We have an requirement to copy previous form record data to current user entry data.We have a repeating section control in the Form where user can add multiple texboxes and enter data for them. Data is storing in an xml form to list data. For the copy previous form record data, we are making an REST API call to get previous records and bidning the controls but for repating section we are not able construct textboxes dynamically. For the previous record if we have 3 repeating section texboxes, during copy we should be able to add 3 texboxes to current form and bind xml data to it. Any help please.
I can't seem to find any working examples of how to perform a calculated value lookup that loops for each option selected in a multiple-selection list lookup.I have a list called 'Department List' in SharePoint 2013 that contains a list of departments, in a column called 'Departments', and a few lines of department specific text in a column called 'Add to email'.On my form I have a List Lookup Control called 'InvDel', that uses the Department List as a source, and displays all the departments from the list as check-boxes. This generates when the form is loaded, based on how many departments I have in the list, which is exactly what I want.I then have a 'calculated value' control, called 'Text to email'. My aim is to populate this field with the text from the 'Department List' list depending on which check-boxes have been selected by the user. This is where I am having trouble. I've tried every combination, and I can't get my calculated value lookup formula to return more than one resul

I’m not sure how to go about doing this. For a project, I need an "expanding spreadsheet" that I can input the information into. Two of the fields being needing to have their output stored in JS variables to be used elsewhere. Because the fields don’t really exist until you “Add new row”, I don’t see a way to store the output of the subsequent fields into the JS variable. Do you have any idea how I can achieve this through a repeating section?
Will the SDK2016 be released soon? Can we use the methods from 2013 in 2016 Workflow activities?
Hi, So I'm developing our first Nintex Form and Workflow to allow staff to apply for Annual leave. On my form I've a repeating section to allow multiple types of leave ie 2 days of Annual Leave with 2 day of Sick leave on one form. The Date field on my form is format as Date only. in my workflow I'm getting the xml from the repeating section and putting field into a collection. Then I loop through the collection and trying to put the data into a Date & Time variable but the workflow keeps coming back with the following error "Data type returned from the collection is incompatible with the variable to store the result in." It works fine if I store the data into a Single Line of Text Variable but i need to keep the date as Date and Time. Is this possible?
I'm trying to query two columns on a list, one with a number and another with a drop down. I want to return the results to a Collection variable I've set up called knowissuescollection to be counted later in the workflow. However I'm getting 'The variable knownissuescollection has been used more than once.' I thought I could store more than one variable as a collection? What am I doing wrong?
I have a list where users can add a known issue logged against a IT Device from another list, Each IT Device entered generates it's own unique number in a column called DeviceID. So for example you could have 'Laptop A' selected and the issues of 1) poor display and 2) fragile screen logged against it, in DeviceID it has the number '6'. What I need to happen is that as soon as the number of issues logged against an IT Device reaches 5 or more that it generates an email.The problem I've got is that the IT Device field is free text and could be anything (Palm Top B, Desktop C).I think what I need to do is to find a way in the Workflow so that when the DeviceID = 'whatever the number is' add a 1 to a variable, when variable = 5 send email.Any ideas?
In a 2016 Farm that is configured with the 4 servers using minRoles (Front End, Cache, Search and Application), which server runs the Nintex workflows?
I'm trying to populate Radio Button List Items with a Hidden Text box that gets populated on the Get List By ID and it's not working. This is also happening on just regular Radio Button List Controls that are being populated by a Yes/No SP Column. Any suggestions. Example for my text box: If the value is OPS Injury - the Hidden Radio Button List for that 'Section' should appear, get populated and check the Check Box as True.None of this is working. I'm attaching an image. This is an extremely high priority deadline project so I would love to get some thoughts.
I have 3 attachment controls with one set to default. They each have unique name and a CSS class "attCtrl."I need to be able to verify that each has been uploaded, or not null. If one is null I need to know which one. I thought I could use the name of the control to determine if it was "not empty," but I have not been able to do that.Does anyone have any advice for this?
Since the K2 Appit Upgrade last week we've been having some of the most basic action rules not functioning. Is anybody else seing problems? Example: On Form Initialization - I have a hidden text box that populates a ID of a drop down control - and it shows. After the Execute Inialization Method I have a transfer data rule populating a text field on the form with that hidden text box value. It's not working.I have tried on the Form Level and on the View Level. Suggestions? Main purpose of me doing this is I can't get a rule action to work where If that text box = 1 then Show a Tab. See attachment.

Hi, I have a workflow that create an item in another site and there is a person column. When I don’t specify any type, I get don’t have any error but the result is not what I expect, it gives me something like : NT AUTHORITYauthenticated users And when I try different return type, it goes in error, either gives that one : “Create Site Specific Item Activity Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only” when I tried display names, or that one : “Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.” (but I don’t remember when, because I tried a lot of things) I tried to use a workflow variable but the problem remains, I don’t know if it could be the solution but if it is, I don’t know what matches. I tried the user id like I found on the TechNet website : SP2010 Workflow - How to copy data from a person column to another person column? but It didn’t work either (I don’t remember if i

Dear All,I wonder if you could give me some advice please. I have a field Comments that's a multi-line field and I'm trying trigger an email whenever a new comment has been created, the problem I'm having is the false /negative emails that are sent out whenever the Item fields other than the comments field has been updated which results in a timestamp being listed in the multi-line Comments field.I need a condition or run if to send an email only when Text has been entered rather than timestamps being updated.Thanks in advance all!

Hi All, My team is facing an issue with Microsoft Silverlight on their systems where if anyone tries using the K2 BlackPearl for SharePoint app they get a screen “Install Silverlight” (for Google Chrome)/ a complete blank screen (for IE 11) We have tried searching the K2 community and other links on google to find a workaround but none of them are working for us. Can someone please provide with a solution to this issue? We have tried using this link for reference but issue still persists :http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Silverlight-Error-when-accessing-K2-Workflow-page-in-K2-for/ta-p/81536
I am executing a workflow, and at its completion I'd like to include a summary email. Is it possible to show a list view within an email? I had assumed not, so I thought I could use a 'Create Reference' step to get all the items from the list that I would like to display. If I copy that Reference Item to the email, it shows all the items just bunched together (ie 101102103104). I would ike to show the information as Unit 101, Unit 102, Unit 103, Unit 104. Ultimately, information related to each unit, each on its own line. I thought about a loop, but not sure how I'd append the information to a field that could then be displayed the way I'd like. My only other thought is to create a PDF from the list, but I can only do that in a smartform and not sure how I would trigger that form to run automatically from a workflow as this workflow is a manually run, scheduled event. Any ideas how I'd create and add this 'list' of information to an email?
