Hi,I am new to Nintex so bear with me if this is basic. I see there might be some complex solutions using web service calls etc. but as more of an end user, I would prefer to keep it simple. Also, the fact that I can get it to work one way but not another with what looks like a similar function is puzzling.Background:  A Nintex sharepoint workflow is designed to push (and convert) documents from one 'working' library to another library for broad viewing. The WF will convert .doc(x) to PDF if necessary or copy if it's a PDF already. The WF then updates metadata on the created/copied file from the current item. This includes a mix of choice, lookup, and managed fields.My issue is that when using the "Update Multiple Items action", it fails when it attempts to update managed metadata fields on the new item. However if I use the "Update Item" action it successfully updates the fields. In searching for a solution I am not even sure why this works as the solutions out there seem quite comple

While troubleshooting my workflow, I keep starting over after a publish a new version.  Is there a way to start testing from a point other than the beginning? 

I apologize for such a basic question.  I have tried to find the answer but unable to do so (probably because it is too simple, nobody asked it).The situation is as follows - A document is created by Analyst 1 and is then sent to Mgr 1 for approval.  If the approval is rejected, I want control to go back to Analyst 1 to correct and resubmit the document for approval again.I am using a flexi task for the approval.  What should be on the reject side to get the workflow to go back to Analyst 1 to make changes and resubmit?

Hi all, I need to disable/enable panels within a form based on logic if a user is in a specific group.  So, if the user is in Group X, enable/disable all the panels.I've seen a post that addresses this issue by setting the default value of a checkbox control.  (https://community.nintex.com/thread/2690)This works for the first time the form is created, but does not seem to work for when the form is subsequently edited.  I need to be able to evaluate if the user is in a specific group everytime the form is opened, and then disable/enable the panels accordingly,Thanks all for any help!Cheers,Troy

Hi all,Can everyone tell me how to set up the system account to Flexi Task? I have workflow and there I assign Flexi Task to someone. Flexi task still running and I can set response from web application and with another workflow I want to set Flexi Task to Approve status by web service and method (ProcessFlexiTaskResponse2) but there is a problem that Flexi Task is not set up because it is called by system account under web service and the web service request status is "Invalid User".Can everyone fix the problem?Thanks so much

 Symptoms We are seeing that on a smartform designed to create a new list item on submitting the form, the creation of the item will fail and we will get a blank error with the following stack trace:?Type: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectException?Source: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client?Method Base?Member Type: Method?Name: ExecuteScalar?Module?Scope Name: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.dll?Declaring Type?Full Name: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer?Stack Trace:at SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer.ExecuteScalar(SmartObject smartObject, DataTable inputTable)at SourceCode.Forms.AppFramework.FormRuntime.SmartObjectExecution(BrokerSmartObject brokerSmo, SmartObjectBrokerMetaData brokerMetaData, Boolean outputDependencies, SmartObjectClientServer smoClientServer, Queue`1 soInstances)at SourceCode.Forms.AppFramework.FormRuntime.WorkXmlToApi(BrokerPackageCollection packages, SmartObjectClientServer smoClientServer)at SourceCode.Forms.AppFrame

 Symptoms While deploying a change to production (updating a sql view) I noticed that the sql server service was timing out on the refresh. So I modified the command timeout of the service broker to be 900 instead of 30. Then I restarted the K2 service. The K2 Service fails to restart.I have attached the server log. It looks like the event bus is failing to start. I am afraid I did something to the hostserver config. Diagnoses We had the following error show in host server logs after attempting to start the service:"30079583","2016-12-02 00:22:58","Error","EventBus","7506","Initializing","ScheduleProcessing.InitializeConfigSettings","7506 Unable to initialize configuration settings: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SourceCode.EventBus.Utils.Config' threw an exception. ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized attribute 'assemblytyperessolver'.

 Symptoms We are trying to package our PROD solution.We are getting issues like this in the package and deployment tool ? which indicates there are probably orphan entries left in the K2 database for the ListSettings properties.We need assistance as to which tables in K2 database would have these SharePoint references.Error messages:'Change Request Attachments List' View is referencing the 'ListSetting' ListSetting that could not be found.'Change Request Attachments List' View is referencing the 'SiteURL: http://[SITE A]' property on the 'ListSetting' ListSetting that could not be found. Diagnoses This solution originally existed on a separate sharepoint site http://[SITE A]. It was packaged via MMC and then the site was deleted. We then deployed this package onto a new site http://[SITE B] once again with MMC.Now that we are trying to package from Site B we see that we are getting errors with list settings and an incorrect Site URL. We examined the xml of a view that was throwing thes

Did you ever need to document your workflow? How have you done it?Do you think it 'd be useful a tool for that?

I have a JavaScript Routine from a Site Page that builds some metrics for a List and displays a d3 Visualization of those metrics. Part of the process requires building a table of values. I'd like to be able to send a string of table values to a Nintex Workflow and Update a Summary List.  If I can get this to work through a string parameter, I can parse the string within the workflow and update the list. This would be easier for me than to resort to Client-Side Code.This is what my same d3 visualization looks like:

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.  Here is a description of the problem.A List Lookup control has the following propertiesAnd it has these filter-by values- Control: 'sltCompany' - Column: 'lpCompanySpecific'Positive test works as expected...- filter value = resultsNegative test works as expected…- no filter value = no results…until I start setting the control value programatically using JavascriptAfter function set the control value,no results are returned.Even manually retyping the filter value,the filter no longer worksReload the form,manually type the filter value,and the filter works again.Then execute the Javascript to override the typed control value......and again the filter no longer works,even manually retyping the value,no resultsNormal Javascript, nothing extravagant

Also would anyone know the price per server.thanks,Stephan

 Symptoms When trying to execute the 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA' method with the 'DATE' and 'LASTNAME_M' input via the K2 connect Test Cockpit as per the steps described in the K2 documentation here: https://help.k2.com/onlinetraining/bp4/default.htm#Resources/Projects/K2connect/K2connectDemo.htm user gets the error below:"Input string was not in a correct format."Looks like this is a breaking change in BP 4.7 as Support was able to confirm the issue does not present itself in BP 4.6.11/K2 Connect 4.6.11. Diagnoses This is due to the way K2 connect handles SAP date format conversion. Resolution A new version of "K2 Connect for SAP 4.7.1 (4.10060.890.0) - Build 002" that addresses this issue is available for download on the K2 portal page.The fix itself involves better handling for SAP date format conversion.

 Symptoms We can successfully log into K2 Mobile but get "Sorry, something went wrong" on All Tasks and Forms... As a result, we cannot use K2 Mobile. Please see screen shots attached ("K2 Mobile.zip") and server logs ("HostServerLogs.txt") attached. This is a high priority item. Diagnoses As soon as I changed the app-pool for the K2Api web-application for Designer and Runtime websites to that of the corresponding smartforms app-pools, mobile connectivity was restored. I am however surprised that this wasn?t set properly by the K2 installers. Maybe you can log an enhancement request for the installer team?Feature request was logged ?: Feature Request - Ensure that the App pool for the K2Api web-application for Designer and Runtime sites, corresponds to the smartforms app pools.? Resolution The issue was resolved by changing the app-pool for the K2Api web-application for Designer and Runtime websites so that it corresponds to the smartforms app-pools.

 Symptoms Users can't see workflows under the K2 Designer Document Category on Production Environment that were deployed recently. Diagnoses After you have deployed the solution as the user who created it you need to Share the workflow with other users. You will first want to make sure that all forms are checked in, go to the workflow in question, and on the file menu of the designer, click on Share and select which specific user you would like to share the workflow with.
