When using the Nintex Mobile app we're running into errors while using iPhone. Android works great.1. Metadata controls don't render on iPhone2. People picker values are not set (e.g. an employee field is set to current user - works on Android, not on iPhone). On iPhone the field just comes up empty.3. Submit button does not seem to submit the "Value Returned" (works fine on Android). Is this just not working for us? How would I go about troubleshooting this?Thank you.

Hi there.  Me again. I looked around for this and I'm not seeing it. I'd like to set up an action on a smartform (or subform) where if a user clicks the "X" in the upper right hand corner to close, a sepcified action happens...such as an update method on the view. My need is that I'd like to track on a database table when an item is clicked open but not action taken on it.  Alternatively, I'd settle for simply being able to disable the "X" in the form upper right hand corner and installing a "Close" button that would then execute the desired action...but I know that if I have botha  "Close" and an "X" some users will use both.  I saw the Event "When a Subform is Closing" but I'm afraid that when you use this event, it will execute the action every time the subform closes...I do NOT want it to execute it when another rule closes the subform (such as after when the user actions it...) ONLY when the close the form manually by clicking the "X" in the upper right. Any help? Thanks, Rob  

Hi all,We are about to move all our forms onto a new server I am just wondering if when you package and deploy smartobjects across two environments does it UPDATE/APPEND or OVERWRITE the data if there is a duplicate Smartobject on the other side. Kind Regards,Martin

 Symptoms Artifacts on previously appified lists are missing, or seem to disappear intermittently. Diagnoses This was diagnosed as a bug involving the new SharePoint UI. Resolution A fix has been created to address this issue and can be obtained by contacting K2 support. 

I'm having issues requiring a single line text box be filled IF a yes/no checkbox is marked "yes". I have tried multiple validation rules, but to no success. Any help is appreciated.

In JavaScript we can do something like this:switch(c){    case 0:    case 1:        doSomething();        break;   case 2:     doSomethingElse();     break;}So if c is 0 or 1 the doSomething() function is executed.   If c is 2 then doSomethingElse() is executed.Is there any way to do this in a Nintex Workflow switch action?  

HiI have a form where I have a MMD field named 'Department'. I want this field to contain unique values only. I have easily done this in the SharePoint list settings by making the field unique. When I try and submit the form using a department value that already exists the user receives an error which is correct behaviour however the Nintex form error is poor as it says, 'Something went wrong' instead of something useful like 'Department already exists'. I have amended the controls custom error message but this does not show...it may require some Java. Any idea's?SharePoint 2010Thanks

Hi,I have a nintex task form as part of a workflow which includes a repeating section control. I am storing the xml output from that control in a multi-line text variable and using the Query XML action to parse it with xslt to convert it to html. Basically like this post​ explains.I am then saving that html to a multi-line text property (rich text) against a document content type I have setup in a library and displaying it in the document itself using a word quick part (Inset > Quick Parts > Document Property). I am using quick parts for a few other document properties that are set during the course of the workflow. However, for this property it's outputting the 'raw' html code in the document and not a nice neat table. I have SharePoint Standard edition so don't have access to the Word automation service application to use Content Controls which I've seen mentioned in other posts.Is there any clever way I might be missing to convert and display this output in a friendly way in w

 Symptoms  How to set alternate From Address for emails which are being sent from Default Client Event? I.e. when you need it to be different that address of K2 device account.   You have changed FromAddress value in Environment Library, in process string table, and sendmailfrom value in K2HostServer.exe.config file and restarted K2 service. Change reflected for Email Events but not for Default Client Events. Emails from Default Client Events still sending from K2 service account email address.  Diagnoses  At the moment K2 does not allow for the "From Address" to be configured in Default Client Events. There are number of open feature requests for exposing "From Address" in email wizards to make it more configurable (internal IDs: 374338, 541738, 651451).  Resolution There is no options to set alternate From Address for Default Client Events in current versions of K2. Please log a support ticket in case you have strong interest in seing this feature implemented.   

Has the ability to change the "from e-mail" been added to appit yet?  The latest I saw was a post from March and it hadn't been implemented at that time. Thanks!

Is there a way in SmartForms to have an action button in a ListView?  I would like to have a button on each list in the ListView so that when it is clicked, I can show the detail data that makes up that line. I need to have the ListView editable, so I'm using the double-click event to put the ListView in Edit mode. My SmartObject is calling a Stored Procedure that sums up data.  What I want to happen is when a button the ListView is clicked to call another Smart Object to get the detail information and open up a Sub Form.  The rules for grouping the data are pretty complicated, so I want to leave them in a Stored Procedure. So I'm wanting to have a button that user will click to see the detail information.  But that doesn't appear to be possible.  Does anyone know if the ListView can have an action button in it?  Or if there is a better way to handle this?  Thanks for your help.  

 Symptoms  Previously in 4.6.11 we were able to add webservices and use it under the Endpoints WebService Service Broker.

 Symptoms  I have a rule which is called when a Choice control is changed. I use a For-each loop to look at the characteristics of each item selected (Choice control data source is a SmartObject list). The Advanced Conditions check looks at status, deadline date and start date/time. The advanced condition will not work when used with For Each condition.  Diagnoses  The issue has been identified as a big and will fixed in the future release.  Resolution The workaround is as follow: On the Item View, create an Eventless rule which contains the Advanced condition and the Show a Message action Then on the change event rule, replace the advanced condition and show message part with Execute another rule and choose the eventless rule. See attached Workaround.docx for additional details.

 Symptoms  K2 blackpearl Server service keep stopping for unknown reason requiring manual intervention to start it again.  Diagnoses  This can be caused by variety of reasons but one of the possible causes is inability of K2 server to connect to K2 DB. In that scenario it will shutdown itself gracefully logging appropriate error in log. You can verify/confirm this by analyzing K2 host server logs where it will be possible to see root cause of this issue, i.e. specific error messages in host server log indicating that K2 service has been stopped due to inability to connect to K2 DB:   "2006 Error Connecting to Database. Please restart Host Server when Database becomes available"   This means that it is necessary to check what's wrong with SQL server or connectivity between K2 server and SQL server involving infrastructure/SQL administrator(s). You may also try to look for any specific errors on SQL server hosting K2 DB logged at the time when K2 server logs "2006 Error Connecting to Dat

 Symptoms  Unable to check in form if Activity level Data Fields are used in the form rules. Disabling Analyzer by means of configuring the following key in web.config:   <add key="Forms.Designer.AnalyzeOnCheckin.DisableAnalyzer" value="true" />   allows to check in the form successfully and use it without any issues.  Diagnoses  This is known issue in K2 4.7 (internal ID 712144 "Analyser or ALM is not checking Activity scope datafields") to workaround this you can move DataFields to workflow level/scope.  Resolution Move DataFields to workflow level/scope.   

 Symptoms  The following error appears from time to time on SmartForms runtime affecting all users:   Extender control '%SOME_GUID%' is not a registered extender control. Extender controls must be registered using RegisterExtenderControl() before calling RegisterScriptDescriptors(). Parameter name:extenderControl   Performing recycle operation for SmartForms application pool resolves this. How to properly isolate root cause of this issue?  Diagnoses  Such exception always points to the table control GUID (table control is just a table layout which you create on forms/views to place other controls inside of it) and is actually caused by another control inside of the the table. The original error is lost and replaced with the table control generic error since the rendering continues and the table was not correctly added due to the underlying error. However if error logging is enabled and the folder "C:debug" is present with write permissions for authenticated users then we can see the un
