I created a list in SharePoint 2013.  See detail information below. Columns: Title: not required, but enforced unique State: lookup, required County: lookup, required I create a workflow, to set Title as 'State'-'County'.  If user enter an duplicate item, e.g. CA-Orange is already existed in the list, there is an error happening.   My questio: 1. How to check if an error is happening and pop up a warning to user? For my case, how to check it the data entry is duplicated? 2. How to set the error message in Nintex workflow? Thanks,  Jen

I have a column which captures the month the item was created. How do I create a column which shows the month before this month?   Example: Created month = FEB New column would show month before = Jan.  

Good day,   I am new to nintex and sharepoint please assist, using sharepoint 2013, I have to use create nintex form which will display the information enetrerd on the sharepoint list on this form i have to have about 3 buttons in which when users click, each button must show different option which users should choose from, i am unable to figure a way to do that please assist.

When developing sharepoint solution in Nintex/Sharepoint there is an anomaly that prevents us to save the approver comment to sharepoint (via flexitask action > approval form > multilentext control connection to sharepoint multiline column)   Platform we use is Nintex 2013 & Sharepoint 2016   Better description of the issue:   In nintex workflow we have a flexitask action  that includes nintex approval form    that includes approver comment control (multiline textbox control connected to a sharepoint column)      that does not save its value to sharepoint list column to which it is connected   We tested many things but nothing helped so far:   Strange about the issue is that   * the same procedure on another workflow is working with same configuration and saves values to a sharepoint column flawlessly (triple+ checked)* when we chenge the control to be of type singleline textbox instead of multiline textbox it works flawlessly on the same form* removing and adding a new form

1) create reusable workflow with 2 steps  set variable 'A' type text with value 'Hi, This is email from retention policy WF'  send a variable by email. 2) publish the workflow 3) add the workflow to document library.   4) manage retention policy: created date + 1 day, run a workflow.   when workflow run by a retention policy the email arrived with text  {WorkflowVariable:A}, instead of the value 'Hi, This is email from retention policy WF'   (when I try to run this workflow manually it's well.)  

Hey everyone,   I am having an issue where when I am querying a list of users.   In my For Each action: Each user that is in the collection will trigger an action to create an item in a seperate table. If I choose a list that only has one user it seems to work but when I have 2 or more the workflow fails.. When I check the log in the var for the my user variable it is adding multiple users to the variable instead of just one.. so by the end of the for each loop I am seeing multiple users in the variable concatnated together.. The remove extra char removes: :0#.w|us from each name.. My build string looks like this:      {WorkflowVariable:str_user_2}     {Common:NewLine}     {WorkflowVariable:str_userList_2} Any ideas on why this would be erroring out?

I am creating a Timesheet form and in that I have a calendar control called Week Commencing. I want users only to be able to select Mondays (start of the week) from the control. Its a SharePoint 2013 form.Is that possible, please?

HELP!   I have 2 panels on my form. I want to show one panel if the template selected contains "202", "101", or "103". The other panel, I want to HIDE if the template selected contains "202", "101", or "103."   I am successfully hiding the first panel with this formatting rule: contains(frmTemplate, "202") || contains(frmTemplate, "103") || contains(frmTemplate, "101") || contains(frmTemplate, "Book")   On the other hand, I'm unable to show the other panel going the opposite direction. This formula is NOT working and I can't figure out why.  !contains(frmTemplate, "202") || !contains(frmTemplate, "103") || !contains(frmTemplate, "101") || !contains(frmTemplate, "Book")   I can show the panel if I only use one rule, !contains(frmTemplate, "202"), but that's it. If I add the rest, the panel won't show at all. I even tried creating 3 separate rules, one for each, but that didn't work either.   Any ideas??          

Hi there,I have a form which consist of various controls, two of which are List LookUp (Cascading Drop Down List). One of the functionalities of the form is, everytime the "Clear" button is pressed all of the controls are resetted to their default values (most are set as blank) with the exception Cascading Drop Down List. For some reason when I click the clear button it will set the primary cascading drop down list to the default value, but I need to press the clear button again for it to set the secondary cascading drop downlist.Form Data [Clear button wasn't pressed]Form Data [Clear Button was pressed once]Form Data [Clear Button was pressed for the second time]JavaScript / JQuery code is as follows: function clearInformation(isCompleteErasure) { isDefaultFlag = false; if (isCompleteErasure) { NWF$("#" + ModelName).parent().find("select").prop("selectedIndex", 0).change(); NWF$("#" + SerialNumber).val(""); NWF$(".FormStatusValue").html(""); }

How can I set a form variable using javascript?  I can set a textbox using NWF$('#' + textbox).val('somevalue'); but it doesn't work when I try it with a form variable. Is there a way to do this? The textboxes work for my solution but I don't want these visible to the end user. The textboxes are used in calculated value controls and if I hide them, the calculation doesn't show anything. So if there is a way to do either that would be great.    Thanks JP

Is it possible to use the DelegateTask SOAP method to delegate a task to a SharePoint Group?  If so, what is the format for the targetUsername?  I know you can manually delegate a task to a group, but I need to be able to use the DelegateTask method in my C# project to accomplish this.  I've tried to use the group name as a string with and w/out spaces, but I get the following error:"Server was unable to process request. ---> Failed to find user 'PortfolioAnalystGroup'. Ensuring the user exists failed."

I am creating a form to upload content to a library.  Is there a way to get the default "name" to refer to the name of the document that is being uploaded? 

I have a SP list of staff names, employee number and a date they went on leave. I'm trying to create a workflow which will look at this list once a day and, if the date the employee went on leave is 24 days or greater than the current day, collect the staff name, employee number and the date they went on leave then send a person an email.   I'm runninging into problems on how the workflow calculates the difference between dates, how is it stored and how that date difference triggers the workflow.   Thanks Andrew

Hello,   I recently developed a rather simple ordering process with a single workflow that is set to "start when items are created". The process has been used to place just shy of 700 orders in the three weeks it has been used and for all but two orders the workflow has run flawlessly. However, for these two orders (one ordered on 02/03 and one on 03/03) the items have been submitted without starting the workflow. Again, the workflows have not errored, instead they have simply not started.   Does anyone know what might have happened for these two anomalies? I do not know where to begin to troubleshoot these issues.   Thanks in advance

How to auto populate values in a SharePoint column based on another column value, using nintex workflow. The list has 200+ entries.

I have a Nintex Live form that will need the signature of 3 people outside the network.  I usually send a link (Item URL) to the Nintex Live form in an email.  I need to capture the Nintex Live form ID after the first person submits so I can provide the Item URL+ID in the emails that go to the second and third person that will submit the form.  Is there a way to do this?

whether existing or adding new "Set Field Value" Workflow Action, I receive the Sorry, something went wrong error, cannot add or update this workflow action   see attachment

We just realized our site collection (which has multiple sites within it) is allowing users to create Nintex workflows. This is undesirable, as it is a function of our department (Information Technology) and these users don't have any idea what they are doing when they see the option to create one in their document libraries. Is there a method to disable this functionality across ALL sites within the site collection? Can we limit it to only a certain group for ALL sites within our site collection? If not, disabling it completely would work. How can we go about solving this issue in our environment?  Currently the "Allowed Workflow Designers" group gets inherited every time a new site is created, which led us to this issue.  Because it is a site-level setting, and because we have 100's of sites, we are looking for a more 'blanket' approach to removing access to end users for Nintex Workflow creation.

I would like to know if anyone can help point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find a way to have a repeating group that has a number of fields that users can edit and add rows. On another "page" (panel), I want to show this same data but with other controls that will be connected to another column in the master list. Is there a way that the first repeating group changes can update the second repeating group common fields? For example. Lets say on the first repeating group there is course code and course title then a few other fields like hours credits etc. users have the ability to add/update/delete rows. On the second repeating group, the common fields are Course Code, and Course title. I want to make these read only and not allow the user to make changes here. There would be different fields in this repeating group not really related to the first, other than by course code. I might be over complicating things here, but my main issue is there are alot of fields in the second

Hi all,   i have the following problem and i've been on a google deepdive and somehow that didnt bring up a solution: I have 4 Lists as displayed in the screenshot   I now want to build a workflow that runs after an item in List 4 is added. Let's assume, I just added the item with ID 1 in List 4. 1. Split "Users" by comma and store in collection (not sure if this works correctly at the moment, as users is also a Lookup with mutliple choices allowed). 2. For each User Update Column "Reports" in List 3 by appending the current value with the value "Report" from list 4. 3. Delete Item.   Step 2 is the one where everything fails. My first idea was to query list 3 for the value "Reports", store that into a collection, use collection operation to add value "Report" from list 4 and then write that new collection to the field "Reports" in list 3 again.Somehow that didn't work as expected.Any help is highly appreciated.   Best regards, Jsor

Hello,  I'm working in Nintex 3.3.1.0 on SharePoint 2013.  I need a list workflow that will run when an item is modified, depending on the previous values and current values of the field Status.  The workflow should start if an item is modified and the field Status is set to Closed, Rejected or Finished. However, if the item is modified but the Status was already set on Closed, Rejected or Finished and during the edit the status is not changed, then the workflow should not start.    The idea is to record the first date when the item is placed on either one of the three statuses but not update the value if further edits are done to the item and the status remains the same.      So far I created a workflow that starts when the item is modified with the condition that the previous status is not Closed or Finished or Rejected.  It then uses a switch to check if the current status is on Closed, Finished or Rejected, stores the Modified value to a variable and updates the fields Closed date/
