I have a large, complex form which needs to go back and forth between different approvers until everyone signs off. I figure I could either:build the workflow with a task for each approver (in a state machine), each task having: a link to the form which folks review and revise options in the task to approve or send the form back to a previous approver orbuild the workflow with emails for each approver (in a state machine), with: the email having a link to the form the form having buttons for approve or send back to a previous approver after the send email action, the workflow waits for a field update, which is updated by any button action on the form  I prefer the 2nd method because it's more user friendly than receiving a task, following a link, updating the form, returning to the task and submitting it, but I would use the 1st method if there was any possibility that waiting on a field change had any associated risk - i.e. if the workflow sat at a Wait for Field Change action for

Hi, We thought of trying New responsive form for office 365 and it looks amazing. Easy to develop.Found one major limitation for us to stop using it is with repeating section. We want our user to update repeating section data in task form. Limitation MentionedBinding a repeating section to a column and displaying on a Task Form It seems repeating section data is not at all visible in task form and It doent get saved in list column even if user updates in task form. Let me know if there is any update on it. One more issue i found about task approval, user is able to approve/reject same task again and again. Case is already created with Nintex support ThanksAnkur

I have a form with repeating sections, which allows the submitter to enter details for multiple products, and multiple markets related to those products (e.g. details for Product Name A - Argentina , Product Name A - Chile, etc.). I've managed to clean up the form XML (using the Regular Expression actions) and dump into a column, and now I'm left with a block of XML - see screengrab.What I want to do now is separate out this data to update different fields in different lists - e.g. for Product Name A, I want to create a line item in the Argentina list called, "Product Name A" and update all the appropriate #'s (e.g. Retail, Wholesale, etc.), and then do the same for the Chile list, then repeat for "Product Name B", etc.How do I go about locating and extracting just the data for a specific product in a specific market from the XML to update a specific list? 

Hello,   As per the subject I can see that Nintex Forms for Office365 does not allow the use of Content Types in a list. So we can only customise a form on a list that has no content type (just SharePoint columns).   The problem is that I am planning to develop a site template containing a few lists with their forms customised in Nintex Forms and once ready the template will be used to create many Project sites and therefore using Content Type Hub would be a great to push any new columns to the dozens of sites and their lists in a single change (the point of CT Hub).   Has anyone tried a workaround ? Nintex = Is there a roadmap to include Content Types like SharePoint on Premises ?   thanks iosman

Hello. I have a simple form with an option where the user can attach a file. What do I need to do in order to save this attachment in a folder on sharepoint? The problem sounds very simple but I tried all day to solve it and did not manage. I am using Nintex for Office 365 online. When I check the xml file NFFormData, the attachment name is there <Attach1 type="System.String">picture_123.jpg</Attach1>. But what can I do to actually upload it and put the document somewhere in a folder.Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I wanted to keep track of the time and date of user access of a nintex form. Since there is multiple user needs to access & review it and put their initials on the form. how can I do that ? 

I'm having a bunch of trouble accessing the Customer Central. Always (even after reseting my password) getting no contact or account found for this email. Currently on a Nintex Workflow I'm having the following messages:  Migration status for your tenant cannot be accessed. Please try again later.   Connection Manager is temporarily unavailable.   This action has been upgraded and now supports the new Connection manager. Create or select an existing connection in the dropdown below. Click here to learn more.   What can I do to solve this issue. What does it mean Migration Status for your tenant cannot be accessed???   Thanks, Sérgio

HI, Is there any way to add all the items is a collection without for each loop. I have a list which has 8 to 10 categories and I need to all 5 - 6 columns for each category. It means if I am using for each loop for each category and each column , I need 40 - 50 foreach loops. It is not efficient. Could you please advise me if there is any other way to do the addition of a sharepoint online list columns without foreach loop in Nintex workflow from office 365? Is there any way to add all the items in a collection in O365 Nintex

I've read a lot of the forums, but am still confused on how to add a repeating section to my O365 Nintex Form.  It is similar to an Invoice where the repeating section is Project ID/Name list and an amount field.  Should my main list form have a lookup to the Project ID/Name list and then the values of that repeating section be saved in an Line Item List? A couple of post I read were saying to use a multiple line text field to save the XML, that just confuses me more.  I feel this shouldn't be so complicated. Is there a How-To on how to create something like this?

Anyone else having issues?This isn't exactly a new issue, Query XML has always been a problem and where possible I've tried to design it out of workflows.I have a couple of workflows today, different tenants, both of which have ground to a halt without any error (status = Started) and through logging I know they are at Query XML actions.One has 6 Query XML actions to get through and is currently at 3.5 hours since reaching that point!Edit to add: my workflow just finished, 6 Query XML actions = 4 hours!

Can anyone assist with the following syntax so that after a repeating row is deleted, the dropdown change function continues to work? Highlighted for emphasis: NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {NWF$(".nf-repeater-addrow").hide();var BannerQuantityDDL = NWF$('#' + BannerQuantity);BannerQuantityDDL.change(function () {var BannerQuantityDDLVal = NWF$('#' + BannerQuantity).val(); if (BannerQuantityDDLVal == "1") { NWF$(".nf-repeater-addrow").show(); }else { if (BannerQuantityDDLVal == "" || BannerQuantityDDLVal == "2") { NWF$(".nf-repeater-addrow").hide();}};});});NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterRepeaterRowDeleted (function () {NWF$(".BannerRequirementsRepeater .nf-repeater-row:not('.nf-repeater-row-hidden')").each(function() {var BannerQuantityCurrentVal = NWF$(this).find(".BannerQuantityClass select option:selected").val(); if (BannerQuantityCurrentVal == "1") { NWF$(".nf-repeater-addrow").show();}else { if (BannerQuantityCurrentVal == "" || BannerQuantit

Hello,   This is a form where Calculated value or JavaScript is not executed when you create a new item. For instance, the Calculated Value: Total (Left bottom) is not displayed the sum of Val1 and Val2 (Field just above Total) I have found how to solve that but I want to let you know for fixing it. The root cause is either or both - The Calculated Value: CurrentUserName (just under Title) - The rule Date that is not associated anymore to a Control. To solve the issue, you need to remove at least one of them. Please note also that the Calculated Value: CurrentUserName will displayed the Current User Name only if the Date rule is removed.   thanks iosman

Hi I want to create the below table in a Nintex form but couldn't figure out a way. Tried creating the controls inside a panel but the controls won't align properly.          This is how it came out when I tried it. The table needs to have fifteen rows and  "Control Area " column has 15 different values for them. What would be the best way to do it?  

Hello everyone, I have been trying to find a post about changing the date format in Nintex forms: from the default one mm-dd-yyyy to dd-mm-yyyy. Is there any option on Forms how to do this?Thank you in advance

One of our clients has a requirement to schedule a workflow to send Forms monthly to its different departments on  specified dates and again reminding emails on another set of specified dates.  They want these department-wise dates to be maintained in a SharePoint list so that they can change them when needed and we need to use these dates to do the scheduling. Could you please advise the best way to do this?

Hi,I'm new to Nintex and I'm using Nintex for O365.I need to grant "Contribute " permission to a Sharepoint List item to a user group when a  workflow starts and revoke that permission when the workflow completes. I used the "O365 Update Item Permissions" control to grant permissions and is working fine. How can I revoke the permission from the user group?

Hello, I have a scheduled workflow (using O365 Flow/Power Automate) to output a CSV file every day for new travel bookings entered into a SharePoint Online list.  Unfortunately the client isn't happy with CSV and has asked for XLSX format. Wondering if there is a Nintex solution to convert the new CSV file generated by Flow to Excel.Thank you.

I am using Execute SQL Action in Nintex Workflow and I need to get some data from an SQL database in Azure (it is a test database at the moment). This action only allows me to get one column per query and I need more than one column to be retrieved. If I store the "Results in XML" in a collection or a dictionary variable, it always shows me the XML in an incorrect way (attached image): My properties of the SQL Action are the follow:  Does anyone know if it is possible to get all the columns at the first time in a correct format?

365 form lookup control only brings back the item limit of the view it connected to! e.g. if the list view has an item limit of 30 (default) then the lookup control in the form only brings back 30 items in the drop down. I don't recall this being the case in on-prem.  Is this by design? Because now I'll have to go back and find all list views that are being accessed by form lookup controls to make sure their item limit is set to allow all the items to come through to the lookup controls.  The All Items list doesn't seem to be affected by this. 

Hi there, I'm having an issue with a Global Expense form built using Nintex Forrms for Office 365. Expenses are calculated using a lookup from a list of currency rates which convert the cost to USD.  The Fx Rate is updated monthly and this results in the calculated value changing on all previously submitted forms and not just the current form.  I am using a repeating section to add expenses for approval as below: As you will see the    There is no copy item function in Nintex workflow for Office 365 in order to copy all approved expenses with attachments to a separate list as that would have been an option, The create item does not include attachments Hope someone can tell me if I'm missing something easy here, I've also considered using workflow to store the FX rate to a text field on each row then changing the lookup to the text field value on form approval too. CheersChet 

I have a list in which the majority of the items have file attachments.  Recently I moved from Nintex Classic forms to the New Responsive forms designer.   Any old items that had file attachments and were created with the Classic forms designer, now when I open them under the New Responsive form, the file attachments are not there (the paperclip icon still shows in the list view). Any new items that have file attachments and were created with the New Responsive form designer, work as they should and show on the form. Any fix for this?  I really don't want to have to create a workflow to call a webservice and build a string for the URL of the file attachment on these older items.

Hi all, I would like add a rich text box inside the Nintex Form, but how to allow user to upload and attach a file in the content of the rich text directly? just like the rich text box in SharePoint:              Any solution? thanks!

Hi all, I am getting this error "XML source cannot be empty." for a nintex form task process for some users. I am trying get query the XML of the form but somehow, it thinks that there's no xml for some reasons, which is weird. Only some users get this, and it is annoying since I cannot pinpoint the problem. The XML I am supposed to get is just from text box within a repeated section. I can see the form clearly and what they wrote to it but it is not being added to the multiline column I made to get the XML of that particular repeated section. Anyone can help?

I have created a new responsive form with multiple pages, but have found that I can not add a submit button to any of the first pages. It can only appear on the last page. I need a submit button as soon as I complete the details on the first page in order to start an approval process.   So I have moved all of my form controls to the first page, published then tried to delete the excess pages. But if I do this it deletes the controls that were on those pages from the first page.
