Admittedly, I'm new to Flexi Tasks, etc.  But I have a workflow where a task is assigned to more than one person, and each person is required to provide approval.  For some reason, when one person provides approval, the others get the message that their approval is no longer required.  The attached image shows this step in my workflow.  What can be done in order to make sure each person makes their approval?

Hi there!  I am new here and I have a simple question.  I am utilizing SharePoint 2013.  I have a Nintex form (List A) with fields/columns to capture data for Workman Comp claims.  This is sensitive data, therefore I have created a workflow (WF A) to write selected fields (that contain non-sensative data) over to a second list (List B) for directors to review.  This works great.  However, there are times when certain fields in List A are modified - and these changes need to be reflected in List B.  So I created a second workflow (WF B) with a conditional start.  I have tried many different approaches, but  no matter what way I try, my 2nd workflow will update the value correctly -- but it is updating ALL items for that field in List B.  Can anyone please help me headed in the right direction?  Please??  I have tried using the Update Items action and Update Multiple Items Action.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you!!!  :-)

I've read through many a forum thread and I have yet to find an answer to this that doesn't involve some convoluted method to achieve.  Here's an example Approval URL:   http://farmname/sites/dsmre/sme90/Lists/Workflow%20Tasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=2659   If anyone can instruct me on how to retrieve that unique identifier at the end of the URL (2659 in the example), I would really appreciate it!   NOTE:  I'm aware that these URL's can be inserted into task notification/reminder/escalation emails through the task's configuration tabs.  However, my users' specifications for email notifications are not achievable through the task configuration--it's not granular enough.   Thanks in advance

 Symptoms  Error message “An error occurred trying to authenticate the user --> The server could not be contacted --> The LDAP server is unavailable” being displayed upon attempt to open any smartform or K2 Designer or K2 Workspace. No changes to K2 environments were made before this error appear. Error appears when accessing forms or K2 Designer both from client machines and from the K2 server.  Diagnoses    This error message is a bit misleading as it may be linked with LDAP connection strings and AD DS connectity. But it may also be related with issues with connectivity between K2 Server (one which hosts web applications, i.e. Workspace, Runtime and Designer) and SQL server.   For such symptoms it may be also necessary to check IIS authentication and LDAP connectivity. If those are seemingly in order you may run K2 Setup Manager in configuration mode and see if there are any errors reported during the process. In particular, in case of such symptoms you may see the following K

Hi Everyone I have a choice (check box list) of 5 items (Portfolio List) which is displayed across the form.  There are a number of products listed in another choice (Check box) list.  I would like to have the relevant products appearing underneath the 5 items above.  The issue is that both lists can have multiple selections made.  For example: FieldA              FieldB Finance         Options are F-Auto, F-Equip, FSales Lending         Options are L-Cash, L-Market, L-Banks Merchants     Options are M-Equip, M-Card, M-No Card, M-xxx, M-yyy etc   At the moment the all items for Field B are in one list.   When the user selects Finance, I would like only those options for Finance to appear.  They can select more than one item in FieldA and they can also select more than one item in FieldB. Is this possible? I have had a look at one example but the FieldA was not a choice list so it didn't work.   Thanks again for all your help.   Regards Renee

I am using nintex workflow to log the date when action is executed through the following window:   once that happens, it logs the date in sharepoint list column in the following format, 'MM/DD/YYYY', whereas I am looking to log the date in the format, 'DD/MM/YYYY'.   Any suggestions ?

I am attempting this query with an Execute SQL action: exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name=test And I get this error: The execution returned an unexpected error.The specified @job_name ('test') does not exist.   The same statement works when I run it using SSMS: exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name=test result: Job 'test' started successfully.   I copied and pasted between SSMS and Nintex to be certain that I am using the exact same job name.   Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!  

We are attempting to retreive repeating section data that is stored in a multi-line text field (plain text) via the rest api. When querying the data, we are not returning any results even though the data is visible in the list view.   Are there special considerations that need to be taken into consideration when using the rest api?   This is the list view results: api results:   rest api call: https://internalpoint/department/Virtual/_api/Web/Lists/getbytitle('eLog')/items?$select=Interventions

Basic Ask: a point in the right direction (and thanks, for reading this through) Background: I have been learning Nintex on my own (incl. tutorials) for the past couple of years (as and when time permits) and have created some really complicated forms with sizable amount of JS (auto logging on user IDs/dates, setting values on user actions, hiding/showing sections, "parametrically populated" dropdowns,  et.al.). After months of trying to get it together I feel it is time to check with the community on this VERY, VERY, basic thing that I am unable to wrap my mind around. Oh! I also have the only book I could find on NinTex -- written by Martijn Bleikertz.   My question: What comes first -- workflow or forms? Do I create a workflow and then create forms (or portions of it) applicable to the workflow? Or do I create the ENTIRE form and then add the workflow? I've tried both and can't seem to make headway beyond staring at the screen wondering if it would work.PLEASE HELP!!! Not looking fo

Hi, Nothing happens when I click (or double click) on either of these icons. I'm trying to insert a reference for Item URL in an email notification but want to change the display text of the URL.

Dragging and/or adding actions in workflow designer does not work in Microsoft's new internet browser "Edge".  I understand Internet Explorer is the only supported browser, but I'd like to know when support for this browser is planned.  Thanks!

Inspired by Rhia Wieclawek‌ blog Targeting a Panel via URL (or: How to Idiot-Proof Notifications)I have a form with tabs and panels etc.and I'd like to be able to open the form on a specific tab if the URL contains a query string. So an email is sent via workflow to a user and the link to the item is appended with a query string to open a specific tab on the form. In my mind, I should be able to use the choice controls default value to use the GetQueryString inline function to set the default value of the choice control and therefore the tab.My query string is simply someform.aspx?ID=1&OpenTab=SalaryDetailsand then function in the default value of the tabs was just fn-GetQueryString(OpenTab)This doesn't seem to work though (yes one of the options in the Choice control is SalaryDetails).Ultimately I'd want an If function in there as well to tell the form to open on the default tab if there is no query string (i.e. a new form or opened direct from the SharePoint list. Something like

Hello, I have a textbox in which I defined the value of a calculated field using JavaScript. Here is the JS Code: NWF$(document).ready(function(){ NWF$('#' + CenCouVal).change(function(){ var selection = NWF$('#' + CenCouVal); NWF$('#' + varText).val(selection.val()); }); }); CenCouVal represents the client ID JavaScript variable name of the calculated value. varText represents the client ID JavaScript variable name of the textbox.   This textbox is located in a Repeating Section in which I have defined 3 rows by default (see picture below). Can someone tell me how I can put the textbox value in the red box in the first row ? Is it also possible to set this value in all textboxes on this column ? Thanks  

Hello all, I'm usually able to ham fist my way through my issues but have hit a snag that requires expert guidance. I am trying to collect a list of user ID's via the Query List function, looping for each item, building a string (i:0#.w|{myvariable}) and then updating the item column with the multiple values returned. The WF is capturing all of the user ID's as requested but appears to not store them in the variable I specified and results in only the last ID in the looping group being entered into the People/Group field.   My ultimate goal is to be able to email the selected users (for this particular application) but have also been trying to figure this out for other forms I have to be able to update views based on users.   Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,   I have a workflow sending approval request to multiple users. It's set to need only one approval.   I have their emails in a collection (also tried string) and I've turned off the "send individual notifications" checkbox.  The issue is that and email still goes out to each approver individually, this also causes the CC'ed requester to get the approvers-count of duplicate emails.    It seems simple, but I've scoured and don't see how to get a single email out to a group of select individuals (so this excludes AD or sharepoint groups) so that all recievers can see who else has recieved the email.  I've considered making a temporary group in active directory or a temporary audience, but would like to avoid that if possible.    Any insites appreciated! Thanks in advance ") 

Hi all,   I have an issue where we want to be able to track the name of the user who completed a flexi-task. However, the task itself has an option within the form to choose another users name. The user can then Save the form (without submitting) and leave the form. This means any other user within the group that was assigned the task, knows whether the task is being handled offline by someone else and to just leave it with them.   The issue comes that the Task Reviewer Workflow Tasks column only ever picks up the name of the first person to enter the form and perform an action. We need to be able to extract the name of whichever user is the one to actually Save and Submit the form in the final instance. Does anyone know of how to do this?   Thanks in advance. Sean

Hi,   I stumbled upon a strange issue. We are using List Views in Parent-Child relationship lists to display an parents child entries in another list. For this, I am adding a list view to the form and filter by a specified value. Where field "Parent" = ItemProperty:ID A User now mentioned, that filtering and ordering does not work within this listview. When a column is selected, it is always showing a popup "Working on it..." which never goes away.   To replicate this issue, I created two lists like this: List A: Title, TheFilterColumn (Choice Field, Values: Filter1, Filter2, Filter3) List B: Title I then added a Nintex Form to List B, added a List View showing List A and published. In new Mode, filtering worked as intended.   Then I went back to the form and applied a filter in "Filtering" Setting. This resulted in the form again not allowing to order or filter: Anyone got any ideas how to fix this? Maybe it is a known issue? Would updating our forms version help?  I could not find

There is a known issue with auto provision of the Nintex External Relay Service. One of my clients needs to disable the service.

I need assistance copying attachments from a secondary attachment field on a list form to a document set in another library. Is there any way to filter the attachments so that only the attachments from the appropriate attachment section are copied? I do not want all the attachments to copy and I need to update a document set that contains documents that cannot be overwritten or altered. There may be more than one attachment in the secondary attachment field. 

The Cntrl and Select does not work I cannot link a rule to a selection of Controls. If I link a rule to one control it links it to all controls  

Greetings: I am using a Nintex workflow that, as one of its actions, sends a message to our local ticketing system (OTRS). The ticketing system is configured to return an auto-response to the sender. This causes a response from Nintex back to the ticketing system  that it is "unable to match the response to a running workflow."  I am trying to avoid this message back from Nintex.   We have discovered that if we use a Request Review action in the workflow, instead of a Send Notification to send the message to the ticketing system, the subject line of the message includes a token in the form of [#DDDK....#] that identifies the workflow and allows a return message. For many reasons I'd prefer to use the Send Notification action but can't find a context variable that looks anything like the token appended by the Request Review action. I tried the Workflow ID but that's not it. What is that token in the form of [#DDD...whatever...#] and how can I reference it directly?   Thanks, Bruce

I have a single Line Text Box form control called "Opportunity Name" which is used as a string element in a workflow generated library folder name. Obviously I want to prevent Users from entering illegal characters in the test box as these cause the subsequent create folder workflow to fail, I would like to use a "Contains({self},.... validation rule to achive this, giving users the opportunity to create a meaningful title, rather than forcing the naming convention using a linked "Replace" calculation, any thoughts??
