I need to make a Rule when a certain dropdown value is selected, another field becomes visible.  The dropdown is from a lookup list. However, when I go to add the rule, I only have the "is empty" or "is filled" option.  I need the "equals" option. How can I make that happen on Nintex Responsive Designer?

Hi Community / Support-Team,sometimes when I try to open a Nintex form from my sharepoint-list (the nintex-form shows the document metadata) I receive this screen in Google Chrome and nothing happens: As you can see, an error is shown @ chrome console.If I try later again, it works most of the time. What is the problem here? Any suggestions?(Nintex Forms for Office 365, App Version: NFO 2.0.1.1)Thank you!

We are using a Nintex workflow on a SharePoint Library with a Word document attached to Items.In the Workflow we want to Copy the current version to an Archive Library before entering a review cycle. What is the easiest and practical way to make that Copy SharePoint Item action happening?I have read all other posts but they are some older and not having the actions in place like we have now in the latest Nintex versions O365. Your thoughts and maybe a solution is welcome.ThanksJaap 

When working with demo.nintex.com, I want to make some minor changes to the workflow and publish it, but I can't since there's a Document Generation action that needs to be updated. When opening this existing action, it shows: "The configuration for this action was updated to reflect the latest version. To finalize this update, save the action and retag associated document templates". The "read more" points to an URL that doesn't exist: http://help.nintex.com/en-US/O365/Default.htm#cshid=1319 I don't mind reconfiguring the action, but I can't access the config that's already there, since there's no config when I open the action. Figuring out what the existing config was is time-consuming, and may not even be possible in some cases (e.g. if I have to work on an existing flow built by someone else with no documentation available). How can I access the existing config in to-be-updated actions?I tried exporting the flow, but that just results in a .nwp file that's inaccessible with tools l

I need to schedule a workflow to daily but I can't see the scheduling option in office 365.Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently migrating a SharePoint 2013 workflow to SPO. The workflow loops through a library and pulls some of the information from some documents into an email. In SP 2013, I had a query list that pulled the ID into a collection. From there, I had a For Each action that acted on the collection. There was a second Query list that pulled metadata and stored them in text variables. I then had a build string to put the variables together for each document, the email then compiles each build string. After migrating, everything seems to be working fine except the build string. There are a lot of unicode characters, obviously the inline functions don't work anymore, the new line and other common functions are gone. What I need is the variables combined with some typed text on new lines. I can't seem to find how to do this. Would I set variables somewhere rather than using the query list? I'm just not sure.

We have a form that is a candidate for multiple/nested repeating fields, as it looks like this: It has been requested that I find a way to have this be a generated document. We have Nintex Forms and Workflow for 365, and I found a similar use case:Diving a little deeper into Document GenerationBut when I look at the XML I get from these nested sections, this is what I have: reportTopic1discussion1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><ActionItem type="System.String">actionItem 1.1</ActionItem><PersonsResponsible type="System.String">people 1.1</PersonsResponsible><Deadline type="System.String">deadline 1.1</Deadline><Status type="System.String">On Hold</Status></Item><Item><ActionItem type="System.String">actionItem 1.2</ActionItem><PersonsResponsible type="System.String">people 1.2</PersonsResponsible><Deadline type="System.String"&

Folks, Since inline functions is not available in Office 365 Nintex App or Nintex Workflow Cloud (!!!!) am pulling my hair out trying to understand how to convert any string from Uppercase to Lowercase, and then remove a symbol like a full stop (.) in a Nintex O365 workflow. If this was on-prem Nintex, I would be able to use the inline function fn-ToLower... Anyway. am guessing that I would have to use Regular Expression to at the very least carry out the conversion. I've tried using regex with no success. Can someone please explain the configuration of Regular Expression when converting a string from Uppercase to Lowercase? Example is this: THIS IS A TEST STRING 1.2.3.4 In Mostly UpperCASE to this: thisisateststring1234inmostlyuppercase Thanks G

We have a user in our company trying to build a form rule using the New Responsive Form builder.  The rule he is trying to build is something I use often on the "Old" Responsive Form builder, so I know it works there.  Usually I associate the rule to a panel and make the panel hidden to only those people in a particular SharePoint permission group: not(fn-IsMemberOfGroup("PERMISSION_GROUP_NAME")) Anyone have any thoughts on how to do the same with the New Responsive Forms?  

The O365 upload file action works but in the content if we use workflow variables.it neglects the content and throws the exception " This file is empty and needs content to be uploaded. " Has anyone found a workarounf for that

Hi guys,I have tried the search but with no success. I am using the new responsive designer. The screenshot shows exact the opposite of what I want to achieve. Essentially it is a multiple choice situation that is solved in this case by using multiple list lookups. When the second list lookup is used I would like to filter the choice of the first list lookup.What I am missing is a "not" option when I switch off "Show all list items" I simply want to filter the choice that has been made one step before so that values can not be duplicated. The filter in the screenshot work perfectly the other way around, showing only the item form the last list lookup.Any help appreciated,KR,Niran

With SharePoint Online, there is a threshold limit of 5000 items per view, once you go over, you get an error in the view. I was wondering if nintex forms have the same effect? Also, I have found that if you use a modern list and index the columns it lets you go over the 5000 limit. I have only used nintex forms with classic view. Should I be using them in the modern view?If I want to archive to another location to stay under the 5000 limit, is there something special that needs to be done with the nintex form?Any advice on how to build nintex forms on lists that will support more than 5000 items will be greatly appreciated and what I should do with my current classic lists that may hit the limit.Thanks!

I am using Nintex for office 365 to create component workflow and use HTTP API call to trigger the workflow. The data below will be transferred to workflow when we implement the API call, how can we get the workflow variable from below instance start data? Thanks.    {    "tenantId": {        "entityType": "TENANT",        "id": "464a6ca0-6fe4-11e9-a022-17093da0953d"    },    "type": "High Temp Alarm",    "originator": {        "entityType": "DEVICE",        "id": "a75bdac0-4634-11ea-b164-1ba777a71e90"    },    "severity": "CRITICAL",    "status": "ACTIVE_UNACK",    "startTs": 1581674889099,    "endTs": 1581674889099,    "ackTs": 0,    "clearTs": 0,    "details": {},    "propagate": true,    "id": {        "entityType": "ALARM",        "id": "e6a7b3d0-4f11-11ea-b164-1ba777a71e90"    },    "createdTime": 1581674889101,    "name": "High Temp Alarm"} As you can see, all data are not under the class "startData", how can we retrieve above data and then configure it as variable? Thank you.

Im trying to use a Nintex Call HTTP web service to update a html file in a document library. Per Microsofts https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/working-with-folders-and-files-with-rest im using url: http://site url/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Folder Name/file name')/$valuemethod: POSTbody: "Contents of file."Headers: Authorization: "Bearer " + accessTokenX-RequestDigest: form digest valueX-HTTP-Method:"PUT"content-length:length of post body The request is working however I am having an issue with the format of the request body. In the request body I simply need to pass in the raw html and nothing else. However due to the Call HTTP web service "request content" only accepting dictionary values I am having difficulty doing this. This is what is getting put into the file after the request   All I want the requst to put in there is Hello World.

how to get previous value of a list item in Nintex workflow?

This is a total long shot, but here goes.My (old) responsive form has a single line text box where the name of 'the person making the complaint' needs to be entered.  These are not people internal to our company, so I can't use a 'people field' here.  The group wants to enforce a "Last name, First name" format, but does not want to have a seperate field for inputting a Last Name and a First Name (go figure!).  I've pretty much told them I cannot enforce that type of formatting (to get myself off the hook), but figured I would throw it out here and see if anyone has suggestions.Note: I can not use any custom coding, so I'm hoping for solutions either using RegEx or rules, etc.   (Don't you hate it when someone wants something but they are not willing to work with you to get it??)

I have a form where the Title field is calculated from a formula. I've done this before and thought it would be easy, but I was so wrong.  I want the Formula to be IDLastName02122020which is[Context].[Item ID] + userProfileLookup([Context].[Item Created by Display name],"LastName") + formatDate([Context].[Item Created],"MMddyyyy")But it does not populate. I tried with just one element - ID, and still, I get an empty field.  Any idea. Attaching a screenshot of ID Formula@EuanGamble any idea?

We have numerous Nintex forms in use on a SP online site.  Each works great, other then a form for one list that has nearly the same URL as another list.  The only similarity of the 2 lists is the URL, the difference between them is a "1". We have found 2 occasions of Nintex pulling up the edit form for the opposite list.  To resolve, we republish the form on the list that has the issue and all works fine for a bit. Is the nearly idential URL causing this?  It would seem Nintex would take into account other things such as the List ID when pulling up a form. Thank you!

Hi All,    I am working on a requirement where user would assign a task to an individual who is part of a Azure AD group say in Executives. Client doesn't want to create a SharePoint group to pick user from there. When I am associating AD group with people picker task is assign to all the users, same with "participants". Is there a way to get a user from that group ? May be saving them in a drop down field or in a list? I am using Nintex o365 Forms and Workflow. Please advise.Thanks,Rahlu

Anyone who has link to the task form able to approve/reject the approval. Forwarded the approval email to my colleague and he is able to approve eventhough the task is not assigned to him and Task Comments field in 'Assign a Task' is storing the comments with the assigned approver name instead who approved the item.  Is this default behaviour in Office 365 or an issue? 

I have an action Wait for item update used in On Premise workflow, but I cannot find any similar action for SharePoint Online. I have tried with Wait for Field Change in Current Item available, but this action only matches with condition equals but I need to check the condition as not equal to. So do we have any fix for this action.

How to copy a workflow with a connection in the connection manager from one Site Collection to another using PowerShell?

Hi,  I'm trying to do something I had hoped would be simple but that I can't get to work on mobile.  I'm using nintex for O365. The use case is to do with compliance on site where the initial form will include pictures being taken, and the task form to include the pictures visible so the manager can approve the work done.  I'm trying to get the picture attachements from an item to be displayed on the task form. My workflow:Populate an item field with the url of the attachment Populate an item field with the url of the picture with <img src="URL">  Upload the picture attachment in a document librairy on the same site and populate an item field with the url of the uploaded file I've tried using the new responsive forms and the non responsive forms and the best I can get to is the image being displayed on a desktop but no luck with mobile. Both via a custom app and the generic nintex app. i've tried using the image control, a calculated value, a page viewer, a label, and rich text.
