I need to clear all fields for a document with the click of a button. This works fine when the field is a simple text field, I can use 'Set Field' to set it to a variable ('blankvariable') which is simply left blank. However when I try to insert this variable into a lookup list field, it does not work (I presume because there is no blank item in the lookup list). Is there a way to get around this? I'd just like to strip out all properties other than filename

I have a Nintex Workflow (O365) attached to a Nintex Form that on submit any attachments are extracted and saved a specific file name format. I would also like to incorporate the 'created date' (short date) in the file name minus the special characters (e.g. as a 6 digits 01012017 not 01/01/2017).I have tried using a regular expression to Replace the special characters but no luck yet. This is possibly an easy fix, so feel free to roll your eyes when you reply

Hi all, I have a requirement where if a specific checkboxes from the Nintex From show “Others” then I need to show an additional text field to the staff to supply others for that checkboxes category.  I have applied a rule on label Others and the text box to hide when user DOES NOT select another option expect and rules works well as shown.The panel has around round 30 unbound controls.However, when user unchecks “Others” or user selects the any other option except, the form shows white space as shown . We know Nintex practice is use show hide for panels. But, is it possible to show hide for specific control(s) within a panel?Please let me know and what can be done not to display the white space?Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.‌ ..any help on this?

Hi  I have  List Lookup control on my Nintex Form which is maps the title to an person for the purposes of email notification.  Now the requirement has changed and I have been asked to check all the check boxes once they have painted on the screen.  These can be dynamic as they are driven from a sharepoint list  ok looks like I will need to write a bit of js - once I set a suitable client ID  I have used JS to detect a check value but this was single checkbox :  if(developerIsAwake.prop('checked')){  alert( ' I am awake!)' }  I am however, unsure re my Lookup List check boxes - anyone done this?   Daniel

Hello,I have an issue with my workflow. I created workflow on Office 365 which upload a copy of an item in a list from another list (same site).I followed this tutorial Nintex attachment workflow and it works.The problem is the file is corrupted when I try to open it. For me (I'm not 100% sure), it is because I delete the initial file at the end of my workflow. So my question is : Can I totally upload the file without make it corrupted ?

Hi Guys,I need to change the status of a field upon submitting form based on multiple choice filed.when an employee submits the form , the status should be "Manager", and when the Line manager approves the status should change to   "Department Head" and so on. I know there are no action rule in Nintex and we have to make use of either calculated fields, JavaScript or "Set field in current item" of work flow. 1)I tried calculated field may not be the right way to go for the above scenario ( correct me if I am wrong).2)I am currently making use of "Set field in current item" which gives me allsorts of problems I am using "Wait for Event in List Item" and the event fires when the item is set . I created some conditions to make it work.3)JavaScript (which I am not very good at) seems to be the best option from reading through the post.I have set client id for javascript for ClientLineManagerApproval,ClientDepartmentHead,ClientHR,ClientPayroll from the setting "Client ID JavaScript variable

Hi All, I have a long form and users need to full all the required fields. If they miss any data Nintex shows validation errors on the page.I found a blog that solves the issue by providing CSS @keyframes fadeIn { from {opacity: 0;} to {opacity: 1;}}  .nf-validation-summary  {     position: fixed;     z-index : 1000;     top: 150px;     width: 280px;     left: 15px;     background-color: white;     border: 2px solid red;     border-radius:3px;     box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px 3px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.6);     animation: fadeIn 1s;    margin-top : 20px;  }  when a form is loaded, it keeps that red border as default even if a user has NOT filled any entry.Q: How could modify the above CSS code to show validation error ONLY when missed any form field(s)?Any help would be highly appreciated.
