Hi Guys, Can I use "UserProfileLookUp" function and find the User Business Unit?It is different from the Department.The requirement is auto-populate the User business unit. Thanks for your respond,Bahareh   

I'm brand new to forms.  I created a beautiful list in SharePoint Online and it has wonderful columns. The team wants to have a submittal form for normal folks that only show a few fields so it's not difficult to add new records.  I clicked the magical Nintex Forms button and it gave me a clean responsive form.  I deleted the extra fields and tested it.  When I got to the field that allows for multiple selections, it was just a single selection drop down list. I know now that's the normal behavior.  Specially when the help screen says "Available when no field is selected for Connected to." All of the other fields are connected to the SharePoint list columns.  I can't seem to find anyone else asking how to use this control to put a value in to a SharePoint list column when the choice control is not connected to anything.  What am I missing?  Help please.

Hi everyone. I am new to Nintex, and is my first post.   I am trying to create a form to create a record which can have multiple attachments.   One of the form fields, must be the selection of the folder where the attachments are goint to be saved.   How can i accomplish this?   More, each person must only access folders with permissions, so the dropdown must only list this folders, not all the folders.   I trie to create a document library, and the folders structure. I connected the form field with this field, but nothing appears.   Anyone can help me, please.   Thanks  

Hello,I have a custom Desktop form (all designed) and I want to customize its mobile layout.As you all know, the content is auto-generated from the desktop layout but it overlaps. I have noticed some of the controls I used in the Desktop layout are useless in the Mobile layout. I have many panels and no use for them in the Mobile Layout. Since the Mobile Layout is "inherited" from the default Desktop layout, I am scared to delete a panel and have it deleted in the Desktop Layout as well... Will that happen? Thanks! 

Hello, I've been trying to remove this blue rectangular border for a while now. I have tried everything like:.nf-section {border: none;}input {border: 0!important;}I have even tried removing it from the Advanced Settings of the control > Border. I tried changing the color as well as the size, but nothing works.  If the border:none; CSS is applied, it removes the inner blue border that you can see on the image attached to this post. Nevertheless, I have no problem with the inner border. I want to get rid of the outer rectangular border.  Anyone has any idea how I can do that?Thanks!

Hi all, I am using Nintex Form for Office 365 to create a eForm in a SharePoint List (using Classic Mode).When user open the Nintex Form from SharePoint list, it take around 10 second to only the form, even open a new form or edit existing form, then I have 3 questions about it: 1. Nintex Form for Office 365 (the SharePoint App) is Provided-hosted App?? mean there some process is running on Nintex's server?? or just a SharePoint-hosted App (running on Office 365) 2. How the improve it to reduce the loading time? Thanks! 

Hello, I have 3 SharePoint columns "Applicant Comments", Supervisor Comments "and" Requirements Management Comments " (see attachments). For questions, I have built text boxes in forms.The problem is that every time the boss or requirements management asks the applicant something, the boss's comment or requirements management is gone.I have the manager's comments connected to SharePointWhen I test it, it works and it saves the text in SharePoint and Forms, but other colleagues don't. What can be the reasons? Is this browser dependent? 

All,Our security team would like to know more about the recent changed to the O365 Update Item Permissions action. Why does it need tenant admin to provide the authorization? Earlier the action used to work with SharePoint Admin permissions. In order to stop workflows from failing we have to make this change. Please provide any details you might know. Thank you.

Hi I am attempting to set an email address text field and drop-down field base on a user choice field from the same lookup list  Scenario: there is a list called Travellers which contains Traveller Name, Emal Address, Payment Location  ETC. I need to be able to choose a traveller name from the drop-down and populate the email address field which must remain editable and set the Payment Location drop-down which shoudl also remain changeable. This is not possible using rules and I believe that JavaScript would help however although  I am familiar with JavaScript I wouldn't class myself as able to write anything even close to accomplishing this requirement. I need some pointers and assistance with JavaScript if help can be provided please? ThankaChet 

Is there still custom CSS and Javascript in new Responsive Nintex Forms coming out? We just javascript to do things like "tabbed" forms, or queries to large data sets in CSVsAnd all kinds of CSS for changing look and feel

Hello Folks,   Has anyone used a web request to get item from a list? I have had very little success with the Web Request control and I need to make another run at it. I am confused with xpath for value & xpath for display - Path for value : // XPath for display : // I want to use rest api url to get item ID.

Hi, The requirement is to approve new or modified published page under Pages library before visible to others. I am using SharePoint online o365.  I have a approval workflow set up but have few issues I am facing -1. I have start workflow settings on Created and Modified when approval Status = 2 (pending) but it doesn't start automatically for some reason. 2. I am not sure if I am using right action. I am using Start a task process for Approve and Reject.3. The email that goes out using the action above, doesn't give approve/reject buttons or anything like that and by going to the page if you approve it, workflow doesn't pick up. I am confused.. If someone has already done simple Approval workflow and can share details, would be great! Maulee

I have a SharePoint list with a Multiple Choice field that allows manual entry. How do I get Forms to add manual entries.   I created a separate Short Text Field for the user to enter the manual choice, but I cannot get that choice added to my choice field in SharePoint.

Hi All,I have a designed Item form using a repeating section which has field likeKPI ID, KPI, Measure, Target, - These fields are set as Control Mode - DisplayActual - This field is set as Auto.The repeating section is connected to a multiline field - KPIXMLI am able to modify and update the value if the Actual field and it works. I have imported the same form into a workflow Task whereas all fields are exactly the same.If I save and submit the form by editing value for the Actual field. I noticed only Actual field value is saved into KPIXML rest all XML fields become empty. Is it happening because the other fields' control mode is set to Display?I changed to Edit and it is saving values.  I want to understand why the values are saved in Item form not in Task Form?My Requirement is to keep a few fields display mode and rest field to edit mode so an approver can input values and save the form.  This is happening only with Nintex Workflow, not with Nintex Forms. Thanks 

I am having one repeating section in my form as below:I need to restrict user from entering spanish characters such as " ¶§&'><ÇüéâäàåçêëèïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜ¢£¥áíóúñѪº¿¬½¼¡«»ßµ±÷°·²¤¦§¨©®¯³´¸¹¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÇÈÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓ " on UI itself. Is there any way to achieve this?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, We have a Nintex form that assigns a task to a user once submitted. One of the users has a double barrelled surname with a hyphen (eg. Smith-Bloggs) and it will not allow us to assign the task due to the hyphen.   Has anyone worked around this?

Hello, We are trying to set a target field with the values from a Lookup Field.  Problem: Without any manipulation we get funky results such as [{"Product_x0020_Name":[{"FAMILY_SERIES":"tester-400"},{"FAMILY_SERIES":"tester-i3"}]}].  Desired Results: tester-400,tester-i3 Note: When exporting the list to excel or connecting to Tableau the Lookup field has the funky format as shown above, which is why we are looking to convert the Lookup values to "text" so it can export as "tester-400,tester-i3". Attempted to solve this problem by: using a regular expression and then setting the field value using the output from the regular expression. This works if there is only one lookup value in the field. If a user selects two values in the lookup field, the regular expression solution doesn't work - it doesn't set the value of either one on the target field/column I don't have experience with JSON or coding/scripting. We are looking for a solution via a workflow if possible. Any help or insight is

Does anyone know if its possible to access the NFFormData through the office graph api.   Is NFFormData even stored in the Users tenant/lists?

Hi there, My scenario is to check the capacity of each level of the buildings and let the staff book a day to Work From Office.For example, Level 5 has %20 capacity, and if it's full, we don't let anybody else book that level.I was thinking to create a field call capacity, and for each submission mines, the number of the capacity but how can let people know the level availability? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you,Bahareh

I am currently creating a PDF document which uses data from 1 parent list and 4 child lists.  I have approached this by using the "Query a List" action for each child list and storing the information in text workflow variables.  I am then using the "Document Generation" action to gather either the "Item Properties" for the parent list or the "Variables" from the child lists using the Document Tagger. My question is around limits.  As mentioned I am going to be using 5 separate lists and potentially 300 fields (possibly even more).  Can I create this many workflow variables and use them all in the Document Tagger?  Are there any limits that I should be aware of, before I begin?

Hi,I'm using Classic forms and I have a number of Multi Line Text boxes in a form. All of these controls are bound to SP list columns. The list columns are set to plain text as below. The client needs the option to enter new lines inside the Multi line controls as below.Is there a way to do it while keeping the SP list column as Plain Text? When I enable Rich Text or Enhanced Text in the column settings , I can enter new lines  but the control shows the formatting toolbar which takes most of the space of the control. Is there a way hide this? Regards,KaviRana

In the new responsive designer, you have the ability to set the allowed max size per file uploaded, as well as the max number of files. The highest you can set these limits is 25MB and 25 files, respectively.I tried pushing this by adding 3 large attachments (approx. 13.4MB, 12.6MB and 4.6MB) to a file upload control.When I tried to submit, the form hung on the loading screen. The data did get sent to SharePoint after a few seconds though. The workflow was also triggered even though the form was still "submitting." The form hung for like 10 minutes or so before I closed the browser. While the form data had made it, only one of the attachments was there and it was unreadable. Does anyone know if there is a "best practice" for combined amount of file sizes in one file upload control?Technically, what I uploaded was under the max limits, but clearly there were performance issues.I'd like to have a ballpark idea of the total MB to stay under, so that I can relay this to users as this form

We recently started using Nintex Forms for 0365 for SharePoint. I'm having trouble getting some validation rules to fire based on answers / selections to certain questions. We are developing a COVID-19 app for employees to fill out to see if they can / cannot return to the office once we reopen. We have a symptom checker question that asks them to check one or more of the symptoms they may be experiencing, Fever is one of them. If they check the Fever box, I want the 'What is your current temperature' field to show up and be required. Is this issue because the question is multiple select? I'm also having the same issue for the Submit rule. If the employee selects more than one symptom for either question, I want the message asking them to contact their supervisor to show up, and that's not showing up either. I've got screen shots of the rule I created that should show and require the temperature question. But I'm stumped on the Submit rule... Please help! 

Hello ! This is my first post and I am new to setting up forms and workflows in Nintex. In my o365 form I am using repeating sections. I would like to reference yes/no fields within that section to display certain fields for that instance (and conversely hide others). How does one indicate the current iteration/instance for those references? When I set up my field visibility rule I see no way for adding an index reference and i get the error: Formula return type does not match type 'boolean'. (And I see in the list of available fields that the desired field is an array of boolean) Can a rule like that be set up? 

Hello,  I am looking to create the following form (see picture). But I am a little confused as to how to create my different columns in my custom list. These are not the only columns I have, I'll also have:-the client name-their email-their nationality-their frequent flyer card number, etc.But for this specific data in the picture, which is not final (meaning we will add a few more rows probably to get the overall experience), I am unsure as to how to save it in my custom list. Thanks for the help!
