Hi all, Has anyone else come across a bug in NWC rules in the last week or so, whereby you can't configure the "else" part because the options dropdown is empty? I came across this yesterday, and checked several of our customers' tenants today, and the issue is there across all the tenants I checked. I know I could make a copy of each rule and set it inversely, but with a few hundred rules, I'd rather not have to do that.

So I'm new to Nintex.  I've used mostly Infopath but am now being forced to change.  It looks like Nintex may have some capabilities that IP did not.  Here's what I'd like, and I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is possible.   I'm building a simple list with dates, numerical values (representing hours), and an option for AM/PM My view is only going to show the current day, based on the date entry in the list.  Ideally I'd like to have a total value of hours available for each day, and requests pull those hours out of the bucket.   Since it's possible to place a calculated field in the form, is it possible to have it dynamically calculate the total hours value for the day?   Lets say my bucket for 01/15 is 16 hours AM and 24 hours PM, and my list looks like this:   Employee     Date       Hours     AM/PM Dale              01/15      8             AM Harry             01/15      8             AM Hank              01/15     8             PM   ....would it be possible when you go to en

1. I have created an approval workflow using State Machine. 2. State Machine has two states (State 1 and State 2). I need approvals from two teams (Team 1 and Team 2). I just need one approval from any member in Team 1 and Team 2. 3. Default State is State 1 (Team 1 approval). When one member of Team 1 approves it should change the state to State 2 (Team 2 approval). 4. Lazy approvals are turned on. 5. A member in Team 1 wrote 'Approve' in the email body and replied to the approval request email he had received from Nintex. But the status of the workflow is not being updated. It's not changing the state to state 2. Task ID was still there in the email. I was in CC field of the initial email which Nintex sent to Team 1.    Does he need to Reply All and include me while replying Approve? is there any other reason why the workflow is stuck and not changing state? I don't think there is any issue in the workflow. When I had a single person in TO field of approval action workflow was workin

Hello,   I need to automatically create IDs for a repeating section. The repeating section is to create action steps for a project. I want the action ID to be "Project ID-Action ID". The action ID should simply start at 1 and incrementally go up as a new repeating section is added.   I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Hello!   I'm looking to replace a random string back to blank for use in a repeating section.For example I need this.. <SubTaskComments type="System.String">Some Comments</SubTaskComments><SubTaskComments type="System.String">Some more Comments</SubTaskComments><SubTaskComments type="System.String">Even more Comments</SubTaskComments>   To Be..  <SubTaskComments type="System.String"></SubTaskComments><SubTaskComments type="System.String"></SubTaskComments><SubTaskComments type="System.String"></SubTaskComments>   I'm doing this to reset a repeating section field back to a starting point without removing all of the data from the repeating section. I.E just the one column containing the comments.   Thanks for any help.   T.

Hi All,   I am using the Dynamics CRM action in nintex and wanted to know if its possible to filter on a lookup field(datatype is Guid).   I am doing a query in CRM but would like to bring back all leads where source campaign is blank. In the filter option I cant seem to find a condotion that would work. Any help is appriciated.   I just check in CRM Database and the value for Soure Campaign is NULL. I tried Is NULL and NULL and got an error stating:  Condition for attribute 'lead.campaignid': expected argument(s) of type 'System.Guid' but received 'System.DBNull'.    

I have encountered this before, but cannot remember how I resolved it. I must delete and reimport the workflow, I will.My start settings are set so that the workflow will run when an item is created. When I create an item, the workflow starts, but it just stalls and says "Starting" and never progresses. I left it overnight and checked the next morning and nothing. When I cancel and start the workflow manually, it starts.Any ideas what is going on here? Like I said, I encountered this before, but it's been a long time and I can't remember why it happened, where it happened, or how it was resolved.

Just as the subject describes, I am attempting to show a text box if and only if a user clicks the "Other" option. I have attached the rule I believe should work but it is not doing the job for me, the text box just remains hidden. 

I have a list where inheritance is broken and each item has unique permission. Once my process is complete, I need to move it to another list (using create item) but need to assign same permission as in original list.

I'm trying to use REST API and Web Request to GET RoleAssignments but for some reason it's not working for me. I haven't used REST API much so any help configuring the settings will be appreciated.   Please see attach screenshot for configuration   My goal is to set same permissions on item permission on list # 2 while creating/copying item from list # 1 to list # 2.    This setup is in SP & Nintex 2010    @eharris04 ....Maybe you can help quickly !!!!   Thanks  

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a setting I am missing. I have copied a simple workflow from one site into another (using a snippet) and used it on a copy of the list. On the original list it works fine. But on the new list it runs 10 times at once. It is set to run conditionally when a list item is modified to say Complete. Once the task is marked as complete, the workflow creates a new item in the list. Any tips on what to look for would be appreciated.

Hello Everyone,   I'm new using Nintex and I have a question about "People" control. I noticed that in Nintex Responsive form, this control only search by user's login ID instead of searching by Name. How can I configure this control to display an user by typing his name? I hope I can receive any suggestion or clarification regarding this.    Thanks  

We are trying to figure out if we can display a specific number of options in a field per a specific user group. Example: SP1 Group can see options a,b and C while SP2 group can see a, b, c, d, and e. Has anyone run across a solution for this requirement?

Hello Fellow Nintexperts,While working with a client today, I've come across an interesting issue. Despite developing a work-around already, I'd love to get some insight from the community to better understand my finding or to surface this bug. In order to confirm this issue wasn't unique to my client's environment, I recreated the issue in my development environment as well (see below).I have two SharePoint Lists:TEST ATEST BBoth of these Lists have a date column called Some Date configured with the default settings (Date Only). I am then using a Site Workflow to fetch the Some Date value from a single item in the TEST A list, setting this value to a workflow variable (configured as a date), and am then creating a new item in the TEST B list based on this value.What I'm finding is that when taking this route, the date stored in the second list loses a day (see screenshots below).Query List > Set Variable > Create Item using variableAny ideas on what would cause this behavior? I

Hi Folks,   I have a workflow with a Call web service action and I am having trouble getting the XML to work. I need to use a Call web service so I can embed my generic service account (GSA) credentials in the action via workflow constants. My configuration looks like this...   My XML is as such... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"> <soap12:Body> <GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"> <listName>{CDF13E34-D116-4123-A9F9-858CD4E518A7}</listName> <viewName>{9B4011F3-C18C-45D2-BCCF-542DC5060C00}</viewName> <query> <Where> <Eq> <FieldRef Name='UserID' /> <Value Type='Text'>{WorkflowVariable:var_CreatedByUserID_TXT}</Value>  

Hi Folks,   I have what I hope is a simple issue. I am trying to learn the Call Web Service action so that I can use it to act with high level credentials on behalf of the workflow initiator. I have a CWS action that uses the GetListItems method and returnes what seems like good XML from the target list. When I query the XML, however, I get the following error... The execution returned an unexpected error. '/defaultNS:listitems/defaultNS:rs:data/defaultNS:z:row/@ows_ID ' has an invalid token. The souce/returned XML (redacted) that I am querying is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <listitems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset" xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema"> <rs:data ItemCount="1"> <z:row ows_ID="34" ows_Field1="34.0000000000000" ows_EmpID="***

I've already found a solution to this, so I'm just posting for the benefit of others. I was going through all the variables of a workflow to see if any were unused. I clicked delete for each variable and just left the ones that the workflow told me were in use. When I went to publish the workflow, I got the following error: "soap: ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object." After a painful process of deleting each variable in turn, then publishing, I found three that would generate this error when deleted. All were collection variables. I looked in the workflow's XML and found that these three were actually in use, even though I was allowed to delete them. I eventually tracked them down to a Query List action, where they were used to store outputs from the query.  Clearly there is a bit of a bug that allows you to delete variables actually used for storing Query List outputs. Look out for this if you get the "Object referen

I have a clothing order form that I want to use form validation rules on. Some shirt styles are only available in certain colors. "ShirtStyle" is my control name, my goal is that if you choose a shirt style you are only able to select certain colors. If you choose a color not in the validation rule for that style you will get an error that tells you this shirt is not avalaibel in this color. Below is my rule but it does not seem to work but I am not sure what I have wrong. I have 6 shirt styles but I only started with 2 styles to get started.  if ShirtStyle =="Instructor" then not(equals("Red", "Hi-Viz Yellow")) || if ShirtStyle =="Basic" then not(equals("Black", "Red", "Green", "Gray", "Charcoal"))

I edited my form and the preview looks good. I published, now the form is missing entire sections at the top. And some sections are not showing in the same order as in the Preview. Any ideas to as why this would occur?   I appreciate the help!

Hello,   I'm having trouble viewing data that is entered in a repeating section in my Nintex form. I've been able to successfully save the data in a SP list and parse the data. When I click on the item to possibly edit the fields in the repeating section, I can't view the data that was entered - I just see the blank fields.   Thanks in advance!

The list is being used to store Certification data for each employee. I created an Email Notification workflow that pauses until (Calc date) prior to the "Expiration Date" column.   Could not use repeating sections as the data is not stored into designated columns programmed for the workflow. I manually created 6 columns for each Cert ( Cert 1 Cert 2 Cert 3, etc.) with their own Expiration Date (Exp Date1, Exp Date 2). Customer wants a reminder notification for EACH CERT to be sent at different time intervals (6 months, 5 months, 4 months, 3 months, 2 months and 1 month) prior to the "Expiration Date" column.   Current Set up: Parallel Actions for all 6 Certs. Copied the workflow for each Cert. Each action is tied to its respective Expiration Date (Exp Date1, Exp Date2) as well as timed interval for the reminder.   The Calc Date requires a stored variable (6monthreminder, 5monthreminder) Etc.   Question: This already was very heavy workflow for each time interval – for each Cert this w

I am trying to use the fn-Or function, but I need to evaluate more than 2 conditions. Is that possible? Do I need to figure out how to nest them somehow?    For example, in the field Control Settings, I want enable a field using an expression for only 1 group and 2 additional people who are not in that group. If it were only two conditions, I would use: fn-Or(fn-IsMemberOfGroup(Admin), fn-IsCurrentUser(TEST_ACCOUNT)).    But how do I add the additional fn-IsCurrentUser(TEST_ACCOUNT_2) condition to the statement above?   Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I am trying to do a lookup on another list using the Nintex form and cannot figure this one out.    I have a list called concession, which my workflow is running against. When the user is filling out the form, they need to select an Account Name. I have another list on the site named "Accounts". I would like a control to be able to either search the Accounts list or have a drop down with the account names to make a selection. The account name also has a corresponding account number that I need to populate on the form as well.    What control would I use to look up the account information. I first tried to use the "List Lookup" control but could not figure out how to populate the account number once the Account was selected within the control.    Your help is greatly appreciated!
