Hello Everyone! Let me start by explaining the issue i am having.... I have two lists:ListA: This list has two columns, 1 for Location and 1 for Approvers (Person/Group)ListB: This list has a bunch of columns, one of which is Location When an item is submitted in ListB, I want to query ListA, using the Location as a filter.  I then want to set the Approvers to a variable and then email this variable.  When i do this, my workflow suspends.  After searching for the past hour or two, a user mentioned using the 'Get an Item from a Dictionary' action but i cannot figure this out.  Attached is what my variable looks like.  Please provide some guidance on what i am doing wrong or another way to accomplish this.  Thanks in advance.

I have a form on which I want to show a particular control if one of two conditions is met (based on selections from other drop downs).  I have done this (on the very same form) several times for different controls using just one condition, and it works.  But something about the || operator seems to be giving me grief with this particular rule.   Basically if the user makes a specific selection in the 'Type' drop down ("A"), then in the 'Owner' drop down selects one of two options ("ZZ" or "YY"), the field would appear.  Both drop downs of course have other options, any combination of which would leave the field hidden.   So conceptually, the rule should be along the lines of:When:Type != "A" && (Owner != "ZZ" || Owner != "YY")Then:Hide For some reason, it works when Type A is selected alongside Owner YY, but not when ZZ is selected.  I have tried moving the brackets around, and even writing out using the actual 'and', 'not' 'equals' terms along with all the appropriate bracket

Hi there,I have a form that will initially be filled out by any user in our company.  I have a special group that needs to be able to edit two certain fields in this form and the general company members should not be able to edit these two fields.  I'm admittedly terrible with formulas and don't fully understand how to create them to give me the results I want.  Can anyone help? Thank you!

Hello, I received suspended information. Previously, for old users when filling out the leave request form, the workflow went well and smoothly without any problems. But now there are two new users added, and when they input leave a request on their behalf the workflow doesn't work it turned to suspended. Can someone help me for this case? Thank you 

Hi Nintex ForumI would like to have validation rule on a People Picker field. I have to check if the picked user has a specific Mail Domain ("@domain.com"). How can i do this. Any help is appreciated.Friendly regardsGreg

I am trying to create receipts for entries into a Nintex Form.    In the workflow, I am sending an email and the body of the email I want to return the display name for one of my Person or Group fields. right now the email shows i:0#.f|membership|john.smith@email.com   I tried using a Workflow variable, but cannot figure out how to get the workflow variable attached to the specific field. I can do a list lookup, but trying to isolate to the current entry.    I tried a userprofilelookup for a variable in the form, but cannot get it to return the value for an item I entered into the form.    I am sure this is easy, but I have been at it for a few hours now.  

Hi all,   Can we create a new custom workflow history list for a workflow in Sharepoint online ? I am seeing only only default workflow history in the workflow settings, it is capturing all the workflows history which are there in site collection.    I am trying to capture only the single workflow history in separate history list   Appreciate your response!

Hi, I've got some text that I've gathered in a Workflow and I'm trying to create a .csv file with it using a "Web Request". I've watched THE Vadim Tabakman video but his example is for on premise and I just can't work out how to do it with O365 - I don't even know what to use for the content type. Has anyone seen an example of how to set up the web request action in O365? I've not done this before so apologies if the answers are really obvious.

Hi all,I have a workflow in sharepoint online, it is very basic. I have an assign task action which works when I don't use the form. If I go into edit form on the action and create a form that all works fine however when the user submits a response I get the runtime error below, i don't get this error if I delete the form. The workflow is for tracking compliance with some training, when someone is added into the SPO list the workflow will send them an email telling them to do some training, once they have done it there is a link in the email that they use to confirm they've done it which is the assign task action. I would like to use a form so it looks cleaner however I get that error whenever I use it.Server Error in '/' Application.Runtime ErrorDescription: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.  

Dear, We have problems with Chrome (Chromium 94  - 64bits) to load Nintex Forms. It keeps loading. In the console we found an Acces denied message:Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'sessionStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document. For other browser like: Edge (Chromium 94 - 64bits) and Brave (Chromium 94 - 64bits) we don't have problems. Anyone knows what can be the source of this problem?

Rookie mistake. In the default Nintex Task List I wanted to hide some of the task fields. I did this and reordered the fields.  Unfortunately, while in the content type settings page, I did not read the "This content type is for use by Nintex Workflow for Office 365 and it should not be altered." in time.  Now when the approver goes to open the task, they no longer see the nice "approved" or "rejected" buttons down by the "save" and "cancel" buttons. How can I restore the content types back to default?

HiI am trying to publish the workflow from a local folder to a list on site using nintex web services. I added the service reference in my visual studio solution. After that I tried to instantiate the object using  NintexWorkflowService.NintexWorkflowWS objWFService = new NintexWorkflowService.NintexWorkflowWS();but the service reference has no class for "NintexWorkflowWS". How can I publish the workflow? 

Hi, we have the Nintex for Mobile setting turned on by default for Nintex O365 forms.  Unfortunately we've ended up with digital landfill in our mobile app - many uncategorised forms, that are mostly incompatible with the mobile app. Does anyone know how to change the default tenant level setting so that authors must choose to turn the setting on if their form is to be delivered via mobile app?Also, would anyone know how to remove forms from the app en-masse... rather than opening one-by-one and changing the setting?

I have a form where I need to trigger a lookup to determine if the requester has an existing request in another list. The basic flow is this:Submitter opens form and enters there name in a People Picker field (Requester Name). Next selects from a radio button type if the request is New or Extension. Rule states that if Extension is selected, to look in the other Sharepoint list for the above Requester Name to match the Name column from the other Sharepoint list. This is where everything breaks down. The rule is not finding a match. Not sure if it is a formatting issue or what. I tried to have the rule populate the Name column to a text field on the form, but no value is returned. If I grab a different column, the field populates. It is only when I try to return a name/people picker value. The formula I am using is: lookup("Transportation Request", "Status", "Scheduled", "Name","","") 

Hi team,    We are doing a migration from SharePoint 2016 to SPO. We are using some convert to document actions in our on-premise Nintex workflows.  It seems like those actions are not supported in Nintex online.  Do we have any alternatives for the same in Nintex online ?  Appreciate your help in advance.   Thanks Nikhil  

Hi Team,   I have a requirement user will enter the description and I have to validate the description is unique or not. can you please tell me how to check string validation.      

I don't think this is possible, but I thought I would ask the question to see if anyone has any ideas. In a New Responsive form, I am trying to set the value of a Variable based on the Lookup() function.  I am looking up the value from a list based on 3 values.  However, the Lookup() function allows for only 1 Filter Value.  In the past, I have created a column in the Lookup List that concatenated the 3 values, and passed the concatenated Filter Value in the Lookup() function and that worked great.  However, the Lookup list I am using this time is updated daily, so if I add a column today, it will be gone tomorrow.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish Looking up a value based on 3 values?

As the title says, is there a way to default the view of groups to collapsed? Have some very long forms and having to collapse them every time I open them is very inconvenient.

Hi Team, Can we do Rest Api calls in Nintex new responsive forms? Please suggest. Thanks!

This should be a simple enough function but I can't find any simple solution to it, so hope an expert can help.Within a repeating section I have 2 fields of interest: "R_Days", a multichoice checkbox 1-31 for days of month, and "R_Full", a yes/no checkbox.  What I need to do is if R_Full is checked then set R_Days to all values (the whole month), and correspondingly, if R_Full is changed to unchecked then reset the value of R_Days back to "", effectively blanking out the days.  I started down the NWF$() reference path within the main form area but immediately hit the "this cannot be done within a repeating section" message.Any advice most appreciated.

My client wants a "time" field, separate from a date/time field where the user will type in the mm:ss am/pm.  I think the "Input Validation" will help with this.  But I am having trouble figuring out how to configure either the "Text Mask" or the "Regular Expression".  I'd like the validation to enforce a 1 or 2 digit hour, a colon, a 2 digit minute and a required AM or PM.For example  05:30 AM  or 12:15 PMAlso,  Is there a link that explains "Text Mask" or "Regular Expression"? 

I have a classic Nintex form where I have multiple buttons that show depending on the status of the workflow on an item.  Some of the buttons return a string to a field in the item which is used in moving the workflow along.Those buttons all work great.  The issue I have is the Save button in the ribbon in the upper left corner.  Somehow that is linked to one of the Save buttons and when I save the item using the ribbon button, it writes a value to that field using one of the buttons on the form, even if those buttons are hidden and that option should not be available. Can anyone explain how the Save button in the ribbon is tied to the Save buttons on my form and how to break that link?  I just want a basic save without writing a value to that field and triggering the workflow to move.

I have created Responsive form and added Group1 and Group 2 controls on the form. My requirements are: 1. I have to add 2 security groups to the form, these groups can see the form once the form submitted.  1st Security group can edit the form after the form submitted, and 2nd security group can only view the form after submit. Please suggest the formula work in this case? Thanks, PC
