Hello all,I require help with setting up a workflow process which checks if the selected date & time does not fall within the range of existing date within a custom list in sharepoint 2016 onpremise.Similarly, I asked somebody to code a JS code to validate on the form:https://community.nintex.com/message/85369-re-how-to-check-if-a-date-time-falls-within-a-range-and-avoid-double-booking?… can such validation also be performed when the form is submitted via workflow?? Thus is to ensure that the date does not exist in the custom list which may happen if 2 users submit a request within a time at similar time.Cheers,

Greetings:Is there a way to programmatically obtain the version number of the latest published form for display on that form? The version number appears on the design canvas and in the version history list (see images) but I can't find a way to capture that in a form variable for display in the footer of published forms.  In the example shown I would expect to get version=10.0.  Environment: Nintex Enterprise Forms, 2010.Thanks,Bruce  

We are running Nintex WF 2016 on-prem.I have a workflow that calls a sub-workflow.  The main workflow run fine, it calls the sub-workflow and executes several actions.  However it errors just before a "Pause for Item Update" action that causes the sub and main workflow to end.The error in the main workflow is:  Error retrieving workflow data. Invalid workflow instance Id. Workflow Id's must be in the format (xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).  The error in the sub-workflow is An error has occurred in <sub-wf name>.I have gotten this error previously.  Republishing the sub-workflow would resolve the error.  But now that "fix" no longer works.  I have not found anything that references this error.Has anyone else ever see this error?  Any ideas what the cause may be?  (The SharePoint logs don't provide any helpful info.)Regards,Ken

Hi everyone,I have this workflow that will run when a maintenance was created in the calendar app in sharepoint. I successfully sync it to my outlook calendar using a Create Appointment action. But I encounter some issues when updating or modifying the schedule of the maintenance it updates in the sharepoint calendar but not on the Outlook calendar. I can create another workflow that will run when the maintenance is modified but using the Create Appointment action will only create another appointment so there is a redundancy of appointments. For example:I created a maintenance that is scheduledApril 1, 20161:00 PM to 3:00 PMIt will be sync in the Outlook CalendarApril 1, 20161:00 PM to 3:00 PMBut when I modified the maintenance in the SharePoint Calendar it will not sync in the Outlook Calendar.Modified Maintenance in SharePoint CalendarApril 1, 20165:00 PM to 7:00 PMOutlook Calendar did not syncApril 1, 20161:00 PM to 3:00 PMIs the Web Request action is the right one to use here? But

I am new to Nintex and thought this would have to be simple, but all the discussions I have seen are very complex. I have a single approval that if rejected, needs to be sent back to the initiator and then they make any necessary corrections and resubmit. How can I make that happen?

I have a repeating section with a bunch of columns in it like Textbox, drop downs etc.First column is like a serial number. Can I make that column as auto increment?If I can, can I start the first record should start from 2.1 then 2.2,2.3 and going forward?

Greetings Everyone, I am having problems with flexi-task modified forms.  I modified a flexi-task form and after publishing the workflow the changed form is not showing.  It seems that the form is not being published.  Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

Getting the following error when trying to access "Health checks" within Ninetx Administration fresh install on SharePoint 2016 The resource object with key 'LiveAdmin_Page_HealthChecks_Title' was not found. 

There are a number of "special characters" that SharePoint will not allow in file/folder names (e.g. &, #, %).  However, the browse function used by the Nintex "attachments" control allows users to select files with some of these characters in the file name.  This guarantees a failure which the user cannot understand or recover from. Sequence of events is something like:User selects a file with "&" in the name to attach to a Nintex form.  No errors or warnings are generated.User completes the form and clicks "submit".  The form exits and the associated workflow is invoked.  User is still unaware of any problems.The workflow fails immediately when SharePoint tries to save the file name with the "&". A SharePoint error message is displayed ("Sorry, something went wrong...).The user does not understand the error (even if the s/he understood the error, it is too late to get back to the form and address the file name issue).All processing of this form fails and both the user an

SO I have had an interesting question put to me, and for the life of my I can't get any CSS tricks to work, so I thought jQuery might be a more elegant solution anyway.. So I found this jQuery Plugin For Smooth Auto-expanding Textarea - autoexpand | Free jQuery Plugins and I thought that is cool.I'm the first one to put my hand up and say I am not a developer, and it is times like this, that I wish I had some moderate dev skill.. but alas..So I'm throwing down the gauntlet.. What is the best way to have a multiline text field without using scroll bars that expands and I fill in more text... ?

Hi,Can anyone please outline the steps to copy the attachment URLS with the names of the attachment into a list field. It should include all the attachments using a comma or semi colon seperator.Thank you,

Why is it that I can set a task reminder to go out after a set number of business days or hours, and I can pause for a number of business days, but I can't calculate a date that is X business days/hours away? I've tried out two UDAs available online, but they aren't working very well for me. I'm using Nintex WF and Forms 2013 Enterprise. In my workflow I check to see what "media type" has been selected, and then assign a due date based on what has been requested.

Since SP's DateTime control does not allow me to let the user specify anything non-date I use a text box and a jquery calendar control and set the constraint to false.Then just apply the CSS where needed. It works good except for in a repeating section.NWF$('.DATEFIELD input').attr("placeholder", "mm/dd/yyyy").datepicker({ constrainInput: false });The problem exists after you add a row. The calendar pops up and you can click the date but it does not populate the field. The Placeholder exists. But no date is populated. If I save and exit and go to the next row it works only if the row exists, just not after I click add row.Any ideas?Thanks.

Is it possible within a Workflow  to loop thru all items in a list and determine if an attachment has been modified ?  My goal is to send out an email if someone modified an attachment, but I do not want to send out an email if the list properties have been modified (any column other than Atttachment)...Ideas/suggestions ?

Greetings:I want to start documenting the forms we have created with Nintex Forms, including the form's controls, variables, rules, etc. I started doing this manually but then realized that the Form.xml  (exported form) already has all the information that I want (and much more) but to make it more readable I'd need to convert it into an HTML format, showing only the information that I am interested in.  This, of course, suggested that I write an XSLT stylesheet to transform the exported Form.xml into an informative, self-documenting, web page.  Good idea but......so far I have been unable to transform the Form.xml, even for such  such a simple purpose as displaying just the display names of the controls. For example, here is an XSLT style sheet (demo2.xslt) to display all the control DisplayName elements:<?xml version="1.0" ?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:d2p1="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:d3p1="http

Hi all,My working company is trying to move the exisitng production K2 server into another server in data centre. We clone the existing K2 Server, and re-run the installation wizard from the new server, and then pointing the DB server to the existing one(K2 and SQL are in 2 servers). But then under K2 service manager, I found 2 servers(old and new K2 Servers name) are listed after right click and selected Properties. I can fire new workflow instance to the new K2 Server, but the log file in the new K2 server showing that the new submit is also trying to connect to the old K2 Server as well. Why this happen and how to clear it?"694","2008-09-24 02:36:51","Error","General","4142","ClusterConnError","K2ClusterServer::CheckRunning","4142 Cluster Could Not Connect to OLD_K2_Server","fcfd13e9ebf64e56ac1dbf3a84c44e43",""

HiI've got a requirement where I need to set conditional validation against the Attachment control.I'm using the responsive forms designer, so Javascript is not an option. I need the attachment control to only be required if another field equals a certain value.I was hoping I could figure out a way of doing this using rules, but I'm not able to investigate as I found the following issue. When I try to name the attachment control in the designer, it doesn't save the name, therefore it cannot be access through the "Named Controls" tab.I'm not certain that rules will achieve want I require as it is, but it seems like a bug that you cannot name an attachment control.Can anyone:a) confirm the same issue for me of not being able to name the controlb) think of a way to achieve what I need in the responsive designerThe form is already live and this is a new requirement so switching to classic designer is not really an option now.
