Hi, *Edit*: I am using new responsive designerI created a Tab functionality using Radio buttons and created Rules to make the fields/drop downs blank based on the selection. This was working fine few days back and today while testing, I found the drop down list is not getting blank. Below is the scenario: From Radio button (TAB Function)select: Option 1Option 1 group will be visible and user can select a value from the drop down (Choice 1) In case he selects Option 2 from the TabGroup 1 will be hidden and Group 2 will be visible and the user can select a value from this Choice 2 as well. I created a rule that if the user goes back to Option 1, the drop down value should be blank (like a new form). This was working fine but now the drop down value is keeping the old value. I am attaching the export for reference. Let me know if anyone is facing this issue.Thank you. AK 

Hi,I have a query on Nintex classic forms using JavaScript.I have to populate data to a column based on the selection of an Image using JavaScript.As shown in the above screen shot, on clicking search icon I have to populate the data(example: ABC) in 'Test' text box.I am not able to get the control reference name for the text box through developer tools to populate the date using JavaScript.In the below screenshot as highlighted in red, there is no column name reference showing that input control belongs to 'Test' column.Can you please let me know how can I figure out that input tag is pointing to Test column. Thanks,Kishore

Hi, i have a very specific problem: I am using the New Responsive Form Designer (in a Subsite) and am trying to use the lookup control to get data from a document library in the site that is above (Site above my Subsite where my Nintex Form is). That document library contains a folder (Folder on highest level). In this folder there are a lot of subfolders. Each subfolder has specific metadata that i need to get with my lookup control. I found out that SharePoint does not provide a way to create a library view that only returns subfolders in a library (by using the SharePoint Userinterface).  However, it is possible to create views that show the folder (on highest level) or all documents within my subfolders, but this doesn't help me. Through some research I found out that it is possible to create a SharePoint view that only shows subfolders that can be created through Powershell and will then be available normally within SharePoint (https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2018/08/sharepoint-on

There are several posts here about using Nintex Workflow to get data from a Nintex Form repeating section.  The trick is to create a list column of multi-line text and set your Repeating Section control's "Connected to" setting to that multi-line column, and Workflow can parse the XML output stored in that column. Well, I noticed something different in the new responsive designer.  Normally when you add a control into the repeating section, you can name the control and that name will be used in the XML output, so you can set your XPath query to //<controllname>. In the new responsive designer, the XML output uses random numbers instead of the name you gave the control.  Thus the XML looks like this, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version>1.0</Version><Items><Item><_d1c6bb8c4ea50881a5b6e43e1e6ca973 type="System.String">user input here</_d1c6bb8c4ea50881a5b6e43e1e6ca973> etc Therefore, to get the data I had to se

When I run a (list) workflow on a listitem the following occurs. The W.F action "O365 update Item Permissions" also gives the creator of the OAuth2 connection permissions on that item. Is this expected behavior? How can I prevent this?

What does "Resume this workflow" on suspended workflows do exactly? Does it retry the action the workflow was suspended on?Does it restart the whole workflow?Does it skip the action that suspended the workflow and continue on the next action? Or even something else? Thanks in advance! CheersPhilipp

On Nintex form, I have an ExaminationName control which is connected to a view in a look up list: All active Exam Names. At the end of each year, some Exam Names will be retired to inactive.  So when user goes back to old Nintex form items, Exam Name field is blank if inactive Exam name is used.  The requirement is: In Edit mode, the drop down list will display all active Exam names plus the inactive Exam name if saved (appended to the all active Exam names).  Looks like only Custom script can meet the requirement. We can scan the drop down list of active exam name to see if the saved exam name is there. If not, append the saved exam name to the Exam name drop-down list. JavaScript ID for Exam Name control is ExamName. How to get all the values in the Exam Name drop down list to add them to an array?  I started with WF$("#" + ExamName).options.length) but only return 1. The drop down list has 126 items. What is the right syntax?  var ddlArray= new Array();for (i = 0; i < WF$("#" + E

I have a form variable in Nintex Forms O365. The variable calculates the total in my repeating sections. How do I display this number as currency, with commas and decimals? The formula works and does calculate the total correctly, I just don't like the way it's displayed.I've added a screen capture of my variable. Please help! Thank you 🙂     

Hello - I am looking for a solution that would allow us to create document acknowledgment tasks for all employees or a portion of the company when needed. We would also like to have an easy way of reporting who acknowledged the document, who rejected it and who is still pending.   Once solution I used before is to get a list of all users from our HR system, convert it to a SharePoint list and then start s workflow on each individual user. That works very well but it is time consuming and requires an IT person to initiate the process.   Can this be replaced with a process where a user uploads a file to SharePoint, selects the applicable AD group and everything else happens automatically? Any other ideas how to approach it?

Are forms InPrivate Browsing or Incognito mode supported in Nintex O365? I cannot find any relevant information. We have an external user whose guest account had to be removed and recreated. A caching issue occurs in her browser and keeps pulling her old account whenever she signs in with her new guest account. She prefers not to clear her browser's cache so she signs in using InPrivate Browser for Chrome (she's also tried it in IE) and receives the error "An Error Occurred. Contact Your Site Administrator to update the app." The app is already updated and works for all other users in regular browser tabs. I also tried in IE Privat browser and it works for me.

Hello,I've reached out to Nintex support many times and have not received the help I need so I'd like to turn to the community for support.I was able to successfully add the Trial version for both 'Workflow for Office 365' and 'Nintex Forms for Office 365' to my tenant, as I can see both Apps when viewing my Site Contents and in the ribbon when in my custom list.However, BOTH icons, when clicked, are not functioning as intended!  Nintex Workflow shows an 'Oops... Something went wrong' message asking me to view the status of Nintex  Nintex Forms continually spins without stopping. It does not load after 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes... It just keeps on spinning. Is there anyone out there that has experienced this problem and found a solution? Nintex Support is not very quick and I have a deadline coming up to present to my managers.

Hi There,   I have a requirement where approval happens in phases. In the first phase the initiator submits some basic information (basically project initiation phase). The team lead would approve it. Once the approval is complete and the budget is allocated then the user can modify the form and enter more details about the project. This would initiate the 2nd approval process. This would involve the stake holders and the general managers to approve. Once the 2nd phase of approval is complete then the initiator can give monthly updates (which includes year to date spend, forecast end date etc) until the project is complete. May I get some suggestion on how I can achieve this.   Kind Regards

If I delete a workflow from the gallery, will doing so affect workflows which are already in progress?

Hey all! Need a little help here with an O365 workflow build. We are using "Start a Task Process" in the hopes of setting up an approval that needs ALL THREE of the approves to OK the item before moving on to the next stage. Problem is the workflow is APPROVING regardless if someone rejected. I've played around with state machine a bit, but am still getting an approval regardless if one person rejects. I thought about setting up a query, but am not sure if there's an easier way to do it (and not 100% sure of how to set up the query). I'm learning Nintex for O365 as I go, so any help would be incredible!!! Thank you!!! 

I need to send a form to approx. 60 users every quarter, and then track who has submitted the form and who has not. I have built a workflow on List A which loops through the users (in a lookup list) and then (1) creates a line item - per user - in List B, (2) sends an email to each user with a link to the form for their line item in List B, using the address https://...ListB/EditForm.aspx?=ID[New List Item ID]. Selecting this address opens the form correctly, but when I select "Submit" I get the below error message.What could I be doing wrong here, or is there a better approach? Unexpected error occured.Correlation ID: 57ce2c4b-b450-4902-8d8c-ff4d57c99cdcTenant ID: 62b5ee2d-032e-4868-8fc2-75cce46e1ee0Time (UTC): 2021-03-24 21:40:19

Hi Let me start by saying I'm new to Nintex and probably trying to walk before I can crawl! I'm trying to create a simple leave approval process. I have started by assigning a task to a user for the approval. This works. I also have a send an email back to the requester to advise of the approval. This works. What I cannot get to work is for the linked SharePoint Online list to update with the new status of "approved". I have tried the "update list item" and "Office 365 Update Item" actions with no success. Clearly I'm not configuring correctly. I've read many articles and cannot identify my error. Hoping someone can help me solve this one:) Thanks,Rachel

We are lately noticing that Nintex Forms in SharePoint Online (Office 365) take several minutes to load sometimes.  And these Forms are not complex with lot of fields.   Anybody else experiencing this?  Tried with Chrome and Microsoft Edge.  I have raised a ticket but was wondering if there is an optimization I am missing.

I need to increase the font size in the "view" version of a form.  This:  Becomes: Please advise. 

I have migrated Nintex form from onpremises to O365 environment. I have custom JavaScript’s includes , Custom CSS includes and custom java scripts with Nintex form.

I'd like to figure out how to extract a multi-line SharePoint field without corrupting the contents as you can see in the capture below. Bottom line, all I want to do is to copy a multi-line field from an existing item onto my new item. The results captured have been obtained by querying the source list item, placing the multi-line content into a collection-type variable, to then update the new item with it. Thanks.

At work, my job relies partly on a third-party vendor for PDF conversion. This is possible on the SharePoint on-premise version of Nintex but on O365 it's a completely different problem. We haven't been able to do this at all. Since we're not able to rely on this tech for converting to PDF in Nintex for O365, it makes it difficult for the clients we work with who want PDF copies of form submissions. It's just better to stick to Nintex for SharePoint on-premises. However, I'm hoping to find a solution that I can use here. I did some digging to determine how the list item's form is rendered. When you go to the list item URL, the resulting form is embedded in an iframe and looks to be injected with JavaScript. I don't understand the full process though. The third party I use has a REST API where I can pass in HTML to be converted. I would like to know if there is a URL I can use to get the form HTML that I can then use to convert to a target format?

Hi I'm using the New responsive designer and want to get the attachments out of a form and send them to a document library. Normally I query Form Data xml. However I can only see NFFormData. This does show the file names, however it seems to duplicate them. When I output NFFormData I get the following. There are two attachments. I can probably split out the first file name, the second is a bit more difficult. 1.0<_158Mf5eDP2 type="System.String">Test 6.txt;Test 7.txtTest 6.txtTest 7.txtAny ideas on how to do what I'm trying to do?

Maybe there's something straightforward I'm missing here, but if so I can't work it out. On a Nintex O365 list form I add a Choice - multiple control. This, as I am aware, stores data as a collection. There doesn't however appear to be any way to store that data 'as is' to a data type on a SP list. I can't connect the control directly with either a Single line of text or Multiple lines of text field. The only option I've found is to create a variable and apply a 'convertToString' function on the multiple - choice/collection variable and then use a rule to trick that variable value to write to a single line of text field I can connect to a SP list field. Only after that can I run a WF process over that to pull the collection apart. This seems like a convoluted workaround. Surely there must be a simpler way to get the values from this type of control.  

Hello,I am using Nintex O365 with a New Responsive form.  I have created a variable (varURL) that contains a url.  In a Label control, I am showing the variable as a link.  During a test, when I click on the URL a tab opens up with a blank screen.  The tab is called "Cobalt - Runtime".  Does anyone have any idea why this is happening. I have the exact same list and form structured on another site collection and it works fine. Thoughts?
