Hi, Very recently, i got error 'ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is closed.'  from the K2 Side where i try to invoke workflow from a asp.net code. Once i got this exception in the application logs. I try to open the K2 Mgmt Studio to see the Error Profile.  I got the same exception(s) in k2 Mgmt, Smart Object tester too.  then i checked the db server which is working fine.The error clear states that its' related to code. when the reader object try to get db objects information when the connection is not available.any comments on this, how to resolve it.  Is it a k2 bug or what it is!!!!Regards,Surya 

Hello folks:Strange thing. I've got a Request Data task, and on that task I have a form (e-i-e-i-o).The form, however, has decided it hates me and when I double click any of the controls on it, it only gives me the "Name" field:Here are some things I've tried:- Exporting & Importing the XML didn't work.- Different computers (just in case...)- Double clicking the control AND clicking the control settings button- Tried in both Desktop & Mobile- Re-adding the SharePoint connected items does not work, displays the same as above (but without the "this is a linked control", of course)Of note: - Adding a fresh, new, unconnected field gives me the normal control options... but there are a lot of things on this form and I'd rather they just worked again. edit: while this gives me all the options, it does not let me save the field. oy.- Form version 2.9.0.0- Workflow version 3.2.3.2- It was all working peachily a month or so ago.Thoughts?

Hi All,How can i show the validation message at the bottom of form controls?

Hi all,In setting the authentication option for "Execute SQL" it requires the username and password to be hardcoded in.. this means that when the password is changed (we have mandated password changes), the workflow just errors as the authentication fails.Is there any way around this limitation?

I am using Nintex 365, App Version NFO 1..2.3.0 .I am working with a Choice control. I enter my two Choice options as Answer, Choice 1 and Answer, Choice 2. However, when I save this, I get four choices (Answer, Choice 1, Answer, Choice 2) rather than two.How can I format this so I only have two options? Thank you.

Hi all,This is a beginner questions on Formatting Rules in Nintex Forms.

Hi All,    We have a requirement to send a reminder mail with consolidated list of item URL along with the task link to action on the task for the particular user under whom the tasks are pending. I have achieved till getting the Item Url(String format - collection) and Task Url(String format - collection) of the assigned user and I'm stuck in the state to change those string urls as Hyperlink and send it in the body of the mail. Is there any way/work around to achieve this task?Note: I have created a Site workflow in order to schedule it to run weekly.

Hi,2 facets here.Just started working on an O365 form using the Mobile Tablet app layout. I've used a Choice column rendered as Radio buttons, which shows correctly in the designer, but when viewing the form in the app itself, the choice column shows as a dropdown list. Any experience of this and why it's happening? Interestingly, I've been testing the app on Android, but having just tested it on Windows, I do get Radio buttons.I also created a rule to hide a panel based on the selection of a dropdown list elsewhere on the form. This doesn't seem to be working. The formula is simply Selector!="Approach". No obvious reason why this isn't working.Also, when I tested the app with Windows, I had no ability to take photo using the attachments control, unlike the Android app that allows me to choose a file, an existing picture, take a photo etc. Inconsistencies like this will make it very difficult to develop on the app.If anyone can tell me what other things the Mobile App struggles with, o

Hi, I have been working with Nintex for a short period of time and have a requirement to copy a repeating section from an item to another item's repeating section.  (details:)  the 1st item is a template with a part number, as the 'Title' key, with a repeating section which holds the dimensions of the part.  The user will create an item (Inspection item(document)) which does a list lookup, finds the part number, and needs to copy the repeating section in the template to the 2nd item being created.  On the template item I have a field which shows the XML of the repeating section.   How can I get the repeating section copied into the 2nd item's repeating section?  Can this be done with the List Lookup control?   I thought I could reverse the process by creating a text field in the 2nd item-Inspection sheet- and during the list lookup the xml is copied in  and the field textfield2 is connected to the repeating section2 .  will this work?

We just updated Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.1.4.0) to Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.2.3.2) in our test region. As shown in the attachment, the My section is missing in the designer. I browsed through settings in Central Admin, but didn't see settings specific to My Snippets. I also did not see in the release notes that this has gone away, and I didn't encounter any other posts reporting this issue, but I just may not be finding it. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance!Eric

Hi,I am using Nintex Workflow 2013 to send a notification with details of a request item of a simple SharePoint list.Each time i edit the notification's content (via HTML Editor of the action), an empty space character is keep being inserted automatically to the end of every row/cell of my table I've built in HTML.That can be noticed in the HTML code-behind of the notification received in Outlook (as the <br> tags):This is how the email is looks like:Any ideas for how this problem can be solved?Thanks,Daniel

We are migrating Lotus Notes forms to Nintex Forms and Workflow 2010.  The Notes forms have custom code which call web services to build drop down lists (for department, location, all employees).  We want this same functionality on our Nintex Forms - prepopulated drop down lists.  What is the recommended method for reading web services and populating a drop down list at the time the form is rendered to the user for use?  The data can be pulled back using SQL statement to database also.

Hi,is it possible to add/remove a slot dynamically using Management API. The closest I have tried is workflowServer.CreateActionInstanceRight(oActInstRight);workflowServer.DeleteActionInstanceRights(arTmpActInstRights); However this just removes the worklist item but not the slot. I have a outcome rule "All Slots = Approved". Is there a way to achieve this?Thanks.

I can't find any information on what security group a user needs to be in to 'approve' a workflow approval request.Does anyone know?  Is it a SharePoint Approvers group that they need to be a part of?

I have a review & approval workflow running on a document library with check in/out required - it's been fiddly to set up (due to field updates) but I have it running now on item created.Problem - when an item has been 'modified' after the review stage and the document owner updates the properties using nintex form, the document is automatically checked out so the properties can be updated. Once the form is saved, the document remains checked out, and often the owner forgets to check it back in manually, and consequently the workflow does not start.My question is, can check in be done in the form? Ideally the workflow would do this, but it doesn't run when the document is in check out mode. (Or rather it gets stuck on 'Starting' )Any advice would be much appreciated!

SQLUM management form created on K2 smartforms.

Scenario : a site workflow will read a configuration list which has details of other lists like (list name, list GUID, list Url, query condition, query view fields etc), based on the input the site workflow needs to query those lists and given condition to get respective view fields data for further processing.Expected query result column values will vary for each list been queried and will be mentioned as part of <ViewField>. Question:Is it possible to have ViewFields to be added dynamically using QueryList or Call WebService workflow actions? If yes how, else any alternate option.Thanks in advance.

I am looking for a possibility to grant the permission to approve a task that is not assigned to the current user. In other words:Users that are members should be able to approve/reject a workflow task even if this task is not assigned to them.How can I manage to do this?

We have a document library with 'publicly' available Word documents. Within that library we a folder where authors upload documents that they are currently working on. I am now in the process of creating a workflow that the authors can trigger once the document is finished. The document should then be converted to PDF and copied to the root folder of the library. This all works fine, but.....The documents have multiple tags from a termstore assigned to them (e.g. language) which also need to be present once the PDF has been created and copied. How can I set those tags? I know that there is a function "Update item" but i am not quite sure how to handover these tags from the original DOCX file to the PDF.Hope someone can help me :-)SimonEdit: Basically I need a way to save the path to the new file as a variable ...hmmmm....

We are testing an upgrade from 2013 to 2016 SharePoint. One of our WF Content databases was accidentally set to be the WF Config database. We need to remove it but there is no documentation on this.We retracted Nintex solutions, and removed the database from SQL Server. We cannot now deploy the Nintex solutions. Does anyone have any ideas. We are thinking of uninstalling Nintex entirely and re-installing it. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
