Hi all,   for some reasson the deleting of attachments in a highly custiomized Nintex Form does not work anymore. If I click the delete button, a new blank browser tab with shows up, instead of deleting the attachment and I also could not add any further document. This behaviour appears with Chrome and Mozilla. It does work with the IE 11. If also tested Chrome with an out of the box list and Nintex Form and there it works fine as well. Any help is appreciated!

I've got a workflow in Nintex Workflow 2013 that is using the "Assign To Do Task" action.  I have the action assigned to two individual users.  I also have myself and others in the CC field on the Task Notification tab.The behavior I see is that I get two emails when the task is executed, one to each of the Assignees with me in the CC field.  Other users in the CC field also get two emails.  I have tried checking and unchecking the "Create individual tasks for all group members" field, but I get the same results for both options.Is there a way for me only get one email instead two when I'm in the CC field in the "Assign To Do Task" action?

Hi All, I have created a basic form than needs the approval based on the cost. If the cost is less than $1000 the direct manager needs to approve and its above $1000 direct manager and finance manager needs to approve. However the issue I have is if the cost is over $1000 when the manager approves the WF wont go to the manager for approval and it will finish and it shows as a complete. I am using Run if and Request approval fields to do this task.   Thanks in advance.

HI All,    I have a Nintex form which has AD user details first name and last name. Nintex form works fine when I Add NEW AD users into form.    But if I need to remove exiting users with new user in my form this doesn't work.     

I have a Nintex form containing 4 panels which I can either show or hide, depending on the drop down option selected. However, the part of the form containing the hidden panel still shows even though the panel itself is hidden, leaving blank spaces. Is there a way to customize this such that if it is the panel at the bottom of the form that is selected, it shows up at the top rather than have me scroll down to the bottom of the form?

Hi,We have a workflow in which we are setting the SLA escalation set in days and working hour configuration is set in UTC + 1. Now, we have a scenario where we want to send instant reminder mail, so were passing Zero "0" in days field of SLA escalation.  When we did not had working hour configuration, mail was going instantly. Since we have configured working hours in workflow, when value "0" is passed to day field in escalation, it gives an error "The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime. Parameter name: value". I understand the error but I am not sure what value should I pass in this field to send an instant mail.Kindly suggest the possible ways.Thanks in advance for your help

I'm trying to Publish a 2016 workflow on SharePoint On-Premises.    I get the following error when I try to publish the workflow:   soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. an error has occurred   Any ideas/suggestions?   Thanks

I'm working with creating a Document Generation Template and using the Document Generation action in a Nintex Workflow Cloud workflow.    I'd like to take the results of a collection (which may have any number of items) and populate them into a DocGen template. Unfortunatly, the document tagger doesn't seem to include the collection items, or any way to generate a table from them. I THINK the Office365 version of docgen does have this functionality, but I could be mistaken.    I don't want to have to grab each item in the collection to a seperate variable, because I don't know how many items will be in the collection. I also can't just build a string in the workflow because there is no way to format that string into a table that the document template will recognize (HTML seems to just come in blank, for example).    Any ideas on how to achieve this?       

I have a workflow which shows complete, and the logs show all items as they should be, however, no action is being taken on the record itself.   There are actions to update fields, etc which it shows in the log history, but not in the record. It is like the workflow did not fire, but it says it did. What could cause this?

For the last I have been working on a validation formula that was working and for some aparent reason it stopped working. IF () is 'Yes' then I need several fields required, otherwise the fields do not need to be required. I created a panel and added the fields that are / are not required in the panel. I have pulled Grandfathering from named controls, should it instead come from Item Properties? I have been using this: https://ootbtutorials.com/2016/02/16/validating-or-requiring-fields-on-nintex-forms/. but something isn't working now. It was, and now it is not.   Here is the validation rule I have been using: Grandfathering =='Yes'&&isNullOrEmpty({Self})

I created a Nintex form with a repeating table.  One of the fields I want to place into the repeating table is getting its data from an external source (our ERP system operating on an AS400).  When I try to drag the field into the repeating table, I get an error message: "The control cannot be added to the Repeating Section" and when I click "ok" the field jumps out of the repeating table.  The other fields in the repeating table are ok because when I drag them in the "connected to" disappears.  How can I get a field with an external data source to stay put in a repeating table?

Hello,    TIA for reading my post. I have a large list, 14,000+ items right now, that we use to track collection efforts. We use lookups to a Master Property list to populate things like State, Hotel Name, Inn Code etc. We had an error in the InfoPath form and a large number of items were populated with the ID of the list item rather than the Hotel Name as intended. I'd like to use a workflow to Query the list and filter for only items who have the ID number rather than the hotel name in that "Hotel Name" column so that I can then update the items to have the correct value. Is is possible differentiate and filter this way on query? Thanks for any and all help.

Hello,   I have a column for status. Status is a choice type column with three choices 'Not Started', 'In-Progress' and 'Completed'. Let's say in this list I have 5 items. Each item will have a status. Let's say these status values for 5 items are [Not Started, In-Progress, Not Started, Not Started, Completed].   In Nintex form, I have created three calculated value control fields: Number of Not Started Items, Number of In-Progress items and Number of Completed items.    How can I use lookup to calculate the number of Not Started, In-Progress and Completed items? In our case, there are 3 Not Started, 1 In-Progress and 1 Completed Status item. I would like to calculate these numbers using the same sort of functionality that may be calculated value field. Please let me know if there's more easier or better way to do it.

HI  Am new to the nintex work flow I need to call an REST api to insert list data to oracle db. Currently we have this API calling from a PHP application where we are sending data as jason format .  How can call this api and send data in json format from web request.   API URL: http://IPAddress:7776/jderest/v2/orchestrator/ORCH_CustPortal_CreateAB User ID: Password: Environment: JPY920 Role: *ALL Eg Json:  {                "User ID":"vb2862",                "Trans Type":"JDEAB",                "Dir Ind":"1",                "Tr Ac":"A" }

I have SharePoint 2013 list that has a Person or Group field called "Intake Form Contact".  I have a second field called "Associated Department". I have created a Nintex Form and will be building a workflow next.  When someone uses this form and selects name from Person or Group field, how can I get the manager of that selected person to auto populate? Wondering if this can be done within form or with a workflow. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,   I'm trying to create a workflow that will assign an item to someone based on who the last person was that a previous item was assigned to.   For example: There are three people: Person 1, Person 2 and Person 3. All of these people have been assigned items. I now have a NEW item and I need to know who to assign it to based on who got the last item. So, if person 2 was the last person to be assigned something, person 3 would be next.   The list is relatively large so I would first need to query those that have been assigned (obviously). I'm thinking my next step would be to get the ID of the last assigned item (highest item ID on the list - minus the new one of course), look at the person column and determine whos next from there.   My issue is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get that highest ID/last assigned item.   This would need to be a list workflow that runs everytime and new item is added and does not have a person assigned to it (some will be added wi

Hi all,   I have a problem with the lookup formula using a dropdown field as filter. I have two lists, a big main list and a supporting list.   This is the supporting list:   This is (a part of) the new form for my main list: As you alread might have guested, I want the fields "Krankenhaus Kürzel" and "Krankenhaus Standort" to be auto-populated based on "Krankenhaus". Therefor I want to utilize the formula control: lookup("Krankenhauser", "Title", Krankenhaus, "Kürzel")   But this is not working, because: I'll get back "1;#Klinik A" instead of "Klinik A" and therefor obviously no result. How can I overcome this?   Cheers mai-kel   PS: sorry for that poor question, I am pretty sure this has already been talked about a thousand times, but I am not able to find a fitting thread here?!?          

Whenever Workflow is going through Assign flexi task the workflow is running twice or thrice by its own, either error occured or completed. the WF re-run as per the entry time and exit time of assigne flexi task. This is happeing from past 2 weeks also we used to be notified whenever WF error occured. Please guide us!!! Thanks in advance,

  Scenario There is an approval process e.g. manager approves an amount up to £500.00If the manager submits an request, it would then send the approval to him-self to approve the request but this is not ideal and not prefered by the management.   Also, when it gets auto-approved, the task gets updated and the workflow task to show a record.   Solution (not fully working) To add a 'Set a Condition' function in the workflow to check the following:If the requester is equal to the Manager ... as seen below.   If the workflow runs without the two actions: Update Workflow Task and Complete workflow task, then all it does it updates the item list with the manager's name but there is no record in the workflow task to state it has been auto-approved etc.   Problems I am not using 'Parallel' actions because ... I think it's not required.Furthermore, when I try to update the 'Workflow Task' list via the 'Create Item' function, I do not get the field for 'Related Content' so that the reference num

I am having trouble using SharePoint's REST API to copy attachments from one list item to another list item in a different site collection. Can someone please help?   Using REST, I am able to generate the attachment, but it's contents are blank   I used a Web Request to get the contents of the attachment: https://<site>/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('<relativeURL>')/$value?binaryStringResponseBody=true     I then used another Web Request to add the attachment to desired list item: https://<site>/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('')/items({WorkflowVariable:itemID})/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='<filename>')     However, the attachment is blank :(   I know there have been previous topics that have touched on how to do this, but I am just not able to piece together the bits to get it working.   Some of the posts and blogs I have been looking at include:   Fetching an Adding an attachment using Call Web Service action https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-Shar

Hi,   As it was my first time making changes to a live workflow I decided to copy it and make changes, then export from my updated version and import that file into the production version.  Strange I know..   Anyway, so I ended up not making any changes to the Flexi Tasks apart from changing the assignees for testing purposes, then changed them back when ready for production (obviously not having tested properly!!!).  My workflow includes several flexi tasks with Nintex custom forms inside them.    My problem is that when the tasks run they show just show a blank form (not my custom Nintex form from inside the Flexi-Task config).  Across the site other Nintex forms show up fine, such as previous tasks that ran successfully earlier using an old version of the workflow and also forms for other lists.  I have reset the forms inside the tasks, deleted the forms inside the tasks and even created a new flexi task and created a new Nintex form in that one and still it only shows up blank at r
