It's probably me but I am following a example of breaking up a very large list into several views and placing multiple lookup lists on my form.  My original list has over 4000 records.  However when I apply the source view to the list lookup controls I am only getting the first thirty results for each view.  What am I missing?   Thanks

What do you mean "The workflow exceeded the maximum number of attempts to process a message."

Hello, I am fairly new to Nintex, and need to create a workflow to send email based on date from calculated column.   Currently there is a document library with 1500 documents. The documents have a  date column named "Valid Until" , and  I need to send an email 30 days before that date is reached. I created a Calculated column  named "Alert Date" with the formula =[Valid Until]-30 How do I query all the items in the Doc Library and send an email based on the calculated column  date  equals today? or current date? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks, PaulG

Hi all, I have a SharePoint Online Document Library with multiple Content Types. When I go to upload a document to the library, as expected, the document uploads as the default Content Type and I'm prompted to complete the metadata. The issue I am having is that I cannot locate a change Content Type control in Nintex Forms (for 365). On the left in the image at the bottom is an Add a document dialog - Nintex Form version, on the right a SharePoint version. In the SharePoint version I can select the Content Type, in the Nintex version I can't choose a Content Type. Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like there's no way for users to choose the Content Type when uploading a document to the Document Library if I've got multiple Content Types and a customised form for each Content Type.  Does anyone know a workaround, or can let me know if there's something I'm missing here? Thank you! 

Hi there, I'm getting some troubles to update a field on an item using OOTB actions. On list A, a user initiating the WF is selecting a "Type of Absence" from a dropdown menu. On list B we got a list with a User field and a numeric field for every "Type of Absence" from the dropdown on list A. There is any way to update the field on list B using OOTB actions?Every action I use, there is no option to set a dynamic value when you choose the field to update. Kind regards,

I'm new to Nintex Forms and it's capabilities. I know how to have my cancel button on a Nintex form call a JS function, but it's not behaving correctly. Currently, if the user clicks the cancel button a confirm() will popup and ask if they want to exit or not. If they hit cancel on their confirm exiting alert, I want it to return to the present form with their data still populated. Currently, hitting both 'ok' and 'cancel' on the confirm alert will result in exiting the form instance. How can I return them to the current window is they hit cancel on the popup?  Thank You

Hello, I'm using Nintex for SharePoint 2013 (Version 2.9.1.0). I have some Nintex forms that when I select the "Print to PDF" option, the "Converting to PDF" modal window comes up, but I'm never given a PDF to download and the modal overlay doesn't go away on it's own. I am experiencing this with IE 11, Firefox 49.0.1 and Chrome 53. I'm at a bit at a loss as there are no error messages on screen or messages in the browser console. I am having trouble finding any diagnostic information about why this is failing. I've even placed break points on mousedown and mouseclick events and gone through a great deal of the JavaScript that fires on these events and I don't see any errors or obvious malfunctions. Interestingly, (and I'm not sure if this is diagnostically significant), the Print to PDF button works when previewing the Nintex form, but not from the site proper. A previous thread mentions CSS includes within a custom CSS field as being a culprit, but my form does not have any CSS inclu

Hello all, I can't get any workflow actions to fire that require username and password, at first I was getting this message, "The username is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the username specified." then I re configured the settings to the snag below,Now nothing happens? nothing in the workflow history? I must be missing a step, do I need to query User profile or user info and get the user store it in a variable? thanks for any help, I am learning nintex on prem and online coming from SP designer.

Hi,I am using 'copy' action in a workflow. It runs for 100+ items. For some times, it copies over the metadata to destination but for others, it just leaves the line as blank.The metadata is set at site level and is enabled at destination as well (both places have same metadata columns)Why is this happening? Is it because workflow is running too fast and the copy event is not being completed?Thanks!

Hi, I am querying library with 1 item and storing in to a 'IDCollection'. Then using for-each to run through the IDCollection (1 item and getting it's document ID) On for-each loop, I am doing 'For each IDcollection', out put to 'IDVar'When I reach the for-each loop, my workflow is crashing with the following error. (The workflow is going in to the for-each then outputting a blank line as the IDVar) I am assuming the 1-item is the culprit. How can I overcome this? Any help is appreciated! I tried changing gathering Document ID in to IDs...did not help either RequestorId: 3f28b335-838a-7221-0000-000000000000.

Hi, I have to get the manager display name and email from the WF initiator.I'm trying to use the WorkFlow context properties "Manager display name" and "Manager email address" we're getting empty strings on those properties.Is there a need to crawl de People properties to get those values? Additionally I tried to get those values by using the O365 Query User Profiles, but the email address that i need to properly get the manager it is not the same than the email address on the "initiator email address" from the WorkFlow Context properties. Is there any way to achieve that without using RestAPI? Thanks,

I have created a responsive form and when I open it on my PC it works fine. If I shrink my PC's browser, the form reacts to display the fields in one column as expected. When I open the same form on my Android phone (Chrome or the Samsung "Internet" browser), the full-size form is displayed instead of the single column. Does it only act responsively in the Nintex Mobile app and not in a mobile browser?

Hello everyone! I am working on a form and I have a Multi Line textbox (rich text) in which I have tables as input, but whenever I paste the table, the textbox does not inherit the format of the original table I pasted (borderlines are gone, etc.). Is this an original issue on Nintex forms or is there something I should configure to make it work? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,I am using Nintex Forms for Office 365, and trying to debug Task form in IE Developer tools. When query for a control using its class, like, NWF$(".lblMylabel"), it shows error message as NWF$ is undefined. Even tried with $ also, it says null.

Hi everyone, how are you?I'm having a very technical difficulty with Nintex and SharePoint 365. We have a SharePoint List, with many "number" fields on it. The problem is that we need to limit the range for those fields in the form. This may seem simple enough, using SharePoint like in the image bellow:The problem is that we use these forms in Brazil, which means that the comma (",") is used as a decimal separator. The date is also set as DD-MM-YYYY. So our SharePoint format is correctly defined for "Portuguese (Brazil)" in regional settings, and for that, we need to use commas when defining ranges, like in the image above. The problem is that these settings apparently conflict with Nintex. This ranges do not work on Nintex Forms, as we think that Nintex uses points (".") as decimal separators.Is there anyway to overcome this problem? Like, is there a way to change decimal number format on Nintex? We thought about creating individual validation rules for each of the form fields, but th

I have a task form custom field that I have connected to a list field. It is a user field, which happens to be the next user in the process. But when they fill it out it does not get saved into the sharepoint list. So when I do my lookup for the next user in the process it can't find it and stops. I am new to Nintex. Am I going about this the wrong way?
