We have a size limit of 20 MB per mail internally in our company. If I send an email with Nintex and it is larger than 20 MB, no error message arrives - unfortunately not at the recipient either. Can you send the workflow initiator a filtering message that the mail is too large? Best regards Sebastian

When I do the following: Create a SharePoint listCreate workflow for that listExport the workflowSave the SharePoint list as templateCreate a new list based on that list templateImport the workflow I find that it copies the old workflow as well. You do NOT see the workflow when you look in SharePoint. You DO see it in SharePoint Designer. If that workflow has email notifications, those notifications will fire multiple times. It fires one for your new workflow and one for your old workflow. To prevent this, go into SharePoint Designer and delete the old workflow before adding the new workflow.

I am trying to make clothing order form. Shirts with different styles are available in different colors. What I want to do is when shirt style "X" is chosen i want my color options field to then display the colors that are available for that style.  Below is my form and the code that I am trying to use to do this, I may be completely off with the code attempt, i was using another source as a reference to come up with this. Once I figure this out for once style I need to do this for 4 other styles and I'm not sure how to do that.  NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { NWF$('#'+varShirtStyle).change(function(){ if (NWF$('#'+varShirtStyle + ' input:choice').val() == 'Instructor'){ NWF$('#'+varShirtColor).val('Red'); } }) })    

Hi Folks,   I am trying to use a regular expression to get everything after the """ in an account name for the author of an item. Examples of an account name for my site are "i:0#.w|mydomain-corpdoej" for a corporate user and "i:0#.w|mydomain-corpdoej" for an external user. I can successfully do this with several extra actions and the fn-Remove() inline function but since the removed lengths for an internal and an external user are different, I thought regex might be a bit more elegant and not require me to use a Set a condition action. I tried the following pattern but it includes the backslash and I am a noob at regex.   \(.*)   Can anyone correct my pattern?   Thanks and Regards, Patrick

Hi,   We’re trying to set up the Lazy Approval for our client and we have found the guide for setting up from here: LazyApproval Guide: Nintex Workflow 2013 & Nintex Workflow 2010 Our farm is using the Microsoft SharePoint 2016 Minrole Installation, with 3 SharePoint servers as below: One Web Application (Server role: Application with Search => incoming email feature (Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail) is available) Two Web Front-End (Server role: Front-end with Distributed Cache for both servers => incoming email feature (Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail) is NOT available) Because the incoming email feature (Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail) is only available on the Web App, so can you advise if we can set up the Lazy Approval in Web Application server only (meaning install SMTP feature on Web App only) and don’t need to enable the incoming email feature as well as setting up the SMTP in Web Front End Server?

Hi there,  I created a variable that does a lookup with an exisiting control.  However, when I go to preview to have my variable displayed, it unselects other fields I already selected.   Have anyone experienced this issue?

Hi Everyone,   I am using the example shown here here to try and achieve form validation, but only after a certain value is not selected in a drop down. In essence I have been asked to not enforce required fields until the user is ready to submit the form for approval, which would allow them to revisit the item over time to complete it, before signifying that they are ready to submit the item for approval, and hence get validation on any missing values.   On one of the fields which requires this logic, I have placed the following formula in the Validation Rule:   isNullOrEmpty({Self}) && {ProcessStateSelector}!="Draft"   The problem is that the rule is being ignored, and even when a value other that Draft is selected in the ProcessStateSelector dropdown, the form is submitted without the validaiton alert.   What have I done wrong?   Thanks.

I have a calculated date field in my SharePoint list. I want to display that calculated date on a Nintex Form. To do so, I create a Rich Text control, and click "Insert Reference". Then, under Item Properties, I select the calculated date field that I want to show.   Here is the issue: If my calculated date shows as 2/5/2020 on the SharePoint list, it shows as 2/4/2020 on the Nintex form. In all my calculated dates that I do this, all of the days show as one day earlier.   I really want to use this "Insert Reference" approach to display due dates rather than creating a calculation on the form, since I need the users to be able to see the calculation both in the Nintex Form and on the SharePoint list.   Thanks for any thoughts!

Dear all,I have an issue in my SharePoint farm.I've found duplicated site columns on a specific site (I guess this is coming from a previous wrong backup-restore of the site). I've cheked also the site collection level and other sub-sites and it's working fine. It only affecting to this specific site (named "Generic Workfow v2").The duplicated columns are inside the "Nintex Workflow" group (Associated Content Type)This is generating an error when I try to associate a site column on a specific Content Type. I've found this on the ULS logs.System.ArgumentException:No two choices should have the same IDI've tried to delete these sites columns, but SharePoint doesn't allow me to do it. Site columns which are included in content types cannot be deleted. Remove all references to this site column prior to deleting it I've found references of these columns in the hidden list "NintexWorkfows". Columns are used as metadata in this list.¿What can I do to change these wrong references to the new o

Hi everybody,   I do have a responsive nintex form which i want to extend with a AutoComplete Dropdown functionality.   I only found javascript solutions for classic nintex forms. Is there any solution for responsive forms to implement a AutoComplete Dropdown?       Please advise, thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Daniel

I'm working on a repeating section with 4-5 columns in it. In display mode the forms adds a big white space between the rows. I don't want to use height parameter to the item as i don't want to restrict the height of it incase the data spans multiple rows. I'm just trying to get rid of the white space between marked as yellow in below diagram.Here is an example.

I have created a new content type, with 1 person field to use as a new BASE Content Type.   I have then create 2 additional Content Types (CT1 and CT2). (more to be created once I can fix this).   - CT1 has one additional text field - CT2 just inherits from the BASE Content Type   I then have a workflow that will simply ask for approval, and this workflow is working perfectly for both CT1 and CT2 items.   I then add an Update Item or Set Field Value action to set the TITLE field (inherited from the Item content type). I am creating a string from the YEAR plus the Item ID (e.g. 202010 for item 10).   This works perfectly on CT1, but I get error messages on CT2 (Failed on Start (retrying)).   The error behind this is "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."   I'm not sure how this can be happening, as both CT1 and CT2 follow the same path for the workflow.   The Title field is available for both C

NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady() is called prior to the Form Control List Lookup Selects being populated on the DOM - Is this the expected behavior for RegisterAfterReady()?  If so, what DOM event will wait for the Selects to be fully populated? Thanks, Neville

An excel report is sent into to an SP mailbox in .xls format. A workflow is started and included in the WF is the action "query excel services" the workflow errors as it can not perform the action in the .xls format. Therefore the document has to be manually saved in the required format .xlsx before being sent to the SP mailbox. There are multiple documents so this is quite a task just to resave them all.   Just wondering if there a way of using nintex to update/rename the format from .xls to .xlsx?

I have a form where the ribbon is greyed out, but all the items are still editable.  The only other posting I've seen reference this didn't have a solution that applied to me.  This is on SharePoint 2013 and using Nintex Forms 2013 ( 2.11.5.20 ) Is there a fix for this?  

I have a run parallel where one branch has the approval flexi task, in the other branch I have a pause and I am trying to pull the approval task URL and copy into Approval Link field in the orginal list item

Is it possible to copy a row in a list and create a new row within the same list.  I want to track routine tasks done monthly.   My thought was to add a button labeled duplicate to the form.  We clicked it would copy the current form/row and create a new one.  There would be a column that would be the current month.  So in January it would be 01.  After the rouine is complete you could hit the duplicate button and it would create a new row 02 and I could use a workflow to reset/clear some fields.  ie date completed, how long to complete, when sent out etc... but the majority of the fields would still be popluated.  Eliminating the need to create a new one manually each month.   task             description                 completed            month sample        to be done monthly                                01 sample        to be done monthly                                02              (created by clicking the duplicate button)

I need to set a text value based on another field for approximately 2000 documents in a library which all have folders on folders on folders. I don't know what is better - make a Site Workflow to update multiple items? Make a Library Workflow and try to trigger it on a schedule? Unfortunately I can't use quick edit to copy paste because of all the folders. Basically, I need to take ColumnA -> txtColumnA for all 2000 documents. This SHOULD be easy, but I'm stuck! Any help would be appreciated.

This topic went unanswered in 2016. I am looking for a solution other than unprotect the sheets. I am posting this question in MS Office forum as well since I don't know where the issue lies. I have a Nintex 2013 workflow that is using Query Excel Services action to read certain cells in an Excel file and store the value in a variable. Everything worked great during test until the owner of the Excel template protected the sheets so users' couldn't overwrite any formulas. After that, I kept receiving "Error querying Excel Services. We're sorry, we couldn't open your workbook" error on my Nintex workflow. Is there a way to use Excel Query Services against protected cells with formulas? Maybe grant access in the Excel template to the farm credentials used in the query? My query control is setup as follows:

hi all, I am quite new to nintex for SP and would need your expertise. I have a list of global users who request approval to a specific platform. Once approved the user status column changes to active. Users who are not active anymore will be set to inactive. The updated list is sent each quarter to country managers for approval if the users are still in the organization. If not they are set to inactive. Now I would like to create a WF which automatically sends a list of users per country to the dedicated manager. Is there a way to match all users from a country to the relevant manager. There is a column for country, so each user can be matched to a country. And there is a column for the country manager. My question is: How can I set up a WF which collects all users of a country and sends this list to the country manager. Considering, there are are around 10 countries. So each country manager needs to get his or her list of users. Is this even possible with one WF? Further, which actio
