Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server:

This is functionality is not available out of the box (yet). But thanks to some pointers from ‌, here at the Nintex Community. I was able to get this working using the Query List action coupled with the For Each action made this possible. So here is my write-up of this.Prepare the columns and workflow variables you’ll need:Tasks columns The Comments column of the Workflow Tasks list you are using should already be multi-line text column (but you are welcome to setup another column for this purpose). Main List columns The Review Comments (comments) column on your main list should also be set as a multi-line text column. The Reviewer (approver name) column on your main list should also be set as a multi-line text column. NB: I have set these as plain text (just in case). Make sure you have enough lines setup. Workflows will error if there is not enough space in the text column (6 lines is 6x254 characters I believe); the character total is important here; not the no of lines (I think).Wo

I have a Single Line Textbox in a Repeating Section, which has the Data Type set to Decimal.I want to format the value entered in this control to 2 decimal places.If I set the String Format for this control to "0.00", then once I submit the form, the value entered correctly formats to 2 decimal places - e.g. 123 returns as 123.00.However, when I then look at this value in the Repeating Section XML, the formatting is not retained: the value 123.00 returns as 123 in the XML.How do I format the value in the control to 2 decimal places so that the formatting is retained in the Repeating Section XML - e.g. 123 returns as 123.00 both in the form control and in the XML?

Hi All, I want ot get day for date value in Nintex workflow O365     Example: Input will be ==>08/14/2021   Output will be saturday or SAT

Hi, I am new to Nintex Workflow for Office 365 and want to know how to hide/remove an empty variable from an email. I have a form with 10 fields for pages and 10 fields for documents and submits to a SP list. When a new item is created, a notification email is sent to the user verifying what was submitted and that we received the request.  The page and doc columns are mapped  to variables that are added in the email like this: The issue is if the user only submits one item, the empty variables show up as a empty line.  I would like the email to be more compact and have the empty variables not show up as a new line. Example email:How I would like the email to display (nice and compact): How do I hide/remove an empty variable from an email?

Hi All, I'm more familiar with on-prem nintex, but we have the 365 and i'm trying to do a simple enough operation, get the index values for something that exists in a collection. basically, check if item exists in collection for on-prem. the check if item exists in nintex 365 only accepts a boolean variable. Is there no tool for this anymore? if not, has anyone found a decent workaround? Thanks,Nute

I have a Nintex form in SP 2016. Wondering if there is a built in function that will tell me the occurrence of character in a control.Example:I have a calculated field that has "#" symbol(s). I want to know how many symbols exists in that field. Based on that I shall perform some validation.Note: I cannot use workflows to do the validation. This is because I want the form to warn me before I execute a workflow (users clicks on submit button) or leave the form. Any help will be appreciated.

On a list form (classic designer on O365), I have a Button of type JavaScript and a function name on Client Click property.The JavaScript is added as a file reference (SiteAssets) and gets called if I click the Button.Inside this function I make an ajax call to retrieve list items from the same list.I get "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation" when calling the REST-Api of SharePoint-Online by ajax.I am accessing the Form with a high privileged user.So I assume that this has to do with API permissions for SharePoint Online in Azure AD regarding Nintex Forms for Office 365?  

I have created and form and nintex workflow on O365 linked to a SharePoint list. My workflow is starting but showing terminated with this error message:RequestorId: cd39d121-9fc3-1c13-0000-000000000000. Details: System.Activities.Statements.WorkflowTerminatedException: The content value must be a string at least one character in length. Can anyone help with how to fix this? 

I am trying to create a form where submitter will have a way to upload images and those images will have a url be created. The list would then be embedded into a page where the images will display.   Currently all I can add is an attachment and thumbnail/link is not shown on list.

 I have a form set up in the old responsive version. I am running Nintex for Office 365. The form suddenly developed a problem with date picker field. It no longer shows the calendar in the corner and behaves like a text field. I have a rule set up throughout the form to make some date fields mandatory if another field is populated. The rule doesn't recognise date input in the field so it is not possible to save the form. The form was working fine for over a year before it has just developed the problem when I made some changes to other areas in the form and published an updated version. Please see attached document with images showing date fields before and after the error developed.Please help!

I have created a new form connected to a sharepoint list using the responsive designer.  I am trying to hide the close button in the ribbon. Is there any possible ways to achieve? Appreciate your response! Thanks!

We are using Nintex Forms O365. We are using the Client Click function of Submit button and specify this: return validateFormSubmission() And the actual JavaScript is: function validateFormSubmission(){var formValidateMessage = validateMandatoryFormFields();if(formValidateMessage != ""){alert(formValidateMessage);return false;}else{return true;}}It throws the alert just fine; however, even if it returns false, it still pushes through in the "Saving" action. Also, it doesn't really "save" it. It is just stuck on the "Saving" screen. In Nintex Forms 2013 on-premise this is working fine. Is there a difference in how to implement in O365?

When I configure "Assign a Task" object in a workflow, then chose Edit Task Form I get an error.

We are currenty using SharePoint 2016 on-prem, Nintex 2016 and Office 365 (emails). We developed an employee availabilty calendar.  Users complete a Nintex form to request a day off, a Nintex workflow kicks off and emails the user's manager for approval and adds the employees name, absence type to the availability calendar.  Management would like this workflow to also add this information to the employee's work email (O365).  I tried using the Create Notification action to create an ics file but it did not work.  Can this action be used with Office 365?   If not, does anyone have a workflow that creates a ics file to be used with an O365 calendar?  Any help would be creatly appreciated!

hi, I have two multi select lookup controls in my Nintex form and I want the functionality that when I select the choice from first multiselect control then it will automatically select the same value to second lookup multiselect control using jQuery. Is that possible to do like this.

Nintex Workflow button is missing from the list actions and I'm unable to launch the WF designer to create a list workflow. Is there anything I have to active/restart/enable, after adding the WF app from the Sharepoint Store so that this button appears?I've also installed Nintex Forms and I do have the designer button visible in the list of actions, however the Workflow designer button is missing.

I have two lists.   Company Pool Car Request - SharePoint Online list & Nintex form DriverRecord - SharePoint Online list The first list contains 3 columns:RequestorApproverDriving Record Clear - currently set up as a list lookup in the Nintex form for the second list In the first list, the Requestor is auto populated:  [Context].[Current user display name]. The Approver is the Requestor's manager: userProfileLookup([Context].[Current user email],"Manager". I'd like to query the second list and save the data from the second list to the Driving Record Clear column. The second list contains 2 columns.  This list is managed by the Admin Assistant. Her job is to enter employee information and check to make sure their driving record is clear. EmployeeNameRecordClear When the Nintex form is launched, I would like the Requestor column to check to see if RecordClear is set to Yes or No in the second list and save the value in the Driving Record Clear for the first list.   I am not sure the

Hi All, I am trying to get the last id for the specified location with the lookup function in the new responsive Forms. I have tried the formula= max(lookup("MyList", "Location", form.location, "ID")). It says that max requires a number parameter, but even if I put convert to number before the lookup function, it does not return anything. I need to that to generate a number for every location. Thanks you in advance!

Basically, I have a Nintex Form, where based on the Status, the buttons at the bottom of the form changes. For example if the Status is "In Review" then only the Approve & reject Buttons are shown. The problem I am facing is - there is a field "Reviewer`s Notes" which must be filled before "Rejecting". So I need added validation where if Reviewers Notes is empty then Disable the Reject button. Once user has filled it up then the Reject button should be dynamically enabled. Hence I need the scripting solution and not the validation / Rules counterpart.What I have tried is usingNWF$('.nf-save-button').removeAttr("disabled", "disabled");But this is a class specifier and it is affecting all the Save buttons. I need to specifically disable the  Reject button. I have also tried to get the ID of the Reject button from the DOM use it like this. This also didnt work.Check Button ID: ListForm_formFiller_FormView_ctl90_ed7c8a8f_dbac_436c_98ae_d32e3c9a3dc6 NWF$("#ListForm_formFiller_FormView_c

How can I wrap text in a comments control? I have appended the changes so that multiple users can add notes, however the text is not wrapping within the comments control box. The horizontal scroll bar is enabled and texts runs beyond the form and across the webpage and keeps going. I’d like to use a vertical scroll bar to scroll up and down and wrap text. Any thoughts ?

I have created a Nintex form that includes 2 groups.  I would like to hide the second group until after the form data for group A has been submitted.  I have created a rule that hides the second group until all of the group A fields are filled in.  But I really want to hide the second group from the form until after the initial form submission.  I'd like a rule that works in the following condition:If data from group A has been submitted, then show group B.  

Some of our users are saying that the form is difficult to use because the fields / controls are spread out, a lot of space between them, and they have to scroll down a long way to see all the data on the form. Anyone have any top tips for maximizing the available space? This is for New Responsive Designer. Here are a few things I already did to get more controls into each row: In Styles, applied a different font (Arial) and reduced font size from 14 to 12. switched the checkbox controls to toggles. Toggles allow you to pick how the text should align, either vertical or horizontal. Vertical puts the text label on top, rather than on the side. Then I was able to add more controls per row.  The Nintex designer would not let me add more than 6 controls per row, and in some cases it would told me there was not enough room for certain combinations, so I had to swap a few controls around to allow the fit. Any other option?  Is there a way to insert a table control?

My users don't want to keep opening and closing the form and going back to the SharePoint list to select the next record. Is there a way to navigate to next/previous record directly from the Nintex365 Form? 

I tried to migrate an onpremise InfoPath form to a simplified SPO Nintex Responsive Form (~70 properties).Unfortunately the loading time is around 1 minute and if I open a second form instance sharepoint results with a throttle page. If the user changes a lookup value, it again requires 30+ seconds to update the whole form The form contains different dependencies for each control: a field may be invisible, readonly based on permissions, status, direct other controls or required lookups. I created many variables to keep control properties simple and not repeat "logic" in each control. Excerp: The RequestReasonKey variable depends on a lookup control and is using the id to retrieve data of another column of the selected option.The variable is used in a boolean IsStep1G4 and this is further used in IsStep1G4Required As given by above variables: If the user changes "Request Reason" the following fields changes visibility / readonly / required stateFurther dependencies of this cutout:- Coun
