We are using Sharepoint 2013 on Prem with Nintex Forms 2013.  I would like to add a Save and Continue button to a very long form but it is not in my drop down for Button action.  Does anyone know how I get it?

I migrated a site collection from one sharepoint 2013 server to another 2013 server. After migration, I cannot open the nintex form designer.  The error message is Invalid enum value "String 2" cannot be deserialized into type 'system.web.ui.webcontrols.validationdatatype'. How do I fix the problem.    It looks I can open the nintex form designer on other lists.  The problem only occurs on one list. Can I delete the existing form and manually import it? Thanks.    

I have an inspection report that used to be done on a form that had an embossed case number at the top of each form.  I need to figure out a way to autopopulate a number on the nintex form, so that they have a reference when they do write ups and other parts of the inspection.  I am new to Nintex and have researched everything that I could and I can't figure this out.  I need step by step instructions! LOL!

Trying to find a config articel to get my Lazy Approvals to work with Exchange Online from SP 2013 running Nintex 2013 WF

Two workflows errors notices this morning with the error message "[name of the workflow] failed ot run" They both ran, they both completed, and if pull up the list item in SharePoint and click on the workflow link, the workflow instance doesn't show up at all...either as having completed or failed. When I look at the Nintex "workflow view" of the error it shows a yellow parent action, but when expanded to show all the child actions, they are all green. When I look at the Nintex detail view, under "Action History" at the top I see a very long list of workflow actions (it's a long workflow)  that terminates in "End Workflow"; if I scroll down to the "Workflow Messages" section I just see the error message telling me the workflow didn't run. When I re-run the workflow it completes as expected.   I've recently been cataloging these errors and noticed that I had a similar error happen to an item 4 days ago.   These are list workflows set to run when the item changes. Other instances of the

Hello!   I've been having issues with the action "Set Field Value" where I am trying to change a boolean value to "Yes" in a workflow. I've double checked my data types and have tried using String/Number fields as well. I have also tried using "Update Field Value" as well as added a "Commit Pending Changes" action before the "Set Field Value".   The error I am getting is "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."   The weird thing is that restarting the workflow manually works - workflow won't error/boolean value will change as intended. I am not sure why it fails when run by the system.   Any pointers would be much appreciated, thank you! TC

Hello,   is there a way to start a Power Automate (Flow) - Cloud  by a Nintex Workflow SharePoint 2016 - On Premises?   Thank you for any ideas.

Hi @ all,   i have a list to monitor licenses that hae an expire date of 1 year. We have following columns: "purchase date" - "reminder1-date" - "reminder2-date" - "expire-date" based on the purchase date the dates are calculatet like this: 14 days before due date, 7 days before due date and 360 days from purchase date.. this works very well. I want to send a reminder-email to the user on the two reminder dates and a notification to admins on the expire date. I setup a workflow and trigger it manually to send an email on first reminder date, i could build two additonal workflows for second reminder date and ond for the notification mail on axpire date and this would work but i want to build only one workflow that send the email on every three scenario with different text and it should be run automated, could you please help to build the nested workflow to send scheduled emails? thnx in advanced.

I have a document library with document sets.The newform is replaced by a nintex form to allow an easier way to add metadata to the document set on creation.When the document set is created, SharePoint returns to the document library. The user has to search his new document set and open it.  However the user expects that the welcome screen of the document set opens so he can add his documents directly.I've tried with the redirect url in nintex forms, but didn't works as expected.  Suggestions?

Hello,  I'm working in Nintex 3.3.1.0 on SharePoint 2013.  I have a list of items and I need to create a workflow what will send a notification if three multitext fields have not been updated  for more than 3 days since the status of the item was set on "Accepted" .   I was thinking on starting the workflow when the status is set on Accepted, store the values of the three fields in a variable , pause the workflow for 3 days and then Set a condition to check if the values of the fields are equal to the variable or if they are empty.    I created something like :    If field1 equals field1Var or field1 is empty >send notification.  This works.    When I try with : If field1 equals field1Var and field2 equals field2Var or field1 is empty and field2 is empty   this doesn't work.    Do you have any suggestions how to check if all three notification are either equal to their corresponding fieldVar or empty ?   Thank you in advance. 

Dear Nintex experts, I truly hope anyone can support me. I'm someone that learned about Nintex from all the people on this forum.   For my work I created a list to capture projects that are beining implemented. For each project I want a site workflow that runs everyday and checks projects for due or overdue milestones. I have in my form 10 fields for milestones (created in infopath), but offcourse not every project has 10 milesontes: A milstone can also be completed, so a project manager should not get a reminder for a completed milestone. Therefore I created column if a milestone is active (milestone fields is not blanc and status of the milestone is not completed).   So for query list, I've configured in this way: However the projects are simply omitted and there are no reminders send. When I do this for 3 milestones and 3 milestones are populated, then it works.   Anyone can help me to get this working or give me advice to change my approach?   Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi, I got lot of help from this community so far. Thank you everyone :) I have unique requirement to implement in one of the forms. Below is the scenario: Review List: List where all responses are saved for each Opportunity ID every month. User fill the form based on this list every month. so, every month a new entry gets generated for a specific and unique Opportunity ID. Master List: This list is unique. Each Opportunity ID will have only one entry. I have created a workflow to update the master list with latest entries from Review list responses. Requirement: I need a way, where when the users filling the form (based out of Review list) should see the choice fields auto populated with their last responses. So that it will be easier for them to fill the questionnaire.   Please help.

Dear community,   I have a workflow set up in Nintex for SPS 2013 which uses the action "Exchange online create calendar item" from the Nintex Live Catalog to create an appointment in the Outlook Calendar (online exchange). The WF starts via a Start Form which one submits. 30 days ago it was functioning fine, the only problem was that the entire process was taking 2 minutes, meantime not being possible to submit the form again (the second user had to wait the wf instance to finish in order to submit the form again). Currently, the wf remains in idle state (even 3 days) at this particular action, although the appointment is created in the Calendar, but the wf doesn't go further to the next action (sending a notification). Can someone give me a clue where to start digging what doesn't function, I even don't know what could go wrong.   Thanks a lot!

Hello,I have recently started seeing variables within two of my workflows dropping data. I can set the data and use it immediately, but later on in the workflow the variables come up empty of values. There is nothing else in the workflow that touches or manipulates the variable.Here is the real fun part, this does not happen when I run the workflow, but only when other people that are not administrator's run the workflow. Including people who have full control over the site and all items within the site. One of the workflows is a site workflow, the other is a list.Anybody ever encounter this?  If so, know how to fix?

We have a workflow that, among other things, will send an email.  On random occassions the email will be sent with the wrong data.  The subject will have the correct project number, the data in the email will be correct and even reference the correct data, but the url in the email will go to some other project.   This doesn't happen regularly but seems to be occurring more and more frequently.  We assumed this was some sort of caching issue, but other than that we are not sure how this could happen.    

I have a workflow that was written as a site workflow, then moved into a 'site' user-defined function.   Realizing this was wrong, we properly converted it to a .uda and imported it with CentralAdmin.  All is well, the udf works properly. When we did these steps, we exported the workflow as an .nwf, then converted it to a .uda.  I have both files, the .nwf and .uda files.  The files are clearly different.  The .nwf is a blob of clear-text ASCII, the .uda is an .xml file.    Trying to import the .nfw back into a new workflow in order to review the code, we get an error along the lines : "I can't do that dave.  This is a .uda."Is there a way to (de-compile) the code and return it to an editable file?  It appears we should have saved the .nwf file earlier in the process.

Hey everyone,    I have a SharePoint site with two lists. One is the 'form' list and includes a bunch of different columns required for the form. The other list is made specifically for lookup purposes and includes a column for purchasing groups and another column for what buyer leads each purchasing group. The form is aimed to complete an order requisition for a client. The place I am stuck is that when a user picks a purchasing group, I want a calculated value to retrieve the buyer associated with that certain purchasing group.    Refer to the picture below for a better idea of what I am trying to accomplish. 

Hi Guys,   I have a case, where I want to add the Approval URL into an e-mail using the fn-replace function.   Background: Mail templates are stored in another list. There the approval url is referenced as ... Click <a href='"{TaskURL}"'>here</a> ... so that the users receive nicely formatted links.   For some reason, the "{TaskURL}" gets replaced to a span element, making the link not clickable: In the mail, replace is used as follows: fn-Replace({TextStart}multi_MailBody{TextEnd},"{TaskURL}",Approval URL) multi_MailBody is the variable and Approval URL is from the Common-Section when inserting References.    All other columns are inserted before using the regular expression action in the workflow which works fine. Unfortunately I can´t add the Task URL before the Task has been created.   I tried replacing only {TaskURL} (no quotes) but that resulted in no text being replaced at all.

A simple Windows Forms based tool for testing a connection to a K2 Workflow REST API endpoint using OAuth configuration values specified. Because these connections can often be tested from any remote client, there should be no opposition to running the executable.  Errors are caught on a high level and displayed in a message box:  NOTE: The tool can only be used to test against the workflows API - i.e. https://{your K2 URL}/api/workflow/v1/workflows 

Since updating to Enterprise 2013 workflow v3.5.0.0, When I set a variable to a user item property, the three dot button where i would previously have set 'Display Name' is not working. Clicking it does nothing. The browser console reports:   SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'selectedIndex' of undefined or null reference   This is impacting us quite seriosuly as we cannot get clean names into our documents.

 Symptoms The client created a list view with a lot of columns. He wants the ability to set the width of the view. If the width is bigger than the current screen size, he wants the horizontal scrollbar to appear. (In both the designer and during runtime. Diagnoses At the moment there is no OOTB functionality that will allow horizontal scroll bars to appear on a view based on certain criteria. Resolution I routed the ticket to the LABS support team for investigations and the engineer working the ticket has linked this ticket to an existing TFS item. Once implemented, you will have the ability to set the max height and width on a view. The overflow will result in scroll bars in the view. 

Hi All!   I currently have a workflow that sends a list summary to users daily and links the user to the item. There is one field that the user needs to update (yes/no). Some users have multiple items, is there a way to add an actionable "yes/no" column to the summary and if the user checks a box on the e-mail that would update the list?
