Hi, I need help please! I have a user that needs a number field to have 6 numbers and with each new list item that he creates it needs to be a new/unique number.   So item one should be 000001, item two should be 000002, etc.   It can't be combined with the ID or anything, it needs to be a new and unique number for each new item that he creates in the list. Does anyone have any suggestions or examples of this?   Thanks for any info/input!

I'm now to Nintex and may be missing something or approaching the problem incorrectly.  Using On Prem SP2016 Nintex Forms and Workflow. Here is my problem.  I have a list with a many step state machine workflow for approval.  On the List form I have a listview control Showing a view of the Workflow Tasks List with the task outcomes etc. I would like to filter that is view to only show the tasks related to the current Item.  I tried using the Related Content field but cannot get it to work.  What is the best way to approach this problem?

Hello! I have a Flexi Task in my workflow, with Create individual tasks for all group members and Allow Delegation fields checked. When an assignee tries to delegate the task, he get this error message on the delegation page: "You are not allowed to delegate this task". The delegation is working if im the assignee (as a site admin) so i tried to give higher permissions (even Full Control) to the users on the task list and the source list, but that not helped. Tried the Set user permission to on the tasks Configure Action page, no luck. Anyone able to help me?  Thank you very much!

Hi, SharePoint online classic Nintex form I have added two lookup fields to the form, which connects to a list with two columns- Name and Address. The lookup fields show Name and Address respectively after configuring them. I wanted to filter the Address field based on the Name selected in lookup field 1. In filtering, I selected 'By a control's value' and for where field I gave 'Name' and Filtered by control to the control name of the Name field on the form. I was hoping the filtering to work, but the address field is not showing any results. Am I doing anything wrong?

We found that there is a Nintex timer job which did not complete as given below. It is stuck at 0% and it did not start as it shows. We also tried to run another job for the said web application and it did not run or complete. Restarted and cleared timer service cache, still no go. The job would not complete. Enabled verbose for Nintex and found the following error:Checked the uls logs after verbose and found the following error, but could not find the site collection related information, will check with sql team.

Hello, I cannot seem to get this to work properly, I have patched together several other posts to get to where I am today, I feel like i must be missing something simple. I'm using SP 2013.   I want to use a look up list drop down to select a title project  -- Let's call it 'Apples'   I would then like it to populate a multi select field called Project with the value 'Apples' and then allow users to also select other options if they need to....    Here is what I have and its not working:       NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { NWF$('#'+varProjTitle).change(function(){ if (NWF$('#'+varProjTitle).val ("Apples")){ NWF$('#'+varProj).find('input[value="Apples"]').prop('checked',true) } }); });      

When I test a form I created using Nintex 2016 in different resolutions, my forms seems to adjust only lengthwise. I would like my form to appear wider and not longer. Is this possible? During my form design I created the form with two columns; I would like the form to appear this way when I test it on my Windows PC

Hi all I've multiple checkbox for several events in a form. I've also several checkboxes for recipients in the form. Now the case: If I select an event, lets say, "Automatenstörung" , then the checkbox for the recipient "S-POS" should be automatic activated.   How can I get the expected result? Javascript? Rules? I'm working on classic designer.   See screenshot for the details (upper section are events, lower section are recipients)

Hello all I would like to create a quiz form which shows a random selection out of a list of questions (e.g. 3 questions out of 10 in a list). It should also present 4 connected, possible answers per question (A-D). Finally, the selected answer should be validated against an answer key.    I've achieved the random selection of questions using Javascript. 3 unique random numbers are generated and used to lookup a specific question from the question list.   var arr = [];while (arr.length < 3) {    var r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;    if (arr.indexOf(r) === -1) arr.push(r);    var one = arr[0];    var two = arr[1];    var three = arr[2];}  NWF$(document).ready(function() {     NWF$("#" + Q1).val(one);}); NWF$(document).ready(function() {     NWF$("#" + Q2).val(two);}); NWF$(document).ready(function() {     NWF$("#" + Q3).val(three);});   Now, I would like to show/lookup 4 answers per question (A-D) and validate these against the answer key. (e.g. For question 3, answer B is c

Hi All, Need an urgent help. I am new to Nintex. I am combining 2 fields inside a calculated value control, and then connecting the text to a unique field in a Sharepoint 2013 list. The idea is that if the combination exists already in the list, new entry is not allowed. The problem is, after the validation error message, when user changes the entry in one of the fields, the calculated value control doesn't change the value. It just takes the first input and that's it. I tried to copy the dynamic change post here (https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Calculated-field-does-not-recalculate-when-value-s-change/td-p/26968), but couldn't make it work. Is there a way to completely erase all form data whenever there is such a validation failure, so that the user can select fresh values again? Or is my approach totally wrong? Thanks a ton for your help.

Hello ,  I am trying to retrieve samaccount name of the user based on the initiator value in a workflow.  In the query LDAP control I have figured LDAP path but I have trouble with LDAP query. How do I pass the initiator information in to LDAP query , retrieve samaccountname and assign it to a variable.  Do I have to use some other control instead of LDAP query ?   Thank you @R  

 Symptoms I cannot configure sorting or filtering on a list view once the view has been saved. The only time I can configure sorting and filtering is when I create a new list view and prior to clicking Finish. I even tried clearing the canvas and starting over, but that didn't work either (not that it would have been an acceptable workaround).Is there something I am missing? I haven't found anything in the documentation nor in the KB regarding this issue. As it stands I can't use sorting or filtering if the only time I can configure it is when creating a new list view.The issue seems to be related to Paging when setting up a filter. Diagnoses This is a known issue with a fix. Resolution Please contact K2 Support to receive this fix referencing ticket _110013. 

Hi, although I have gathered some programming skills in the past, I'm pretty new to this nice and powerfull Nintex framework. 🙂 ATM I'm developing a logging WF (SP 2010 and Nintex 2010) which should track creation, modification and deletion of items in the "master" list into a logging list. Things are running good so far. Here is my problem: In the master list I have a versioned multiline text field. When an item is deleted, I want to log the last stack entry of this versioned multiline text field (amongst other fields) into the logging list. To achieve this I'm using "build string" to create my entry in the logging list. All fields, but the versioned multiline text field, get it into logging list. 😞 The workflow runs like this: Read things to log from master list. Create string for the log entry and put it into a variable (multiline string). Write variable's included string to the logging list. Delete item in master list (deletion is triggered by letting users set a "delete flag" in

I have a Nintex Form on a SharePoint list. The list has 11 choice fields.   At the bottom of the form is a "Ready to submit" Yes/No field. When the user ticks this and saves the item, this triggers a PowerAutomate flow.   I want the "Ready to submit" field to be hidden until responses have been given for all 11 choice fields.   I was thinking perhaps I could create a variable that counts up the number of nonblank responses, then create a rule that hides the "Ready to submit" field unless the variable = 11?   Would that work? Could someone give me some guidance on how to create that variable?

Nintex Community, One of the most annoying things ASP.Net is a view state issue.  For those who do not know what a view state is, Microsoft defines it as follows:View state is the method that the ASP.NET page framework uses to preserve page and control values between round trips. When the HTML markup for the page is rendered, the current state of the page and values that must be retained during postback are serialized into base64-encoded strings. This information is then put into the view state hidden field or fields.We currently have a sharepoint site we created a while back that is producing these view state errors in the form of the dreaded "Sorry, Something Went Wrong" errors.   When we dug into the logs we came across this line:Application error when access /sites/XXX/Lists/Metrics Analytics Request/EditForm.aspx, Error=Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous req

I have a form where I have a Calculated Value that populates based on completion of another column.  It is a checklist list with nearly 70 individual items.   Once Yes or NA is selected it "date" stamps the Calculated Value in the Completed By On section.  This works perfectly with the exception that each time the form is edited then the date and time on the Calculated Value is updated to show the current date/time/user. Is there a way to disable the calculated value once it the Completed column has been finished?   If I disable the Recalculate on edit mode then it stops functioning. I have tried various formatting rules on the Calculated value with no available.   Any suggestions?  What am I missing?  Should this be handled differently?   Thanks. Devon              

Hi, I want to hide the quick launch of the left hand navigation within sharepoint 2013, when a user creates/amend a form. They don't need access to it so it would just confuse them. Is there a easy way to disable this just for when a user evokes a nintex form. Screen shot below    Thanks for your help Priya

Hi all!  so I am receiving this error in my workflow and essentially, I just want it to be ok if the entry is blank. How would I add an exception to do this?  thanks so much in advance!!

In my form at least 20 words should be used to describe the reason for a request. I can't use a regex for a multine textbox, so I have googled for some javascript and found this great post by @Dan Stoll. However, I can't make the following code work:function wordCount(source, args) {var words = args.Value.split(” “);words = NWF$.grep(words, function (element, index) { if (element.trim() != “”) {return true; } }); if (words.length < 20) { args.IsValid = false; } } I also don't see anything on saving the client id of the textbox control in a javascript variable (value?). Does anyone have any suggestions?Kind regards, Yvette

So I have found quite a few posts on the web including this Nintex Learn more article:Task Lock - Task is locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited  But no real solutions.  So we have been able to replicate this error on several different sites and with several different workflows which use lazy approval.  The error only occurs when people reply to the lazy approval right away (within the first 3-4 minutes) and even then, only occurs about 10% of the time.  It would appear what is happening is the task is still locked by the workflow when the lazy approval email is received, which generates the 'This task is locked by another user' error message.  But in each case, the lazy approval email is still processed and the workflow completes.  It's basically just an annoyance that this email is randomly being sent out on some of the lazy approvals.  Essentially the this task is locked by another user error email would appear to be sent prematurely in these cases.  Does anyone know of a

Hi Guys,   Since our customer is migrating from 2013 to the cloud, we're running an inventory of all workflows for a web by querying the database on WebId.   When doing this, a lot of workflows are returned for which the list doesn't exist and where the workflow doesn't show up in the Site Workflow Inventory.   Our guess is that the customer used a template or did a migration at 1 point and that the database is no longer up to date.   Is there a timer job that brings the Nintex database back up-to-date and any idea why this hasn't ran automatically?   Tx in advance.
