Hello,I have a form with a Yes/No field and a choice field with dropdown.I want to change the value of my dropdown depending if the Yes/No field is checked or not (I do so, so that user can still force the choice manually afterward if needed).I can not succeed to trigger my custom javascript depending if the box is checked or not.The client ID is defined for both fields.My method used to work for other type of fields, but not for the yes/no it seems.for exemple, if my custom js is:function test(){alert('hello world');}‍‍‍‍if I add test() into the custom validation of the field:yes/no--> js is not triggered if I check or uncheck the boxchoice field with dropdown-->js is triggered whenever I choose one of the dropdown elementAny ideas?

Hi there Nintex community, I am having an issue with the Nintex forms lookup list controls change event handler, whereby the event handler is firing as the form is loading. The handler have alerts that are displayed are fired on change of the selected item, so these are being show as the form is loading, which is not good  I searched the Nintex forums for the issue and found a couple of posts indicating that in newer version of Nintex Forms, the lookup control has been changed to load data asynchronous after page loaded. So based on this I moved the registration of the handler to NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady. I also added; NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {       var EngagementType = NWF$('#' + ddlEngagementType);    EngagementType.change(function (e) {        if (e.originalEvent!=undefined){            if (EngagementType.val()!="")            {                alert("Engagement type changed");            } I also read in a post that the lookup change eve

I have a Nintex form with two workflows. The first workflow is a manual start. The second workflow is the state machine with two states (there may be more states added.) Each state sends an email and is triggered by the completion of a control in the form. The second workflow (the state workflow) looks like this.If I set the state workflow to start when an item has been completed, the first state runs. However, the manual workflow needs to be completed first. If I have the setting on when an item is modified, the first state of the workflow ends up running a second time once the second state has been completed.  I think the first state runs the second time because it sees the form as being modified.  Is this the case? If so, what do I need to set so the first state does not run twice?(I don't have a Run If on the first state as it kicks off when the form is modified. Also, there are no other workflows running.)Thank you.

is there a way how can i set permission for Fields like it's offered for item.

After a user gets a Flexi Task assignment and clicks on "OK" (for approval) the user is taken directly to the home page of the site and NOT the list where the task lives.  This is very confusing for the user.  How do I have the navigation go to the list and not the home page.The last oddity is in order for the user to approve the Flexi Task workflow for some reason they need Contribute/Edit access at the site level.  I only want to give approvers contribute or edit access at the list level and not at the site level.  Note at the list settings I have disabled inherited permissions and replaced with unique permissions and gave everyone Edit access, but this did not work.  Users can only approve if they have Contribute access at the site level.  Users need to have Read access at the site level at least that is the way we initially designed the site.  What am I doing wrong ?

Ken Hawkins‌ wanted a specific State Machine solution. For some reason my .jpg file didn't send when I tried to reply through Nintex. So I am creating this post. The question is:Create a state machine. One of the states will be for the initiator. Depending if the approvals are done separately or all at one time will determine if there are 5 more states or 1. If any of the approvals are rejected, change the state to Initiator and it will go back to the Initiator state branch. Put the logic in there to check that it is rejected and do what needs to be done. But I'm not clear on how you would set up the state machine for this scenario (new to Nintex and Sharepoint, old NotesDomino developer :) ). Can you send me an example? Thank you.I'm not sure if I completely understood, but here is part of a solution I provided. I left out actions he would need to create and a variable would need to be created so if it was rejected the Initator would no to do something different than the actions when

On Nintex Forms 2013 version all works well, but when using the same js on 2016 this does not work?I have a dropdown on the form with the client id stored in a js variable. The var name is myCompanyDropdown.this line of code sets the dropdown to a specific value, eg TEST:NWF$("#" + myCompanyDropdown + " option:contains(TEST)").attr("selected", true);But, when i try the same on the SP2016 version, this does not work?It returns the object:{ [functions]: , context: { }, jquery: "1.10.1", length: 0, prevObject: { }, selector: "#ctl00_ctl40_g_8a1e4ee4_92ec_4600_9262_776710cee826_ctl00_ListForm2_formFiller_FormView_ctl30_ecb50df3_9df4_48e9_8e38_2091e83d368a_hid option:contains(TEST)"}i found out that when i run this code: console.log(myCompanyDropdown); it returns thisctl00_ctl40_g_8a1e4ee4_92ec_4600_9262_776710cee826_ctl00_ListForm2_formFiller_FormView_ctl30_ecb50df3_9df4_48e9_8e38_

 Symptoms A checked box in a checkbox list adds the XML from the selection, not the value. Instead of putting the value from the Value column into the control, it now puts this "[VALUE]" where it should have just put the value. Diagnoses This is currently expected behavior when using the checkbox list. Resolution A feature request has been logged to be able to return only the value instead of the control XML.As a workaround, a radio button list is being used instead, as the checkbox list only requires one selection. The radio button list does not present this issue.
