I need to set by JavaScript a value to a dropdown field control knowing only Text.For example, There is a dropdown control that has 3 values - One, Two, Three. I need to set my value to Three by JavaScript. I found that aricle Custom Script on O365 and according to this I can set value only knowing Id, but I want set value not by Id but by Text. That works:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {       NWF$('#' + ddlStaff).on('change', function (e) {           if (e.originalEvent == undefined) {               if (this.value == "") {                   this.value = "1";               }           }       });   }); But like this it does not work:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {       NWF$('#' + ddlStaff).on('change', function (e) {           if (e.originalEvent == undefined) {               if (this.value == "") {                   this.value = "Three";               }           }       });   });Any ideas how to set value by Text?

How can I hide a control based on the below condition ?Status Of Request =! 'With HR' or Status Of Request =! 'With Marketing'In other words, hide the control if Status of Request contains the value 'With HR' or contains the value 'With Marketing' I have found a solution that works correctly using: and(StatusOfRequest=! 'With HR', StatusOfRequest=! 'With Marketing') Why does a formula like this: =(StatusOfRequest =!"With HR' || StatusOfRequest =! 'With Marketing)  not work ??? (I have tried all types of brackets and did not get the desired result What do you think about the formula example below:If(Identity Validated !='Identity validated',False,Status Of Request Package!='With HR - building the package')In other Words, hiding the control when Identity Validated is not equal to 'Indentity validated' or StatusOfRequestPackage is not equal to 'With HR - building the package'Is this a recommended way of hiding the control?hide rule‌

I have a Query List action on a SharePoint Date field that IS set to Date Only in SharePoint, but when the workflow runs, the date is returned looking like this for each date: {"Monday_x0020_Reminder_x0020_Date":"2018-11-07T08:00:00Z"}   The column name is "Monday Reminder Date" -- why is that included?

Missing warning symbols when component workflow is changed for a list workflow.  There used to be small warning triangles to pinpoint which component changed but that has disappeared.  This was a very handy feature especially when you have quite a large number of component workflows being called by the main list workflow.

Is it possible to receive a notification when a installed SharePoint app in site contents on O365 (Forms/Workflow) has an update which need to be installed? Last week we had a problem with forms, when we opened the app (through site content >> details). The app announced we should update the app (with a "update" button). If I had known this earlier, I would have installed the update right away which would have cost me some precious time in problem solving the issue.

Is it possible to customize the startscreen when a workflow starts on a conditional variable? I would like to add/change some text on the Original page (see attachment).

Hi, We have a CAPEX workflow that uses a state machine to step through the various levels of approval. Included in this is the ability to ask for more information from the submitter by changing to a 'More Info' state and then back to the state the workflow was referred from - all working nicely. What we've been asked for now is the ability to recall the CAPEX - i.e. the user decides he wants to change some of the information so recalls the CAPEX, edits the information and resubmits. This will obviously need to go back to the initial state of the state machine to potentially recalculate approvers, etc. The piece I need to handle is to cancel the outstanding task, which could be sitting with any of the approval states, and force the state machine to jump to another state (not the one it expects to go to next). I envision this being a button on the item form the user can push that will cancel the current outstanding task and change the state to 'Recalled' where we can do some processing a

I got  a requirement to book the corporate cards in SharePoint, basically we have total 10 corporate cards, so when someone submits the form the number goes down from 10 to 9 and so on, when all cards gone. we need send email to requester states all cards are booked this time. For this requirement, I created 2 lists in SharePoint, 1st list for the how many cards are remaining calculation and 2nd list is actual sign up list, I have added a lookup column in the sign up list from the 1st list, once the card booked in the 1st list, I have added the filter in the 2nd list to show only available cards not the reserved one, My issue is when all the 10 cards booked, my lookup drop down shows no value.  My issues are:1. When all cards booked in the 1st list, if someone wants to book a card then how can I notify them that all cards are booked this time, because my lookup field in not showing any value in drop down so I am not able to do any query. Is there any way that I can calculate a number o

Can we use nintex workflow in combination with power-apps?

Hi all, I have a list of employees and two of the columns used are "Location" and "Initials". On my Nintex form, I want to add employees to my list, which is straightforward. However, at any location, two employees cannot use the same initials. If they are in different locations, same initials is ok. How would I use the Query function to accomplish this? Essentially, if a new employee working in Location A chooses initials YZ, I have to verify that no one else in Location A is assigned those initials. If an employee in Location B has initials YZ, that is ok. The idea is to not allow the form to commit to the list until this check returns true (i.e. initials are not in use) I hope I'm explaining this adequately. Our administration governance does not allow for the use of custom javascript on our site, so I'm hoping I can do this with forms and workflows only. Thanks so much!!

I'm trying to clear a date column using a workflow in o365. All solutions I have seen seem to be for SharePoint on premise.

I'm building out a task from from within a workflow and I'm trying to add a calculated value that performs a lookup function against another list, but the resulting value displayed on the form is just blank.  Then I tried executing a query list action in the workflow and saving the value into a workflow variable and then referencing the variable in the calculated value, but the displayed value is #Value!. Do calculated values work on task forms? Do workflow variables work on task forms? Thanks!

Hi  How to show the SharePoint OOB Fileds Ex: ID,Created by and  Modified  in Nintex forms ? RegardsRanjith

I'm using Nintex Forms for O365 (App Version: NFO 1.2.2.0) and was trying to set up a tabbed interface using the Choice control's Display Format = Option Buttons (See my screenshot of the Control Settings, below).  This is a really cool built-in feature based on this video, however it looks like on-prem SharePoint therein: Create Tab like functionality on your Nintex Forms.  So here's the problem -- the buttons are NOT rendering in O365, rather it just looks like a typical radio button field.  Is there a workaround to this?  Custom CSS or anything?  I'm new to Nintex so I may have missed a step, so if there's a video out there specific to O365, that would be helpful as well.  Thanks!
