I'm setting up a new tenant that will be for a potential new Nintex user.  I selected the trial and then setup the workflow cloud integration for SP Online.  I don't have the option to create a workflow with the Nintex for Office 365.    What does this mean --> Allow user to select Nintex Workflow for Office 365 (only applicable for an existing Nintex Workflow for Office 365 tenant). Is there a way to enable it?

Hi  I have a workflow with multiple level of approvals. Each level,  approver will get the mail with approval form link to approve.  Approval form link does not work for few of the approver and shows page not found. Same link works for other people. As a workaround, we are sharing the nintex form explicitly to approver then approver is able to come back to approval form and approve it.  This was working fine, issue started happening in last 2 days.     

If I copy elements like groups, text - long/short, choice - single, etc., and they have certain form rules, is there a way to copy the rules as a group, rather than copying one rule at a time? E.g. 1 group has 3 fields, and each field has their own rule, can I just create a copy of the group and it will also create a copy of those 3 fields?

We have a classic form that has multiple file attachment controls on it.  All of them allow a user to attach documents and submit the form.  When we reopen the form for the item, one of the controls will consistently not show the file that was attached.  When looking at the list item itself, the attachment does exist there but will not show up on the form.   I've confirmed that the custom JS script is not the cause, and there are no rules on the control in question.   What could be possible causes of this issue?

All Nintex e-Form also dead, when new / open existing Nintex form, it only show blank screen, without loading, and no console log.

I'm trying to set up a rule that shows specific fields when in display mode but it does not seem to work in the form that I have created in the new responsive form designer. if I change the rule to work when new or in edit mode it works. Disabling all other rules also does nothing so there can't be a conflict. Anyone have any ideas? There seems to be a lot of restrictions with the new responsive designer.

I created a form in 2020 with the New Responsive Designer that uses list lookups to allow users to set the status of an item and move it forward in a process. This lookup pulls from another sharepoint list with the available status options. I have the lookup control then connected to a text field in the sharepoint list the form interacts with so that when the list item is selected it will store that selection in the list for workflows to grab. What USED to happen is the full list lookup value was stored (example: 2;#Working). What happens NOW is you can either store the ID (example: 2) or you can store the text (example: Working). However, IF you have the lookup connected to the sharepoint field it doesn't know what to do with the text, so it just sets itself to blank and the field blanks out. If I store the number, it will pull up the correct status in the list lookup BUT this will require yet another field in the sharepoint list to translate that number to what that number means so p

HiI'm trying to create a SharePoint form with repetitive controls. I'm a SharePoint Online user(Office 365).I'm looking for a workaround to do this without using InfoPath or any third party software like Nintex. A JavaScript solution would be ideal.Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

We are having issues getting a particular variable working, we are using the 'People Picker' function and want to be able to populate the User's Job Title (from Active Directory) once a person has been selected. Has anyone been able to use the UserProfilelookup for this or a different variable please? For example, we are looking to get this automatically populated from the Directory import that ‘People Picker’ references i.e. when selecting an employee's name, that it will populate the Job Title field with a job title of IT Engineer.

Have a scenario I cannot figure out and need assistance on. Many thanks for any advice in advance!Have form where user inputs integrated functions (multi select).

We have recreated an old form and workflow in a different page. We are keeping the old for a while to ensure that all previous tasks are completed.   We are worried that end users will continue to try to access the old form though a link that was sent out in emails from a long time ago. Is there a way to automatically redirect a user to new URL when they try to access the old one from their email? 

Hi Community,I have 2 forms. Visitor Request Form Assessment Checklist that the Travel Coordinator works through with the Visitor to ensure they are aware of the site rules.When the Assessment Checklist is submitted, the associated Visitor Request form is updated to 'Approved'. The travel coordinator has asked if the assessment survey can be used to approve multiple requests at the same time.  Therefore the Request Number on the assessment form will be a look-up column with ‘multiple select’ enabled. When the assessment is completed, each individual travel form in the request form list is marked “Assessed” where the look-up column contains the particular request number.Wondering how this could be achieved.Thanks

I have created Nintex Form, Added few field in Group 1 that is going to fill by Requester. Created another Group 2 and added few fields in it, Group 2 is going to fill out by few people after form submitted. My question is there any way, I can hide group 2 from everyone except few peoples who will fill out this form after the form submitted? Thank you, any help is much appreciated. Basically I am looking audience targeting for group 2.  

Hi   Does anyone know what the limits are to a list lookup field in the Responsive designer?  Looking to find the limit and see if there is a way to filter the lookup by item ID possibly.  Putting 1/2 the list into one lookup and the rest in a 2nd, worst case.    Thank you! 

Hello , I'm running into a problem where the workflow will fail to update a list/Library item when the Workflow is started by another user. I believe it is a problem relating to the Office 365 Update Item Action. I have tested other Workflows with the standard update item action and it works as expected.  Has anyone encountered this before and what was the solution?  P.s. We have also checked that the user has the highest permission level. 

Hello all,  A project I'm working on requires some string manipulation to write a name in the following format...#####.###_yyyyMMdd  The issue is with the . (Period) symbol. I can log the formatted text and it is correct; when the WF attempts to make the actual change to the field it drops everything after the . (period) and leaves me with  ####.aspx I assume this problem is corresponding with some kind of special character limitation and I should write a symbol code instead. Does anyone know the solution?

In our process it would be helpful to post a message to a MS Teams channel whenever a task is assigned to a particular group using the "Assign a task" action.I attempted two ways of doing that:Get the e-mail address associated with a MS Teams Channel and add it as a CC recipient (the ability to CC or BCC at the initial email for task assignment was just released in the past couple of months). This doesn't work. I don't even see the CC recipient in the e-mail sent to the members of a group. This would be the preferred approach as it would simplify the integration, but it doesn't seem like you can use the e-mail addresses associated with a Teams channel as a CC or BCC recipient. Set up an incoming web hook in the MS Teams channel, then add a workflow on the Task list used by the workflow, workflow set to trigger on item creation. This workflow does not trigger when the task is created by the original workflow.My next idea is to wire up a remote event receiver on the task list to call a w

Using Nintex 365 New Responsive formI have added a Save button to the form and all works well.But in order to get back to the form I had to create a VIEW where the "Connected to" field = "Draft" and Modified by="my name"This is funky and I would like to use the "My Forms" link that I have read about that allows you to see all your draft forms but I have no such link showing???Thanks

I am getting an error in Microsoft edge as soon as I start Nintex. See the image belowAny thoughts ? 

Hi, We are using Nintex Forms New Responsive Designer for Office 365. We are using many lookup fields in the form. Had two questions regarding lookup fields. 1. Is there a way to set a default value to a lookup field in Nintex Forms? 2. Also, Is there a way a value (ex.. from another field) can be set to a lookup field using rules? Regards Aravind

Am I missing something obvious or is there no way to display/hide a page of a form based on a Rule?   O365 New Responsive Form Designer  

Hello,In O365, how have you handled the situation where a task is sent to a person who is out of the office (due to illness, vacation, left the company, etc.).  This is different than Delegate (which isn't available in O365 anyway).  This is a case where the task cannot be forwarded because the person that received the task is out of the office.  I am aware of the Escalate feature, but that won't work if the task needs immediate attention.  Perhaps this would have to be be an administrative task, which is OK.  I'd like to hear how everyone else has worked around this situation. Thank you. 

I started getting suspended workflows with an error stating that "Invalid authorization for connection ''. Credentials may have expired.". I went into the connection manager and updated the credentials to make sure that they were correct, but the workflow still suspends with the same error when I resume the workflow. The account is a service account with the setting that the password never expires.  I updated a different connection with the same account and it seems to work ok. 

This should be fairly easy but for the life of me I can't figure out how to edit an existing hyperlink. I know I can click on the View HTML button when editing an email, but what it shows for the link is completely useless:<a class="ms-rtestate-write draggableToken" contenteditable="false" href="href="#"" link="true" onclick="return false;" reflink="nw-stringbuilder-token-12e5c9c4-25d4-4e9b-afc1-6de5552e9919" reftext="nw-stringbuilder-token-76566aca-6c35-4183-a2c1-77e7ad9d06f5" spellcheck="false" style="color:blue;cursor:pointer !important;">{Task:Related item title}</a>I am trying to recreate the links someone else made, but don't know what references they used to actually make them. How can I see the actual string/references that make up the hyperlink?
