I'm testing out a data entry form and trying to put in a few simple rules to ensure that the appropriate fields are filled in prior to the user moving foward.   I have a check box "Initial Review Complete" that I've attached 3 validation rules.  If any of the rules faile, the check box should be disabled (would prefer to un-check the box if marked but thats another topic!)  I can't get any of the 3 to work as intended (testing one at a time).  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I tried to follow the syntax found online for these rules, but I cant get the drop-down or text field to work right, and I couldnt find an example for the person field.   All three rules are applied to the "Initial Review Complete" field.  When I enable them, they all disable the "Initial Review Complete" checkbox regardless of the values entered into the tested fields.  1) length(trim(mytextfield)) != 15 2) isNullOrEmpty(SPPersonField(Display Name)) 3) SPDropDownField=='Please select a value...'    

Hi,I have a requirement to allow a repeating section to be optional but still contain validation rules if one or more rows is being added. I've seen that you can't have 0 minimum rows for a repeating section so I'm trying to find another way to solve this. The repeating section has two fields, one is a dropdown where the user selects a value and the other is a text field, if they are entering a value both the dropdown and text field need values in them. Putting a checkbox above the repeating section "Requires repeating section" and then using rules to hide the repeating section the validation still triggers when the repeating section is hidden. I know the Validation Required property on the two fields supports the value Yes/No or Expression, is it possible to write an expression that checks the value of that checkbox indicating that the repeating section isn't required to mean the fields are no longer required? I haven't found an example of an expression anywhere in the documentation o

A table can be created in a rich text control by copying and pasting from MS word but the table can't be  modified, such as inserting a row, since there is no such ribbon menu in the control.Is there any way to do it? 

Hi All I have QA and production Workflow, I want to refresh workflow design, first export production workflow and import into QA. After tested on QA. Should I delete Existing Workflow in production workflow then import new workflow into Production?  It is the normal steps?      moon

we need to display only Inprogress and completed status in workflow history like.In Running workflows and Completed workflows attachement .

How can I achieve a date formatting from "7/24/2019 12:00:00 AM" to a more user friendly format like "Wednesday, 24.th July 2019 12:00 AM" and store it in a string variable in Nintex Workflow for Office 365? 

I am trying to have links for the attachments on the original list item to appear on the task form during an "Assign Task" workflow action. I've followed this walkthrough, but this copies the files to another document library to just link them back to the task form. Can I simply place links on my task form directly back to the attachments? I'm able to get the File Names and URL's via the web request, but if there are multiple it will only capture the last (as it places them in the same variable). Any ideas?  

Hi, my client requests the task list in the New Experience.Problem - you can't right click and open in new tab like in the classic UI.  We also have the unfortunate SharePoint issue where the task items are not opened by downloaded on click ID_.000.  I've implemented the suggested workaround which works for regular Tasklists with standard content type, but for a tasklist with nintex form, the form isn't opening.... However if I right click > open, it does open in a new tab.  Don't know why it isn't opening on click.  Anyone come across this issue?  thanks {"elmType": "a","txtContent": "@currentField","attributes": {"target": "_blank","href": {"operator": "+","operands": ["https://site/sites/mysite/Lists/Tasks/active.aspx?ID=","[$ID]"]}},"style": {"padding": "10px","font-weight": "bold"}}

I am not finding a recent answer to this question.   The only answer is 4 years old.    I have a list that I need to use as a dropdown in a Nintex form.    It does contain duplicates and I want to only display unique items.   In InfoPath this was the 'Show only entries with unique names' option. This apparently wasn't possible in 2015, has it been updated to have this capability now? 

I have a workflow that I am using the Start a Task Process in. The workflow is working fine but what I want to do at the end is set the status column based on the outcome of the workflow tasks. Users have the ability to Approve or Reject and all must respond before the workflow ends. What I want to do then, is have a column in my library set to the outcome of the workflow. What am I missing to have this happen?

I am trying to setup a cascading dropdown where the filtering is accomplished using the fn-contains option. The lists involved are Countrys and Holidays.     Countrys is a list of countries, 1 item per country.   Holidays is a list of Holidays.  Each holiday is listed a single time and has an associated column containing the countries it is celebrated in.  This column can contain multiple countries. In the Holiday list are 2 columns containing the country information.   One is a multi-select column and the other is a text column that is populated with the values from the multi-select column via a workflow. What I need to happen: User selects Country from the Country dropdown.   The Holiday dropdown should then only display the Holidays that are celebrated in that country. I was hoping to use the fn-contains formula to do this, but can't seem to make it work.     

I was trying to connect my form to a table in Amazon AWS, however, I tried all the credentials given to me, my workflow is still failing when trying to connect to the table. Thank you. Data Source=public Ip address of aws sql server;Initial Catalog=xxxxx; User=XXnintex_user;Password=xxxxx; The error message I am getting is the following: Login failed for user "xxnintex_user".

Hello, I'm trying to use Nintex WF to send an email, however, it is going to get the person it needs to send it to from another SharePoint list, and query based on a taxonomy value.  To describe it better:MAIN LIST (List the WF runs on)Customer (Taxonomy) Field 1 (Text) LOOKUP LISTCustomer (Taxonomy) Manager (Person/Group) When I use the below test workflow, I use the set workflow variable to get the 'Manager' from the 'Lookup List' and send an email from the 'Main List'.  When it runs, it stops saying bad request to HTTP. Pasting the REST API URL in my browser, I get the error:The field 'Customer' of type 'TaxonomyFieldType' cannot be used in the query filter expression.Looks like it cannot query against a taxonomy field.  How can I get around this? Thanks in advance!

Hi, perhaps I should have posted in Nintex for SharePoint... but SharePoint online is O365 I guess. I have a workflow involving a task element but the task list is deprecated in Modern SPO sites.  Will this be an issue?  Custom list ok to use?    

I am trying to Add/Edit a connection in the Current Owners and Users with access fields in the Edit Connection window, but it appears i can only add users?  I really want to add groups.  Any ideas?  

Hi, Use case is I'm showing the information captured in previous step of workflow via form need to show in next action where Reviewer A should see the request details in email. Reviewer A should be able to perform below actions: 1) Checking the request detail on email and extend approval by directly clicking on URL/Action button (Reject/Approve) via email or by responding to Reject/Approve to email2) If Reviewer A thinks information needs to be updated he should click on the form link available in the form and edit or add some comments and submit form Means, Reviewer A would have both options available at a time either he directly responds to email Reject/Approve or Reviewer A should click on form link to update/add information/comments. Currently, I'm seeing a limitation i.e. when using Form based action and trying to capture response by directly replying to email (which is required in case of no modifications) then it is not working and saying "Invalid response" Or as an alternative,

We have a third party feature created by a Nintex partner which is critical to our business. We routinely get updates from them and our QA department is woefully lacking in experience so it's always hit or miss with the testing of hotfixes and version upgrades.I'm not a Nintex developer. I do Farm administration and some c# development so I'm not familiar enough with Nintex development to know how regression testing is performed. Do any of you have a system in place for doing this?

All.I need some help here please. I know it is possible in a Flexi-task task form to place items from the list that are editable. For example, if my list column "Number" is set to "1", I can update it in the task form to "2" and that "2" will write back to the number column. For some reason I cannot seen to make this happen with a list I am working on. I've done it in a separate list with a workflow that just has a task in it to verify it still works. It does.I even created a brand-new workflow with just a flexi-task in it. Even this doesn't work so it appears to be a problem at the list level. Not an issue with the task or form. Is there a way to turn off the ability for a Flexi-task update to write back to the list? Has anyone had this issue before?

i have user name in the sharepoint list -type(Multi-text line).. i need to retrieve the user mail id in the workflow variable to sent the task and mail.. Please help me

Hello,     Bit of an odd situation here. I have a list that has multiple workflows on it that start conditionally. I had created one workflow, but deleted it as I created another to replace it. The problem I'm having is that the workflow I deleted keeps starting. The first image below shows the workflows running on the item. The workflow outlined in red is the workflow that has been deleted (for well over a week). Below is a look at the workflow gallery for that specific list. The 'All Unites Under 10K Workflow' does not show there, as it's been deleted.I've deleted every item in the list, so there's no instance of the workflow running. Yet after creating another item, the workflow kicks off. Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this issue?   

I am using O365 Nintex workflow and using Adobe Signature for getting signatures. I am using PDF file for getting signatures. I have 2 Adobe sign tasks in my process flow. Signature controls getting added one by one. Is there any way that we can position the signature location? I have predefined template with required boxes. I would like to display signature control in that box. Moreover I will have Signature person role also defined in template.

I am getting the following error "Unable to find list item to update." while updating folder permission using nintex workflow. The same configuration works fine for an item or document. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
