Hey everyone, I'm trying to set a user's manager in Office 365 forms. I've read this Nintex Forms Managers name into people picker  and also I have got this working on premises. I'm wondering if the API is supposed to be included in Nintex now or if I still need to upload the people picker JavaScript file - I don't think the on prem one will work with online how ever? Anyone worked with people pickers in Office 365? Thanks heaps for any guidance John Luangco​ Chris Ben​

I have created a form in Reponsive Design mode for an O365 doc lib. The form works fine in edit mode but I do not see where I can make it also be the form for DIsplay and New modes. Can anyone assist?

Hi all, I'm trying to use the Office 365 Query User Profile action to get some details from the UPS. The list contains a user column which has a user selected. I'm tried using both the login name and email address of the user field for the lookup, but neither work. When running the workflow, it suspends at the query action with the following error:User 'i:0#.f|membership|ben.short@synergi.it' does not exists or user profile cannot be found.I have tried the same action on another tenancy and get the same error, so it doesn't seem to be isolated to a single environment/tenant. Loading the following URL does return results however, suggesting the issue isn't with the UPS itself./_api/sp.userprofiles.peoplemanager/getpropertiesfor(%27i%3A0%23.f%7Cmembership%7Cben.short@synergi.it%27)  Has anyone had any similar issues?

Hello, I am creating a section in a form enabling user to request quote for item(s). Each item is a row in a repeating section and has several optional fields and an image for this item (stored in another library). Now I searched this forum and managed to have the form display the image using Calculated value control as per below image:and it works like charm, as user only uploads the image to the library and enters its name in ImageName text box control. If only one item in the repeating section is submitted, everything works fine; but the issue occurs when the user enters several rows in the repeating section, we the below error: Mostly this related to HTML decoding the tags of the image calculated value, considering the code as dangerouse when 2 more rows are submitted.Any idea about this issue and a workaround? Thank youHassan

What is the difference between “Start a task process” vs “Assign a Task” how to choose from these two options.

I have a simple O365 list form for that is currently using tabs. There are 6 sections using pane controlsd and rules. My client wants to see if it can be an accordian interface. Is that doable?

I have a form where I user attaches a document, and a workflow then places the document in an appropriate document library. It's possible for a user to upload another document later with the same name and settings, so it would go to the same place. What I want to happen is for the new document to be saved to the library, replacing the old document as a new version number. I.e. the first time, the file gets uploaded and it's version 1, the user uploads the file again later, this replaces the current file as version 2. The "upload document" action just replaces the file if I have overwrite set to yes. So the would still be called version 1 and the older version of the document would be lost. But if I set overwrite to no, the workflow suspends because there's already a file of the same name. Is there a way to get upload document to use SharePoint's versioning? I've also found that when the workflow makes changes to the metadata, this isn't saved as a new version number either, but that's

So I have a Reimbursement form where individuals will get reimbursed for Days they use Phone for work.  I am using a Repeating section in the form, I can calculate the number of days they use Phone. What I have having issues with is Calculating amount.  so if they use the phone <=10 days get $10 per day.  If it is >10 & <21 days they get $15  >20 they get $20.  So I used this calculated value and Variations of it but only thing I could get back is TRUE.  Total days <=10*10  or Total days(<=10*10) This is what I tried First Total days <=10*10||Total days>10&&<21*15||Total days>20*20  What am I doing wrong?

Nintex Workflow O365 version 1.0.4.2Nintex Form O365 version 2.0.0.1 I have an existing published workflow and I'm trying modify the Task Form.

Hello,I would like to reference the user who created a new item in the email of a task. If I put in the reference to the from the item properties, it will be displayed as the claims based authentication (i:0#.f|). I thought maybe if I assigned it to a variable first I'd be able to pull the user name property from field but that doesn't work. I've tried with both a text variable and a person variable. Is there an easy way to pull the user name from this field? Thanks,Nick

I have a SharePoint list with a Nintex form attached to it, and a couple of the columns in that list are lookup fields which allow multiple values. The user can fill out the form, select one or more items, and that all saves to the list with no problems. However, when a workflow runs that takes some values from the form and applies them as metadata to a file in a SharePoint document library, I get problems. The other types of fields (text, people, even managed metadata) copy across without difficulty, but the lookup field causes it to get stuck. When I go to the workflow details, it says it's retrying the last action and I see the following message:An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected. All I'm trying to do is copy the values from one field to an identical field. The list and library lookup columns are both looking at the same list as their source.

365 form - Choice multi-select - if text too long, whole lot goes to next line. Anyone have a solution to this? It's very ugly and the user will reject this form based on the formatting of the choice field. 

HiI am trying to get data from lookup using the control class and its working fine when I do it in console but once the form is published and I try to open it up in Crome it will throw an error saying "Cannot read property 'textContent' of undefined". Again if I use "NWF$(".CSclass option:selected")[0].textContent" after inspecting the element it works fine.Any ideas why it happens with certain controls. code :NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function(){ var data =NWF$(".CSclass option:selected")[0].textContent;alert(data);});It will now show the alert because it couldn't get the data in data variable. 

SOLUTION and SAMPLE is in the very last post Hey there,I am trying to trigger a workflow in Nintex Workflow for Office 365 based on a date field called Form Completion Date. The client is requiring that a trigger runs 1 day before the Form Completion Date value to send an email to the requestor to complete the form. I cannot work out how to run this trigger based on this field. I do apologise if my question has been answered but I've searched the forums that relate to my issue exactly and cannot find any discussion on it. I am also quite new to Nintex so any advice of being pushed into the right direction is appreciated or pointed to the post where this has been answered already.

Oftentimes, when initiating an approval process via a Nintex form, I will use a people picker control to allow end-users to include additional "Ad Hoc" reviewers/approvers (see sample below).In my current use case, the approvers that are included in this way are bound to a Start a Task Process action within my workflow. The "assignment behavior" for this task is Serial (one at a time).The Issue:Nintex is not honoring the order in which these approvers are added to the people picker. As you can see from the above screenshot, my approvers were entered in the following order WF4test4, WF3test3, WF2test2, WF1test1. SharePoint also reflects this order properly within the list view and info pane:Despite this, when the workflow executes, approvers are being sent each serial task in what appears to be alphabetical order. Has this limitation always existed or is this a bug? From workflow history, you can see this order being executed incorrectly (see below). The first task should be assigned to

Hello network, I recently relocated some nintex forms from SP 2010 to SPO that have text fields with the barcode reader enabled for using the Nintex Mobile App. These forms still work on the on-prem server but they don't work on SPO. The barcode is enabled and when accessing it, they only show the device's keyboard, see attached image. I am using different devices this functionality does not work in any of them. I have tried iPhone 5S and 6, moto g6, samsung g Galaxy Tab A / SM-T350, Galaxy Tab A / SM-T380, Galaxy Tab A / SM-T560 and Galaxy Tab A / SM-T113NU. All of them have mobile app version 7.2. Any guidance? perhaps setting in the SPO site collection I missed? Thanks,Valentin

Within Nintex Designer I am trying to create some additional columns.   I click on Create Column and receive the error that says "refused to connect".   It doesn't appear to be a permissions issue as I am owner/administrator of the site and I created the list.   Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,Pam

Hi, I'm trying to create an event in a user's calendar as a response to a new event created in SPO using Nintex "Exchange Online Create Calendar Item". For now, the user I'm trying to create the item is myself.I'm using my own credentials (this is a dev environment so I have admin on exhange and sharepoint). After the workflow starts, it gets suspended and I get the following error:"An exception occurred while processing parameter [InputPassword]" I have no idea how to move on from here.Any idea?  

When I add to my Nintex Form an html link tag (<a>) from Nintex Workflow proccess in a control Enhanced Rich Text (in Nintex form) my link appears on the form without http.For example: I try to add a control <a href="google.com">google</a> in Nintex workflow, but when this control is added to Enhanced Rich Text  it appears as <a>google</a> Does anybody have an idea why this is happening?

Hi all, Curious if anyone else has noticed this before contacting support - we have found that disabling the 'inform original participants' escalation option for the assign a task action does not appear to stick. We have not confirmed for start a task process but suspect the same behavior as well. To reproduce - after closing/reopening a workflow that includes an assign a task action with this option unchecked - reopened the assign a task action's config dialog shows that this option has been re-enabled. We did, however, confirm that the actions behavior to send or not send this message behaves as intended until the workflow is reopened, that action opened to check its configuration, and then the workflow is republished. We've experienced this in multiple O365 environments but would love to hear from our fellow Nintex users as well. Cheers!

Hi All, Kindly help me about the actions are not supported MFA in O365.  Thanks in advance. Reagrds,Manju

Hello All,  I am trying to create a variable that will tie in definitions I have on a list. Definitions will be pulled into variables based on the selections made on theon the selections made on the form.                 I am currently using a query list to select the definition from the agreements list based on a Terms and Conditions collection which works if only one term and condition is selected. However it does not work if multiple terms are terms are selected. What function can be used to tie in multiple items based on choices made on the form?
