HI,I have inherited a form where a list lookup field was being pre-populated based on a value in the URL. Previously it had been doing this with some Javascript but since the last update that doesn't work any more.NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {setLookupFields();}); function setLookupFields() {if (document.location.pathname.indexOf("/NewForm.aspx")>1) {var varParent = NWF$("#" + varAssuranceProgramme).val(); var varNewID = NWF$("#" + varProgrammeIDNew).val();varDropDown = ko.dataFor(NWF$("#" + varAssuranceProgramme)[0]); varDropDown.initialValue = varNewID;}}But since the update to 2.10.0 this javascript (among others) doesn't work any more. Is there any other way to pass the value to the list lookup via the NewForm URL?

I have a need to extract the first 50 words from a string using Nintex Workflow (2013 On Prem).Using a regular expression and extract, it works to a point as long as there is no punctuation. However, it's a news paragraph I'm trying to limit to a certain number of words, so punctuation is a must .  I  then want to create some HTML code to include a Read More Link after the truncated text.My Goal...Thanks for any pointers...T.

I would like to have a textbox to display a small block of text depending on the users choice from a choice field. Example being, Choice A makes information box display text. Choice B, different text in box. Choice C, third set of information in box.I must be missing something. I can't really figure out how to accomplish this. I thought I could make a multi-line textbox, make a validation rule saying Choice=="Choice A" and then put my text for the "Message", but it hasn't worked so far. Can someone set me straight here?

Hi Everyone,It seems that in O365 don't have a feature of scheduling a workflow. Is there a way to create another workflow that will act as a scheduler and run workflows automatically. I can't use any 3rd party tool because we don't have any.Cheers,Rogelio

I created an approval workflow and customized the task form. The form looks great, except for a message that appears at the top of the form, "The content of this item will be sent as an e-mail message to the person or group assigned to the item."  How can I get rid of this message?  (see attached print screen).

Can anyone explain why my Request Approval action is always approving a request regardless of whether the decision is Approved (value 0) or Rejected (value 1)?

I have a simple form with a save and complete button which makes an update to a list which initiates a workflow.  When the form closes, I want the view on the list to show the resulting list updates of the workflow, but the workflow doesn't finish before the user returns to the list view.  Reloading the page manually then shows the updates.Is there a way to hold the form open until the WF is finished or similar?

I am trying to use a "Create Item" on a SP2010 workflow to create a new list item in a second list.When that item is created, I would like for it to start a Nintex Workflow.No matter what I do I cannot get this to work.  The Nintex workflow will never start.  Does anyone know how to force it to trigger on a create from a SP2010 workflow?

Hello,Can someone help me with this error.This happens occasionally, several workflows complete and then 2,3 of them does not.Thanks!

I know there are web services in Nintex but from what I understand they are predominately at the site collection level. What web services are available at the farm level? Ideally, I would like to call a web service to get the list of tasks a user has available or call a web service to get the list of requests a user has issued.Mike Trouard

I have a document approval workflow that uses a state machine to route approval through three groups, sequentially. After an approval group approves, I added "Set Field Value" steps to set three variables (approver name, comments, and date) that are columns within the respective document library.However, the when the workflow completes, and I check those fields, the values are empty. The workflow steps look to have completed successfully, and I even set workflow variables and then logged them, to check that the data passed correctly, and the data WAS set to the workflow variables and presented correctly in the history log.However, the data did not get set to the field in the current item, as it was supposed to. No error was thrown, it just didn't happen. I set field values at the start of the workflow, and they do update, but once I enter the state machine, the set field value actions stop working.  I tried replacing set field with update item, and that did not work either.The data I a

I am having an issue with a workflow. It fails on a run if which is just checking to see if a value equals no. It then sends an email which then I am getting the error Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type. I am not sure what causes this or how to fix it. I also know I can do the same thing on a different sharepoint list and it works fine. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

e.g.If(AND(Category<"28", Category>="21", InitVal>="50000000” ),"Cat4","")If(AND(Category>="21",Category<"28",InitVal<"50000000" ),"Cat3","")If(AND(Category<"28", Category>="21", InitVal<"50000000”, InitVal>="5000000” ),"Cat3","")If(AND(Category<"28", Category>="21", InitVal<"5000000”, InitVal>="1000000” ),"Cat3","")If(AND(Category<"28", Category>="21", InitVal<"1000000” ),"Cat3","")What I'm trying to do, is have just one calculated value on my form incorporating the above if statements.Does anyone know how to do this.I want it to work like:if it's this or this then blahblah  or    if it's this or this then blahblah etc.To behave like a case statement ideallyI've tried quite a few ways of getting the result but it just freezes the form when reloaind it.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Kind regardsJulian

I'm trying to set up a rule on a form control that will make the control invisible if the current user matches either of two Person or Group columns on the list item.  This works to match one of the columns:But this does NOT work to match either of the two columns.  When I use this condition, the control is always visible:I've tried using different syntaxes, but nothing has worked for the "or" condition.Further, even with the working version above, it only works if Person 2 is the only person in that column.  That is, it doesn't work if the column is configured to allow multiple people in the column and the current user is one of multiple people in the Person 2 column.  I would like it to work in that situation.Does anyone have ideas about how to do either of these things?

Hi - I have a SharePoint list that contains 'tokens' (short text codes).  I would like users to be able to visit the site, click a button or link and display the next 'unissued' token in the list.  The workflow would then update the status field for that token record as 'issued'.  How would I do this using Nintex?

I'm trying to use a Site workflow to run a List Workflow on a particular item in a document library by using the Call Web Service - StartWorkflow action. I receive the following error message: Error returned from server: <soap:Fault xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Server was unable to process request. ---> Value does not fall within the expected range.</faultstring>I have double-checked that the file URL works (I purposely input an incorrect URL and received a "Could not find the file to start workflow on" error instead), so it would appear that the issue is in invoking the workflow on the item. The workflow exists and is associated with the library. The workflow can be fired manually on an item in the library. Any ideas on what could be causing this? 

Hello All!I have been reading mixed reviews about Nintex workflow size. I am having strange things happen and I think it's because of the size of my workflow but I am unsure of how to reduce the size and give users what they want. The strange things include: Not saving, error saying "Out of Memory" or "Undefined", branches switching locations, things randomly changing on my flexi task form, etc.My workflow is pretty simple. Users are assigned a task with "Flexi Task" or "Request Review". I want the users to review the entire form (and in some cases, make changes) plus add additional data as needed. So what I did is I exported my form and then imported it into the flexi tasks. The form does have some show/hide panels but no JavaScript. Does importing the form to the flexi tasks dramatically increase the size of the workflow??? How can I get around this if that is the case?Below are my specs:SharePoint list size: 135 ColumnsNumber of Workflow Actions: 55 Actions (8 are flexi tasks, and t

The user can log a know issue against a IT Device added to a list called 'Devices'. This is the Workflow I've set up:I've set up a Workflow with a Run If Action below. So the email needs to be sent out if the number of issues logged against a Device is 5 or more. So far I've got an email sending out if there are 5 Known Issues generally. So would it be the Run If I would set up and how would I set these conditions? 

I have a form that I want to use the standard thank you page redirect if the user selects the canned "Save" button.I also have a custom button that would "save" the current form contents (NewForm.aspx)  and redirect the user to a fresh form to enter another item.I am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out the javascript to submit and redirect to NewForm.aspx ,  redirect works but submit is not working ....$(this.form).submit()window.location.replace("https://************************/sites/SupportRequest/NewForm.aspx");

Hi, I have a number field which requires conditional validation.If an option above is selected, then the number field is unable to be left blank (but it may be 0 in value)I have tried the following validation rule (see attached Capture1.jpg).With this rule, I get 99% success. But I am unable to populate the field with a 0 (zero).Why not?Is there a change to the validation perhaps? I've tried everything I can without successnote I have tried with single quotation marks IE '' and double quotation marks IE ""ThanksCarl

 Symptoms Field Required message for Autonumber Diagnoses I have a smartobject for a SQL table.The primary key is a field called ID and this is an autonumber, allow nulls is turned off.I have tried building the smartobject in a number of different ways with the same result...Whenever I use a Create rule "Execute a smartobject method" on a smartform, the ID field is not configurable. But when the rule is run from a smartform I receive the error message "The following field is required for Create: ID".This field should not be required, I've built dozens of other smartobjects, with autonumbers and they work as expected. What is going wrong? Resolution Changing the table schema from:ID primary key, allow Null = noField2, allow null = noField3, allow null = noField4, allow null = yesField5, allow null = noTo:ID primary key, allow Null = no.Field2, allow null = yesField3, allow null = yesField4, allow null = yesField5, allow null = yesrefresh the service instance and republished the SMO.  

All,SP/Nintex 2013 on-premI've created the following workflow:It queries a list and then produces a report which is emailed out. It's all find and dandy except, there is one collection variable which outputs it's data as i:0#.w|domainusername .Where should I put my remove claims action set so that the output is as a 'readable' display name, I assume this needs to go into another collection  ?ThanksAndrew
