Hi,I am trying to adjust the height of the white input space of a single line text box so it matches the people field on my form.It works this way but does not look "pretty".As you can see below, left side box is a single line text box and right hand side is a people field, the while space is not aligning. I tried playing with formatting, cell padding etc. I couldn't not find anything.I do have a CSS that I could apply but I am not that great at modifying it. Here is the CSS - Any help would be appreciated./* Template styles *//* Banner/Logo at top of form */ .Nintex-Forms-banner {  background: no-repeat fixed left top; }.nf-form-input .nf-filler-control-inner, .nf-form-label .nf-filler-control-inner { top: 10px; bottom: 10px; left: 10px; right: 10px; } .nf-form-input .nf-textbox-wrapper { left: 0px; right: 0px; }/* Label styling for desktop layout */ .nf-form-label {     display: block;     text-align: right; } .nf-form-label label { padding-top: 1px; } /* Button styling */ .nf-button

I'm running into a strange occurence.I have an approval workflow with an approval form (Flexi Task). This approval workflow has run 400x times without any issues however today I got a user (approver) saying she doesn't see anything. As in the Master page loads around where the form should be, but the form itself is just white space. This approver has used the workflow successfully 50+ times, not changes in permissions (there would be a "You're not allowed ..." message)Even when I look at it (Admin) the form doesn't load for me. OTHER Approval (Flexi task) forms from different workflows are loading fine, just this workflow seems to not load the Lists/Workflow%20Tasks/DispForm.aspx   Looking at the ULS on WFE it seems to go through the process of fetching the request and I see no errors.Has anyone ever encountered this?

I am trying to approve a nintex task using C#. I am unfortunately unable to do it. I tried with a SharePoint REST API to approve a task. The task gets successfully approved but there is a column named outcome that doesn't get updated and that is the column used by nintex form in order to perform the approval. When i check the list settings there exists no such column. I wrote an utility to read all the columns belonging to a list and failed to get any such column. [This] explains that the value to set outstanding tasks to is to use 'Approved' or 'Rejected' for approval tasks, and 'Continue' for other task types.explains that Then I did a bit more research on that to found that there exist a nintex api. I then, found that approval can be performed using [nintex API]This API works well if we execute using the current approver credentials only. Unfortunately, I need to execute the code using a service account due to design constraints. Now if I try to trigger the API then I always get an

Hi all,   Just a quick question.   I am using a Request Data action with my workflow, and part of this contains multiple fields to be updated when the form is not fully complete and ready to be submitted, i.e. tracking fields.   These input fields on the form are connected to their corresponding list columns. Does Nintex not allow the updating of the list fields when information is added on the form and the user clicks the Save button and not the Save and Submit button? I.e. are the lists only populated once the form is submitted? If so, does anyone know any way around this?   Thanks in advance.

I have a flexi task with two actiona (Approve / Reject/ return). after the flexi task action, I start new workflow and pass the decision as parameter to the second workflow. refer to the below screenshot.   the problem is that when the user clicks on save and submit button inside the task, the task window will keep loading for around 15 seconds ... please advise how to reduce this time?

,I'm having issues with a workflow while parsing csv file and setting a date variable. Even-though I get the error: Error: Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the request and my workflow is cancelled, I can still parse values and create items in a different list .My csv file contains a column that should reflect date: 2/20/2020 when parsing the value I store it in a single line of text variable(TextDate). From there I set a variable date&time(Date) to equal worflow data the above single line variable(TextDate).From there I have a calculate date action. Date: WF Data (Date) and store date in another Date and time variable (Newdate). I create a record in another list and I'm able to create and pass the date value however my workflow gets cancelled and the set variable action is yellow. I have tried the convert value to date action however my date format is not always D/MM/YYYY as user has to input that data in the excel file. Question is what would be the

Hi all,   I store a custom change record in XML within a multi-line text column in the list items.  I use that to keep track of updates users make to other columns and trigger broadcast notifications if necessary.   I don't show the column in any views for the user, but updates I make to the column show up in the version history record visible to the user.   How do I update my column "silently" and hide it from the version history of the item?   I'm not sure what the implications of making it a hidden column are: whether that would remove it from the version history and whether I could still write to it using my workflows.  I set it to hidden and all the previous updates I'd made to the column were still visible in the version history.

Hi there,   I would like to know how it is possible to add site columns to an existing list/library using Nintex?   I believe you need to use the webs.asmx web service, along with the 'GetColumns' method to extract a schema of the site columns to XML, you then use the schema of the fields you want to add and pass this data to the 'UpdateList' method.   I can get the complete schema but I am struggling to get only the data I need to pass to the 'UpdateList' method.   Can anyone help please, with an example? Maybe there is an easier way to accomplish this task?   Thank you.

I'm trying to pull in a list of names and addresses for a field in my form, and it doesn't seem like there's any way to do this at all with a Nintex form. All of the help articles I've seen referenced mention the non-Cloud versions and no mention of what to do here.Is my only option for populating dropdowns in NWC manual content entry? That's just not really tenable long term and I'd really like to get this information from something like a Google Doc or a OneDrive spreadsheet, if possible.Thanks for your help!

Hello,   I have a large workflow with quite a few emails in it and with fairly frequent requests to change out the FROM: (sender) of the email to different people in our organization. They want me changing it every few months. Ideally I would have the emails come from a distribution group but that only works once when I type out the email address of the dist group (as the sender) and save and publish with no problems. The kicker is, when I go in and make any type of edit whatsoever to the body of the email (change a word or something) it breaks the distribution email and defaults to coming from the generic sharepoint email address. This is so annoying! I tried creating a people variable and sticking a user in that then using that variable throughout the workflow so at least I would not have to manually change every email when they want it updated but that also does not resolve. Any tips or tricks or workarounds to this limitation? I am SharePoint 2013 Nintex on prem and ideally hoping

I am looking for a FULL example of the workflow people are using to take repeating section data and update column(s). I have seen everything out here but no full example. I know there is more not being displayed like the For Each, Looping, Collections, etc that are needed.    What I am looking for is to take a repeating table of Server, IP, VLAN, Function fields and then update each column with the repeating information. Or at a minimum clean text from the xml that is generated to one column.    I have read Vadim's article and have the UDA installed. I also have read many others including the user who provided the column "Nintex Repeating Section Data". I also read the PowerQuery option and that is not something end user wants to do.    I am needing this to update and also be exportable to Excel. Please an help/examples you can provide would be great.

Is there a way to prevent the "Response no longer required" emails when a flexi task has not been completed and the workflow is terminated.  It is causing a lot of confusion as there is nothing in the email that tells the person what it is for (see below).  It is also not necessary for our workflow.   If it cannot be turned off then is there a way it can be changed so the employee knows where it is coming from?   Thanks.   Devon

Hello everyone,    I am currently working on a project that calls for an enhancement. Currently, the project asks the user to fill in a form that holds numerous drop down options and fill ins. Once completed the user has the option to add a new row which creates an empty form that the user can once again fill in. I am trying to develop a method using a checkbox that would retrieve previously filled in information and populate certain dropdowns on the current form they are working on. The choices present on the drop downs are populated from a separate list and can change selections available on the next dropdown based on what was previously selected. I am new to Nintex forms and javascript so please be as detailed as you can. I believe the 'Store Client ID in Javascript Variable' setting is necessary but am still quite unsure. Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone, just wanted to reach out and let everyone know that we have launched our V1 Process Accelerator Gallery here https://gallery.nintex.com We have compiled a few templates across Promapp, Workflow for Sharepoint/O365 and Workflow Cloud, RPA and some connectors for NIntex Workflow Cloud. These are all free and will continue to remain so, and we are looking for more ideas for templates (submit them through in the gallery site) Or if you would like to have one or more of your templates/workflows / Bot/connectors feature in the gallery, drop me a PM :) because we'd love to have it.

I have a lookup list in SharePoint with 3 columns. "Category", "Sub-Category", "Data". Each Category has only one Sub-Category value, each Sub-Category has only one Data value, there are no duplicates anywhere in the list. I am using the new responsive forms.   I would like to be able to select the Category and the Sub-Category and Data field auto-populate on the form. I have managed to do this one level down, i.e "Category and Sub-Category", but not been able to populate the Data. I have been using Rules to accomplish this.   The rule for Sub-Category: lookup("LKCategory","Category",parseLookup([Form].[Category]),"SubCategory")   The rule for Data: lookup("LKCategory","Category",parseLookup([Form].[Sub-Category]),"Data")   I have read that maybe 2 lists would enable this to work, List1: Category, Sub Category. List 2: Sub-Category, Data. However, for updating purposes, feel it would be better in 1 list.   Is there any way that I can do this without using Javascript, or potentially two

I added a new button in my nintex form for copying the item into the same list The button is (save) button, once clicked, a control "copy" value will be changed and based on that the workflow which works on modify, will copy the item.   How can I make this button work in the view mode as I noticed that the user has to go to edit mode fitst then click on the button.

I work for a government agency and our forms need to comply with accessibility needs. We are using classic form in Nintex for SharePoint Online. The default Nintex buttons failed approval by our section 508 testers as it is not obvious when the button has focus. The test uses the tab key to go through the form (text fields are very evident), but on buttons, the tester says he cannot see a border defining the button has received 'focus'. He will accept changing the color of the outline or making the button change color on-focus. Anyway - he suggested using CSS to perform this. I first need to make sure my button is using my custom CSS, so I went to "Form Settings" then "Custom CSS" and my .buttonCSSTest code. Also I added a new button and under the button "Formatting" and "CSS Class" put buttonCSSTest. It doesn't appear to have any effect on my button. I am new to CSS and using it. I tried making a CSS to change a text box and it works as expected. The Button does not. Any ideas what I'

I have a workflow on a Sharepoint 2010 list that unfortunately seems to have created a continuous loop. I have gone to List Settings > Workflow Settings > Remove a workflow and chose the Remove option for that workflow. When it didn't cease sending me hundreds of email notifications, I deleted the workflow, and the notifications are still coming. How can I stop the workflow at this point?

I am using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex 2013. I have a Nintex form with a people picker field called ProjectLead.   Some users in the active directory have 2 entries for their UserID:  For example: i:0#.w|dsm12tbad i:0#.w|dsm12tb   I use the UserProfileLookup to fill in the Manager of the ProjectLead behind the scenes. The Manager field isn't visible on my form. The Manager field is saved to my list and I use that field to Group as a View on my list.    If the user selects the first UserID (the one with 17 characters), the Manager won't fill in.  If the user selects the second UserID (the one with 15 characters), the Manager works properly.   I was trying to put in a validation rule to say the ProjectLead control is invalid if: equals(ProjectLead,17).  That didn't work. I tried equals({self},17). That didn't work. I tried ProjectLead==17. I tried ProjectLead=="17". I tried {Self}==17. I tried {Self}=="17". No luck.   So then I created a calculated field (Data Type=Generic) where the form

Hello,   Novice to SharePoint and Nintex.  One of the main reasons we purchased Nintex was the ability to be able to create repeating sections on forms.  I was able to get our form created with the repeating section then our test group fills in the form and no data in those section are being displayed in the columns in the List View.  WHAT?  Kind of an important detail.   I did some searching here, but not sure which is the best option and some of the versions are dated and I am not sure if they will work for us.    We are using SharePoint 2016 on premise and we have Nintex for SharePoint 2016.    I found the article on Nintex Repeating Section Data but unfortnately we are unable to deploy unknown wsp files into our SharePoint environment so I have to cross that one of the list.  I found another one by Osama Mourad using JSLink, but the article is dated from 2016.  Is that the best option for my situation?   So can anyone point a newbie to the best option to display data from repeating
