Hello everyone,I have an issue which required your help. I make a form  for purchase request and it linked with a "huge" workflow. My problem come from the fact that if two request was submit in the same time (maybe 2 or 3 second). One of them finish but an error occured for the second.

I have a form that gets filled out by Initiator. There are panels in the form that should only be visible to Preparer 1 so that Initiator doesn't fill them out. The problem is that when the form is entered into the library, the workflow hasn't run yet, so the Preparer 1 field hasn't been populated yet (workflow looks to a Business list to find Preparer 1 associated with that business because I can't look up a People Picker column).Hiding the panel based on "New Mode" doesn't work, even though a document is entered into the library by the Initiator and it is a new form being filled out. Hiding based on "Edit Mode" works, but then it is hidden from Preparer 1 as well.I've thought about hiding the panel based on a SharePoint permission group, but it doesn't appear that this is an option inside a form.I tried setting a form variable to a specific user,  but that didn't work. Perhaps I was doing that wrong. Regardless, I don't want to get into hard coding individuals, even though the Initia

 Symptoms I have a rule on a form "when a control on a view is changed". This rule fires when the form is being initialized and populated with data. Is there a way to prevent the rule from being triggered when the form is initialized? Diagnoses This can be done with the use of the Initialize and the Initialized method so the form waits for the form to load all the data in on initialize before making the change. Resolution Steps to follow:Create a Parameter on the Form/View called FormInitialized. You can set this to Boolean and have it Default to FalseAdd a rule for When the Form/View executed Initialized.

Nintex on SharePoint 2010 has some options for Nintex Mobile App. I've published a form on Nintex Mobile for Phone, Nintex Mobile for Tablet and Nintex mobile for iPhone.The iPhone layout is different from the general Nintex mobile for phone layout. when my iPhone users download the app, they see the general phone version and not the iPhone version. Why is this happening and which layout takes precedence when the users are iPhone users?Also the few users I tested it with, they got iPhone 7. If we stick with the general phone version, I've noticed that the form is working perfectly fine for android users while some fields are for no reason are showing errors on the iPhone. The fields are simple single line of texts that are connected to the list and used the same way across the form in desktop/mobile/tablet. It is annoying to the users because if we publish the general phone version, we're assuming that it is supposed to work for all kinds of phones the same behavior. and if chose to cr
