I'm having additional issues in one of the initial parts of one of the workflows I've been working on. The first list it runs on has a lookup column, where it gets a DATE from a column in another list.  I'm trying to get the value from this lookup column to convert to TEXT (instead of DATE), but I keep getting an error when trying to do this.  At the moment, the error comes up when I try to define the first variable (a DATE type...which further confuses me, because the lookup is a DATE type as well).   I've included pics of the workflow.  Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it?  

I'm not an expert so please help if you can: I have posted the screen shot along with the write up.  /sites/GRPTiffanyAvinSandbox/Lists/EmployeePersonnelWF/Attachments/30/TEST page.docx  2/13/2019 9:18 AM Commenthttps://mckessoncorp.sharepoint.com/sites/GRPTiffanyAvinSandbox//_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/sites/GRPTiffanyAvinSandbox/Lists/EmployeePersonnelWF/Attachments/30/TEST page.docx')/copyto(strnewurl='/GRPTiffanyAvinSandbox/Employee%20Documents 2/13/2019 9:18 AM CommentBadRequest - {"error":{"code":"-2147024809, System.ArgumentException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Server relative urls must start with SPWeb.ServerRelativeUrl"}}}_______________________{Workflow Context:Current site URL}‌/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('{Variable:AttachmentURL}‌')/copyto(strnewurl='/GRPTiffanyAvinSandbox/Employee%20Documents/{Variable:AttachmentFileName}‌',boverwrite=true) Link to the orginal post:http://www.vadimtabakman.com/nintex-workflow-for-office-365-copy-attachments-to-do

I have a rule where if "No" is selected on a question, a reason is required. In the Panel I have multiple Yes/No checkboxes: -Column1 (Default 'No') -Column2 (Default 'No') -Column3 (Default 'No') -Column4 (Default 'No')   I would like to have at least one checkbox marked Yes. Is that possible validating the panel? Im not sure the best way to approach this is , unless I use Javascript; Which Im not at all strong at. Thank you in advance!

Hi Nintex Community,   I've created a Nintex form for users to submit an entry. This entry will be routed for 3 levels of approvals (Team Lead > Manager > Group Manager). The nintex form and nintex workflow has been set up and all is working fine.   However, is there a way to display (on the form) at which stage of approval it is at? (something like the image below). Please note that i'm using the "responsive form" instead of the "classic form"   Appreciate your help!   Thank you

I'm new to NINTEX. I have to archive a list based on completion status and date.  I need to parse the date so that completed items can be written to a new file based on the year.  How do I separate year from the date?

Hello community,we use Nintex forms and nintex workflow as standard (server)licenses in our company (SharePoint 2016 onPrem). Now the wish arose that lists in nintex-forms should be automatically saved in pdf in the workflow. There are 2 solutions for this "problem", which can be found on the internet. One solution would be "Muhimbi" and the other one would be "vadimtabakman". There is now the consideration to switch to the enterprise license, because it would probably only be possible there.Now my question:- which action is stored in the enterprise license, which contains the action? unfortunately i can't find a suitable overview with all actions in the enterprise- is there perhaps now a standard nintex action on this topic or still the detour with the temp.word action(vadimtabakman)?thanks a lot for your feedback andbest regards Mike

I have a list stores12,000 items. I need to create a process to check the expiry date on each item and send email if expired.   What is the most efficient way to do it? To use Nintex Site Workflow to call the workflow on each item to check the expiration date or to use Sharepoint Information Management Policies retention rule to check the expiration date on each item and call the workflow if expired.

Hi,   I've built a simple workflow (see picture below) which, after some initial configurations, executes two loops. The 1st loop "über alle Pfad-Ebenen" takes each path string from a sequence of path strings and the 2nd loop "für jedes EINORDNUNGS-Element" compares each of these path strings with a collection of strings. Nothing complicated.     Now, as seen within the picture, every workflow element needs far less than 1 second for its individual operation (seen in the status "Durchschnittliche Dauer"). The two collections (lists) are 3 and 5 items long, which gives no more than 15 iterations of each of the inner workflow elements. These contain just one RegEx comparison and one check operation. So the workflow should be executed very fast.   But as seen within within the first workflow block, the overall operation takes up more than 3 minutes (marked in blue), before the two loops are completed and activities further down in the workflow are executed.   What could cause this time d

I have a Document Approval workflow that will be manually triggered. The workflow works fine when I trigger it. I added a Start Form for the user to Enter the manager name who should approve the Document. After this When I enter the manager name and click OK on the start form, I get an error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x8102008A", and the workflow is not starting.  If I delete the Start form the workflow starts and goes fine. Can you please help with what could be wrong here and how this can be addressed

Hi,   I am creating a workflow in order to pre-fill specific attribute values into a corresponding document's multi-select lookup column. In doing so, I want to auto detect appropriate attribute values respective to the (sub)folder location where the file was dropped into.   So, when a user drops a file into a (sub)folder within my document library, I check if the (sub)folder string consist of certain words managed within the appropriate SharePoint list. When matches are found, I put the found word(s) into a collection variable colAttributeValues. These values I want to insert into the dropped element's multi-select lookup field.   1st try I though that a multi-select field would resemble a collection (i.e. a list type variable), but I can't choose any collection variable from my workflow variables list within the "set a field value" action for the corresponding multi-select lookup column. Only single-valued variables are shown.   2nd try I then tried to convert the collection values f

We have a form which will be used to kick off a Create Site Workflow using Nintex Workflows.  Rather than waiting for the workflow to validate whether the URL exists already or not, a better solution would be to have the form validate that the URL exists or does not.  I can see a scenario where we would want to validate that the parent site exists but the requested subsite does not.  I started a solution where a calculated field is used to generate both the parent and site URL extension but not sure how to validate that it exists using a rule or some custom code.  Any ideas?

I have a repeating section that I am manipulating in various ways.  One of the ways I am doing so is by deleting the last row b using the following Javascript:   NWF$('.rsdata .nf-repeater-row:last').find('.nf-repeater-deleterow-image').click(); (The CSS of the repeating section is "rsdata".)   I am also trying to delete the first row of the repeating section.  I've tried to change "last" for "first" but that has not worked.  Also, I am trying to delete a row in the middle (not the first or last).  Is there a way to delete it using a sort of "indexing" method?  Any help is appreciated!   Thank you, Owen

Hi there, I need to revalidate users that were previously entered into an item in a People Picker field. Otherwise if users that have since been disabled in AD will cause a workflow error when the permission workflow runs.   It seems the default SharePoint people field has a Validate() function (not much documentation on it though), but I *believe* I won't be able to select it in the form (like you can do with MM fields) as Nintex has created their own from scratch (which is why we have to use the NF PeoplePickerAPI)?   So far using JS I've been able to get the users from the field, and use the Nintex PeoplePickerAPI to search for the users. It seems if the AD account is enabled the returned id will be domainusername, and will include the claims part i:0#w|domainusername if they're disabled. Using this I could display a message to the user (I'd rather not just remove them without notifying the user).   Seems a little bit hacky and potentially unreliable... does anyone know another way

Hello,   I'm using Nintex for SP 2019.   I have a site workflow that analysis items and create new items in this same list (trought a "for each" loop). This list have a workflow that run perfectly for manual creation of item (forms completed by users). So far so good.   Now all new items created by the site workflow are not running because there are tag as created by system account. I think it is a correct behaviour for SP, but i really need to do this working. How can i can fix this problem ? I've searched in central Admin : No parrameter for allowing System Account to trigger WF conditions. I've tried to recreate the site workflow with an other user that system account and put the creat item action in an action set. Then running this action set as workflow owner. This was curious, the created by is still fill by System account.  I've tried to use a web service action. But I cannot figure out what is expected into the list item name. For the list item name i've tried with and without

I need to add a button to a form that contains seven repeating sections. I can't use the default "Add Row" text because some users may not have the ability to use a mouse. Only a keyboard. The tab key does not land on (focus) on the "Add Row" text. So... that's why I need to add a button to allow Add Row to the form. I add the button and kick off a JavaScript to execute the add row. Problem is, it only adds to my first repeater section. I understand it's because the JavaScript need to point to a CSS Class for the Repeating Section.  What are the steps to assign each repeating section to a different CSS Class? I put DSOrepeater into the repeater Format/CSS Class. I added a class to the Form Settings/Custom CSS. I didn't know what goes inside the curly brackets. CSS Class: .DSOrepeater { } I put in the .ms-addnew with that CSS class name in the Form Settings/Custom JavaScript. Javascript: function addDSOrepeat(){NWF$("DSOrepeater .ms-addnew").click();} Lastly, I added a call to

Long time lurker who has benefited many times from the community but I have somethign now that I can't get to the bottom of.   I have a list with a very simple workflow with a three way approval (Approved, Approved with Conditions, Rejected).   This works really well and there was a requirement to replicate the functionality on another list.   I exported the initial list workflow, saved the original list as a template, created new list, new workflow, imported the export and made some changes (specifically to the task notification mail).   Workflow runs on creation only. Workflow starts once (verified with history log) Single approver listed as a variable. The flexi task generates two independent tasks and send two notifications, one is the format I amended, one is the original format. I then set the workflow tasks to go into a new list and when the wf runs, one task is generated in the original workflow task list, one in the new task list. Actions taken in either of the tasks results i

"Forms are SO unaccessible!" -- My Accessibility DepartmentThere are several accessibility issues he pointed out that I don't know how to correct via Nintex.... does anyone have any experience, or lessons learned you can share with making Nintex Forms accessible?EXAMPLES--------1. Missing form label on Person Field: As you can see there are 2 missing labels in this person field. However, there is a label associated with the field and the field is obviously filled out2. Orphaned form label on Calculated Field: As you can see the field is completed, and there is a label associated with this field3. Missing form label on Text Field: This field has a label associated with it4. Missing form label on "Other" textbox in choice field: The choice field has a label associated, but with the "allow other" option the textbox says there's not a label5. Missing form labels on SQL Request Dropdown: the dropdown has a label associated with it, but there are 2 missing label hits here. One is for "loadin

Hi Community, we have a workflow with a create appointment item. Since our on Premis Exchange Server was migrated to Exchange Online, the workflow no longer runs. We have found that on the Exchange Online server the EWS function is disabled for security reasons. Is there a possibility to store a URL for Exchange Online in the create appointment item to communicate with Exchange Online without the function EWS?

Hi,   I have a list(named 'A') with around 20 rows and 5 columns. I want this data to be displayed in Nintex form(another list 'B'). Eg: When I select currency in Nintex form, my data in list 'A' should be filtered by currency and all the corresponding data should be displayed in Nintex form Repeating Section.    Any idea how can this be displayed.

I am using Nintex Forms 2013.   In my form I have a date field called DateLastUpdated.  If a user opens the form and makes any changes to any fields on the form, when they click Save I would like a validation rule to give a message if DateLastUpdated is not today's date. Example: "Since you have made a change to the form, please ensure Date Last Updated is today's date"   If the user opens the form in edit mode but makes no changes, then the validation rule should not trigger.   I can't find a way to check if a form has changes made to it. Any suggestions?   Thanks
