I'd like to create a repeating section that leverages the new lookup() function to create an equipment request form. When a user selects a particular product, I want the form to lookup an html <img src=""> tag in a text field in the reference list, and display it in a calculated field to display that image. I can do this just fine using the lookup() function, but when I go to save the form (with multiple line items in the repeating section), i get an error "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client...", with a big long ID string for that particular calculated field. It appears it does not like the HTML tag (with quotes, double or single) being part of the XML in the form or a variable. Has anyone done this before or know the right way to do this?  I'd rather not use custom javascript if possible.

I have a Nintex From on Office 365 with a multi-line text box in a repeater section. This section of the form is for end users to copy and paste email information related to the case. The users can copy and paste text fine, however, the system throws an error (attached) on any html such as < username@username.com >. This means the users have to copy and paste the email in sections. Any way to get the form to take this data? Error: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (2_ListForm$formFiller$FormView$ctl50 

Hello, I have workflow that suspends when a field (Current Kms) in a list item is blank or 0.  Workflow completes where there is a number >0 in that field. Suspend information:RequestorId: 15e7635c-a11d-b9bd-0000-000000000000.

I want to get the workflow status running on the current item and hide buttons on the form if the workflow is running. In the workflow, a workflow status value is set; to "Active" at the beginning and to "Inactive" at the end.  The workflow status (myWfStatus) is not an value that is in the "item property" list, however I can access it through the Form's lookup runtime function (through a form variable) using the current ID and the name of the Workflow subscription:Lookup("MyList", "ID",Id,"myWfStatus"). This returns the Workflow Status link value perfectly.  This list has folders.  When an Item is in a folder, the lookup doesn't return anything.  When the item is at the root, the lookup works.Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I work on a workflow which should only run if a specific date = the current date. Each promotion has a start and an end dateDepending on the Start and End date, the forecast update date, the invoices reminder date and the official sales-out volumes date are created in the same list as a column.  I want to create a workflow which reminds on these three dates to update figures.But I do not know, how to set up the condition, that the task / notification is only send when Forcast Update date / Invoices Reminder Date / Official sales-out volumes date = current date ..I tried it with building a variable, which has the default date "today" and and pause until, but it didn't work and the notification was send today because the variable said "today"...  Can you help me please?

Is there a method using nintex to copy a file using an outside URL to Document library. The URL is the value of a field in a list and the name of the file that will be in the document library is the value of another field. TIA

I have a State Machine workflow which has a number of approval steps.  Initially the first approval step saves the comments then triggers the component workflow based on the number of country managers that were selected on the original form (this number is between 1 and 24 countries).  Each of the countries may have a comment which I wish to capture.  From my reading I knew to setup a for each to add the comments.  I then started to see an uncoded line feed (\u000a) between some but not all comments. The configuration for my two Regular Expressions is this: Any and all help would be appreciated

Has anyone successfully used the O365 Query User Profile Action with User Column in a SharePoint list and get proper data back? I am trying to get the manager for a particular user assigned in the form. When passed in the User Email, it kept throwing an error .  When i dump the user data into the history it looked like i:0#.f|membership|firstname.lastname@trial.onmicrosoft.com. Is this an overlook by the Nintex team that the user column would contain claims? So far I could only use it properly if I use the action with the Workflow Context for Initiator and Manager but can't be used for any other users. Any ideas?

I'm getting this error when running the Office 365 Create User Action    Unable to create user after retrying 5 time(s).   Has anyone successfully created a O365 user account using the said action? can you please let me know what I'm missing?   Screenshots attached is the error and the configured workflow action, this is the first time I'm trying this out and Connection is working, verified the credentials are correct and Im using my own global admin account.   Thanks, Norman

Hi, I am migrating a onpremise 2013 to the 365. How do I recreate a User Defined Action on 365?Will I need to recreate the variables and everything every time?

I have been tasked with creating HTML buttons to approve or reject workflow items instead of replying. Is this a possibility by creating a custom href?

I have inherited a Nintex Workflow (Nintex Workflow 2013) from a previous employee who is no longer with the company. The workflow is a basic scorecard that’s used to check and report on Core Document update compliances. About a month after the employee left, the Workflow stop functioning as intended.  The problem is: whenever I run the workflow, regardless if it automatically starts or if I manually start it, it only reports the same output without performing any update calculations. Also, it sends the following intermittent error message:Error     The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.   Outcome - Access DeniedDoes this have any correlation with the User’s access permissions?Can someone enlighten me with a solution?Mark

Copying item with Attachments in a SharePoint list in SharePoint online using Nintex workflow

Product: Nintex Forms for Office 365 (creating a responsive form) Scenario: I've got a lookup list drop-down on a form (Choice field AAA)I've got a regular choice radio button on the form as well (Choice Field BBB) that has no default value.  Requirement: If you pick a specific option from Choice field AAA, I want the choice field in BBB to pick a specific value. I then went to disable Choice BBB, but I already know how to do that last part.  I got excited when I saw the "Set Field Value" rules option, but that option doesn't appear on choice fields.  So, how can I achieve this? I realize its been asked, but I just can't find a good step by step answer. A lot of them seem to require you use the option on the field to set "client ID JavaScript variable name". I don't seem to have that option under advanced, and I'm not sure why.  Anyone walk me through my options here? 

Let say i have a task assigned to a group of people by using the "Start a task process", inside the user group have 3 people (e.g. User A, B, C), the task will be completed once one of the user approved or rejected from the user group. Finally i need send an email to the initiator who approved or rejected the request from the user group. (User A or B or C) How can i do it in o365 workflow? thanks.

I have created a new site in our organization, I usually add Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms when creating a site. In this case however the "Nintex Workflow" app is missing in the list of "Add an app", though upon checking the "Store", I can find the Nintex Workflow app.My question is, why does the "Nintex Workflow" app suddenly disappears from the list when clicking the "Add an app". Please heeelp!

I wanted to update person or group field with single or multiple set of users.  Following approach worked for me.  To update it with single user account, retrieve the value of the corresponding User Name property for the user account you would want to update from the list item, example user1@domain.COM. To update multiple set of users for person field. Gather the User Name property value from list and concatenate the values using semi colon to look like this example user1@domain.COM;user2@domain.COM;user3@domain.COM;user4@domain.COM.Trim for any spaces in between and trim end for semicolon.  Finally, use Update List Item action in Nintex workflow to make update to SharePoint list. Note: These are not the email ids.

Hi,I'm a fairly new user so forgive me if this is fairly basic!I'm currently trying to create a flow that assigns a task to a group of people based on a set of criteria (Eg: assign task to all persons in team A or team B depending on what type of task it is)However the main problem I'm finding is since the people who the task will be assigned to can change regularly, I need to store the people in a reference list. This is so that when these people are changed, it doesn't require the flow to be re-published, meaning the tasks currently in progress don't get restarted.Here is what my flow currently looks like. The two sides of the switch will be the same, but with some minor changes, so I only showed one side here. The reference list (CTS Incorrect Kits Teams) contains two columns, a person column and a team column. The person can only select one person, and the team can either be set to competitor or internal.Whenever I run this, the workflow status comes up as suspended. I have a feeli

Hi, I want to change the permissions on a new item so that when it is submitted the creator is no longer able to edit it. I'm using the "Office 365 Update item permissions" action.I tried using the current item's ID as the filter. However, I kept getting the error "Filter rule error, column '26' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user." - I think because the item doesn't really exist, and doesn't have an ID, until the workflow finishes.So I tried using other data as the filter - the unique reference number generated earlier in the same workflow, but I have the same issue.Can anyone help?I've included some screenshots of the action in case it helps.Many thanks.

On Responsive 365 forms, I can disable the attachment controls using a rule, but users are still able to delete the attached file if they open the form in edit mode - even though the control is supposed to be disabled. It only seems that adding new attachments is disabled. Deleting the current ones is NOT disabled. Is there any way of disabling the deletion function, too. I would still like the attachements to be openable, though.There may be a way of doing this through the HTML link control - but I have several attachment controls, all of which I want to make read-only after they are disabled.How can this be done in 365 Responsive Forms?

Hi,  I have created a responsive form that has a field that I want to display only if a specific value has been selected from the picklist of another field on the form. Can this be done on a responsive form and which in-line function should I use? Thanks
