I'd like to be able to format Group headers and Repeating Section headers the same. As far as I can tell, this is not possible in the current in the New Responsive Designer.  Am I missing the settings somewhere to adjust these background colors? If not, does anyone know of a way to inject CSS into these?  

I have a SharePoint list, that has multiple project manager names and they have multiple projects. I have to create a workflow that will show send mail to all project managers and list out all the projects that are assigned to them. I am enclosing the steps that I have done to send mail to single manager, can somebody help me to add steps that will loop through all managers and send mail to them with their project names listed. Currently in query list, I am using only one manager at a time.      

Hello all, I need to create a workflow from my team that will need to filter two different SPO Lists (List A and List B), compare the filtered items, and then trigger and email and update a list item. In List A - I want to pull all IDs of items that are in a status of 'pending review'In List B - I want to pull all IDs of items that are in a status of 'awaiting reviewer response" Then I need to compare the IDs. If the items awaiting reviewer response have matching IDs with pending reviews, I want the workflow to stop (YES condition). If the items awaiting reviewer response do not have matching IDs (NO condition), I want an email to send and List A to update and item. I know how to set up the email + update list item triggers, but I am struggling to set up the filtering of lists and comparison. Would appreciate any insight or help! Thanks  

Hey guys! I have a challenging task on my hands and I can't find resources about it anywhere. You are my only hope. Here's the task: I have an approval workflow for the company's contracts and I made its coversheet by using SSRS (basic stuff: who approved when, etc) filtered by the document's Title for the moment (I fancy the idea of switching to the internal ID). I need to make the SQL Server Reporting Services Report generate automatically in the workflow (using the "Title" field as the parameter with which to filter) and get it sent to the printer. Any ideas?

I would need to build a form that displays all the items in a SharePoint list based on selected criteria.  If the selected criteria has N number of items in list then all those items have to be displayed in the form.   Example: List A has Employee ID, Name, Age and in form if user selects Age is greater than 45 then all employee ID, Name, Age who are above 45 should be displayed in the form.   Can this done only with Nintex form or should i even use Nintex workflow. Looking for a detail steps as i'm new to Nintex.  

How can I enable spell checking on rich text input fields when using either the Nintex classic or Nintex responsive forms in O365?

Using the New Responsive Designer in Nintex for Office 365, I need to create a submit rule that will check if "Max Age" is greater than "Min Age" for each row in a repeating section (and throw a validation error if not). I am able to create this rule in the old responsive designer (see "nintex-old-responsive-designer.jpg") but I cannot seem to set the rule up in the new responsive designer as the closest I can get is to select the "minAge" via the form tab in the formula selector, but the dialog implies that this returns the entire array of values rather than the value of the field in the current row (see "nintex-new-responsive-designer-rules.jpg") and hence complains that the "formula return type does not match type 'number'). Out of curiosity, I checked the new repeating section control in NWC and found that it has implemented a "current row" selector in the forms controls (see "nwc-currentrow-selector.jpg") and that makes the rule work as expected (see "nwc-validation.jpg"). So my q

Hey there,I am trying to get the text value from a lookup field (this is looking up another SharePoint list) without the special characters in the value.I used a calculated field to get the value from the Project Name field however I don't want the 1;# special characters in the value that I want to write to the SharePoint list.Is there a way I can remove these values, preferably within the form, or within a workflow?Below is the value I am dealing with.Appreciate the assistance on this.  

I have a form that, when submitted, has a "Connected to value" of 1 tied to a single text column. So the form should submit and save '1' to the column. My workflow then will start conditionally if the column's value is '1'. Except the workflow's condition does not work. I have tried using different values and changing the column to different accepted column types, but nothing seems to work.  How can I start the workflow only if the connected to value is set to a specific value? It's almost as if the form is not saving the value quick enough before the workflow condition is checked (just a theory though).

HiStruggling with the validation rules and using to fields to Validate.Both conditions when true - field required. Form breakdownControl  A - Choice Drop down control (used for filtering a large list over 4000 entries)Values are  0-9,A-D,E-H,I-M,N-Q,R-U,V-Z Control B - Lookup controlif Control A choice is '0-9', this control is visible (working). It should also be invalid if '0-9' is selected AND isNullOrEmpty. Separately the following rules work: IsNullOrEmpty({Self}) - control B requiredContains(Control A, "0-9") - Control B required I have tried the following formulas on control B:isNullOrEmpty({Self}) && contains(Control A, "0-9") - Does not make Control B requiredand(isNullOrEmpty({Self}), contains(Control A, "0-9")) - Does not make Control B required I know it must be something basic I have missed but I struggling at this one.Thoughts anyone ?ThanksRob 

Dear Nintex Community Wanted to check what is the best way to implement this. Scenario below: SharePoint List has this entry where a project manager has tagged Ana for the given date range.  Emp. Name Billed From Billed To Ana 07-Jan-20 31-Mar-20  Lets say if another PM opens Nintex Form and tags Ana from 15th Feb to 30th March, the form should alert the PM (before submitting) that it is not possible as Ana is already billed during the given date range. Appreciate your time and advise. Thanks! 

I have a task form with a few lookup fields. I have a rule set up that dictates whether the fields are read only or not. This works fine - the fields are disabled/enabled appropriately when I tell it. However, when the rule enables the field, no values show up in the dropdown.    If I remove the rules entirely and let the field be enabled all the time, the values show up again in the dropdown. Why is it when I apply read-only rules do my lookup dropdown values not appear?

We have created a standard SharePoint list with several columns. We have a Category column as well, defined as a Choice column, and set to allow multiple selections. When creating a new Nintex Form for this list, the Category column appears only as a single select column in the form, and not allowing for multiple selections. Am I missing something here, or is this a limitation in Nintex Forms for Office 365?Please advise.Kind Regards, Frank-Ove 

Nintex O365 workflow is not triggering sporadically when an item is created.  For most of the items it's triggering whereas at times it's failing to trigger.  There is no condition set to trigger the workflow.  Everyday more than 2000 items will be added in a list but for 6 to 10 items the workflow failing to start randomly.  I figured out the reason by adding history log. I also spent time in observing workflow health but I see workflow is neither suspended nor terminated. It appears like the workflow is not triggering sporadically.  I tried testing with the same data but no issue observed with the data as it worked while testing it.  Can you please assist to get this fixed.

Hi All,   I have a workflow that runs on a list. When it runs, it creates a document set in a (separate) library. However, the document set that is created uses a folder icon instead of the doc set icon.   Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to fix this?   I tried creating an item first, and then updating it to be a document set, but that just makes it a document in the end.   Thanks!

Hey all, I've been trying to figure out how to hide or collapse the rich-text ribbon in a multi-line text field in the Nintex forms. Or, at the very least, have it hidden until a user clicks into the field since it really clutters up the page. I feel like someone else must have done this at some point. To clarify, we do want the rich-text functionality, hence why we don't want to just make it a plain-text box. We're just looking to clean up the look a bit by hiding the format ribbon until it's needed. Thanks,-Courtney

Hi,I've been searching theses forums, googling the internet and trying a number of possibilities using the Nintex product to set a default value for example the current user that is logged on, or the current date in a read only field. How can I do this using the new responsive designer ?I have created a new list that only has a title(1) Added a short entry field, not connected to a sharepoint column. There is a default value entry field, but this does nothing ?(2) Added different variations on the same rules to have this field on my form set, as well with the current user display name as with the current date.The goal is to have this field filled in when my form opens I must be missing something, but I'm not able to find a solution to this basic question. Any ideas ? Thank you,Marc 

Using Nintex Online we would like to update a field of type HyperLink, of  an item using the O365 Update Item action.We would like the option to pass the url (Web address) value and the Description to have a user friendly looking url in our Hyperlink field.Does anyone has an example on how to achieve this with the Fields to Update options Builder and XML for this action?Which syntax should be used? 

Currently running a PowerShell script on SharePoint 2013 to periodically copy a libraries contents to a file share. These are instructions for a disaster recovery scenario that need to be accessible at all times, so we have a copy in a couple of online repositories as well in local storage.   Migrating to O365, we need to recreate this process. We know we can use a local sync to individual user machines, but we need a central location that is definitely up to date (many local syncs run the chances of individuals having out of date copies, which is unfavourable).   Has anyone done this before in O365? We have Nintex copying to some repositories and would like to know if there is a way to copy to a network drive. Any suggestions for other methods if Nintex does not support this also welcome.

Hello,   I am using Nintex Task form to approve/reject the workflow. I was able to show Item properties along with Task fields but I am not able to show attachments associated with the Item that triggered the workflow.

Hi All,I'm having a SPO list with many fields in it. I have created the form with Nintex for O365 and while testing it, I'm not able to submit the item. While I did some googling about the issue - I have been asked to check if my lookup columns are connected to columns. But still facing the below issue. "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only." I found a similar post and haven't been answered. Hence posting again.

Dear, Since a few days, one of our workflow doesn't start automatically. No error, no message ... When publishing the workflow, I get the following message :"Error publishing workflow. Workflow XAML failed validation due to the following errors: The total size of the activity XAML including the referenced XAML is greater than the maximum allowed size of 102400 KB. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: 06cb7e38-c08b-4ef8-a534-1b9c2f3e44d5. NodeId: . Scope: . Client ActivityId : 06137d9f-502b-2000-55c7-9a94f9032fca. The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." I checked on the forum and found that it's due to the workflow complexity. Well ... Ok, but can you explain me what had change ?This workflow has been used during 1 year. Last change has been made in January 2020 and it run correctly till August 2020.Now, without any change on our side, the workflow is suddenly too complex. Any ideas ? Regards,Nicolas

Our business requirements to set a unique serial number for the newly created item in the list, so in order to do that I created a workflow to update the item custom serial number list, however, this workflow has only 2 actions, not more, whereas it takes much time to startup and updates the list item, so the results are many duplicated items with the same name. even we need to figure out the best way to make the workflow running faster.  Does anybody have recommendations for this issue? Thanks

I have a single line of text field that I have set to be centered aligned. On form DisplayMode, the text is not centered, but left aligned. When in form EditMode, the text is centered aligned. I have the control on auto, so it's not specific to display or edit. I created the exact form for on-prem Nintex and I didn't get this issue, but happens on Nintex for Office 365. Please help.
