I have a site collection with multiple sub sites. Each sub site has a list using a specific content type. In this list is a list workflow that runs when the list item is updated and it updates an item in the root site. I want to convert the list workflow to a site collection reusable workflow template so I can associated it with the site content type. That way when I need to make changes to the workflow, I only have to make it in one place and the change will propagate down to the list in each sub site.   Everything works really well except when I try to update a hyperlink field in the item in the root site. I have a variable that contains Web_URL, Title and I update the hyperlink field with this variable. This works great in the list workflow, but in the site content type workflow I get the error "Error Updating Multiple Items." Is there any way I can make it work in my site collection reusable workflow template?

I'm trying to do what I thought was a fairly basic function. I have a list of equipment serial numbers and the addresses for that equipment. When the serial number is selected from the Listlookup control I want to use a rule with a lookup to populate the address fields. If I hard code the lookup with a list ID it works perfectly.   code: lookup("lstEquipmentList", "id", 836, "address")   If I use the variable for the listlookup I get an error.   code: lookup("lstEquipmentList", "id", [Form].[lstSNum], "address")   error: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException"

Hi everyone, I have a dropdown with a selection of dates in it like below (from a lookup list)  14/08/2020 - 10/09/2020 21/08/2020 - 17/09/2020 28/08/2020 - 28/09/2020 On my form I want to remove or hide one or more of the dates above if they are in the list the form is attached to. So for instance if a person has already selected 14/08//2020 - 10/09/2020 then this would not appear in the dropdown the user would just see the below 21/08/2020 - 17/09/2020 28/08/2020 - 28/09/2020 I've been trying to do this through various ways unsuccessfully so wondered if anyone had done something similar and could point me in the right direction. Thanks 🙂

As you can see from the images, I have a workflow on  a SharePoint list that isn't working as intended. Here's the idea:  the workflow pulls the date listed in the Class Date column into a CLASS DATE variable, and pulls the date that the workflow is run into the TODAY variable.  In the Calculate Date section, the intended calculation is supposed to take the date from CLASS DATE, and go back one day (hence the -1).  For example, if the date in the column Class Date was August 15, it would come up with the date August 14.  Make sense?  This calculation is stored in another variable called CLASS DATE MINUS ONE. From there, the Run If statement makes its check - If TODAY equals CLASS DATE MINUS ONE, then that list item is deleted.     Now you know what it's supposed to do.  However, the workflow isn't deleting the items when it runs.  What am I doing wrong?

I am using {Web URL}/_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx and AddUserToGroup to added user to the group in workflow using web service, the user is added successfully to the group. But when I check the permission of the added user, the user doesn't inherit the permission of the group. The group that I added is having edit permission. But if I add the manually the user inherits the permission of the group.

I tried to consume the SOAP Nintex Workflow.asmx in net core 3.1 project, but when I check the reference file(the auto generated file) a lot methods didn't get generate like "public bool DelegateTask", but if I do the same thing in .net framework project the methods get generate, but I really need to get the method in .net core project. is the possible?   Thanks.

I am building a workflow for parents at a school to fill in permission notes for their children.This is done by assigning them a nintex form workflow task via an Assign flexi task action.We are using the combination of Nintex workflow and forms 2013.The concern we have is that other parents could browse to the workflow tasks list and read the tasks assigned to other parents.This could expose personal information of a parent or a student to other parents.My initial thought was to run a workflow on the workflow tasks when the task item is created to break the permissions inheritance and assign the assigned to user as contribute, remove the members group and leave the owners group as full control.Has anyone has experience with locking down the workflow task items?Is there a better way to do this?Thanks,Gavin

Hello, I have found how to create a site Scheduled Workflow and how to Remove a site Scheduled Workflow.  I have not found a way to retrieve all site Scheduled Workflows to review details of the workflow like Scheduled Date/Time, Last Run, Next Run, Repeat Sequence and hopefully Start Data.   Please share if you have found a way to retrieve or loop through all site Scheduled Workflows and how to review the details of the workflows.   Thanks and have a great day, -JC

Hi   I a requirement to change a single line of text field (set by a workflow) to a list lookup field that a user can select when creating the form.   There is then a workflow that runs where the line manager can change this field from a 'Collect Data from a User' task from a list lookup field (referencing the same lookup list as above) on the workflow form - this is the (set by a workflow) above   This writes back the value fine to the item in the list view, however on editing the form the original entry is displayed (if changed) and if saved 'as is' the lookup goes back to its original entry.   Is there a way of fixing this without the need of other columns to display text referencing the list lookup?  I can make this work with a lot of faffing around with additional text fields and form variables but is there a simpler way of doing this?   Any help appreciated

Hello, I am attempting to filter my drop down menu based on what the user has typed into a single line textbox above the dropdown. The dropdown menu unfiltered contains 200+ entries so we would like to narrow this down for the user. I would like for the user to be able to type a word into the single line textbox and any item within the dropdown that contains that word should show. Anything that does not contain that word should not show in the dropdown.   For example, let's say the dropdown menu has the items: Apple Pie, Orange Custard, and Green Apple. If I were to type Apple into the single line textbox, I would like the dropdown menu to only show: Apple Pie, Green Apple.    I have been attempting this with the filter portion of the dropdown menu settings. However, I have only been successful in filtering if the user enters the exact item in the list, instead of anything containing that word.    For example, if the user types Apple into the textbox, nothing appears. If the user types

I am trying to save a default content new form and then send the user to another content type form for the same item but in edit form.  I am using JavaScript to send the user to another content type form by clicking on a button with this script: setTimeout(function() { window.location = "http://ServerName/Lists/ListName/EditForm.aspx?ID=" + itemID + "&ContentTypeId=" + ConTypeID; }, 500); This works if the item's ID has been set, but when it is clicked, the ID isn't set and link breaks.  Is there a way use the "Save and Continue" button functionality and then immediately send the user to the URL above with an ID ready to be used? 

I have a form and I want to have a rule that allows uses to tick a  Yes/No box if this option on the form is n/a for them. The rule will then be in the subsequent options under this title and each one will return the top score.    Here is what I have. So if the user ticks the Not Required option the Score available in the External section will return 5.    But I have tried a variety of ways to do this and nothing has worked

I have a Nintex Live form on SharePoint on Prem 2013. This form is for perspective students who do not have an account yet so it must be Nintex Live for anonymous access. The form processors can mark a form Incomplete on the list and if they do that the student will receive an email asking them to attach an additional document to their form. I have not been able to figure out how to send them the link to the original Nintex Live form they submitted. Everything I have tried sends them a link to a new blank Nintex Live form. Any suggestions?

I have a form where users enter data about their project statuses. I was originally going to create a  field called Date Form Was Last Updated, but then I thought I can just use SharePoint's built in  Modified date to see when the user made changes to the form.   The problem is, I have workflows that run on that list in order to gather data for reports. When the workflow runs, it changes all the Modified dates (and the Modified By fields also).   Is there any way around this problem, or do I need to create a new field called Date Form Was Last Updated and ask the user to enter a date each time they make updates?   Thanks

Hello,I am trying to add a button on a form (Requests).  The button, (called "Add Employees"), will open up a new form for another list (RequestEmployees) and link it to the ID of the Request item.  I'd like the original Request form to remain open.  I saw this posting to add java code to a button, but was not able to make it work. (Same question posted under that posting, but I have not received a reply).  Can anyone help.  Here is a summary.1.  Open New form (Requests) - to add a new Request2.  Click on Button - "Add Employees" - to add Employees to the requestThe "Add Employees" Button will save Request (to create ID) and open 2nd new form to add employees (RequestEmployees), which is tied to original request by ID.Does this make sense?

I am able to get the value of the selected option of a choice control using:function getCh1Val() { alert(NWF$('#'+cidCh1 + ' input:checked').val()); }But I can't seem to set the value of the choice control when it is in option button display format. If I change it to drop down list format I can get and set the value with no problem.

Hello all I have been reading through the forum posts to try and figure out how to fix my problem, but being at level 0 experience with JavaScript and repeating table interaction I'm now having to ask for help. Basically, I have multiple yes/no fields (at this point 4) in a repeating section.  The user can pick only one.  The idea being if they select Box 1, then change their mind and pick Box 2, Box 1 is automatically deselected. I have he solution working when not in a repeating section, however, as soon as I move it into the repeating section it doesn't work.  I have "learnt" from the various posts that I have to use CSS to reference each box, so I have done that.  Where I think I'm stuck is the looping through each option for each row, I'm sure I have missed a bracket or semi colon some where.     I have been using the .click() event, but I'm guessing that doesn't work within a repeating section so I also tried .change() with no success.   The repeating section has been assigned th

Hello,   Some of the users in our SP 2016 farm, with right set of permissions, have issues publishing a WF if it has 'Assign Flexi Task' action. While publishing, it keeps on asking for their credentials and if they click Cancel after 4-5 attempts, the WF throws: 401: Unauthorized error. They are able to save the workflow with flexi task action, but not publish it. If they remove the 'Assign Flexi Task' action, they are able to publish the WF just fine.    I read a few similar posts in the forum but none had definitie answer. Could someone please help me with this issue?   Thanks, Adi

Hi All,    I have several site workflows (one site) that kick one another off then they complete.    Example: workflow 1, starts workflow 2, workflow 2 starts workflow 3.   I have noticed that all workflows will remain running (in progress) until the last one ends even though the wait for the workflow to finish isnt selected.    Is there an issue or bug that does not have a workflow actually END once it's done? I've tried adding an "end workflow" action at the end of each workflow but they don't go to it until after the "Start workflow" is complete (which is not until the final workflow is done). 

I have to set up a Nintex workflow that will check the value (drop-down) in the Nintex form and based on that value, CC a specific group(s) of people that are currently in an excel spreadsheet. I plan to create SharePoint groups from the spreadsheet, and there will be more than 20 of them. The field selector is for the location that the form is filled out for, and the contents of the form must be sent to specific people in charge of that location.   TL;DR The workflow will run when the submit button is clicked on the form. The workflow will need to dynamically use the location selected from drop-down to match it up with a set of groups to be CC'd on the generated email. What's the best way to approach this?

Hi Team,   Please could you help me with the questions below?   1. How can I set the form to save responses with capital letters? 2. I need to format a field so that it displays leading zeros, something like this: "00.000.000 / 0000-00". Is it possible?   Thanks in advance!
