Hi at all,

For my current workflow project, I need a form where the user selects some values from a drop down list.

With this value, I need to do a lookup to a sharepoint list querying a yes/no field. Depending on the result, I need to hide some fields.
To do so, I created a formatting/design rule and use this formula

equal(lookup("MyListName", "Title", NextState, "close_workflow"), True)

So there is a list named MyListName (Display Name, internal name is different) with an column Title. I need the element from this list where Title = NextState (Workflow variable) and I need the Field "close_workflow" of this element. If this hav value Yes, some formatting should appear.

But this lookup doesn't work. I used development toolbar to get note what happen. It always say:

12:55:25.294 [MyListName-cbbd10a1-a927-4ac7-8196-c4d292e4b4dc] - A request for SharePoint data failed. Error details: Die Liste 'MyListName' ist in der Website mit der URL 'https://herecomesmyurl' nicht vorhanden. 1 RuntimeFunctions.js:507:9

Which means The list with name "MyListName" does not exist. But it does exist.It's the same error if i use the internal name or the display name.

Can someone enlight me?

is the list with the same site?

do you have sufficient permissions for the list?


Hello,

yes the list is on the same web and I do have privileges for it. If I use the list as part of the workflow model, it works. But If I try to use it in Nintex Forms as validation or formatting rule, it doesn’t.


ok.

as a first step I'd suggest to double check proper spelling. maybe there is a typo that you don't spot right away.

Carefully check  as well for any space characters, maybe it's doubled somewhere within the name or there might one extra orphaned space at the end (typical case when you copy&paste)
