I have a Nintex List Workflow which utilises 2 Site Workflows.  To better control the process I want to create a State Machine in the List Workflow but want one of Set Next States to be in the Site Workflow.  But when I go to add a Set Next State action in the Site Workflow the system will not let me drag and drop.  Does this mean that this functionality is not available or have I made an error in my setup?

I have used the "Update Item Permissions" action dozens of times in workflow for O365 without issue. However, for whatever reason, I am running into the following error using these actions: "The Application ID (AppID) for which the service ticket is requested does not exist on the system."Has anyone seen this before? At first, I assumed it was an issue with my connection (user/password or permissions), but that doesn't appear to be the case. I have a single 1 action workflow and cannot update permissions on a list item. The above error is shown in the log and then the workflow suspends. Any ideas? UPDATE: I can successfully update permissions using the same workflow in another commercial tenant. So this issue is isolated to this tenant in some way (user, site, etc.) but I'm at a loss for what the issue is exactly.

In an Nintex O365 list workflow, how can I iterate through a document set to find a specific folder?  I have not been able to get the recursive feature to work. I have a document library Portfolios. Inside of the document library are documents sets:     Portfolio A   Portfolio B   Portfolio C   ... Inside of each document set is a folder called Snapshot.    Portfolio A/Snapshot   Portfolio B/Snapshot   Portfolio C/Snapshot   ... Within the workflow I need to find the ID of a specific Snapshot folder so that I can set unique permissions. For example, I need to find the ID of Portfolio A/Snapshot where Portfolio A is the current item. Thank you for the help.

I have a workflow in O365 that is set to run on a modified condition but I get an accessed denied error on the start of the workflow. I have full control to the list, task list and workflow history. Running the workflow manually works fine. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Error Message below. Workflow Status Activity in progress   Retrying last request.

Hi, I have a SharePoint list and we have created nintex workflow for that list, we have assign flexi task and it is assigning to a SharePoint group,Now issue is , whenever the workflow run, in Workflow task list, there is an duplicate status for the same id. Could you please let me know what is happening. I have attached the screenshot

I have no idea where to start. The ask is to create a tracking log where someone does something, selects from a multi selection lookup column and then a task process is started and assigned to each of those selected from that lookup field. They review something (externally) come back to the list, add their initials and date and the task then goes to another participant where they can do the same and also make comments/notes about what they did and then the task goes back to the first groups. No documents are created. This basically a tracking process with comments based off a multiple selection lookup field. I'm by no means an expert with any of this.

Friends,I have configured actionable emails in workflow and it seems that it completes the task but task modified by does not show task assignee's name? How can we hold someone accountable for task?Am I missing something here?Please advise.

I have designed a Nintex List Form which is sent to 25 countries asking Approval/Conditional Approval or Rejection for the use of raw materials in products.  Some countries have some extra sensitive material questions which we want to suppress/hide from the other countries.  I can do this in the List Workflow but don't know if I can do it in the Site Component Workflow.

Hello, I have been tasked with creating a Nintex form that allows a user to pick out of a choice control with 50+ employees and put there initials along side of who that person has ticked off. Now i have created the form and in designer it is all lined up properly and when previewing it also is correctly aligned. When i publish and save and go to add a new item it is completely misaligned. Please help me. I have tried changing padding, margins, creating custom classes and nothing seems to work. I'm using IE 10 as its mandatory. I have also tried the !important after an attributes value.

Hello folks, I am creating a workflow that is based on tasks being assigned to specific users. My Workflow will assign the task based on the a Person/Group Varialble called AssignedTo. I have Embedded Repeating Sections containing assignment tasks that store the Person/Group field.  The notification contains an Edit link back to the form used to raise the assignments. I want to limit what the user sees to tasks assigned to them, and hide all others. I have tried to create a Rule that will hide sections that are not relevant to a user using(Assignedto!=Current User (Login ID)). But what I am seeing displayed is only the data from that last assignment, not all assigned to me (I have 3 assigned to me and two others assigned to other users) Will there be a different configuration for the Controlling Rule for an embedded section? Thanks Dave Stuart

I cannot seem to get my tasks to be assigned to anyone. I did see a post here about it and the answer was that the assignee has to be someone inside your domain, but I am and it is never assigned to me. Any ideas for me? I have an email account for testing (on our domain) and I put myself as the manager. I log the history and I have confirmed if I use a variable for manageremail it is my correct email address. But even if I just use Workflow Context: Manager Email address it does not assign to me. (is the NW something I should know about? When I use Workflow Context it shows like this: [%Workflow Context:NW ManagerEmailAddress%]? )Here is how I have it set up:

Hi All - Greetings, We have an infopath form library, it has a repeating section. Now, I would like to copy all the items that gets created into a SharePoint list, all repeating entries to seperate items. like, If my Form Library entry is - Select Date: 06/25/2018 Activity HoursEmails 1Calls 2 Where Activity & Hours are in a repeating table. And the desired output, something like - Date Activity Hours06/25/2018 Emails 106/25/2018 Calls 2 Wanted to understand, if there is a way to do this using a Nintex workflow. Thank you for reading and your time.

Hi I am adding a Nintex form to a content type published from the content type syndication hub. Content Types created from the content type hub must be set to read only = 'No' in order to create a Nintex Form on it on a list level in the site collection that the content type was synced. My question is this: If I change the content type on the site collection to read only = 'No', what will happen when the content type hub syncs the content types down and the column names change for example? Is it possible that the Nintex Form is reset or overridden by the default form? Will the Nintex Form still retain all connections to the underlying columns? This is on O365, but assume the same behaviour will happen on-premises too.

I want to create a Nintex Form where visitors enter 3 fields (Name, Department and Description) into Nintex form and the people in backend have more 6 fields they can see (Name, Department, Description, Assigned to, Date Started, Date Completed, etc).  If they can all go to same list.  How do I do this?

I know the information inputted within a form can be exported as an Excel document, however can the information also be exported in to a PDF? Similar to the look of the form?

We are migrating over our SharePoint on premise instance to the O365 and as a result our Nintex 2010 to Nintext For O365 version. A lot of our custom web applications (non SharePoint) were hooked up to Nintex 2010 workflows API to support the ability to - Start/stop workflows- Respond to approvals tasks- Fetch workflow tasks  I'm not able to find any documentation (for Nintex For O365) to support any of the above mentioned functionalities. Are these no longer supported? 

I was reading up on the Format this Value feature here:  but I don't see it in my O365 Nintex action items. Is it no longer a feature? The blog post was 3 years ago. I would like my Form to display the name, department, and manager name without the initiator having to type it in. Is there another feature or function that would do that? 

I get this issue when setting up a simple workflow to create a sub site. I am using Office 365 and Nintex Workflow for O365.

It prompts me for the variable I have setup to parse the site name and Title. An exception occurred while processing parameter [InputNtxConnectionId]The above error occurs, any help will be greatly appreciated. #O365 workflow

I have created a few forms and have an image in for our company logo.  The image displays properly in the design and preview modes.  however, when I choose Print to PDF the logo does not come through to the PDF.  Is there something special to do that I am missing.  ? thanks.

Newbie here. How do I access form variables in Javascript? I am seeing this but doesn't know how to utilize it. 

I see the Office 365 create user action but I am having problems finding the action to update the user info. How do I do that in Office 365? On prem I use the Update AD User action. Thanks!

I am querying a list that has four columns - Country, Manager, Role & UserId (Email address).  The role is either Primary or Secondary.  The process is to send an email to both managers.  The workflow is sending an email to the first entry that matches the Country but not to the second.  I have created a variable that filters the list based on Secondary but whilst that will work it sends it to the first person who has Secondary based on their role but ignores the country filter.  Is there a way to make both fields be true and return the email address as the result.  I could not find how to do this.  Any suggestions are welcome. Example: Country = Australia & Role = Secondary then Email is fred.nerk@abc.com.au where fields for Country & Role are single line of text fields 

How do I get the name of the current user within the workflow. I don't want the Initiator or Modified By but the Current SharePoint User details so I can log this in the history

When using the "Calculated Value" option in a SharePoint list on a Date Field, it shows as blank in a Nintex form, but shows correctly in the default SharePoint form. Example Column "date2":SP form: Same list, Nintex Form:  Please advise!
