Any insight would be appreciated! I am trying to work with conditional branching in O365. In on-prem I could select the column and the value would display the dropdown choices.  For O365, to configure the action is different.  I believe I need to query the item and store it in a collection variable.  In this case 'oral pathology'.  The problem list may contain multiple problems.The check to see if that item exists in the collection.Then I can add the output of that to the conditional branch.

Hi,I've created tabs based on the this article https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-Office-365/CREATING-TABBED-FORMS-IN-NINTEX-FORMS-FOR-OFFICE-365/td-p/83971. But I have a requirement to show one of the tabs and the related content only when the 'Form Status' is equal to a certain value. Any idea on how this can be done? Regards,KaRana

I want to get the exact time that a user signed the Signature control on Nintex Forms for Office 365 new responsive designer.  How do I do that? Previously I had a field that was set to Default value "[Context].[Current date and time]" but now our HR requested the ability for users to save a draft of the form before signing, so the user could create the form today and sign it next week.  I want the date to reflect the date of next week.  Any suggestions?

We are designing a complex Form in Nintex for Office 365 with New Resposive Designer. We whould need almost 30 groups contole to be desplayed one at a time depending on a Choice control. So, we will have a lot of groups, rules and variables. Is there any limit how many Rules, Variables or Group Controls you can have in a form. This form will realy be complicated because We would have more then 30 different looks depending on the inital selection in a choice contol.   Thanks, James  

I am developing with the Nintex New Responsive form, This form requires an approver. How can we develop it to a form where the Approvers actually approve it ON the form and NOT using the Sharepoint task management or using the Lazy approval?   I want the Approvers to probably click on a button to sign the form and complete the approval process. Is there a tutorial video that shows this is even possible? Or this has to be only on NWC?  

I am trying to create a form in the Responsive Designer with a repeating section and a total cost field. In the repeating section I have a numeric field. I would like all the numeric fields to be totaled in the total cost field.   In the responsive designer it seems this is not an option to get fields within the repeating section to sum().   Has anyone else figured out how to accomplish this?

Hi,I'm hoping someone can help me with my query. I am currently building a workflow which involves multiple statuses due to there being multiple differnent outcomes from this workflow. I am trying to configure the settings of the workflow to start the flow when an item is modified and only when the status is set to certain values.  When I enter all the values i want using "Sibling" conditions, it only includes one "Or" logical operator, and i have 11 values which i would like the workflow to trigger on (this is a big process with multiple approval processes). Will using "Sibling" conditions against "Start when an item is Modified" in the workflow settings achieve what i am setting out to do? Thanks for any assistance.   

I want to prevent deleting of any rows of a repeating section. I've seen elsewhere in the forums where people are hiding the delete button, but that isn't for O365 so I can't seem to make it translate. Is this possible?

When the form has been submitted and the workflow starts, the form can still be amended once the workflow starts, is there anyway to show the form in edit Mode only once the form has been submitted and the workflow starts?

Hi, I have a workflow that sort of functions like a help desk. On another list, I have four names of people who are assigned tickets in rotation. Let's call them A, B, C, D. For the first one that comes in, person A is up, so the workflow pulls in their name and sends them an email. 2nd - B and so on, until ticket 5 when it restarts.  I've even called Nintex for this and they couldn't do it. But I don't believe it's impossible. 

Hi, Is it possible to stop user to create more than one item using Nintex forms(Responsive) in Office 365 (Sharepoint Online)? I tried to get values for the Created By equal to Current user but the List Lookup always gives "Please select a value as default and my name" if there is an item present. I wasn't able to created a rule to check if the List Lookup has value or not. I have tried lenth() but it shows 0 for the default value Can you please let me know how to acheive this functionality? Thanks

We are designing Forms in Nintex for Office 365, with New Repsonsive Designer. The list has multiple Content Typs. The items in the list are added through PowerShell script from the premises and the Content Type is not defined at that time. When we edit list items, it is picking up the Nintex form for default Content Type Nintex and we do not have an option to select the form for the specific Content Type. Is there any way that we  can select a Form for the Content Type of our choice before the  form is displayed?   Thanks, James

Tried searching both Google and these forums for a soluton but came up short: This is in relation to the New Responsive Form designer releasing last fall... On one SharePoint site, I was able to delete my old responsive form (pre-2019 form) and then the next time I brought up the designer, it gave me the prompt with the New Responsive designer option. But on a different SharePoint site, I deleted the form, but when I exit and load back into the designer, it still gives me the old two options ("Old" responsive and Classic). It does not give me the New Responsive option. How can I get the New Responsive Option to appear on my other site like it did on my first? Thanks in advance for the help.

I see now there is a new version of Nintex Forms Designer.  I could not access it initially because of the new sites being blocked by our firewall, but after I got that resolved I saw the new designer. It has a new Signature control, which I am glad to see, but the question is, "How do I use it?"  I cannot find much documentation.  There is 1 overview video I found (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTm07OFxhpE ) but it only mentions it briefly saying it will be stored in the list or in an image library, but how?  When I open the control properties, under "Connected to" it does not allow me to connect it to anything.  I tried the "Help" button but that only opens a generic help website with no obvious way to find anything. Has anyone out there figured out how to get the signature control to save you image somewhere? 

Hello, I am trying to create a form that allows a user to raise and issue an action. I am using a repeating section to try and achieve this. The Verification (1st part) is a repeating section. I have a second repeating section embedded in this and hidden until a user selects the action button. Things seem to work ok until I try to parse the XML in Nintex Workflow, then I run into issues.. I have followed the article posted by Vadim Tabakman herehttp://vadimtabakman.com/nintex-workflow-parsing-nintex-forms-repeating-section-in-office-365.aspx But this only covers a repeating section and not an embedded one. I'm having issues with the XML itself and the WF keeps setting to suspended with the following error. "XML content is invalid. Unexpected XML declaration. the XML declaration must be the first node in the document, and no white space characters are allowed to appear before it. Line 1, position 342" I have set the flow to email me the txt variable so I can see any problems but this do

I have a collection with values Item_Coll ["US100000","US100000","US100000","US100000000","US2000000","US2000000","US30000000","US50000000"]I have another variable having B= US150000I want to get the first value that is greater than variable B within this collection.How can I get that in office 365 Nintex workflow?  

Hello Nintex Community! I was faced with a challenge of updating the Parent Document relationship column of a given document/file. The "Update List Item" and "Office 365 update items" actions failed. I discovered that it might be possible to utilize the "Call HTTP Web Service" action to perform the column update. I discovered several golden nuggets of data that helped me piece together the solution for updating a multi-selection lookup using the REST API. Solution Overview: 1. Build String - File PathWorkflow Context: List Name = name of the list or libraryCurrent Item: Name = file/document name with the extension (e.g.: QMS-Manual.docx) 2. Set Workflow Variable - Library NameReference: My workflow is dynamic and accepts input from multiple source library workflows. 3. Build String - File URLReference: In this example, my parent approval workflow approves a document and converts the file document to PDF. This workflow is looking for the converted PDF file name. 4. Build Dictionary - me

Hi All,   I would like to create a Nintex Mobile App and connect to multiple Nintex Forms, all form are also located in SharePoint Online.   Would it be possible?   Thanks!

I have a site which has an older version of the Workflow app, and I would like to update the app so that I can use the new responsive designer for task forms in a workflow I'm currently building. This site already has a list and a workflow, with multiple workflows in progress, and it's unlikely there will be a time when there aren't any workflows running on that list.Will updating the Workflow app - which in the past has always required me to remove the app and then re-add it - impact any of these running workflows, and if so, how can I work around this? Also, are there any other concerns I should be aware of? Previously I've only updated the app on new sites which haven't had workflows running.

I'm trying to extract the task acceptor name from the task comment to be able to assign the next task to the same person. From previous posts I learned that this can be accomplished by using a regular expression to extract the name from the task comment. I've tried to do this but when I do this I don't get anything. I've tested the following two regular expressions in regexr.com on the comment result and it shows it should pull the name, however when I use it in the regular expression in Ninetex o365 I get no result. I've tried ^w+[,][s]w+ and (^w+)(.?)(?=() to extract the first two words since the comment field displays as  lastname, firstname (action) 4/17/2020 10:01:58 AM - 4/17/2020 10:44:18 AM - [] :   The collection always displays [] as the result with an item count of 0 I'm using a Regular Expresson as follows: String: {variable: Task_Lev01A_Comment}       (this was saved in the task as a text variable from task comments)String Operation: extractPattern: ^w+[,][s]w+Output: Task

I have a workflow with 10 tasks and each task form was built in the Responsive Designer. A change in requirements means that for I need to re-build 2 task forms in the New Responsive Designer (I need to conditionally validate the attachments control, which I believe can be done in the New Responsive Designer). Is it OK to have some tasks built in the NRD and some in the RD, in the same workflow?Bonus question: is there a way to transform a RD form into an NRD form - i.e. so that I don't have build them from scratch?

I've got a form using o365 list lookup in SharePoint. This form works well for most users, however for some the list lookup does not load. It shows the loading symbol but can't retrieve any values. We've tried different browsers, and all sorts of permission settings, which made no difference. Any thoughts why this might work for most but not for some?

Hi all,I have an issue with a Form I have created.The first request for the Form was to create a (multiple) Panel only turns up if a User is in a specific group and the Form has a specific Status. So I have created a Rule which looks like this: or(not((fn-IsMemberOfGroup("GroupA"))),not(contains(Status,"ValueOfStatus"))) which is working fine. Then a new request turn up that there should be one group which can alway edit the panel regardless of the Status. However everything I tried to append to the existing rule it bugs my whole form with all the panels (e.g. hidden fields turns up which only should be shown if a box is ticked).I have tried something like this:or(not((fn-IsMemberOfGroup("GroupA"))),not(contains(Status,"ValueOfStatus)))|| not((fn-IsMemberOfGroup("MasterGroup")) Any help is highly appreciated

Hi,I have a problem with the Lookup function in Forms (Nintext for O365); the lookup itself is functioning (slowly) if the lookup returns a single record, but if there are multiple records matching the 'filter value', it still only returns the one record (first match). I looked at the help from within Designer, which says lookup(List Name, Filter Column Name, Filter Value, Output Column Name, Server Relative URL, Array Separator), so I added the array separator, but this didn't change anything for me (URL parameter = ""). But then I looked at the help online, and the documentation is very inconsistent and confusing, and the Lookup has different parameters in the documentation; these articles don't take "Server Relative URL" and "Array Separator" at positions 5 and 6, but they take "multiple values" and "values data type":- https://help.nintex.com/en-US/office365/Forms/ResponsiveClassicForms/ReferenceOther/LookupRuntimeFn-ref.htm- https://help.nintex.com/en-US/O365/Default.htm#cshid=307

I have 4 choices and the control is configured to use 4 columns across then down. Each radio button control renders immediately next to the text label for the previous control with no spacing.
