I am trying to create an automated installation procedure for a complete SharePoint 2016 on prem Site Collection, including Nintex functions.   It is a small C# Console application which uses PnP and CSOM coding to do a full solution provisioning, in different staging environments.   I managed to publish Nintex Workflows, apply Nintex Forms, and even create Workflow constants inside the executable.   Now I am searching for a way to modify the Notification Header for the Mail Message Template (_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/MessageTemplates.aspx). I found the Header Information in the dbo.MessageTemplates Table inside the NintexWorkflowDB (with web and side id for reference), but neither the Workflow.asmx service nor the nwadmin tool seem to have any API function to change those.   Is there any way to script that for an automated deployment?

I am sending a flexi task to multiple users selected in (People picker filed). I am facing two issues:   1- When the first user fill the form, the other users will see the flexi task form with the values and comments filled byt he first user.   2- I am storing the task Ids of this flexi task in a collection variable, then I am using for each loop to create items based on the information filled by the users. The issue is that the items are created with duplicate information (last filled information). Please let me know if any clarification is required.

I am attempting to build a very simple Site Workflow that will email the point of contact for each item in an external list that's in SharePoint (on-premise SP2016). We are running Nintex for SharePoint Standard.    We have a SQL database external to SharePoint that is used to store HVAC temp/humidity readings. It has a few tables and a few views. I created a BDC in SharePoint so I can add an External List in SharePoint. It worked great. The list showed up in SharePoint. It is named “Out of Tolerance” (OOT). One of the views in the database filters on temp/humidity that is out of tolerance. This is the list that I had added to SharePoint. So it’s a small list of only 37 items. The table that was used to create the view DOES NOT have a key identifier (ID) column.   I was able to select the external list in the “Query List” action and my workflow seems complete and I set it on a schedule but it never runs. It doesn’t error or stall, it just never runs and I don’t see anything at all in t

Hi,   We have Nintex form in SharePoint 2016 which contains MultiLine,Choice and Yes/No fields . If user opens already existing item where data is already filled and on page load for form if script is added for form as disabled as below, NWF$("#"+multiPlain).attr("disabled","disabled");   Then when you save next time.It saves empty value in the list.   Attached screenshot which explains above scenario.   Does disabled doesnt work in Nintex form for SharePoint 2016? Please let me know if we have any alternate option to fix such cases.   Regards, Lokeshwar Singh R

Hi,   I have a form with several panels that are shown and hidden by rules. Before the last update, the panels collapsed when they were hidden, but with the last update the space remains.   Before: After click ↓   Now: After click ↓   Any explanation or workaround? :smileyhappy:   Thanks.

I am building a workflow on a SharePoint document library. The workflow runs to get approval from users and then is copied to an approved library. I have it all set up and working but I am running into 1 issue. How do I attach the current item to the task the users are assigned? I can link to the task and I can get a link to the details on the document, but I cannot get it to open the actual document being reviewed. These seems like it should be logical as they don't need to review the metadata, they need to review the contents of the actual document. Without doing that, they cannot do their job. What am I missing?

 Hello, new to sharepoints and Nintex.  I am trying to create an archive for a list and then set up a workflow to move items from list to archive.   i have created an additional column on the list, which has 2 options active or archive.  Then I created this list as a template to create my archive.   moving on to Nintex workflow, I get stuck, mainly because all the examples I find seem so complicated for an easy task.   is someone able to confirm effectively all I need to do is add a copy item task, with the criteria of if column equal archive, copy to archive, and then a delete task to delete that item?   Based on all the examples I find, it just appears to simple that I must be missing something.   Any help or links to a simple example of this task would be appreciated.      

Hello,   I have been working with Nintex Workflows for a couple of months now and something that has bothered me for quite some time is that clicking the title of a task in the "Workflow Tasks" list redirects the user to different windows depending on the workflow action used to assign the task. Please see example below: I have assigned myself one "flexi task" and one "request data"-task:                 If I click the title of the "Test Flexi Task" I get redirected to the "edit item"-view of this task:   However, when I click the title of the "Test Request Data" task I get redirected to the "view item"-view of the task:                         Is there a way to always forward the user to the "edit item"-view of the task when clicking the task's title, irregardless of what type of task it is?   Thanks in advance!

I am having an issue with using the Multi Select display format on a Lookup field.  Here is the scenario:   Lookup field "Business Area" references a list titled "Business Profiles" that includes a list of Business Areas and the associated Segment. In the Nintex form, I have a Choice field "Segment" that includes the same Segments as the Business Profiles list. In the Nintex form, the control for "Business Area" is set to filter based on Segment.  And the Display format is set to "Multi Select". In the form, if I select a Segment, it appropriately limits the Business Area options to that segment.  But when I select all of the Business Area options and move them over, it will only save the first option selected, not all of them.  But if I go back into the form, it will let me move a few over at a time.  Sometimes if I select multiple, it will save them, but sometimes it won't.  And it will never save all of the options for that segment.  There are a lot of options, so I would prefer not

I am using Copy to SharePoint to copy the attachments added by the Initiator to a library and it is working fine. I used it again to copy the attachments added by a user of flexi task but it is not working.. any idea what could be the issue?

Hi Everyone,   I have a question relating to a calculated field in a Nintex for SP2013 environment.   I have several drop down fields with numeric values which are summed together in a calculated field called 3TotalValue.   I then have another calculated field called 3TotalRatingText which I am trying to auto populate with a text value, which is determined based on the value in the first calulated field 3TotalValue.   I am currently using the forumula shown below:=IF(3TotalValue>=45, "Large", IF(3TotalValue>=26, "Medium", IF(3TotalValue<=25,"Small")))   But when loading the form or previewing it, the whole form is blank, so obviously something is seriously wrong.   I also have a second set of logic I need to apply, being that if any of the individual drop down values used to origionally determine 3TotalValue are > 4, the value of 3TotalRatingText should be changed from Small to Medium. Of course if 3TotalValue is already >=26, it is Medium, and if >=45, it is Large.  

Hello Nintex Forums,   I've built a workflow to deal with spend approvals in my company, but currently the only way to check the status of a given request is to look at the "Instances" page, which notes what step the instance is currently on but not who the different approvers are.   Is there a way to have Nintex output a list of who has approved the current item and who is next in line?   Thanks, let me know. 

Hi Everyone, I just got an issue after restore the DB for WSS and Nintex. There are 2 errors in SharePoint Central Admin --> Solution Management, and both of them are related to xxx.dll was being used by another process. Have followed https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Error-when-trying-to-deploy-nintexworkflow2016core-wsp-in/m-p/68364#M56511 but no luck. Please advise. Thanks.

I have created a bunch of separate SharePoint lists that use Nintex 2013 forms which my organisation uses for HR functions - recruitment, health and safety, updating personal details etc. Each has at least one Nintex workflow that is triggered when certain criteria have been met. The workflows are nothing particularly special, they just control item level permissions, get user credentials from the UPS, and go through a multi-approvals process before flicking a few emails to relevant parties, however they can be quite large ( although I try to keep below the recommended 500kb mark and have separated things in to multiple, smaller workflows where possible).When a user submits a form and the the workflow initiates, these forms hang for about 10 seconds and the user is left with a blank screen before they are redirected back to the default list view. The browser tab does show the spinning wheel, but it is not particularly obvious, and people have a tendency to be impatient. Has anyone had

I have a very basic workflow that I started with for testing.  It is to start when an Item is Created and then Send an email. It does not run and when I try to run it manually I get the message: Something went wrong.  To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow. I'm just trying to see what the email will look like and thought it was a pretty basic workflow. Any ideas? Thanks Kim

Hi ,   I am Lokeshwar i was working on migration of SharePoint from 2010 to 2016.   We have some Nintex forms which is migrated from SP2010 to SP2016.   Observation in 2016 : If there is required field validation for dropdown then without filling anything when you click on save  then it shows hover highlight in red color on parent div of dropdown control instead of select. Whereas in SharePoint 2010 we have hover highlight in red color for dropdown control for required field validation. Added attachments for reference .   Please help me out to understand if this is default behavior in SP2016 or do we have any fix to make it hover for select instead of parent div of dropdown control in SP2016.

Hi there, I have multiple selection checkbox control, the options of which need to be dynamic. For this, we have created the default options and in the Custom Javascript we are setting these options with the dynamic values. Everything works fine.  But I have two problems with it.when I save the item and open it, though I have checked some options, it doesn't show. More over it shows default values for the options and all options are unchecked. I am trying to capture the value of the options checked, by calling Javascript function in Custom Validation of the multiple selection checkbox control, but the function is not been called. Could any one please help me with the above two problems. If you need any more information please let me know.

Hi I've created a list for employee onboarding.The personnel department creates a new element(employee) in this list.This triggers a workflow.In this workflow is a Request data action.It creates a task with a nintex task form to request data from the supervisor.The form has a repeating section which contains a single list lookup field.The list lookup field is not part of the onboarding list.It is a custom field that looks up data from another list, which contains it-hardware.The supervisor makes a selection of it-hardware the new employee will get.Following the request data action, there is a create item in another site action.This action should create an item in a list for it-hardware demand, and paste the content ofthe repeating section from the nintex task form.My issue is to get the data from the repeating section, to use it in the workflow.I created a content type field (multiple lines of text)in the request data action,connected it to a workflow variable and tried to fill it in t

I have a list that I am using a customized Nintex Form.  When I view the display form on most of the list items, they open fine.  I have one list item where I get an error that says:Sorry, something went wrongAn unexpected error has occurred.Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator. I created a default SharePoint Form to view the raw data and it looks just like all of the other list items.  This happened to me in task lists before after publishing a change to a workflow.  All old tasks would throw this error when trying to open.  This is the first time I have seen it happen in a regular Nintex list form. Looking at the Correlation ID messages on the server logs, the error message says:The encoding in the declaration 'utf-8' does not match the encoding of the document 'utf-16LE'. I have compared data from list items that open in the custom fo

Hi everyone,   Something really strange is happening on my production farm.I have a workflow on a list with an action set to run with elevated privileges, in this action set I have a state machine.Every action inside this action set is run twice. We can see this in the logs. Each action is not run twice in a row, but instead, the workflow run correctly and create tasks for a flexi task, only then the whole process repeats. I have then twice the tasks.   Please also note that answering task does not do anything. All the tasks created are set as "No response longer required" as if I had choosen an outcome for one of the tasks. Even with approving task, no task changes status and stays in Pending. I suspect that this "run elevated" action set is the culprit but I am developping with a site collection admin user, and had no problem for months with this specific workflow, only now when developping new features.   Any help or advice is welcome !Thanks

Currently,  Form has a people control that is linked to the 'Title' column in my list Default set on the people control is Item: Display Name Title contents still display as -1;#i:0f|membership|username@xyz.com   Tried JSON {"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json","elmType": "div","txtContent": "@currentField.title"} This makes my Title value disappear from the list altogether (when Default mentioned above is not set), or displays "@currentField.title"  in Title field.    All I want is a nice looking list with two columns of people, the person and then their direct report, both showing with display name.

Current user is the same as in an assignee field on the same form   The only way to accomplish the first validation is in the control settings, but I cannot get multiple conditions to work. Anyone know how to do this?

Hello,   I want to work with two different attachement controls in a Nintex Form. If I upload a e.g. a picture /Attachments/28/IMG_0375_3.jpg to a recordset with ID=28 then the picture is located here: /Attachments/28/IMG_0375_3.jpg. All other attachments are stored in/Attachments/28/as well - this is okay for me. But now I want to have a different attachement control element in the form which should use a different path for storing the uploaded files. How can I do that?   Thanks a lot     panc
