Hi all! For some time I am struggling with using the "PeoplePickerAPI" in Nintex Forms for Office 365. According to the documentation, it should be present under the "NF" object here: NF.PeoplePickerApi (People Picker Extensions - Nintex Forms). But as I expand the NF object in a browser, I see no PeoplePickerApi constructor:So, after discussion with Rebecca Gordon, I decided to give a try to the code she provided, that should add the missing constructor:NF.PeoplePickerApi = (function ($) {    var getData = function (ins) {        ins.d = ins.d || ins.$elem.data("uiItempicker");        return ins.d;    };    var ctor = function (elem) {        this.$elem = $(elem);    };    ctor.prototype = {        added: function (func) {            var a = getData(this).options.itemAdded;            getData(this).options.itemAdded = function () {                a();                func();            };        },        removed: function (func) {            var r = getData(this).options.itemRemoved; 

Hello all, I have a SharePoint List that stores project data, my goal is to have the workflow loop through the list, get the Max project number by department, add 1 and store this value as next available number or possibly create it as a new item in a list of next available numbers. Each department project number series is unique and mostly do not start at 1. The format is 9999-999. left 4 are the department code, and right 3 are the project number we have 305 departments. I have accomplished this using InfoPath and SharePoint Designer basically by grouping by department, converting the right 3 of PJ number to a number, then Max of Pj nuber + 1. I have been tasked to create this same query process in Nintex. So far I have a collection variable (collProjectNumbers), variable (NewProjectNumber and a list query. What I need help with, when the user submits the new form with the appropriate Department and code the workflow will filter on that department only and get the next number. I am n

Hi, I am using modern pages. Unfortunately, they check-in file as soon as they are uploaded. I've designed it so that they remain checked-out to user as soon as they are uploaded. Now the reason is to make sure user fills in required metadata. However, users are being sneaky and doing 'discard check-out' which in turn checks-in the file without filling in metadata. How can I prevent this? (without disabling discard check-out?) Can I run a library workflow which runs when files are modified (is check-in a trigger for this?)Can I run a site workflow to see if any file is checked in and if metadata is not filled in, then check them out for 'modified by' user? Thanks!

I have designed a form in classic view and have a Sharepoint "Choice" column from a list that shows up in the "Desktop" view of the form but only shows the field name in the "Mobile" version. I have a rule which hides it unless a value is chosen from another dropdown. When I disable the rule then the choice column shows up in the mobile version. Any ideas?

I'm using Office 365 and I've got a list where I need to run 6 workflows when an item is saved. I know, not ideal. The problem is that all the workflows run multiple times - I'm guessing this is because each time one of those workflows changes something it triggers all the others again. This means that it takes a long time for all the workflows to finish running. Has anyone got any ideas how I could stop this happening? I've thought about calling one workflow when another finishes, but I still can't work out how I'd stop the first one running every time the document was saved. Any suggestions would be great, thank you.

Today, we are noticing issues while publishing workflows. These workflows worked yesterday. But we could not publish today.  Is this due to Task id change?Does anyone else see similar issue while publishing an already published O 365 workflows?

I know it help it says update your query to retrieve the next 200 records, how do you set a loop to reach the end of record count?

I've got a Nintex Workflow for Office 365 list workflow that has been running successfully for several months.  The workflow has not been updated since December 2016.  The workflow only has 37 actions and is only 74 KB in size when exported. Recently, the workflow began suspending every time it runs.  Now I'm seeing the following error message below every time it runs and suspends: "RequestorId: ########-####-####-0000-000000000000. Details: The workflow instance was too large to persist (over 7448 kilobytes uncompressed, over 5242 kilobytes compressed). The maximum persistable workflow instance size is 15360 kilobytes uncompressed and 5120 kilobytes compressed." Has anyone else run across this issue?  Any troubleshooting feedback is appreciated.

I tried searching in the site to find string builder action in O365. Does anyone happen to use this favorite on-prem nintex functionality in O365 ? if yes what is the name of it or work around ?I am working on a project to build assessment for migrating on-prem site with bunch of Nintex workflows to O365 and currently running a trial version of SharePoint enterprise. I request community members who already involved in such efforts to guide me a bit here. Thanks.

Using an MMD field on a form I cannot get the "type to show term" option to work. I am typing valid terms and they don't display, but can be found using the browse lookup option? I thought I had it working on one form, but now every time I use it I have the same problem.
