Hi, I have a form which calculates discount based on certain criteria. the form is as below  While adding a new record the discount gets calculated without any issues. But when the saved record is opened for editing, the column initially brings up the value for a few seconds and then turns blank as shown below.  The formula used for fetching the discount islookup("PriceListMultiplier","ColumnForLookup",FmlHiddenCoulmnForItem,"Multi")The PriceListMultiplier List is as below with index on ColumnForLookup. Please could you advise on why this unexpected behavior is happening and a possible solution. Thanks

Hi,I've got a dropdown control with the days of the week as choices. I want to default the choice to the current day so I'm setting the default value to fn-FormatDate({Common:CurrentDate}, dddd).This works fine for the Desktop mode but when publishing the form to the Nintex Mobile App I get an error "Invalid inline function control.As far as I can see the format date runtime function is supported in mobile, I'd be amazed if the CurrentDate function isn't.Any thoughts please?

I have a workflow where I'm collection approvals from an arbitrary number of users.Nintex offers several behaviors when handling multiple approvers on a Flexi Task:First response appliesMajority must choose a specific outcomeAll must agree on a specific outcomeMajority decidesAll must agreeMy problem is that I want to collect responses from all approvers regardless of what responses have been received. All five of the above options can potentially create a situation where remaining tasks are cancelled because the appropriate conditions are met to approve or reject the task as a whole.Per this Nintex 2013 help article, I should be able to use the "Create individual tasks for all group members" checkbox to assign separate tasks to everyone, which in theory would allow me to collect all responses. However that's not the behavior I'm seeing on my workflow. It's behaving exactly as though the box is unchecked -- after the first response, remaining tasks are cancelled. Is this a bug?

I have a list A on site B.I need to perform a "workflow" on lita A, site B, using List A information inside Site AHow I do that?

I have this repeting section with list loockup  from list of suppliers, like thatList of suppliersWhy the number appears in the XML.So I can not convert correctly.I already searched the forum, but I can not find a solution.I need to pass the supplier name to the sharepoint list.How do I solve this situation?

I am new to Nintex forms and was wondering the behavior of multiple validation rules.  Once the form is clicked on (done) will it list all my validation errors ?  Or does it list only 1 validation error; I then fix that error and click on Done and then I get another validation error for the next field that failed validation, etc . ?

Note I Posted previously on my issue and am still having issues.  This post by someone else has my exact same issue.  Within a WF I am doing a Create Item.  The Doc Library has Unique Permissions and the user has Full Control permission at the library level.  The user also has Full Control permission at the Site level.The user can manually create an item within the library no problem.   However after he creates a new item in library A and the Workflow runs to create an item in libraryB he gets a workflow error..."could not creat list item..make sure the list exists and the user has permissions to add items to the list..."I have the exact same permissions yet the workflow works fine for me...how is this possible..Also, note we do not have the ability within Workflow settings to do an impersonation step via an Action Set.Lastly in the create new item (Doc Library) within the workflow I do have a Document Type selected other than Document. The Content Type contains an Excel template.  I s

I have a manual start list workflow.     I have added it as a menu item and can start it from the view menu.What I would like to be able to do is to start the workflow from a button on the form.   I noticed that the URL to start the workflow is fairly complex with guids and such.  Is there a way the link can be simplified and configured so it can be executed from a button or link on the form?

I have a field in my list called "Choice".   When completing the form, the user can pick from one to a number of choices.In a workflow, what I need to do is get a summary count for each Choice in the list.Any easy ways to do this?I had two thoughts on how to do this and both seem ugly.1.  Maintain two collections.   One a list of unique Choices.   The section collection would be the total for a particular choice.2.  Create a temporary list of the Choice and a column for the total for that Choice.

Using Nintex Forms 2013 on-premise, I created a form and set a SQL Request Control to display customer’s ID from SQL database table.Upon ID selection (field: customerID), I need to pull back 3 other fields. customerFirstName, customerLastName and customerEmail. All fields reside in same table.  SQL Request control works fine returning a single value such as:Display field:   customerIDReturning:       customerLastNameBut it doesn’t work at all when I try to return multiple values such as:Display field:   customerIDReturning:       customerLastName, customerFirstName, customerEmailI used SQL query with Concat() option and tried selecting fields using Alias name (to be used in Value field). All failed.Can it be done?How can I resolve this issue?ThanksEric

I have a workflow that is sending a workflow for people that attend a meeting which the meeting holder input the attendees in a Nintex Form and then the workflow sends meeting notes to the attendees. Part of the workflow is to loop through the attendees and query the user profile service for finding all users First and Last names. I am finding an issue with this action in the workflow. For some reason some users cannot find the user profile for some users. I find if I add the user to a separate list this seems to resolve the profile there after. However, today I was looking into the details of a workflow that was giving this error about no user found and looking behind the scenes at the userInfo list the user was listed in the list. I am not sure how to resolve this issue. I am syncing our complete AD forest daily. We starting syncing all of the other subdomain since we were only syncing one subdomain previously. I thought this change would have resolved this issue however, I am gettin

A user created a Nintex Form and I am trying to help them trouble shoot.  There are fields on the form that are restricted and can only be edited by certain SharePoint groups (Column settings > Appearance > Enabled set to Expression).  A new item gets entered by group A and they fill in appropriate information.  Group B cannot edit any of those fields, but they have 2 fields they can edit on the form.  All other fields are locked down.  This part works, but when they try to save the form, one of the other fields clears out and they can't save the form because they don't have the ability to edit it.  The field that clears out is an external data column.Has anyone seen this before?  I can't figure out why that field would remove the previously entered data when it gets saved by another user.

Is it possible to have a searchable list lookup control like the filter in Excel, where the search string can be given to reduce the list values. Please advise, Below image for demo.Thanks

Currently I have a fairly simple list consisting of 4 columns, the 2 important ones here are "Month" and "Year".  These are both "Single line of text" in SharePoint as this data is validated then passed to a SQL stored procedure.  I have changed the item on the form to be a Choice and selected it to be a dropdown to avoid user errors later (and to make it easier for the end users on mobile devices).When I'm on the desktop version of the form the following works perfectly "fn-FormatDate(Current Date, "MMMM").  This then selects the option of May as the default selected option.  This also works the same for the Year except with "yyyy" and 2016 is selected as default from the options in the dropdown list.When on the Nintex iPad App I get "Control has one or more invalid inline functions".  Upon testing, if I changed 'Current Date' to 25/05/2016 then it works perfectly, May is set to the default.  If I create a separate item for testing and set the default value to 'Current Date' it is ret

Hi All, My state machine workflow is showing some weird behavior after working fine for 150+ items. Since the start of this week approvers who are part of different states are not getting task notification email to act upon. Task is created in Workflow task list and when I am taking any action from that list it is moving further in the process but approvers are not getting emails.  I have tested with another test workflow with single step and I am getting task notification email. Both these workflows are in same environment. I checked around but couldn't found much help except this article - Nintex workflow for Office 365-Start a task process not delivering email to ‘Assigned to’ user – Office 365 Cloud Produc… by ‌. I was wondering if that is because of HTML tags of email body as pointed in article ? Is there anyone who encountered similar issue ? I'd appreciate any help in resolving the issue.Environment - Nintex o365Thanks,Rahul

Hello. I'm looking for a way to manually put a list item in Edit mode. I have a Nintex form that allows User A to submit an item to the Requests list. This list has a Processed column that defaults to No for each new item.I have a site page for User B with two panels:Panel 1 contains a web part displaying the Unprocessed Items view.When User B clicks a list item, Panel 2 appears with the list item details.I have a Save and Submit button that has an associated workflow. One of its steps is to update the Processed column to Y so that it no longer appears on the Unprocessed Items view. I can't get this edit to occur because the selected list item is in View mode. In the button's Advanced properties, I have set Enabled in View Mode to Yes, but apparently that just means the user can see the button. It doesn't make the list item itself editable.How can I change the form mode to Edit (without requiring the user to click an Edit Item button)? Can this be done in a rule associated with the pan

Hello, I am trying to use a Nintex workflow to create an item in List A upon submission of a form from List B. I would like to Query List A and check if an item exists based on a practitioner's email address. For that I have used Query action in Nintex workflow to filter based on email address. I am storing the ID and email address address using collection variables and finally using a 'For each' loop to store the collection ID value in a single line of text variable. However, I am not sure how I could let the workflow check a condition in Run if action to look for an item in the List A based on the email address and if an item doesn't exist, then create an item in List A. I have added screenshots for your reference. Please advise. Regards,Monica

All,Nintex on-prem and SP 2013I've a SP column set up as follows:If there is only 1 entry in above field (which I can see on the form) and start a work flow to send an email via a workflow the text of the ticket resolution field doesn't appear.If add another entry to the ticket resolution field, then kick off the same workflow, the second text field appears in the body of the email.How can I get the 1st text entry when there is only 1 text entry ?I've logged to history the ticket resolution field and it doesn't appear to see text.********The plot thickens****Before my workflow I have a switch which decide which other workflow to run. Before the switch the ticket resolution field is viewable and can be sent in a email.It seems to be starting the separate workflow to send the original email, it loses the ticket resolution content.

When you add a (multselect) list control, it is rendered to show 4 items and a vertical scrollbar (when there are more than 4 choices). Using custom JavaScript I've nearly tried everything (any combination to get to the <select> element in order to change its size attribute/property from 4 to a higher number) to get it changed to show e.g. 8 or 10 items along with the vertical scrollbar (in case of more items), but nothing seems to work.When using the browser's Developer pane, I can change the size value visually resulting in more items visible in the list control.It would be nice if the Nintex form rendering engine would resize the selection window to fit the control's height.

We are quite heavily using Nintex in SharePoint 2010 environment. Just need to confirm cleaning SharePoint time job cache and restarting has any bad effect on the workflows which are currently in-progress or in wait state?

I need to make a call by sending a value to the web service and get the values on to the form during runtime. I have a .asmx link which searches the inventory by unitNumber. Once unitNumber is entered on to form, I should be able to retrieve the license number and serial number on to the list either by clicking on a button or directly. Please let me know if there is any other proved solution besides using Web control request in Enterprise version.

Is there a way on Nintex mobile app to automatically push the update of a form to all users without having to ask them to keep pushing that refresh button, login/logout...etc ?Some clients have expressed their concern that this doesn't comply with their internal processes.Here is some of the comments I got: "The refresh functionality is somewhat of a concern.  Over the long term, we would want to be able to update the forms and have the new forms accessed without requiring user action.  Only having the most current version of forms available is an important part of our ISO processes."
