Hi Everyone, I'm having issues with my cascading Nintex dropdowns that load from a SharePoint List.  It gets stuck on loading and sometimes takes up to 5 mins to load.   It's happening differently for different users.  Has anyone had this issue? Thanks,John

Hello,I have a scenario that I am not sure how to handle.I am using Nintex 365 New Responsive forms/workflow to replace a legacy form.  I have a list where each item has 11 elements.  Let’s call the columns Element A, Element B … Element K. The user should be able to add/attach one large (i.e. > 1 mg) document for each element, so there will be 8 documents.  The previous/legacy form had a button for each element.  When the user clicked the button, they were able to navigate to the document, and attach it to the form. (see image below).  I would like to present a similar functionality.It doesn’t seem like Attachments would work, because there is no way to pull up the specific document of the exact element that you want to see.    I was thinking of storing the documents in a document library and provide a link next to the element in the form, but I am not sure how that would work (i.e. how to get the URL for the document).   I do not want to rely on the user to “name” the document cor

I'm attempting to create a new Jira issue using Jira's REST API through the Nintex Web Request action. The HTML response I get asks me to "please sign in", even though I am supplying my username and password in the action configuration. My JSON is fine according to a developer on our company's Jira team as he was able to create an Issue card using his tool with it. I've read up on Jira's Basic Authentication, but I have no idea what to do with this in my workflow. The Basic Authentication and the REST API both refer to using a curl command to receive authentication. Do I need to do this somehow? Does anyone have any experience with Jira in Nintex Workflow that can assist me with this? I may need some hand holding so I appreciate your time and patience in advance.

I would like to create a rule for a control to be visible based on the person who created the item. ie if the person who created the item is Person A or Person B then the control is visible, otherwise the control is not visible.    WHat is the correct syntax for this?   Kirk

Hey there,I am trying to bring all the automation of SharePoint Online Team site builds to be within Nintex. Currently we use a blend of Nintex (for approvals) and Flow/Azure Function (for site creation, which actually just creates the Office 365 group and applying site template).I am curious to see if anyone has achieved all this within Nintex? I find it difficult to manage both environments, especially when tracing issues.What I want to bring back into Nintex is:Create the SharePoint site (Office 365 group) Apply the custom site templateHappy to be pointed in the right direction too but thought I'd reach out to the family here first.

Hi, scenario: SharePoint list form. Title field is renamed to Project ID. This field is required. In the Preview, leaving the field blank shows the validation message. But in the SharePoint list, a new item created with the form can be saved without entering the Project ID field. What am I missing? First screenshot shows preview, next screenshot is published form and SharePoint list view with empty column. 

Hi, I am trying to find a way to format text in label control in New Responsive Designer. I am trying to change font color of text in label. Apart from that, is there a way to enter custom HTML in the label control? Thanks.

Hi everyone I would like to subtract 1 day from a date field, and store the result in another date field. I want to use this in a calendar view. I tried to use a calculated value field in my list, but the calendar view does not seem to accept columns which are calculated values. So, my next bet is to do the calculation in the workflow. In my calendar view, I need the "startdate"  and the "enddate". But the end date is "Returndate" - 1. The result must be a date only value.Can someone assist me with the syntax and the type of action to use inside the workflow?

I have created a custom List with a few text fields. Then Created NIntex form for this list. The requirement is to view this list in the Calendar view with modal dialog new form. In the Calendar view Nintex form stopped working and returns error: "Invalid URL value. A URL field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again." 

I have looked through the forum, but I'm not finding an answer to my question/problem.  I am trying to get a user's manager, and I am receiving this message:  The username format is invalid.  I have granted access to the workflow in Settings > General.  I'm sure this is something simple, but I becoming frustrated.  I am attaching screenshots of the query setup and the messages I am receiving.

We have a workflow that is supposed to assign an approver and send a task email based on a value in a dropdown. The emails are pulled from a lookup list. The workflow has worked as expected nearly 100% of the time, but a handful of submissions from different users have failed to pull the email from the lookup list, either leaving it blank or throwing the error #value!. This suspends the workflow, but when I restart it, the value pulls correctly and the workflow resumes. What reasons could account for this error that happens so sporadically, and how can we prevent it? We use O365 SharePoint.

Is there an action to create M365 groups?  I have tried using the Create Site Collection action, but I am unable to get it to work.  I did have success using the same action in Nintex Cloud, but it doesn't not create a SP Online site with connected M365 group like I hoped it would. Does anyone know the best way to achieve creating M365 groups, along with all the connected pieces?

I am in the process of creating a very simple workflow that creates a site in the SharePoint Admin center automatically.  I am using the Office 365 Create Site Collection action in my workflow.  After the site has been created and appears in the SharePoint Admin Center, I want the template set to Team site (no Office 365 group) in the list of active sites.  I have tested template options in the Nintex workflow action but none create the site using the Team site (no Office 365 group) template.  I have tried the following templates that are available in the action but none are working:Team Site Project Site Team Site - SharePoint Online configuration Custom - Select template later... Every site that gets created uses the Team site (classic experience) What am I missing?  

I'm trying to connect a control to display the data found in the column of a sharepoint list. At first, the box was displaying Loading... and now it's showing Overflow. This is the formula that I am using:lookup("Tracking", "ID", ApprovedContractor, "Contractor Name") Tracking is the name of the Sharepoint List ID - (I saw this listed in other solutions) Approved Contractor: The named control Contractor Name: The column that has the info that I want from the Sharepoint list.  

I have created a connection for SharePoint Online: Site Collection Administration in the Connection Manager.  I used an account that is a global admin, and receive no errors upon saving the connection.  I added a couple of user owners.  Then I put that action in my workflow.  All runs results in an Unauthorized request for connection..., the status changes to Suspended with details of ServiceNoResponse.  Has anyone gotten this action to work?

I am in the process of updating an existing Nintex workflow to Nintex Workflow for Office 365.  There is an action in the existing workflow called "Wait for item update"  I am able to specify the column to check and have a number of options to choose from (see image below).  According to the following post, the Wait for item update action has been replaced by Wait for Field Change in Current Item.  I am having trouble configuring this action.  The column that needs to be checked has 4 possible values so I can't just list one value.  Any thoughts on how I can get this to work so it waits for the column to not be empty?  

Hi all, just to give you the context, my company is working on a 300 workflows tenant splitted into a lot of site collections.We have built a component workflows called "Copy TaskAttachments to Master Item" that copies the task attachments to the underlying item. It also update the NFFormData field to put the attachment not only in the "default" attachment components, but exactly where the attachment should be in the form (this part is not detailled in the post). It works 95% of the time ! I'm here for the 5 last % First, a few tips, if you want to do it too...Inside a component workflow, First do a POST webrequest call on {Variable:Current Site URL}‌/_api/contextinfo to retrieve the FormDigest. Retrieve names and URL of your task attachments using another GET webservice call on "{Variable:Current Site URL}‌/_api/Web/lists/getbytitle('‎‏{Variable:Workflow Tasks List Name}‌')/items(‎‏{Variable:Task Item ID}‌)/AttachmentFiles  Retrieve URLS and files and store them in some collections...

Hey there! Im stumped maybe someone has an idea..... I want to use the Nintex feature for creating a new list item to a list but use a variable to define the list. I could have as many as 36 options so a conditional statement wont work here. Is there a way to do this? The office 365 create list item doesn't work like I want it to. here The Nintex version is more what I am looking for it just doesn't let you create the item to a variable. (at least that I can tell)   

I cannot publish any forms - continually get the same error, but with different Correlation ID's  Image attached - no error details are given Any ideas? I have also tested by using a simple SharePoint list with only 2 columns 'name' (text) and 'date' (date) - still get the 'Something went wrong' error when trying to Publish Nintex Forms Office 365, SharePoint Online
