I'm guessing this is a bug/missing feature, but maybe I'm just overlooking something. I hope someone here can confirm. I tried to set up a component workflow with a "choice" input. This would be for choosing a parameter from a list of fixed options. I was able to create a variable of type "Choice" and set the Initiation to yes.  I was able to enter the list of options. When manually starting the workflow, the choice input correctly shows up as a drop-down selection box. However, when I add the component workflow to another workflow using the "Run Component workflow" action, the choice input is missing. The other inputs are there.   If I replace the choice input with a text input, it shows up. This is risky though since there's no way (that I know of) to leave a note saying "these are the values you can type here."

For some reason that I can't figure out, the multi-line text box has the text starting from the right side of the box rather than the usual left side. What could be causing this and what could remedy it?

Hello everyone & good morning.I need help setting up a Switch function at the beginning of my Workflow.  Switches are easy and straightforward, but with one little problem.  It requests a "Select the variable to evaluate."  Since I want the Switch to choose the List Name of "Problems", there is no variable to choose from, since that is the List's name.Any thoughts?Thank you. 

We are using Nintex O365 and have several cases where we issue a "Terminate Current Workflow" command in our workflows.  This is intentional and we would like it not to be considered "Unsuccessful" by Nintex Analytics.  Is there any other action we can use to terminate a workflow so Nintex Analytics does not consider it unsuccessful? I know we have the option to recode the workflow with a Run If or Conditional Branch, but these are very complex workflows, and that would take a lot of time and testing.  Goring forward, we plan to code it in such a way that we do not need to use the "Terminate Current Workflow" action, but I'd like to find out if there is anything else we can do for now.  

Good morning everyone,For those that might be able to assist:  I've developed the following format for seven questions in Nintex List:Question #1    Response #1 format = 0|[Answer]    Response #2 format = 1|[Answer]    Response #3 format = 3|[Answer]    Response #4 format = 9|[Answer]Question #2    Response #1 format = 0|[Answer]    Response #2 format = 1|[Answer]    Response #3 format = 3|[Answer]    Response #4 format = 9|[Answer]Etc..  Each question can only have one response, with the corresponding number/amount.  How do I tally the seven response amounts into one amount (in Nintex Forms)?Thank you for your thoughts and help. 

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to Calculate a Value from a text response in a drop-down menu.  The drop-down menu has four choices; (1) Neither driven by or impacted to business initiative, (2) [Answer], (3) [Answer], (4) [Answer].  I would like answer (1) to equal 0 if selected.  I would code answers (2), (3) & (4) accordingly.  The List = Problems.  The List Name = Impact of the effort - View.  The drop-down question is Impact of the effort. My attempt at coding looks like this:  If("Neither driven by or impacted to business initiative","0","999") Connected to:  Impact of the effort Save:  Integer Recalculate:  Yes, Yes, Yes. Thank you for your time & help.

I'm working on migrating existing workflows to O365, and I need to replace all the existing Collection actions. For the new "Add Item to Collection" action, there are separate mandatory parameters "Target Collection" and "Output."  Since I'm adding an item to a collection that already exists, I don't understand why I would need to specify more than one collection.   Add item to collection (nintex.com)  Field Description Target collection Collection variable that you want to add the item to. Select from the drop-down list or create a new variable. Index Index (location or counter) of the item to add. If the index value specified is larger than the size of the collection, then the item is added to the end of the collection. Value Value associated with the item. Output Collection variable to store the collection with the added item.

I have a list and it has 3 sections to it, "New Hire" ,"Break Fix" and "Returns" . I use the "Title" field as the "Computer Serial Number". You first pick if it's a New hire, Break fix, or Return. At start they all are hidden so you only see one type at a time. So the odd thing is:New Hire> Computer Serial Number> 12345 - No data storedBreak Fix> Computer Serial Number> 12345 - No data storedReturn>Computer Serial Number> 12345 -Data Stored I saw this and deleted the New Hire and Break fix "Computer Serial Number" and then copied and pasted the "Return" "Computer Serial Number"... still same result. I have checked all the "connected to" and they all match. How the hell did I find .5 in Binary... I have a gut feeling it's because of the "title" field but why some times and not others..... Thanks in advance.

I am using a workflow to set permissions for each item in a list. The workflows sends an email to users with permissions.  However those users are forwarding the email to other's who do not have permissions.  We are OK with anyone who has the link to have access to the item.  Is there anyway to grant permissions to anyone with a link?    

Outside of run ifs having 1 output path vs 2 when discussing a conditional action, what are the pros/cons of using either?Is there a large enough performance difference between the two to warrant one over the other?More specifically, even in a situation where you only need one path, does it really matter which action is used?

Hi,I have searched everywhere and tried al kind of things to get this working. Until now unsuccesfull. The situation: We build a  Nintex form, wich is connected to Sharepoint Online lists.If a user logs in the form gets two parameters (user and organisational ID) and with this information other data is lookedup about the user. This works fine...... Until we we place it in a Iframe on a Microsoft powerpage. The idea is we like to use the credentials of the logged in user and get the parameter values from their and pass them to the Nintex form. Some information i found talks about security policies, and using fluid template wich is build in Powerpages.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/content-security-policyhttps://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Powerapps-Portal-Pass-parameters-in-IFrame-src/td-p/556306It all has the same result:  It looks like it are two different worlds who will not communicate with each other. I tried with making a standard HTML p

In a classic designer form and a SmartPhone view, it seems that my Javascript doesn't work.As the same peace of code is working in the Desktop view, I assume that this is some sort of limitation in mobile views?My Javascript file resists in the site assets library and is referenced in the Custom JavaScript Includes in the form settings.I call my code like so:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function() { try { getAdditions(); } catch(e) { console.log(e); } });I am fetching data from a list within the same site with the RequestExecutor:var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl); If users are accessing the form with a mobile phone, they get following message:It seems like the SP.RequestExecutor.js will not be loaded in mobile views?Can anybody bringt some light into this? - Thanks

I am trying to create a Component Workflow called by a List Workflow in which I need to "Lookup" a field from a list where the listname is passed in from the List workflow.   I am passing in the ListName, ItemID, LookupListName and a few other fields.  In my component workflow, I am trying to set a Variable using the "Set Workflow Variable" action.  When I try to use "List Lookup", the list name is in a dropdown.  Since the list name will be one of the input variables, I need to be able to perform a Lookup based on this input variable.  Is there anyway to do this? I know I can pass in the value I am looking up from the List Workflow, but that would entail updating more than 100 List workflows.  If I can do this in the Component workflow, it will be a lot less work.   

Workflow fails to run automatically or manually. It happens only in one subsite in Sharepoint365.Error Message: Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow. Any suggestion?

Hello, I am converting my Nintex workflow from on-prem to Office 365.  My on-prem workflow uses a Query List action to get a subset of rows from a list.  Then I would use a For Each action to go through one by one each of the rows from the prior Query List action.  The problem is this, when I had they Query List in the For Each action (on-prem) I was able to grab several columns for my output then process them.  I can't seem to figure out how to get the actual values of the columns with the O365 version like I did with on-prem.  This is the on-prem and for each of those “count” columns I can then do calculations.    Here is the configuration for the O365 Query Action…   The AlarmCount and AppellateCount don’t seem to give me the values, they are always zero when I know that there are rows that have a > 0 value in it. Do I have something configured wrong in my Query List action?  Or do I need to do something completely different with O365? Thanks

Hello everyone,So my company just activate Azure AD multi-factor authentication (MFA). And now some workflow with permission list is suspended. And when I looked at the history of the workflow health and the result "Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access ''. Any solution on how to recover the workflow to work fine again? Thank you 

I'm trying to set item permissions so that only the person who filled out the form can read the item. When I run the workflow, I see a message, "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))". I'm running the action within an Action Set so that it would execute with workflow owner privilege's. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I am trying to use Query XML to extract the XML of a repeating section stored in a SharePoint List. Unlike OLD nintex forms, the XML does not have field tags. What I see if below.I have tried every combination in the Workflow Query XML to get just one field with no luck. Any assistance would be appreciated! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version>1.0</Version><Items><Item><_5b4a8efd4a82752c4e66265c1481950f type="System.DateTime">2022-06-14T14:00:00.000Z</_5b4a8efd4a82752c4e66265c1481950f><_081353338bd989a9e26f62f1f7af29bb type="System.Boolean">False</_081353338bd989a9e26f62f1f7af29bb><_87853d3468722266e7f610a26ef62f0c type="System.Int64">470</_87853d3468722266e7f610a26ef62f0c><_6e56c17b64a20f27db5d01aaa8096c81 type="System.String">6</_6e56c17b64a20f27db5d01aaa8096c81><_3155cee3322c84f7c937d06feb152c5a type="System.String">11</_3155cee3322c84f7c937d06feb152c5a><_3075d1

I have a form that asks for a license plate number to act on. Once the plate number is entered and Next is clicked, a lookup function fires that looks for a matching license plate in a different list. If the plate number is found, the name of the vehicle owner, make, model and color are returned and update fields on the current form. This all works fine. My issue is I do not have a way to determine if a match was not found, only if one was. I am trying to display a message if the search does not find a match, but am running into a block. I cannot find any functions that would indicate that no result was found.   This would be similar to a SQL query script that would look for EOF (end of file).   If EOF then       do something else      do something else end if   Does anyone know if this is even possible?

An action set which is within a parrallel branch is set to run with highest privileges to allow the workflow tasks to override user permissions and write in a specific list.  The tasks within the action set work fine for an administrator role however they fail for the rest of the users. Solutions already tried:Removing the action set from a parrallel branch - still tasks fail Re-activating site feature 'Workflows can use app permissions'

I am trying to find a comprehensive list of formats for the FormatDate function, but can't find a full list. For example, format using "d" returns the day of the week number (extremely useful) and "ddd" returns day short name, so today is 4 or Thu, respectively. The help topic doesn't show either of these, so I know the list is not complete. I found that to the week number, use "w". An example of why I'd like that is if I can figure out if it's an odd week or even, I can calculate if it's pay week or not, and send reminders to enter time on the appropriate day prior to payday. So short of my trying the entire alphabet, is there a full list somewhere?

Hi,I am trying to add Nintex Form for office 365 in SharePoint online but it showing "Sorry, something went wrong with adding the app". Can anyone help here to resolve this issue. I have attached screenshot for the reference. 

I am trying to recreate a workflow that we currently have in SharePoint 2013/Nintex Workflow 2013 in SharePoint Online with Nintex Workflow O365. When trying to run the workflow in SPO the workflow suspends with the following error:An exception occurred while processing parameter [InputXmlSource]I have three Query XML actions in the workflow that are set (most likely incorrectly) to the XML source Content and Current Item; current item being a Nintex Forms repeating section connected to a Plain text Multiple lines of text field. The workflow and form are connected to a list.I have set the XPath query to the same field as described above. (I am not 100% sure what I should set the path to.)Return result as is set to Text.Query result in is set to a Collection variable.Further down in the workflow I have a For Each and Get Item from Collection action(s), but I believe the error is coming from the initial Query XML actions. Please let me know if there is additional information I can provid

As the title says, is there a way to enable duplicate results in O365 Search Query workflow action?I'm using it to search within property restriction to search within a site collection for a specific list item value. I want all the subsites containing that list item. i.e. ContentTypeId Begins with 0x0100 and Title equal to "This is the Item I want")But the results are duplicate trimmed. Is there a way to disable duplicate trimming?I really don't want to use a "Call HTTP Web Service" or "Web Request" Action. Thanks
