I have created a list in SharePoint and what to add a column to capture the repeating section on my Nintex form,When I go to add my column, I'm missing the following Nintex Repeating Section Data  Any Ideas? RegardsClaire

I am using an Yes/No checkbox to change a DateTime field format to only display the Date format if checked. So far I have used just the Control (e.g. AllDayEvent), Control == '1', Control=='Yes', etc..) but the Date field in question does not change. Whats the trick? 

We have a form on which a user needs to select a restaurant. There are two types of restaurants, ones where individuals choose their personal food selection afterwards and ones where there is a pre-set bulk catered selection of food. When an event requester chooses the restaurant to cater, we want them to know which are which. I've seen on forms outside of Nintex where there is an option that is bold that is not selectable that acts as somewhat of a header for the choices below it. Is there a way to accomplish this in Nintex? I don't want to just add it as a choice for fear of users picking their restaurant as "Individual Order Restaurants" and not understanding that all options below that "header" are Individual Order Restaurants.

Friends,Is there a way to configure quick step to start specific Nintex list workflow in Office 365?Any pointers to achieve this are welcomeThanks

This is not an error I have seen before, only shows up when trying to Publish or Save a workflow.  - SharePoint Designer Workflows are publishing and ruining ok- Account is Site Collection Administrator- Opening existing Nintex workflows on the site just show up as blank (no error message on designer)- Existing Nintex workflows are running ok (but can't edit them as above)- Can't create any new Nintex workflows anyone had this before, just about to reinstall Nintex WF app on the site

Hi! According to the Nintex Workflow for O365 REST API documentation, if I want to use the method to import workflow into the existing one I should provide the GUID of the existing workflow (http://help.nintex.com/en-us/sdks/sdko365/Reference/REST/NWO_REF_REST_ImportWorkflowPut.htm) - the question is, how can I obtain it and from where? Second thing - if I'd like to use "Import into new workflow" method, there really is no way to set the imported workflow name? It has to be the same as the exported one? And therefore the only way to import a workflow to a different list/ library in the same site is to create a workflow for that list/ library and then overwrite it using the above mentioned method? Has anyone used the REST API to for example publish workflows on many lists from a single source (maintenance purposes)? Regards,Tomasz

I have a drop down that is used to pick a "group" name. I want to use the fn-isMemberOfGroup() function to display a section only if the member is part of a group based on that drop down. Example: Dropdown field (named "Industry") includes:Industry1Industry2Industry3 I have 3 sharepoint groups (each with membership visibility set to Everyone)Industry1 ViewersIndustry2 ViewersIndustry3 Viewers I've tried every combination I can think of to get this to workfn-isMemberOfGroup("Industry1 Viewers")     -- manually type name, works fine fn-isMemberOfGroup(Industry+" Viewers")     -- does not work  fn-isMemberOfGroup("Industry Viewers")       -- does not work fn-isMemberOfGroup(Industry Viewers)          -- does not work fn-isMemberOfGroup(""+Industry+" Viewers")  -- does not work fn-isMemberOfGroup(Industry" Viewers")        -- does not work Is this possible?  Am I messing up the syntax?

Hi, Iv'e been modifying all the validation in our existing Leave Form in SharePoint Online Using Nintex Form to be available on Mobile Apps. One of our validation that I want to implement also in Nintex Mobile App is the Vacation Leave 2 days ahead filling. Kindly refer to the screenshot for the sample validation.  From_Tablet < dateFile is working just fine however evertime I add dateAddDays function it is not working at all. The validation you see in screenshot is what we are currently using in Nintex Form for VL Validation and it is working definitely fine except for Nintex Mobile, So I was wondering if this function is not working at all in Nintex Mobile App. Any suggestion? Thanks,

I'm trying to use the Lookup runtime function on Nintex 365 Forms to lookup a value in a list on a different site, but I'm having problems. The documentation says:lookup("list title", "column to filter on", "value to filter on", "output column")List Title = To point to a list in another site, precede the list title with the server relative url path of the site, then delimit the list title with a pipe ‘|’ symbol, e.g. “/sites/siteCollection/siteA|customList” On my form calculated field I have entered:lookup("/squads/procurement|Person to Cost Centre","Title",Current User (Display Name),"Cost Centre") There is an item in this list which matches my username.  However, when I preview the form it just displays: #Value! Using IE Dev tools to troubleshoot, the error says:errMessage = "List 'Person to Cost Centre' does not exist at site with URL 'https://<OurCompany>.sharepoint.com/essentials/Concierge'." This site URL is the path to the site the form is on, so it seems to be ignoring th

Hi all,I'm attempting to use the 'Copy to file share' action. I keep getting 'Error Code: (3) The system cannot find the path specified.'This is due to either of these 2 reasons (Possibly both) and I don't know this fix The file location I am wanting to save to includes a '&' and also a space which is why I believe I am getting this error. I know this as I have used a different file in the same location with no symbols or spaces and everything works fine. I'v also tried %20 and %26 Example file location: //example/example2/example&example example Any help would be much appreciated.

I need to store a 'reason for declining' in a Customized Task form.To store the feedback I use a Workflow variable (so I can send it by email in a follow-up action). I can only find the option to show the Workflow Variable in the Task Form as a single line text.Is there a way to use a Multi Line Text input?

Hi all! I have a weird problem. When workflow tries to execute action "Office 365 Upload file" it gets suspended. The aim of the action is to copy a file indicated as a "Content" (direct to a fil stored in SharePoint, being a list attachment) into a UserPictures library in the same site as the mentioned list. However workflow gets suspended showing hint: "RequestorId: 6c4389e3-efe8-c4de-0000-000000000000.

I'm running in to an error when using an App Step within my Office 365 Nintex Workflow. Eventhough I have activated the corresponding Site Feature, I keep getting the error listed below when adding the App Step action to my canvas. Please note that I'm getting this error in both existing and newly created workflows. Are there any other settings I have to change in order for this to work (e.g. on Tenant Level)? The required feature is not currently active. To enable App Step, the following site feature must be activated:Workflows can use app permissions

I'm having an Infopath form which is having sections numbered from 0 to 14. They are being filled based on some rules. I'd like to use a "Query XML" action to get only those having values in nodes <ID{n}> (where {n} is the next number from 0 to 14). I'm then using the following XPath query://my:Approvals/*[starts-with(name(), 'my:Approve')][*[starts-with(name(), 'my:ID') and text() >= 0}‍]]‍‍‍‍When I'm testing the query using the http://www.xpathtester.com/xpath tester it returns me 3 nodes.However when I execute my workflow processing the actions logs error message: XPath query is invalid. Expression must evaluate to a node-set.. I have no idea how to debug what this action is returning or what am I doing wrong, when on the other hand XPath tester tells me everything should be correct... I highly appreciate any help  Best regards,Tomasz
