Hello,  I just discovered that the lookup function is not available in the new Universal Form. Does anybody have an alternative solution for the lookup function in the form? For example, I want to lookup the text value base on my input in the Universal Form. Thank you. 

I have a large travel request system that I would like to move items after they have peen paid to a library because libraries can handle the 5000 threshold limit better.  This way I don't have to babysit the system too much and can determine the location based on the fields and do it in a very methodical way so the user expects their requests to be in a certain place. Is there an activity or set of activities that let me move items (just a form and attachments) to another place, specifically list to library if possible?  I was thinking maybe do a Create List Item then a Delete Item? (I would have a query and an if exists check in there as well just to make sure I don't delete forever anything.)

I have a people or group variable on the start form of Nintex O365 workflow for SharePoint online. I need to modify it in order to provide a browse button so that initiator can select users from only a particular SharePoint group. What is the best way to do it?

This is for the new responsive designer for Office 365. How can I disable a repeating section control? 

 Hi Guys, I am trying to populate people picker control (Manager) based on the value entered in another people picker control (employee). I have seen some old posts about this topic for On Prem version. Any of you have a solution to this in Nintex forms for O365.  

Hi! How can i edit the "Please address the following:" error message (received after submitting the form):  Thanks for your help!Daniel

Hi team, Does anyone know how to send an external email from o365 to multiple external recipients?  I'm not sure what data type to use.  I've tried a semi colon delimited text variable, dictionary and collection variables.  All throw an exception with the error: RequestorId: f461f2f8-3567-47ef-0000-000000000000. Details: System.Activities.Statements.WorkflowTerminatedException: SharePoint operation 'GetUsersByGroupNameAsync' did not return successfully. Status Code: [InternalServerError]{"odata.error":{"code":"-2146232832, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Group cannot be found."}}} Cheers,Chris

Hi,I'm seeing a mix of german and english labels for the workflow actions. That makes it very hard to search for actions as I never know if I need to search for e.g. "item" or "element". For example, it is english for "check in item" but german for "Element auschecken" (check out item).I can't seem to find a setting to correct that. I dont really care if it is german or english, but this mix drives me crazy...

Hi, I got this error and it couses that the workflow gets suspended when  the task list exceeded 5000 threshold. I have reindexed the task list  as most of the articles suggets and now it shows only 1000 item but it doesnt solve the problem yet..any tips?

Is there a way I can change the time intervals from 5 minutes  to 1 minute  when selecting the Date and Time control on a list? I saw Mary's solution of this here, however since we're creating a form that will have over 100 Date and Time columns it would be too time consuming to do it this way. Any suggestions?

First off, apologies if this post is a duplicate - the only close item I found was in the How-Tos, and referred to a fix that appears to be on-prem only. I'm looking for a way to preserve the workflow task history that Sharepoint purges after 30 days. Is there a way to generate via workflow a copy of each task item to a  separate history list, that references the original item it's approving? 

Hello, I run into an error when I save a large workflow. Situation: When I copy the 'Assign a task' action, this error happens. The image below demonstrates the error. Is there any solutions? Thank you. 

I created a workflow that uses the set a condition and Set field value actions.  The field is updated using the correct data, but the workflow adds a number, semicolon and # before the data.  The data isn't altered when the workflow determines the conditions are both false.  How do I stop the workflow from adding additional text?  Here's the workflow:

Hello - I am testing the new responsive desinger and I am stuck on the rules section. I have a simple choice field with Yes and No options and I want to hide/show a Group of fields below based on that selection. I am able to show the Group if No is selected but how do I hide it if the user goes back to selecting Yes. I cant seem to figure it out... 

Hello All,I am trying to set a field value (Region) based on another field (County).  So if the County contains any of the following counties:  Anderson, Bledsoe, Blount, Bradley, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, Cocke, Franklin, Grainger, Greene, Grundy, Hamblen, Hamilton, Hancock, Hawkins, Jefferson, Johnson, Knox, Loudon, Marion, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Scott, Sequatchie, Sevier, Sullivan, Unicoi, Union, Washington then I want to set the Region to East Grand Region.  However if the County contains:  Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Coffee, Cumberland, Davidson, DeKalb, Dickson, Fentress, Giles, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson, Lawrence , Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery, Moore, Overton, Perry, Pickett, Putnam, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson, Wilson then I want to set the Region to Middle Grand County and so on.  I have done Google searches and have not found anything. 

I created a simple demo to confirm my problem:List "Filter" with items "Filter value 1" and "Filter value 2" List "Items" with additional multi-lookup columns "Filter1" and "Filter2" onto the Filter-List. Items: "Item 1", "Filter value 1", Empty "Item 2", Empty, "Filter value 2" "Item 3", "Filter value 1"+"Filter value 2", "Filter value 1"+"Filter value 2" List "Test" with additional lookup columns: "Filter" onto Filter-List "ItemA" onto Items-List "ItemB" onto Items-List Nintex Forms for Office 365 on Test-List with Responsive-Mode "ItemA" List Lookup Filtering Settings: By control "Filter" where field "Filter1" "ItemB" List Lookup Filtering Settings: By control "Filter" where field "Filter2"  Now if preview is used (or form populated), we can choose a filter and both dropdowns "ItemA" and "ItemB" always contains the same value. The requests sent contains only a single query to the Items-List.

There seems to be no way to add more buttons to forms in the new designer. I used these a lot in the classic designer to forward forms from one department to another. We have a lot of lists that collect information from different departments, and so far I used buttons connected to a status field that I used in workflow to decide what to do next.In the new designer, I can't even distinguish between save and submit. So what do I do if I started to fill out a form, but am not ready yet to send it off?

I have exhausted my search in trying to understand what CAUSES VALIDATION even means?? I cannot find explanations for the 3 options--Yes, No, and Expression. I'd like a description (with examples) of what they each mean and how/why they are used. The Help is not helpful at all!I have a Save and Submit button and one required field on the form. I also have a confirmation message--is this related to the CAUSES VALIDATION setting? (OOTB Tutorials says: Although there is an option on Nintex Forms Buttons to allow you to setup confirmation messages, this setting should only be used if Causes validation is set to No.) So I'm not sure if I should set the CAUSES VALIATION to No or Yes--I've tried both and there doesn't see to be a difference.

When using CreatedBy(Display Name) as a default value in single line of text, it is showing blank on already created items. 

The Nintex Workflow button does not show up in Document Library for users that have Design permissions. It only shows for users with full control. 

I am running into an issue with a Nintex for O365 Workflow. I have mutliple distribution list that are set to receive an email on a submitted form and the individual who submits the form gets CC'd on the email. The individual who submits the form receives the email. However the distribution lists that are in to 'To' section does NOT receive the email. I have placed those DL's in a SharePoint group so they have access to the site, just in case. Any thoughts? Any help is appreciated!

I just started playing around with the new forms designer and noticed that I can't set a default value for a people picker control (e.g. current user). There's one for text controls, but not for the people picker. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTm07OFxhpE you can see three options in the rules tab - on form load, input and submit. Load is obviously what I woud need here, but it's not visible for me. I can only create rules for input and submit.

We are migrating Nintex workflow from SharePoint On-Premise to SharePoint online.During import,we are provisioning customer domain. At this time, we are geting an ArgumentException i.e. "One or More error" has occurred (we are not sure about inner exception for this). So do you have any inputs when this type of error i.e. "One or More error" can occur while provisioning customer domain? Below is the sample code that we have written to provision customer domain. try{         HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(ProvisionEndpoint).Result;         string json = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;          if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)         {                                       response = client.PostAsync(ProvisionEndpoint, new StringContent(string.Empty)).Result;                  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();         }          ProvisionResponse result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ProvisionResponse>(json);         string result = result.Data.Dom

Hello Nintex community. I have been asked to create a character counter box for sections in which we have a text box (single or multi-line). Would like it to display like a countdown (i.e. number of characters remaining) that is seen like on Twitter or other sites. I have been doing extensive research on the topic and have tried several things that have been offered, but nothing seems to be working. I am not a javascript expert, more of a copy/paster of built code and figuring out how to manipulate parts of code to make it work. I thought about perhaps using a calculated field and can get this to work. However,  it's not a real-time display. It will only show the character count after I have clicked out of a specific text box.  Any thoughts or ideas from the community to help figure out a solution? Thanks in advance.
