I have a date field in a repeating section. To be able to use the date fields in emails or tables etc I have to:query the repeating section xml - the output date text is 10/19/2018 convert the value (invariant) - the output date is 19/10/2018 (which is exactly what I want as I'm in Australia and I want the format dd/mm/YYYY) For 99% of cases I have no problem, but for 1% of submissions, the same suspects over and over again, I have different results. To make is easy to compare the results to the steps above:query the xml - the output date text is 19/10/2018 convert the value (invariant) - the output date is "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime" To rectify the situation I must open the form, save it, and restart the workflow. If I don't save the form again the issue persists. Why does this happen for just some people and not others? In fact, why does this happen at all? For #nintex365 #nintexonline

Hi guys Sorry if the title isn't very descriptive.. I'm having an issue with my nintex form not letting me use Javascript to show and hide sections with buttons on the view mode, for example a user will click a button and it will hide all of the other content but show the selected content requested from selecting the button. I have enabled the buttons in the view mode also. Here is my javascript function ShowTab(Section){    var rad = NWF$('#' + ButtonValueText);        NWF$(rad.find('label')[Section]).click();}function ShowRiskArea(Section){    ShowTab(1);    var rad = NWF$('#' + chkRiskAreaTabs);         NWF$(rad.find('label')[Section]).click();} Kind Regards,Jack

Hi everyone, When applying rules to panels, things can go bad, Sometimes controls are overlapping, but what's happening here is even different.By default, the controls are hidden. Depending on values, I display specific fields. I added a background color, so it's easier to see what's going on.If I select "New Product" as a request type and "Blended Product" as a manufacturng equipment. Everything looks fine (see picture 1)Then I change the value for the manufacturing requirements to another value, and set it back on "Blended Product". Here what it looks like (picture 2).If you do this several times, the red panel just keep going up, the yellow one does not seem to like it neither. As you see, the controls are overlapping at runtime. In my designer nothing is overlapping, and everything is in panels.Does anyone know why this is happening? I know that we are supposed to put controls in panel, and that the order of the rules is important.I followed the best practices, but I have been stru

I would like to use a workflow to take the value from either a lookup item I have create in SharePoint (from another list) or from a calculated field. So this started with the basic need to use a lookup in SharePoint. I have a list of departments and names of directors. SharePoint does not allow a lookup to another list with the field/ column type name "Person or Group". As a work around I have swapped this to a text field. The problem is that now it is not possible to use this field in a workflow to send an email. Workflows do not seem to see lookup fields or calculated fields. I am sure i am missing something quite basic but this is sending me round in circles. Any solutions/ ideas most welcome

Hi  How to update the SharePoint online Created column and created by column using Nintex Workflow ?  Ranjith.

I've created a simple Nintex workflow with one action to update item permissions.  See attachments below.  It keeps returning the error, 'the username format is invalid'.  Under User or Group Name in the configuration I've both tried to key in a Display Name, email address and Sharepoint group but with the same results.  On the same list item I've created Sharepoint 2010 workflow to update item permissions, and it runs with a successful result.  Any ideas what's causing the error?

Hi, i have a Component workflow which retrieves metadata from a Flow. The Nintex Site WF gets all parameter and does all steps. The problem lies in following:  After executing all actions, it still logs: "Sending output data to parent workflow. Unique ID: xy". I'm trying to stop the workflow there and even use the "Terminate Current WF" Action. But the workflow still in pending. Any Suggestion or Solutions?

I am trying to put a nintex workflow for a multi level approval with reject back one level. Ex a task goes for an approval to group A , if anyone from A approved the task moves to group B and so on. But if group B rejects them the task should fall back to person who approved from group A , if group C rejects then task should fail back to person who approved in group B. Can someone help me on this please ?

We used our Nintex Workflow On Prem to send email notifications, and the email recipients were happy to accept these emails as long as the FROM indicated specific email names. Now that the email action FROM field has been removed with Nintex Workflow Online, we have no way of setting this field, and the default is just the library site where the form was developed.(1) Do Nintex intend to re-instate the FROM field in the email action(2) Does anyone have a workaround that will enable us to send from specific Email addresses. Thansk

Hi I am new to Nintex Forms and wanted to ask how do I set a form as a default form. I have 1 list with 2 forms and I want to make one of the forms the default so it always open when a user selects an item in the list.  But what is happening is it will open the form that was last used. Form 1 = Item FormForm 2 = CollectionPaperWork Form If a user opens the item it will open Form 1, then they might switch to Form 2 and then close the item.  When they go back into the item it will open using Form 2 but I want it to always open Form 1, how do I do this. I have search for the option but all I find is how to set a field in the form as a default value.Thanks in advance.

I have been searching through the forums and I see very few examples of the Query User Profile.  I have the same problem as this question with the Invalid text error: https://community.nintex.com/thread/15850-user-profile-action-failing-workflow-status-show-started-however-the-details-of-the-workflow-shows-invalid-text-value But I think I have avoided some of the common configuration pitfalls I have seen: wrong tenant URL and ensure you are looking up email address. I am setup as a Site Collection Admin and am trying to query myself to ensure I have everything setup right...the only thing I can think of is that I don't have access to query users?  How would I know if I have access to query or not?

After you have created a Nintex form, can you remove it and reset to the OOTB sharepoint form?

we are using lot of calculation fields inside repeating section and other section panel.while i open form, i cannot use any controls (Drop-down box and text box), During that time calculation field is showing "loading".  we already monitored chrome dev tools, the following track release then we can give input nintex form.   Once all cal fields released then i can use to give input that form. is it any work around to stop calculated values while form loading first time using rules or Jquery or any other way?Because, we designed large form with lot of calculation field values. while i open form, it is very slow to load and enable to give input other controls. Repeating Section Panel with Calculated Fields:  any best practice to use calculated formula inside nintex office 365 forms?

Hello everyone, i've have an issue that i would like to address.A couple of days ago i started working with Nintex on Office 365 and i encountered the following issue: I was creating a new display form for a specific content type. That form is supposed to have not only the metadata associated with a specific item, but it is also supposed to display a pdf associated with that item. I proceeded to add a page viewer control, and build a dynamic source that connects to the pdf file associated with the item. Theoretically the source is correct, since i tested with several items and the source link generated is the same as the link for the pdf file. Yet the reader inside the iFrame states that my domain "refused to establish a connection". Upon further inspection i went to my browser console searching for errors and stumbled upon the following:"Refused to display 'LINK_TO_FILE' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'." Is there any way i can fix this? From a bit of reasea

Hi everyone, Have any of you found a way to render a PDF file stored in a doc lib on a Nintex Form in Office 365? I've been able to get a solution working for word documents using this thread as a guide (Page Viewer Control - not displaying Office 365 files ) but it doesn't seem to work for PDF files - ends up with the "This content cannot be displayed in a frame..." error message. Moving on to a different approach (outlined in this blog: How to embed a PDF in a modern SharePoint page) seems very promising but I can't seem to find the secret sauce that doesn't end with the same error message above. Apparently the modern document library experience handles the document preview feature through the views themselves instead of relying on the WopiFrame/WopiFrame2 pages. That said, I'd challenge you to try simply configuring a page viewer control to show the All Items view of a document library without any. Doesn't work for me but it would be useful to understand why that's failing to possib

Are the minimum and maximum rows configurable at all? This doesn't work: fn-If(Is New Mode, 2, 1)   

I have two repeating rows and would like to add a rule such that the dropdown choice (a list lookup) in each row cannot be similar. How is this done?

Is it just me?  I can't seem to copy and paste the HTML code from a formatted email message to another email message without losing the dynamic values that I inserted in to the message.  I can copy the action and paste it in the same workflow and keep the value.  But I have have multiple workflows and a couple templates I use with the formatted emails.  It feels like I was able to do this in the past versions. So as a test I made a lame email test with no real formatting but two values from the list. 1st one has the values inserted in the message, the second is a HTML copy/paste to the email.
