I have a workflow that is meant to compare dates and look for a match. Currently I convert the dates to a string as a short date so the time is not included and then i compare the values of the strings as a condition of a Run If action. The Run If is never triggered despite the strings clearly matching which you can see here as a screenshot of my wf's log. And in the log we would know if the run if was triggered by a separate entry into the log. As you can see below the two circled values clearly match. This has been driving me crazy for hours. Any idea what could be the issue here? 

Nintex for Office 365.  Form for a Sharepoint Online List. Trying to get Form Rules to work.   I am trying to use Form Rules to control the enabled (Read Only) state of various form controls.  This flat out does not work when I try to include in the rule the value of a variable is set based on a lookup function.  The value of the variable is looked up from another list.  If the value of the variable equals a certain value, then the rule should apply.   The rule works just fine when I set the variable to a literal value of "true".  However, as soon as I switch to a variable that is looked up from another list, the rule will not work, even though the value of this variable is also confirmed to be "true" (because I am displaying it on the list).   This makes me wonder whether the setting of the variable value from the list lookup is happening asynchronously in relation to the the execution of the rule, such that the variable is not getting set when the rule executes.   Is that the case?An

I have a form, with a repeating section shown below. The form will be sent to Approver 1 if any of the Markets is Argentina, Chile or Peru, and Approver 2 if any of the Markets is Colombia or Mexico. I want to validate e.g the Units Available control(s) in the Argentina, Chile and/ or Peru repeating sections when the form is with Approver 1, and likewise for Units Available control(s) in Colombia or Mexico repeating sections for Approver 2. In turn, I do not want validation on Units Available control(s) in Columbia or Mexico repeating sections when the form is with Approver 1, and vice versa.  I have put a Calculated Field in the repeating section with the formula: currentRowNumber(UnitsAvailable)-1 (this value is shown as 0, above "GVS" in the screengrab) The formula I have used for the Units Available validation (where Current Position == 2 for Approver 1, and MarketLATAM is the name of the Market control) is: isNullOrEmpty(UnitsAvailable[calcRow])&&(MarketLATAM[calcRow]=="Ar

Sorry for the newbie question but I've search and not come up with the answer yet... I have a workflows on several document libraries each which calls into a couple of Component Workflows as these have generic actions across the multiple doc libs. The component workflows have "Log to History" actions on them but they are not getting attached to the workflow history of document that initiated to list workflow. So, is there any way to get any "Log to History" actions in a Component Workflow to be recorded against the List item's workflow history? Thanks.

Hi folks,   Has anyone tried using a Web Request action to trigger an Azure Function app before? We have found that we can successfully call the function, but the workflow ends up going into a suspended state because it times out waiting for the Function app to respond (it can take up to 5 minutes to run).   Thanks!

I am working with a Modern SharePoint List on O365 that needs to include a repeating section.  I then have a Workflow that creates a task for individuals in different departments that need to fill-in the fields from the SharePoint.  I have it where it will update all the List fields from the Task Form, except for the Repeating Section.  I have a multiple line plain text field for my Repeating Section.  The issue seems to be saving that repeating section from the Task Form and if it does add XML to my plain text field, when I open up the form the repeating section values are not saved.   The bottom line is I want the user to do everything in one place (fill in the list form fields and complete the task). What is the best way to accomplish this? Thank you!

When using the Nintex List Forms Online for 0365, I am getting File Not Found after entering Content Type ID and List Name/ID.  I've also tried using the List name and I also get File Not Found. I was hoping someone could help me or show me what I am doing wrong. This is my first time using this web part and nintex forms.  

Hi,In the picture below, I would like to use javascript, or any other means to check boxes from the operating units checkbox, and have the checkbox names appear in the account number text boxes automatically.  How would this be done using javascript?  operatingunit is the name of the checkbox control.  accountnumber1, accountnumber2, accountnumber3, accountnumber4, accountnumber5, and accountnumber6 are the names of the text boxes to have the checkboxes automatically fill.  A minimum of 1 checkbox will be checked.  A maximum of 6 checkboxes can be checked.   Thank you.

Hi All, I would like Pulling distinct items into a drop down list, and store the value into a "Single line of text" field in SharePoint List. Let's say the data source list as below: ID Name Department 1 John HR 2 Johnny IT 3 Peter IT 3 Mary MKT And finally, the "Department" drop down list should only contains: "HR", "MKT", "IT" and the drop down list should allow multiple selection, alternatively, can I use check box list instead? Many thanks, Stehphen

HelloI am trying to update my form to the new responsive form nintex release but I don't the option to select it. I only see the old options. 

We just did a demo on Nintex and are considering purchasing it and plan to specifically use it for training requests, purchase requests, credit card requests, etc. If you've already got Nintex in your environment, what are your opinions on it and do you think it'll work for what we're wanting to use it for? 

I am dynamically provisioning a new Site Collection and would like to also provision a pre-built workflow/form. I notice however that each new Site Collection requires Nintex O365 to be installed from the app store each time. Is there a way to automatically do this? I found this post from 2017, which says its not possible, but I'm hoping there has been an update in this area. https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-Office-365/How-to-activate-and-deactivate-nintex-workflow-feature/td-p/16920 Thanks,Eddie

I created a workflow with one "Start a task process" action, it assigns to 2 people with separate tasks and a completion criteria of "wait for first response". While the workflow is running, I can see the 2 tasks listed in Workflow Status, then only 1 task is left after workflow completed. The disappeared task is the one who has Not Started status.  Is this by design? Where did the task go?

I am unable to create a new Shared Connection that I need to use in the 'Start Workflow' action. The screen turns unclickable but no new window comes up. The below error is shown in the console. Please advice. 

Is there any way to see why a workflow is stuck when the last task has Task Status Completed and the Internal Status is not showing an error (it just still says Activity in Progress)?

I would like to auto refresh the Nintex form page on a timely basis. I am using the below custom javascript but it is not working.Code : NWF$(document).ready(function(){location.reload();setTimeout(refreshPage, 60000);});

Data Lookup control doesn't work on SharePoint Online. I placed the control on the form and tried to configure. But, the Data source configuration doesn't give me anything at all. I thought of giving some time. It has been there since 1hr. It doesn't pull anything at all.  Can someone help me.

In the old responsive designer I can validate a textbox using a regular expression.  In the new reponsive designer I can't find anything except a text mask.  Is there a still a way to validate via regex?  Specifically I want to validate against this regex:  ^[CcPpSsVv]{1}[Pp]{1}[0-9]{9}:[0-9]{2}$  

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a way to tell Nintex or SharePoint to go to a particular URL (e.g. https://documentURL.xlsx), grab the document from that URL and save it into a SharePoint library. Has anyone ever had luck doing something like this? Would love to hear from you if so! Cheers,Scott

For the File Upload "Attach Files" control on Nintex Forms (new responsive designer), after the user attaches files that are images, is there a way to display it as image, like in a Preview window?

Tried to install Nintex Forms from the Sharepoint app store, receiving an error stating: "Sorry, something went wrong. Sorry, we can't seem to connect to the SharePoint Store. Try again in a bit." I would normaly think that this is an issue with Sharepoint, however the issue only occurs with Nintex forms, no issues with any other apps. Any advice?

Hi, I have a list on which there is a field called Manager1Email and field called NextReminderDate.If Today=NextReminderDate, a reminder email should be sent to Manager1Email.At the end the "NextReminderDate" field should be set to NextReminderDate+14days (for the next reminder).I have created a site workflow and the output is defined as "separate output per column" (and not collection, so that I can use the separate fields, such as Manager1Email).But then I'm not sure how I can go over each item to send the email. ("For Each" needs a collection variable which I don't use.)Hope you can help me with defining the workflow.I've attached a screenshot of the workflow.Thanks,Shiran

HiI'm using Nintex O365. I have a requirement where I need to send an email to different people in an organization with a link to a new form where they complete the form and submit it for their manager approval. This email needs to be sent monthly based on the dates(different dates for different deparments) defined in a SP list. The form submitter and approver are also defined in another sharepoint list based on the Division they work.  I have defined a site workflow which runs daily and checks the dates on the SP list with the current date and if there are any matching ones, I get the name of the Division and store it in a variable. Then I use that division to get the names of the submitter and approver and store them also in variables. After that I send the email to those submitters with the link to the new form.  I have defined a list workflow  which triggers once the submitter submitts the form. Now I need to get the approver name to this workflow to send the Approval task. Is ther

This is my first time on the Nintex forum and using the tool in general.I'm under a strict time line and wanted to see how challenging the following would be to build. Thanks in advance. 1. Append a string to create a unique formated ID (LMK-1234-SS)2. Apply to a variable3. Compare variable against another SharePoint list (ID List)4. Does ID exist in the "ID List"?     Yes - genearte new ID     No - write vaiable value to "ID List" I'm sure this is pretty straight forward, but any pointers on how I would do steps 3 and 4 would be appreicated. Thanks.
