Nintex form displays ID instead of value.  I see the value when I preview as well as when I fill out the form.  However, in the form, it shows up as an id.  I found the same question asked but the solution provided is a short cut.  I wanted to understand why it happened and how to fix it.  Thank you. 

I have used Nintex workflow on-prem for a while and now finally having a go with Nintex for O365 and totally lost (and flabbergasted) by the action naming - there is no consistency between the versions and I have no idea what to search for in the action search box!If like me you are annoyed by this, feel free to hit up my uservoice post with all your votes:https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/218291-3-nintex-workflow-for-office-365/suggestions/19949920-consistent-action-names‌

Good day,In my workflow I have added Text with a URL so that the Initiator will be able to click on the link and open the Form that was submitted by him. See Picture Nintex1 When the email arrives ONLY a section of the URL is a Hyperlink, I need the full URL to be a Hyperlink that the User can click on to open the Form he submitted.The reason for this is so that the User does not see any other Forms that were submitted. Any ideas/suggestions please regards

Hi Everyone,I am trying a simple email triggering option when Item is added. I am trying to send a Enhanced rich text  column data (which contain image ) as email body. Though all the formatted text are coming fine but the Image I have included are not coming. Is there limitation to the Nintex workflow ?

I came upon this issue, where our client want to have a dropdown for people picker with a list of users in a group. This is for O365 and I do not see a control for this functionality in Nintex Forms. Options I tried: Option 1I tried to write javascript function to populate the dropdown with user names but on Save or Submit I get the event validation issue (reading up on the forum suggest that this is a known issue), I would have to further save the value in another field, clear the dropdown before Save/submit and also on form load, load the options and set the selected index. This seems like too much work as I have about 5 such fields. Option 2Have a people field and a multi line textbox. A javascript function will run a RESt API call and populate the text box with the people in the group. The user will use this as a reference and start typing in the people field to choose the approver. Option 2 will not be very desirable for the client, but if that is the new experience, we would have

While setting remainder option in task action, Is it possible to create custom frequency(Daily/Weekly/Monthly) to send remainder emails using start Task process action in Nintex workflow? Here is my requirement, I have to send remainder email based on a custom list column(Priority) value. If priority column has value Emergency then i need to send remainder email everyday. If the value  is Urgent, need to send emails once in 2 days and value is Medium need to send email once in 4 days. Is it possible to send remainder emails based on the column values?

We have a top level site with a list that contains information (site name, owner, URL, etc.) about subsites that have been created.  The scenario I’m trying to figure out is how to change a subsite’s URL and Title if a user changes the name of the subsite in the list at the top level.  I’m basically trying to use a workflow to accomplish changing the subsite URL and Title name. I was able to do this on premise using the PowerShell action for Nintex Workflow that Aaron Labiosa created (NTX PowerShell Action - Stable Release).  But I’m striking out so far as to how to do this in O365 via Nintex Workflow.  Any ideas if this is even possible and if there are any approaches?

Hello, I would really appreciate some help with my problem. I am a Nintex noob and am really struggling with this scenario. Basically I have two lists, list A & list B. I am creating a Nintex Form from list C and in my form I want it so that I have a lookup box referencing a field in list A called 'Activity' and a lookup box referencing a field in list B called 'Sponsor'. Now depending on what value is selected in the 'Activity' lookup box the 'Sponsor' box will only show the items associated to that value. We have done this previously in InfoPath (examples below) but cannot seem to get this to work in Nintex Forms. List AList BInfoPath Examples of what I'm trying to accomplish Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

The company I work for is big on printing.  Is there anyway for when a list item containing attachments is set to print to pdf the attachments are printed out automatically as well.   My real world example is I have a custom list that records incidents in our plant.  There maybe a picture of an injury and a pdf of a workers comp form attached to this list item.  When they click the print pdf button is there anyway to have the the form as well as the image and pdf "printed" to the new pdf document as well?    Thanks

Hi, I have workflows scheduled to run overnight at 1 AM and again at 1 PM. Both of which are not firing, could you please let me know why this could be the case? Thanks!

We have recently come across an issue with Workflow not starting (internal status is "not started") but they run actions in the workflow.They get stuck in the workflow and we are struggling to find out what is causing the problem and also how we can terminate them.We've tried to terminate them but nothing happens - they seem to be stuck in limbo. Any help is greatly welcome.For my list I had deleted it as I got too frustrated with it. I have restored it and re-published the workflow which is why it shows "deleted association". Regards,Paul

Hi all! Recently I was asked to help solving an issues with a workflow. It had 95 actions, but taking care of the infopath form (was querying and updating its XML). The workflow continuously was  running into "Suspended" claiming that it is too large to persist, ex.:RequestorId: 86e24769-e969-3395-0000-000000000000. Details: The workflow instance was too large to persist (over 9801 kilobytes uncompressed, over 6830 kilobytes compressed). The maximum persistable workflow instance size is 15360 kilobytes uncompressed and 5120 kilobytes compressed.‍‍‍ The workflow, when uncompressed had 1,2MB (http://help.nintex.com/en-US/O365/o365/O365WorkFlow/BestPractices/BP-Determinefilesize.htm) after I split it into 4 smaller, it's size decreased to 430KB. But even though, it is running slow and when I add a 2,5MB attachment to the InfoPath form (so that the form has like 3,6MB) the workflow gets suspended. The only idea I have is that, the “Query XML” and “Update XML” actions are the reason. My gue

I have a workflow that sends emails and uses elements from the library columns to fill in the text. A few of these columns are pulling in the column ID and the text that is stored in that column, IE "Tire|33bee267-b1c5-4d3d-b2bb-8ddd0d25cf9e". I just need the information before the pipe to be displayed in the email. Does anyone know how to go about separating this in variables so the emails are readable?

How to calendar my WF to start each day.

Hi, I have a workflow that emails a user group (other than uploader's group) when the uploader uploads a file. The group which get email is: Report Users (full access)The group that uploads: Report Uploaders (contribute) The workflow used to work when users with full permission uploaded files. Now that users with 'contribute' access uploads files, the workflow triggers then stays as 'started' with the following message. Looking for potential solutions. - Based on my research, I did set the group as 'who can view the membership of the group' to 'everyone'- There is nothing on 'cc' fieldThanks!Retrying last request.

Wich permission level (Edit, Design, Full Control)  does a key user need, to be able to create a new Nintex Workflow in SharePoint Online?Many thanks in advance.

I've browsed a ton of threads on here about creating a button to start a list workflow, but not a site one in O365. When I go to the Site Workflows area and copy the URL of starting the workflow I want, I get this Javascript: javascript:StartWorkflow4('26220e76-0c13-4c07-8763-4f51589b57cf', '', '')‍ I can't figure out how to basically build a URL or a button to start this darn site workflow. I am not looking to put this on a Nintex Form, just on the page.
