Dear Nintex Community,   I have a question regarding the use of the continuous ID. I would like to have a field in my Nintex form where a continuous request number is automatically generated, which should always look like this "DEAL CR-1" The beginning "DEAL CR-x" should always be there and the ID at the end should be added instead of the x. How can I best achieve this?   Kind Regards,   Florian

Hi! I can't add multiple users to the task field (not assignees) when it is created from workflow. My steps: Create a task content type using workflow (ToDo Task action) Create list column (ex. name: 'nextassign') on task list and add him to task content type  In workflow, create a variable "user or group" type (ex name: 'nextassignvar') and set the default value for multiple users Using the ToDo Task action create a task with 'nextassign' equal to workflow variable 'nextassignvar' Result: Task is created, but 'nextassign' field is empty. However, if you try to update an task with this value, the value is set in the field. When creating an item in a regular list, there is no problem. Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi guys,   I know this has been already talked about but I can´t seem to find the issue with my code.   I have the following function which takes a client id javascript variable (from nintex forms) and a lookup id and sets the control. function setDropdownLookupValue(control, lookupId) { //If 0 is passed, use the SelectValueMask as option value to look for const option_value = lookupId > 0 ? lookupId : NWF.FormFiller.Functions.SelectValueMask; // Nintex selects a hidden input field when accessing the lookup via js variable const hiddenInput = NWF$("#" + control); // By replacing the _hid by nothing, the selector will give us the choice field const choiceId = control.replace("_hid", ""); //"Unselect" each option in the dropdown NWF$(`#${choiceId} option`).attr("selected", false); //Store the correct choice field by value const choice = NWF$(`#${choiceId} option[value='${option_value}']`); //Select it choice.attr("selected", "selected"); //Read data-nfchoic

 Symptoms When registering a V4 OData service against the OData Service broker, we get the following error:      This happens when using both K2 Management and SmartObject Service tester to register to service instance.  Diagnosis From our documentation, we have only tested up to Version 3.0 of OData   http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.7/default.htm#servicebrokers/k2odataservicebroker/k2odataservicebroker.htm Solution Currently, K2 does not support OData version 4. This will require a re-write of the existing broker.    Possible workarounds:  Use OData version 3   Create a web service as an intermediary between K2 and OData endpoint

Hi Everyone,   I'm trying to query attachment file names items in a SharePoint list. I've got the xml content I need (I think), but there's an "m: properties" item in front of the data I want (FileName). I tried searching various sources but couldn't figure out how to get around the "m:properties" to get to FileName.    Based on some other posts, here's what I've tried so far with no luck:  - //d:FileName - //*[local-name()=FileName]   Here's a snippet of the xml:  <m:properties><d:FileName>IF_MIDAS_1page.pdf</d:FileName><   Can anyone help me handle the "m:properties" properly to get to the file name?     Thanks!

Hi, I've got a workflow that starts with a 'Request data' task and I'd like to capture some comments during that task. Unlike a flexitask, comments aren't included by default.   Next we enter a state machine where a flexitask is created with a follow up action and I want the comment to be included from the first step. In the flexitask if I include the 'Approver Comments' variable I see the name, date and time of the first 'Request data' task but there are no comments - which I expect, there's no comments box in the Request data task.   I thought if I can collect my own comments I could set them in the 'ApproverComments' field in the first task then they'd be included in the next flexitask, but it didn't work as expected. The comment section is still blank.   I wonder if this is possible? Ideally, I'd have them so they work with the standard 'Approver Comments' because I'm relying on this variable for the rest of the comments. As it's a state machine it could come back around to this fl

Hi, I would like to hide a bunch (40) field when they're empty in displayMode. If possible I would rather not create 40 separate rules to do so.    So I would like to use an expression: Hide when '=and(Is Display Mode,!{current_field})' something like this. And apply the rules to all fields.      Is there a way to do this?   Thank you!  

I have a link in the structural navigation of my SharePoint site.  I want it to dynamically change to connect to the newest file in a document library once it is updated.  Is there a way for me to have a workflow start when a new file is added to the document library and then change the link in my structural navigation to be the link to that newly added file?   Any help is appreciated!!!

I have three (3) panels side by side. Each panel has rules to hide individual items based on a dropdown selection. Each label and control has its own rule and none of the controls overlap or touch the panel border. Everything looks good until I run it. The height of the form changes to 613px and ignores the panel with a height larger than that. The save and cancel buttons also cover the panel. I used developer tools to check for errors and there none. There are four (4) warnings.  Does anyone know what is happening to the form?       

My workflow that has an "Exchange Online create calendar item" action has been working fine for several months then suddenly this week the workflow suddenly got suspended every time it ran. The error is "The username or password is invalid." Our exchange team and sharepoint team have checked it and they are not seeing any issues on their side. As i browse the forum i also saw the ApplicationImpersonation solution but that also didn't resolve the issue.   Is there anything wrong with the email i'm using to create calendar item? or maybe it is a permission issue? Any suggestions or ideas will be a great help to me.   Thank you.

I have a workflow where multiple users are assigned tasks to review a site page using a Flexi-task. I want the workflow to take actions based on each Assignees outcome and not wait for all Assignees to respond.  For example, if the first Assignee's outcome is "Questions", I want a the workflow to set a variable, then enter a state machine immediately instead of waiting for the other Assignees to respond.   Is this possible?  Do I run a parallel action? I've attached a screenshot of what I have so far.  

Can someone confirm if I can export Nintex Classic form from SharePoint 2013 and import it in SharePoint 2010?    Yes, I'm going backward i.e. from SP 2013 to SP 2010.   Thanks in advance.

It's Wild Theories Monday here as I track down possible explanations for a Web Service Call that ran but didn't work.    SharePoint 2016 on premises workflow in production that works and hasn't been changed in months. A web service call action in the workflow is copies a document from one library to another. It normally does this just fine. In one instance, the document simply doesn't copy. Looking at the workflow history flowchart, the call web service action is green, the error handling action didn't run (indicating no error) but the document didn't copy.      The error handling is configured thusly:     Several actions further down in the workflow I have another web service call that uses the same blnWebServiceError variable to capture an error.    Is it possible that Nintex is batching these two web service calls, both actions are running nearly simultaneously and setting the same variable before the Nintex workflow processing resumes, and that whichever web service call finished

Hello,   I have a Site Workflow in SharePoint that queries a List with a Person or Group field called "Name" and compares to another List and the Created By field. The filter for the query that I cannot get working is:   Name (Person or Group field) = Created By (Person or Group field)   This query always returns an empty result. When I have emailed both values to me for debugging purposes, they match perfectly, so it looks like the query should return values.   Would anyone know what I'm missing? This one has me stumped.

Hi! I made a custom control from the example https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/Create-a-Custom-Control-for-Nintex-Forms-On-Prem-2013/ba-p/76828 . This works, but in my case the control has several parameters (for example: value, ID). How can I pass both of these values to the fields of a list item?   Best regards

Encountering this issue when Nintex Powershell is executing. Our configuration was working before then suddenly we're encountering this message. Nothing has changed in the setup and in the PS script.    System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Connecting to remote server <Server Name> failed with the following error message : An unknown security error occurred. For more information, see the about_Remote_Trouble. 

Thank you for your time. I'm having problems with an inline function fn-Remove. fn-Remove({WorkflowVariable:StrOption}{WorkflowVariable:StrZero}{WorkflowVariable:StrNum1})   The result is -fn-Remove(Enter Choice #1, Enter Choice #2, Enter Choice #3015)- This function and others also do not work.   This one works as expected: fn-Length({WorkflowVariable:StrTrim1})   Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi All,   Does anyone know if it is possible to Query a list and have the count displayed on a start form before initiating a full workflow?   I have a site workflow that a user would need to be able to confirm the number of items on the list before starting the workflow. They have asked that the total appear on the start form and give them an opportunity to choose to continue or go back and edit the list.    I can't seem to find any where this has been done. I have looked at using a smaller workflow that simply does the count and then starts the main workflow if the condition = yes. But I cant figure out how to make the form interactive.    Please advise

I have a form that I added a button to update a field and it was working properly but now it stopped working so when I click on it gives me an error message.   ERROR:  This Control is currently disabled.  You might not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an object or item, or the control might not work in this context.   I am the SCA for the sharepoint site so I shoudl have access to the form.  Has any one ran into this same issue before?      

Hi there, I'm getting intermittent errors with my workflows where I assign a flexi-task (same with task) with reminders and/or an escalation in one web app. After the task is created and I receive the email telling me I've got a task I receive 'response no longer required' when I'm expecting a reminder (I've got the reminders set for a few minutes for testing). It's been on and off which is the strange part where I thought I've solved it only to return. I've now been able to associate an exception in the uls logs that line up exactly with the errors, and they don't occur when the workflow runs without issues.     RunWorkflow: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: <Error><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Compilation failed. This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms." /></Error> at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPNoCodeXomlCompiler.LoadXomlAssembly(SPWorkflowAssociation association, SPWeb web) at Micro

I have a Responsive Form that I have applied a theme to that does not fully work for a Choice control rendered as buttons. The color applies to the buttons when hovered over, and when clicking the button, but once your cursor moves away from the button, it goes back to the default Nintex Orange. Has anyone else this this kind of issue? We are using SharePoint On Prem 2016 with the most up to date version on Nintex Forms and Workflows.
