is not a hyperlink as when showing own delegations. By using hyperlink a dialog will be opened where I can hit a delete button.Any ideas?Kind regardsManfred

I have a SQL execute statement within my workflow, I am needing to add a regular expression that replaces apostrophes within text with an * before executing to SQL.  What pattern can I use to perform the replace of an ' with * using the regular expression before the execute statement? 

Hi everybody,I have a form where the user is asked to give a start and an end date.After giving the start date, the end date should be prepopulated with the start date, whereas this should still be editable.Cheers,mai-kel‌ ‌

Hello! I'm trying to use Call web service action in my worklow to request data from web service, which is located on IIS web site with the following list of auth providers:And I'm always getting 401 unauthorized error when just trying to get the list of available methods:   I remember, that i faced this issue before, with different serversitewebservice and fixed that by leaving only NTLM in list of providers. But now I can't do that, since we need Negotiate (and Kerberos) by design )As I understand, it just can't negotiate Kerberos and fallback to NLTM, simply giving me "Unauthorized".Any ideas are welcome!Sharepoint 2013 on-premise,  Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.2.3.2).

Phew..! I took about 10 minutes to think of how to put the question. Well, the scenario am facing is pretty weird and unexpected and it has left me no choice but to put this here on Nintex Community. And I will try my best to explain the situation I am stuck at.Okay so, below is a look of a part of my workflow where this problem is being occurredAs you can see in above image, I have a parallel action with three branches. Each branch have a state machine with two flexi tasks in it. The flexi tasks named as Owner1, Owner2 and Owner3 are the original approver tasks and are run only one time, while the tasks named as Reassigned owner1, Reassigned owner2 and Reassigned owner3 can run multiple times.see image below,When the workflow is initiated, it goes to a task for Managers approval and Manager can assign task to Owner1, Owner2 or Owner3 or all of them.Lets Suppose, I am Manager and I assigned task to Owner1 and Owner2.So far, it works fine.Now both the Owners, Owner1 and Owner2 will assi

Is it possible with Nintex Workflow 2013 to move a file from a subfolder of a document library to the root of the same library?

I have an issue tracking system that I built with a custom list, Nintex form and workflow.  I think I messed up the list (deleted a critical view - all issues) and now the list permissions are not functioning properly.  If I create a new list, will I need to create the form and workflow from scratch again or can I somehow copy them over? 

Greetings:I am displaying the results of a database lookup in a calculated field.  It all works well except in Display mode, where the string ";#" is appended to the end of the string in the calculated field control. (See image below.)  Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?  I might expect this when the display format of the database lookup is "Dropdown Menu" since the ";#" separates the value and display components, but in this case the display format  is "label" so I don't know where this string is coming from.Thanks,Bruce

I understand the inheritance of the LazyApproval terms at site collection and site level that the terms come from the phrases in the farm (as outlined in this post ).  In my farm phrases I have "approved" and at my site collection level I have "approved".  If I respond to a lazy approval email with the term "approved" I get automated response saying "Your response was not able to be interpreted. Please try again with a clear indication of your chosen outcome."If I "break" the inheritance by adding phrases at site collection level, these phrases should be taken into account when I reply to an email from a workflow.  I have added "cassy" as a term but when I reply to lazy approval for a workflow on that site I get the same error as above.  However, if I reply with "approve" it works fine.This makes absolutely no sense to me - has anyone seen this before?

Hi everybody,I have two single line text fields. The second text field should be pre-filled (but still editable) with the entry of the first text field. The second text field is only visible if a hook is set. Any ideas how to solve this?Cheers,mai-kel

It is a standard field with no CSS or other modifications , does anybody knows that issus and how to fix it?

I have a workflow designed to copy metadata from one file to another in the same list.  We write documents in Word, but publish them as PDFs and the workflow is designed so that we don't have to manually re-enter all that data a second time.Everything works fine, except for the data in a Choice column we have.  It allows for multiple selections. If I use the default setting, which copies it as a string, no data copies over.If I use the other option, Choices, Comma Delimited, the workflow errors out and I get this error:Coercion Failed: Input cannot be null for this coercion.I received the error once before while copying over data from a people-picker field where choices are delimited by semi-colons.  In that instance, I found that copying the data as a string would solve the problem and now that data copies successfully.What gives with the Comma-delimited columns not copying?  This workflow automates a lot for us and will save us steps, but it has this one tiny hiccup I can't seem to m

HiI have created 5 date columns:Today (updated by a workflow with todays date)Today+30Today+365Today-1000Calibration Due (autofills based on the date in the Calibration Certificate)I also have a status column with three choices:No Action RequiredAction RequiredAction OverdueWhat I want to do is:When the "calibration due" date is between (Today+30) and (Today+364), the status is "no action required".When the "calibration due" date is between (Today) and (Today+30), the status is "Action required"When the "calibration due" date is between (Today) and (Today-1000), the status is "Action overdue"But I can't seem to find an appropriate action!  I've set the date variables (today, today+30, etc.)  Can someone give me a bump start?!?
