Hello Using the old responsive designer and the calculated control it was easy to create a link using the formula section "<a href=""somewebsite.asp?ECR_Number=" + {ItemProperty:ECR_x0020__x0023_} + """ target=""_blank"" > Open </a>" I see the new responsive form designer has removed the calculated control and users can create a label, add a variable and paste the above in. "<a href=""somewebsite.asp?ECR_Number=" + {ItemProperty:ECR_x0020__x0023_} + """ target=""_blank"" > Open </a>" This results in a label that doesn't format into a hyperlink? I have reverted back to the old designer. Am i missing something? Regards Geoff   

Hi, I have a Start Date/Time and and End Date/Time on a form.   I would like to validate that the Start and End Time are within business hours (i.e. 9am - 5pm).    Does anyone know how I would do that?   Thanks!Date/Time

I have been following this blog post:  https://www.devfacto.com/blog/nintex-workflow-get-users-from-azure-active-directory-group/ .  However, the workflow runs successfully however, when I view the data for the users, there is no user data in it at all.  There are users assigned to the group.  In the end, what I am trying to accomplish is to be able to collect birthdates and work anniversaries for company employees and be able to post them on our SharePoint frontpage for M365.  Any ideas or suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

I am trying to assign a task to a person stored in a "Person or Group" column in a list based on a value in another column in that list, and can't figure out how to do that or find any examples online.  I have a "Query List" that looks up the person, the "Get Item from Collection" that's supposed to get the person from the List Variable that was filled in the "Query List", because apparently you can't do that in one step anymore like you could in the previous version, but I keep getting various errors, like the one below. When I select the Person column in the "Query List", I am forced to pick a field (which wasn't the case before), and I think part of the problem is I don't know which field to choose, since I need the "whole" person, but I tried a few, and keep getting errors. I have also tried using text variable instead of a person in the "Get Item from Collection", but that didn't work either. The query to field 'OData__x0076_cu4' is not valid. The $select query string must specify

hello everyone I'm using the docgen action to attach a pdf to a list item, works fine first time round but If i do it again I get an error. RequestorId: a873ce8f-d5b8-71cf-0000-000000000000. Details: Document Generation error: Processing error. Failed to save output 'K1P-M2CFNMS - CO12660611 - 6.pdf'. I can get it to run again by removing the attachment from the list.I have the overwrite checkbox ticked. I even created an index to to tag onto the filename to ensure each time the workflow is run the number increments by one and we have an unique filename. This is why we have "-6" tagged onto the end of the filename. Any ideas? Thanks Geoff

Hi,  I am trying to create a workflow that uses logic based on the results of a choice-multiple. What I want to know is if the output of a choice-multiple is a string or collection? If it is a collection can I just use the check if collection contains function? If it does output as a string is there a way of setting up the workflow so that if "option one" is selected then...  Thanks  

I have a Responsive Designer form which has:a choice column "Event Type" a repeating section which contains: a choice column "Execution Method" a field "Promo Code"  The field Promo Code should only show if a particular choice is made both in the Event Type column and the Execution Method column. I wrote a rule to effect this (Hide if EventType!="Product Promotion"||ExecutionMethod!="Promo Code") - but I couldn't get it to work: if I selected Event Type/ Product Promotion and Execution Method/ Promo Code (to reveal the Promo Code field), and then changed the Event Type to something else, the Promo Code field didn't hide.I played around with the form and ended up moving the Execution Method into a variable - VARExecutionMethod - and returned that variable in a Calculated Value, which showed me that in a repeating section the values in a choice column are returned with brackets, so I changed the formula to (Hide if EventType!="Product Promotion"||VARExecutionMethod!="[Promo Code]") and

Hi,We keep getting the error "Error - Cannot use Nintex Forms for content type : Event" when I try to open the nintex in design mode. Due to this I am unable to edit calendar app using nintex.  Please help us how to do this and any workaround.

I am trying to create a tab like feature using dropdownlist. When I change the option on dropdown, I show/hide groups. This feature is working on new and edit form but the dropdown choice is disabled on display form. I tried using read only based on form Mode, but it does not help. I did not see an option to set the control in edit mode even for display form in new responsive designer. The same thing works on responsive designer though.   Thank you for the help.

Hello Community, I have a Nintex task form for that reads data from multiline text field but it has data in xml form. Whereas I need in a tabular form. Can someone suggest a way to achieve this?  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><listItemdescription type="System.String">Desc</listItemdescription><listItemNumber type="System.String">Desc</listItemNumber><listSAPInventoryNumber type="System.String">Desc</listSAPInventoryNumber><listRegulatoryBatchCode type="System.String">123</listRegulatoryBatchCode><listQty type="System.String">12</listQty><listUOM type="System.String">ea</listUOM><listLoc type="System.String">12</listLoc><listValueAtStandardCost type="System.String">3001</listValueAtStandardCost></Item></Items></RepeaterData>

How can I select multiple controls on a form to move them around, especially to other pages? I have some content types with 30/40 controls and I need to move a lot of them inside groups and to other pages, and doing this one at a time takes a lot of time. I read one post about doing this with the CTRL key but that does not work, nor does SHIFT so is there some other option I am missing as I can't believe this isn't an option?! I can delete them from the main page, then re-add them again from the side menu but then they all get this "Title 1" so I then have to go back and edit every title, so again not very efficient!

I am using the standard option to insert a Current Item URL but the URL isn't presented thus not working correctly. Is this a bug in Nintex ? The url looks like this: https:[domain]/sites/sitename/Lists/Factory Documents/DispForm.aspx?ID=123So it looks like broken in between Factory and the wording Documents.How can this be solved please ?

I've been building forms in the New Responsive designer for months.  Once you get above the most basic complexity with show/hide rules, the Preview tab ceases to work properly.  I'm forced to publish and test in production because the Preview tab doesn't reflect the correct operation of show/hide rules (and maybe other rules, I wouldn't know because I can't use the thing). It's very frustrating because I love the Responsive designer otherwise and would love to not have to test my forms in production. If the previewer doesn't reflect reality 100% of the time, it's totally worthless because I can't tell if it's an issue with my rule or the previewer and I have to publish in order to find out.

I have a workflow which creates a Document (Excel) in a Document List and then sends an email to a list of users in a Distribution group. When testing the process I managed to complete the workflow without a hitch. However during our UAT phase the users cannot complete the process.At first I thought it was linked to the Document Generation action but it looks like the SendEmail action may be the cause instead - see attachment. The Document Generation may also be the cause as no documents are generated by the workflow. Has anyone come across this issue before? If so, how did you resolve it?

Hello everybody,I have a single text box where the phone number is written. There should also be a "+" in front of the number. With my rule in the text box, I only get that there are 2 + (see screenshot). How is that possible? Only with the userprofilelookup "workphone" I get the number without a plus.

I have a new universal form field that fills in a date when a different boxed is checked. That part works fine. The problem is that the date is updating each time we open the form, and messing with our audit trail. Anyone around today that can help?

I want to create a nintex form with excel as an attachment. In the next form the attachment should get open, update and save the updated one. At present when i try to open the excel attachment i need to go to original form and then save.

We have a requirement to create some SharePoint groups in sites immediately after site creation and apply those to lists and libraries within the new site with various permissions.Is there a way in Nintex for Office 365 that we can create the groups and then apply those groups to lists and libraries with the appropriate permissions?

Hi - super new to Nintex and tasked with migrating workflows from SP2013 to O365. We have a Nintex workflow that sets individual permissions on an item for each user in a SharePoint group listed under Site permissions, then removes the permissions for anyone in the "deny" field for the item.  The old workflow grabbed the users from the group and created a collection to loop through, setting permissions for the selected user. We are using ShareGate Desktop to migrate the workflows. The web service actions used to get the users from the groups is no longer supported. Can anyone explain how I can set the permissions of a group of users individually? I have been scouring but unable to find anything related except a dead-end link. Thanks in advance!  

I have a calculated value control that is reading in 3 columns from a sharepoint list and displaying it in one form control.(Classic 365 Forms layout).I would like to display these 3 strings on 3 separate lines. Currently, I can only concatenate these. I do not want or need to save this data out into SharePoint columns. the 'New Line' function in the formula builder for calculated value controls looks promising, but I cannot find any way of using it here, and no reference to its being used in forms.The current formula is as follows:And the result is currently as follows. I have 9 of these controls on my form, so I would rather not separate them out into 3 controls each.(I only intend this data to be read in New Mode, and not to be refreshed/reloaded). I would be very grateful if someone knows how this can be done.

Hello, i want to use the "Web Request Control" in Nintex Forms. I make a query to the Graph API and for this I need an access token. This access token has to be ideally dynamic.Can I make the access token to the GraphAPI in the ServiceURL dynamic or how do I make it possible to use a variable in the request header? With a hard coded access token it will work, but my access token will expire. Any thoughts on this? Many thanks in advanceRegards, Andre
