Hello,I want to copy folder and files inside folders from one document library to another document library in same site.I used both of the Vadim Tabakman‌ solutions: Nintex Workflow - Copying a Document Library Folder and Contents - Vadim Tabakman, and Nintex Workflow - Move Documents and Preserve Version History - Vadim Tabakman but i have failed to copy the items inside the folder. Below is the screen shot of the workflow:i am using web request inside for each loop with below settings: URL: web URL/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dllPOSTcontent type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedHeaders:Name: X-Vermeer-Content-TypeValue: application/x-www-form-urlencodedTextmethod=move+document:14.0.2.5420&service_name={Common:WebUrl}&oldUrl={WorkflowVariable:SourceURL}&newUrl={WorkflowVariable:DestinationURL}&url_list=[]&rename_option=findbacklinks&put_option=overwrite,migrationsemantics

Hi community,    i already spend so much time searching the forum for a solution to my problem, but couldn't find anything helpful.    Here's the thing:  I have a list and users are adding new items or editing existing items via anonymous access. This works fine.  Now, when a new item is created or an item is edited, i need to run a Nintex workflow BUT it does not work, when the initiator is set to anonymous. The workflow status first changes to "in progress" then switches to "failed to start (retrying)" and finally "failed to start".    Is there a way (configuration or workaround) to make this work?   Any kind of help is very much appreciated, thank you!!  

Hi, I am very knew to Nintex Workflows and could really sue some help please:   I have a choice column (drop down) called 'Stage'. In 'Stage', I have 3 choices; Start Pause End I also have Date columns (formatted for Date only); Start Pause End What I am trying to do is setup a workflow where, if 'Start' is selected in 'Stage' drop down, it applies current days date in 'Start' calculated column. If you select 'Pause', then it applies current days date in 'Paused' calculated column etc.   I just can't seem to get this to work, or find anything to guide me. I know I probably sound silly - would appreciate any guidance please !

Its a really basic one! - how do you edit the name or rename a workflow? I have one that is not named correctly & i want to edit it.its another one of those things that just doesn't jump out at you!Also is there an option to add a "label" into the top of a workflow that can help identify which workflow it is. i have several that look the same but cannot always tell them apart! So if i can add a label in under the green start arrow it would be really helpfulAny ideas?Pete

Hi I'm hitting an issue here. I have a calculated value performing a "sum" on a bunch of controls in the form, and then another calculated value performing a lookup on a list where the value to filter on is the value returned in my first calculated value. If i hardcode the value in, it works great, if I put the reference to the calculated value in I get nothing. I can confirm the value in my calculated value is what I expect it to be (I've also tried outputting it as a string and an integer). I've tried publishing it and running the form from the list rather than preview but no joy.Here's my formulalookup("FrameSpec", "Code", FrameCode, "ColumnDepth")doesn't work, butlookup("FrameSpec", "Code", "309035150", "ColumnDepth")does.Below is the screen shot and the highlighted area is where the value should appear but returns nothing. Frame Code is my "sum" calculated value and the copy of the same code on the right is a test calculated value to make sure there's no erroneous values being out

I'm having trouble setting a variable from a list lookup, can anyone help? The log in history list clearly shows the variable is not being populated.

My workflow is setup using a state machine, when the person is a certain level of leadership the state machine directs it the approval request to the appropriate person for approval. I am receiving the error in task: The user to assign the task to has resolved as blank text. The state machine has all levels of approvers needed.When the person is a Service Leader the request should go to the Director, it is not.  I have used a people picker on the original request.In the workflow I used Directors out of Item PropertiesIt is not making it to the Director.  Any clue as to what is happening? Workflow HistoryThanks,Suzanne

Hi!I have a list with among other things a few person fields. Now I have found out that the default return value for one of the person fields is different ("204;#GROUP_A_TITLE") than for the other fields ("GROUP_A_TITLE"). In both cases I write the field content into a person variable, each with Return type = "As String (Default)". After a long search and testing I came to the probable reason:The field with the different output was configured with "allow multiple selections = yes", all others with "no". After another testing round I had to find out that a subsequent change of this configuration really does not change the default output! I have created two test columns, one with "allow multiple selections = yes" and one with "no". Also there the outputs differed and the differences remained even after switching this setting for both fields! Can anyone explain or confirm this behaviour to me? Does it really matter with which configuration a column is created? Does the creation really hav

Dear community,   I'm looking for a way to set reminders based on dates in a list. Until now i build a workflow, where i get one email, if one of the EndDate is passed, but i want to give out every line of the list, that passed the Date. Is there a way to realise that?   Thank you very much!

Hi community,I have a simple question:Is there an auto-delete job concerning and on prem?I found this:"History for each workflow instance is saved to the history list specified in the workflow settings, typically the default site workflow history list. In SharePoint Online, the Workflow Auto Cleanup job permanently deletes workflow instances and related task entries that still exist 60 days after a workflow is completed or canceled. You can regularly export the workflow history list if you need to save the workflow history for longer than 60 days, or contact your Farm Administrator to reconfigure job settings."I didn't find anything concerning on prem - so can I conclude there is no such auto-delete job?Cheersmai-kel

We have been asked to export the nintex workflow history of one of our applications.  Does anyone know of a method for exporting the information specific to this workflow from the Nintex database to another database?Thanks

Hi community,    I would like to setup a Provider Hosted App/API on Azure so that Nintex workflow's web request action can call it.  I would of course install this PHA as an Add-In in SharePoint online.   The Provider Hosted App's purpose will be to hash a file in a SharePoint Online document library.   I'm thinking of securing the Provider Hosted App with only the SharePointContextFilter (and not Azure AD).  I'm figuring since the PHA will already have a clientId/Secret registered in AzureControlServices, why introduce another clientId/Secret from AAD.    Do  I need to setup up this PHA as an web API in order for the web requestion action to hit it?  The reason I ask is because if I leave it as an MVC web app , then I wouldn't have to tinker with the SharePointContextFilter class.     Anyone ever attempt something similar? perhaps the legendary @TomaszPoszytek or @milan_chaloupka could chime in      

Hello All, I am trying to do some clean up on my site and found that I have some forms that have a total file storage space of greater than 100 MB and was wondering if that has some issue with performance for closing some of the forms.   Thank you in advance for your feedback   Brad

I created a new responsive form but it only works with classic list.  When I go to new experience list the form breaks.  I got to nintex forms and republish the new form and switches the list back to classic and form works again.    I want to have the new form and new experience list to work together without rebuilding the whole thing again.

I have created custom workflow activity library that contains 5 new activities. I have successfully created a simple workflow that demonstrates one of that activities. Later, I wanted to insert that particular activity inside an existing older published workflow and I got this error: Error saving from workflow export file.: Nintex.Workflow.NWSavingWorkflowException: Failed to publish workflow: <Error><CompilerError Line="0" Column="0" Text="Activity 'commitActivity8' validation failed: There is already an activity named 'commitActivity8'.

I am using SharePoint 2013.   I have a list called Projects with: --a single line of text column called ProjectName --a multiple lines of text column called RiskInfo I have another list called Risks with: --a single line of text column called RiskName --a lookup column that allows multiple values called ImpactedProjects. This gets information from the Projects list in the ProjectName column. The user selects the values when filling out the Nintex form. --a choice column called RiskClosed (Yes, No)   I would like a site workflow that will update the RiskInfo column in the Projects list with all RiskNames, separated by commas, where RiskClosed=No and ImpactedProjects=ProjectName.   Ex: in my Risk list: RiskName: Risk1 Impacted Projects: Proj1, Proj2, Proj 3 RiskClosed: No   RiskName: Risk2 Impacted Projects: Proj1, Proj3 RiskClosed: No   Then in my Project list, the workflow would populate the RiskInfo columns: ProjectName: Proj1 RiskInfo: Risk1, Risk2   ProjectName: Proj2 RiskInfo: Ris

I'm trying to use the DelegateTask web service, but can't seem to get it to work.  Unfortunately, I'm not getting any errors though, so not sure what the issue is.  I have error handling on, but I'm not gettig any messages.  I have the web service call inside a For Each loop, that is looping through a collection of Task ID's.  Below is how I have my web service call setup.  ID_Task is an ID Type variable.  I also tried it with a number variable but still didn't work.  Anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? 

Hi,I have a form where the user enters a Student ID into a textbox. Upon tabbing or clicking elsewhere, the SQL Request fields below will populate if the Student ID exists. If the Student ID doesn't exist, I want an error message to appear. I've placed the error message on a Rich Text Control that sits on a Panel and added a rule to both. It appears to work fine but I notice my error shows for a split second every time I enter a valid Student ID. Does anyone have any better way of doing this so the error message doesn't show at all when a valid Student ID exists in the database?This is the form...   Here is the rule...the condition reads "not(isNullOrEmpty(StudentName))||isNullOrEmpty(StudentID)"    Here is the error message appearing just before the Student Name, etc. gets populated (this Student ID is valid)... 

Hello, I know this is an ultimately easy task but I can't figure out whyI can't initialize my collection to be able to count the number of itemsit contains. I will explain more:I have a checklist of items. The user can check as many as they want.I created a collection variable colTasks to store the data checked in the form. Next, I want to count the number of items in colTasks usingthe "Collection Operation" action. My problem is, I can't read the checked data to store inside a collectionvariable although it is what is done on the tutorial I'm following.   I tried using a "Set Variable" Action to store my colTasks using List Lookup > Current Item > Tasks but colTasks is not visible in the "Set" field... Am I doing something wrong? Should I use a different approach? Thanks a lot,Davis

I have a form where the initiator selects a user from a people picker field. once the initiator submits, a flexi task will be assigned to the user selected in the people picker field.   The issue is that when the user open the task, he is able to view but when he clicks on save and submit button, he is receiving "This site has not been shared with you".   Note: the selected user is having contribute access to the list form and to the task list. and inside the flexi task he is granted edit action

I am creating a customer satisfaction survey tool to collect responses from Project stakeholders using Nintex. I have 2 lists: - survey collector, where the name of the Project and names of survey respondents are specified, who will then get an email with a link to the actual customer satisfaction survey form - customer satisfaction survey, where the responses provided by the respondents are captured.   The email received by the respondents has a link to the customer satisfaction survey form in Nintex. The customer satisfaction survey form has a drop-down that contains the names of all the Projects that have been entered into the Survey collector list, and this means that respondents will see all the Projects and not just the one they need to provide responses for.   I will like to restrict the drop-down to display just the Project Name for which responses are required or if possible, have the Project name pre-populated when the form is opened.   Please, how do I achieve this?  

Using Nintex, SP2016 on-prem.   I'm using a Nintex classic form for my list and I've added the Nintex Workflow Diagram control to the end of the form, so users can see what is going on with the review and approval WF I've created.     The Run IF actions of the workflow are minimized by default (would like these to be expanded by default, but that is another issue).    Clicking the arrow to expand the Run If action causes an error. This error does not happen when viewing the workflow status on the workflow progress page (NintexWorkflow/Preview.aspx).   Error happens in Edge, Chrome and IE.  Error message written to the console is:   Uncaught ReferenceError: MainScript_ActivityMenuMaximize is not definedat showActivityMenu (mainscript.js:4171)at HTMLDivElement.onclick (DispForm.aspx?ID=9&Source=https%3A%2F%2Fmywebsite%2FmySites%2FLists%2FReviews%2FAllItems.aspx&ContentTypeId=0x010035F41F9E607C6C4499FBA78AFFE36AF6:1837)  the error happens here in the mainscript.js file: if (trs[i

I have a calculated control in my Nintex Form that uses the Lookup function to return a number value from another list. The formula I have used is below:   lookup("LookupEntity","Entity",parseLookup(AuditedEntity,True),"Updated Fee")   The "Updated Fee" column from LookupEntity list is also a calculated column, returning the sum of two columns in the same list, and it is set to return a number value to 2 decimal places.   However, the number returned in the Form via the lookup function varies between 1 and 5 decimal places.   Does anybody know the reason for this? And more importantly, a fix so that the lookup return is consistently to 2 decimal places?   Any help or comments most welcome!
