I need to run a Terminate Workflow activity but sometimes the workflow may have already been terminated or finished.  When it runs on an item that is not actively running this workflow, then it errors because there is no active instance.     Is it possible to query the active instances so that I can set up criterea for running the terminate workflows activity? Or a setting I missed in this activity that will prevent the error?

Hello All,Here we will create a multiselect dropdown which will lookup another list data.(i.e the fields value is fetching from another list and we can multiple select those values in the nintex form.Steps:Firstly we should create another list with the data to lookup in the original list. We should use RESTAPI to get the data to the drop down which is not connected to any field in the original list as shown in the code. RESTAPI code below NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterBeforeReady(function () { GetEmpName(); }); function GetEmpName() { var result; var RestUrl; var hostweburl; var appweburl; var hostweburl1; var appweburl1; var pollSP;   if(fn-Or(Is Edit Mode,Is New Mode)){ //editmode, New mode pollSP = setInterval(checkSPLoad, 500); } function checkSPLoad() { if (clientContext) { window.clearInterval(pollSP); GetActionDetails(); } } function GetActionDetails() { hostweburl1 = "List URL"; appweburl1 = decodeURIComponent(Utils.getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));   getSomethingWithR

We are using Nintex App Studio and have a requirement where staff are going out in the field and collecting data form clients. As part of that data collection we require, for legal reasons, that the client provide a signature.    How can this be done on a responsive form? Can it be done?   In Nintex Mobile you used to be able to add a multi line text box.

I want to auto populate fields( user information which is not in AD) in my form by HR data list. HR data list is in other site collection, i tried using javascript but i am getting 403 error. How to authenticate this request or any other way to achieve this?

Hello all,I am trying to hide a field on my form if the date  of my "departureDate" field is before 1/3/19 (first of march 2019.)Any help greatly appreciated. I feel that i must have tried every combo except the correct one. The idea is a text box ("BrexitWarning) appears if staff are planning to travel abroad after this date  

How do I format a datetime in a 0365 workflow.I tried the:fn-FormatDate({Current Item:MyDate}‍, "yyMMdd")But that just outputs:  fn-FormatDate(6/1/2019 3:45:00 PM, "yyMMdd") I know there are the insert options to select ISOFormatted, Long/Short Date/Time but none of those work for the format I need.   ISO is the closest, but since it returns the value in GMT the date/time can appear to be off to users (since they don't expect GMT) As an added wrinkle I need it in 24hr time. Any suggestions?   

My company recently migrated to SharePoint Online and I'm working on updating my Nintex on-prem workflows to work in Nintex O365.  I have a simple workflow where I'm trying to user the Office 365 Query User Profile action to get a persons First and Last Name.  However I can't figure out how to get this thing to work, and I believe the problem is with the connection that I have to setup for the action. I created a Site & user administration connection and am using my company email as the Username, which based on this article seems to be what I need to do.  However every time I run the workflow I get the error, "The username is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the username specified."  The Intenral Status field value is "Suspended", and when I click the info icon this is the message I see. The credentials I'm using in the connection are my own, and I'm logged in with the same account.  I'm a site collection admin for the site, and also validated that I'm list

Hi  I am executing stored procedure using Eexecute SQL action in Nintex online. how do i get the return value from stored procedure.   

I have created a LIST with several columns, four of them are person type (Initiator, Reviewer, Validator and Approver). When the initiator adds a new item in the list, it automatically starts running a workflow in the list and creates a document in a LIBRARY with "Document Generation". The document is created without any problem in the library, but in this library I have the same four columns (Initiator, Reviewer, Validator and Approver) and when creating the document the data that has been filled in the list is not completed. <<I would like to fill these four columns of the library with the same values that are in the list>> I tried to take the ID of the item in the list to compare it with the ID of the document created in the library, as well as with the GUID and then make a "Set (or) Update List Item" in the library and in no case do the identifiers match :( Please, does anyone have any idea how to do this?Please can you help me? @vadim_tabakman , @SamSysum , @DocGenVinn

Hi O365 team.  Does anyone know if it's possible to set a workflow status from another workflow?   Scenario:WF 1: State machine Approval Request WFWF 2: Separate Withdraw Request WFThe associated form contains separate buttons to activate each WF: Save and Submit button activates WF1; Withdraw button activates WF2.  WF2 contains an action to set its own final status to Withdrawn.  WF2 also terminates WF1 but does not contain behaviour to set WF1 status to Withdrawn - WF1 status, though terminated, remains wherever it was in the approval loop when the user clicked the Withdraw button. Users are becoming confused because even after WF2 informs them that their request has been withdrawn, WF1 status still shows the process in review (Supervisor Review, Fiscal Review - wherever it last stopped). Screen shot below.  Any ideas?  Many thanks, everyone! 

Hello, I have 2 lists on SharePoint online (List A and B). i am trying to use the action "Start Workflow" on list A, so once i create an item on List A it should trigger the workflow on List B for a specific item. I am getting an error saying "Item does not exist...." I already used the ID and GUID but same error. please find attached screenshots. can you please advise what is wrong here on this action? note: there is no place to mention the list name, i.e. destination list name which is "List B"... I need an answer please urgently! thanks a lot! RegEyad 

I get the below screen, but when I click on upgrade app, its not updating 

I am working on a Nintex Form in Office 365 and want to open a modal window from a link within the form to be able to add documents to a document library. We are doing this because the form has multiple sections and the simple attachments field was not robust enough for our needs. I have the modal working in my site from a SP page, but when I implement the same code within my form I get this error: Uncaught TypeError: SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions is not a function I tried adding the SP.js file to my form, but this did not fix it. I'm assuming it's because I'm not actually in SP anymore when I'm in the form so I can't use functions from it. Here is the javscript I'm running to open the dialog: //Dialog Opening -- Document Uploadsfunction OpenDocumentDialog(refID, sectionName, modalTitle) {console.log("createDialog");var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions(); <-- where my script errors outoptions.url = "[mysiteURL]/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List=%7BB18DF216-5909-4DC1-90C6-8F4305C86F90%7D&

We've built a request form.  These is a status section (that workflows are triggered by) with the dropdown choices:  New Request, Request Submitted, Returned Request, Approved, Request Rejected, Request Evaluated, etc.  Within the form we have the standard save and submit button.  The Request Rejected has another button:  Resubmit.  (when the rejected request is approved, the resubmit button should set it to the default stage of Request Submitted.  In the control setting I set up the button.  It returns the value, Request Submitted in the Status section (of the list), but it does not change the status in the form (dropdown).  What it is basically doing (on the form) is keeping the Request Rejected, but adding the Requested Submitted to the List.  I just need it to replace the Request Rejected status to Request Submitted   

I have a workflow that dynamically assigns a SharePoint group name to a variable and then use that variable in To: field on an email action. I am selecting the variable name with the advanced option and using the "Email addresses" or "Email addresses separated by semi colon" and both do NOT return any email addresses. Whereas if I enter the sharepoint group name manually it does resolve the name and send emails to the group members! I thought this had worked on a previous project, but now not sure, so can anyone please confirm if this approach should work or has recently changed?

This may be a O365 issue, but as of today when working on Nintex Workflow O365 I can not terminate a workflow manually. I click the option and it just runs. Try to kill it in the Workflow Health and it doesn't effect it. Even tried to use another workflow to kill this one, and it doesn't budge. It's been like this all day and on all my site collections. Works great all week.Is anyone getting this or seen it before?Is it a O365 issue or a Nintex issue?

Hi all, I tried creating responsive nintex form and chose to redirect the user after clicking submit or cancel. It is not working though. Even google.com is not working. It goes https://formso365.nintex.com/Pages/my-website-url I just want the user to redirect to another page.

There are 2 ways to call Office 365 REST API and parse the results from Nintex workflow : 1. Using a Call a web service with Get an Item from a Dictionary actions : First, to get the results deserialized into a Dictionary, the request should be configured with the headers as follows : Then, after calling HTTP Web Service and getting the response content in a dictionary, to parse the results you should have to use the same format syntax that work with dictionaries in SharePoint 2013, as follows :    Note : The workflow app should have permissions on the content you request using OAuth2. Otherwise, the results will be as follows :{    "error":{       "code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException",      "message":{          "lang":"en-US",         "value":"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."      }   }}Note : This action executes within your Office 365 tenancy.2. Using a Web Request with Query XML actions : To get the XML fo

Hi,   I am very new to SharePoint and Nintex forms. Currently, I am designing a form ( through Responsive designer) which is not linked to a list (but it will be). I have created a Repeating section and it has different Choices. According to these choices, I need to calculate and store a value.   Example of drop down list: Enrolled: Full Year or Half Year (if Full Year the value will be 1 if Half Year the value will be 0.5) Studying: Full time or par time ((if Full Time the value will be 1 if Part time the value will be 0.5)   I have created 2 number fields to store the values, calcuate and show it in another number field. For this I have created the rules also.   I have already worked similar to this and it worked pefectly fine, but when I am doing in the repeating section it is not working at all.   Any idea what is the issue with the repeating section?     Thanks in advance.   Kind regards, AhmedK

I am working on migrating the nintex workflow from on-premise to o365. Facing an issue mapping the common varibles which are available in on-premise such as workflow start date etc. under common tab. In office 365 not seeing common tab/ variables which are listed under common tab of on-prem workflows.  Please suggest, Am I missing somethings? from where we can access all those in office 365? Thanks in advance!  

I am experimenting with document sets in a Library and its pretty slick.  However, the name of the set is required upon creation and I need to create it based off values after submition.  It's classifying it as a folder, so I assme that the folder name is what I need to change.  I can't seem to find a way to do that...

The workflows in Nintex use the Workflow Manager in Office365 and performance issues can be triggered by other tenants in your shared farm or farm issues. They recommend putting in a ticket to get it resolved. My issue lasted the whole weekend and never got to putting in a ticket.

Hello it appears that Nintex workflow has stopped triggering automatically since we added a remote event receiver on the list. I tried removing nintex workflow app and re-adding it. Also re-published the workflow but no luck. Starting the workflow manually works as expected.
