Using Nintex 2013.  Within a workflow, I'm trying to extract just Last name from a Variable that is set to DisplayName of a Person/People column.   So if Display Name is Smith, John  then I want to just get Smith.   Goal is to put the last name in a Notification Email subject, such as Subject:  Attention - Smith - please approve.  I'd like to use some kind of function or combination of functions such as Mid.   Any ideas? 

I have a "Submit" yes/no column once users are ready to finalize the form. Upon "Submit" I want to require a Vendor2ProposedPrice column, which is a SharePoint currency column. Adding this rule to the Vendor2ProposedPrice column works when the column is blank/empty:   and(Submit==true, isNullOrEmpty({Self}))   The problem is the currency column is blank only when the form is new, or being filled out for the first time. Once the form is saved as a draft the currency column populates a default of 0, even though I have no default set in the SP column. So the formula works if users submit as draft but once they go back in the formula doesn't work because the field is no longer "empty". I tried the formula below but it doesn't work because it doesn't work only on submit, as it forces a price for drafts as well. Which I don't want it to do. I want it to force a number higher than 0 upon "Submit" only.  and(Submit==true, isNullOrEmpty({Self})) || equals(Submit==true, Vendor2ProposedPrice=="0"

I'm trying to have a single line text box pop up when 'other' is chosen from a group of choices. Multiple choices are allowed, I just want to have the control be visible when that individual check box is clicked. Attached is the referenced control. Thanks to any and all help!

Hello All,   I have a list that has a 2 multi-line text fields (Notes and All comments).   A workflow runs on the Notes field (entry by user) and date/time/user stamps the comment and appends it to All Comments field.   Is there a way to check the All Comments field for the Note entered by the user to see if that Note has already been entered (so that the same "Note" doesn't end up diplicating - with a different date/time)?   EX: User 1 enters: "This is great" in the Notes field. The workflow copies the Note, stamps it updates the All comments field = "User 1; 2/20/20 8:55 PM: This is great." and deletes/empties the Notes field.   User 1 comes back later and enters "This is great" in the Notes field.   I dont want the All Comments field to read: "User 1; 2/20/20 10:00 PM: This is great." "User 1; 2/20/20 8:55 PM: This is great."   I just want to delete the 10:00 PM entry from the notes field since that was previously capture.   Thanks in advance!

I have a Nintex Form on a list that has about 62 different options / templates...   The user is first directed to choose a department. Once they choose their department, the 'Template' field populates with any template associated with that specific department....    All of these 62 templates use the same exact form layout with the same fields. If the user selects "Funds Transfer" it wlil give them about 4 templates to choose from. If they then choose "JPMC" I want the other fields on the form (all of which are standard fields) to auto populate with the corresponding bank information associated with the selected department/template chosen in the first two fields.   Right now, I've got the department / template look up fields to work. But, when they choose the 'Template', none of the other fields populate with what they're supposed to...   Does this make sense to anyone, can anyone help!?!

Hello,   i have a validation workflow and we want to ask the user credential when he wants to approve the task even if he is already connected with the same account.   The reason is that we need this action from the user to insure that it is him when he validates the task.   Thx a lot !   Xavier.    

Hello, I'm having troubles save or publish my workflow. After pressing save or publish i get this:   This happens, even if i try to save current version without any changes. Any advice please?   Thank you.  

Hoping this community can provide some insight/advice...   I have a User Group where each month, they need to certify that they've completed a task.  It's the same task for every User in the group.  Basically just need something acknowledging they've done it.   Thinking a simple "Checkbox" on the Sharepoint page for them to check and submit.  Wondering if using Sharepoint Tasks could accomplish this.  But I don't know anything about Tasks.   Would Tasks work for what I need?  And could I set something up in Nintex Workflows that sets it as a recurring task that appears for each of those Users on a monthly basis?

I have created a workflow which poplulates a Word document using the Update Document action.  It was working but is suddenly producing codes like </p> etc in the document (I assume these are the html codes).  I have tried to recreate the document but it still produces these symbols.  I have another workflow with the same information using a different list and template and this one works perfectly.   I appreciate any help I can get.   Thank you.

I have added a column validation in a single line text to have  minimum characters. I created a nintex form and everything seems to work, I put less than the minimum and I am supposed to get an error saying "Must have 8 characters or more" but i am getting "Sorry something went wrong, please try again" and it is not highlighting the column section as it would when you have a required field.   Validation i placed is:  1: =IF(LEN([Column Name])>7,TRUE,FALSE) or 2: =LEN([column name])>=7  

I have a list with two content types.  I created two forms based on the content types. I can create a new item with either form.   However, after I created an item with form1.  there seems no way for me to open it in the 2nd form.   My goal is to have two sets of data for each list item.  User will use form 1 to submit one set of data.  then user will open the item in form 2 to submit another set of data.   Is it possible? Thank you.

I've used a condition to hide one panel. But, it won't hide. What ever conditions i used, the panel still displaying. i thought , the cache issue, but not sure. Is there any limitations in nintex form about creating a formula to hide the panel. Because, i've done many coditions to hide others. Really strange to me. 

Hello All, I am a new user of Nintex. I am using it with SharePoint 2013.  I have a list named New-Hire Tracker that has 3 "Person or Group" fields: - New Hire (AD Association) - Assigned Sponsor - Supervisor and a workflow (New-Hire Workflow) that executes every time something changes.    I have a second list named In-Processing Checklist that is populated by the New-Hire Workflow  by using the "Create Item in In-Processing Checklist List":   I am unable to successfully update the 2nd list when the 1st list changes. IE: If the Assigned Sponsor in the first list changes, it won't update the second list. I've temporarily disabled the "Update Multiple Items" action because it isn't working. Is there a way to tie the two lists together in a more reliable way so that they update?

SharePoint List itemsField type: currency, no decimals.  Output ex.: $1,500 Requirement:Email HTML table (daily cost report) with desirable output $1,550. This is because the numbers reported are in millions.  Issue:Inline function currency() displays cents/decimals. Output $1,550.00.  Storing field as number type variable, output is missing the thousand separator (ex.: 1500).Wasn't able to format the variables (number, text or currency types) to the desired format. I tried using inline function with text variable (remove() and round()), but I must be doing something wrong,  it’s parsing the literal text.  I thought this would be something simple but I'm stuck.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks!                   

I have a drop down located in a repeating section that has several different choices in the dropdown.  I have a panel below it that I need to hide until they choose something in the dropdown (anything) and then it will populate.

Hello, I am trying to create a lookup function for a list of 5,000 diagnoses that works similar to the column type "person or group".   For ease of use for the end users, I'd like for them to be able to start typing a diagnoses and the drop down to populate the choices that fall into that. For example, if a user starts to type "diabetes" all records that have diabetes somewhere in the text would be the remaining items in the drop down for the user to select. As they enter more information less options would be found, as long as it is a direct match. Example, "diabetes with".   The current functionality I've found only works if "diabetes" is the first word in the data and the user quickly types out "dia".    Thank you for your assistance
