Hello,Recently a item that had a workflow running on it was deleted from a list.  That workflow is configured to send reminders every 7 days if a task is not complete.  Even though the item has been deleted from the list it is still sending reminders.   Is there a way to find and cancel this workflow or will it forever send reminders?Thank you,Matt

Ok, I have really banged my head on this one. When I used Winshuttle in the past it was easy to attach the workflow task history. I understand that there are custom UDAs created for Nintex onprem that would give you the exact same functionality. But there seems to be no way to log this information and add it to the form in office365. In other words, there is no way to audit anything. are there any solutions that i'm missing. I love this software but sometimes I'm so perplexed at the simple things that winshuttle allowed me to do that Nintex does not.

I have a fairly standard requirement – when an item is created, I want to remove the ability for normal users to edit/delete it, but retain permissions for admin users to remove and edit it. Simple, right? Nintex Workflow has an action “Update item permissions”, which sounds like just the ticket. This action can basically do three things:Remove item permission inheritance Clear all item permissions Assign one group to one permission So here’s my first attempt: Add an action that a) removes inheritance b) removes all permissions c) assigns full control to my admin group Add an action that a) assigns read control to my users group This fails because step 2 can’t run. The user that invoked the workflow no longer has permission to see or edit the item at this point, thanks to stripping the permissions in 1). So, refine it a bit: Wrap the above steps in an app step, so it runs in the context of the app permissions This also fails because step 2 can’t run, since the app doesn’t have permissi

Hello I have a drop down list of about 7 department names and I have a list of 7 department leads that I need to get approval from when the form is submitted, how do I associate department names to department leads to send out for approvals. Thank youMZK

Hi guys,  I am working with Nintex for Office 365 and what I want to achieve is that an approver of an approval task can fill out a field on the task form of type "People". In the workflow I need to use the person that was provided.  I have tried two scenario's:Adding a person or group field to the Tasks List to all content types. The field does not show in my task form editor window in the Task Columns category nor within the "Connected to"-section. Also not after saving/refreshing my window. Adding a workflow variable of type string which I connected to the People field on the form. When filling out the form and logging the contents of the variable afterwards in my workflow, it remains empty.  Anyone having the same issue, or did someone get it working or maybe has a different solution? I am using Nintex responsive forms (and I would like to keep it this way as currently all my other forms are built in the responsive forms builder as well). Kind regards, Glenda

I have created a list workflow. The workflow starts whenever an item is created or any changes are made to it, and logs are added to workflow history. However, when I create a new item, the workflow status shows no error and it is completed, but I don't get any output from the workflow. Also there is no logs added to the workflow history.  Has anybody experienced this? What could be the problem? Thank you!

I am trying out the Document Generation action in Nintex for O365. The Tagger function is supposed to insert wf variables into the word template document. I have a template document setup but the 'Nintex Document Tagger' does not appear when I click on the 'tag' button in the Document Generation action.Nintex site says to install the tagger as an Word Add in but only has instructions for Word 2013 & Word 2016. Has anyone tried this with Word 2010 & found a solution? Thanks

Greetings, I have a workflow where a users can select a single or multiple users to assign to the workflow.  If multiple, I create a new line in the list so that the workflow can run against that new line.  The workflow does not start on the new list row created.  I'm guessing it does not start because the workflow running created the new line.  Is there a way to auto-trigger the workflow to run on the new row created by the current workflow? Thanks

Hello All, I'm trying to keep a record of comments made between groups as they hash out answers to questions.  The workflow is handling the prompting and gathering of the data and saving it to a standard SharePoint list.  When I go to display that data in the form it is treated like plain text.  Is there a way to imbed HTML line breaks, font color, etc. In the form fields? Thank you

Hello everyone I am trying to create a workflow that will run if the items are modified. What it needs to do is to update modified fields and the modified fields should be sent through email.  Is there a way to get the ID of each item and know if they are modified so I can have those fields emailed?

We have Classic 365 form, with a rule checking for isNullorEmpty on a Pulldown, disabling the Submit button if it is empty. And this has worked as far as I could tell. Now I see it has not worked in all cases. This pulldown, pulling filter values from a separate list, does not have a default value set, and is not saved to list column. It is only used as a filter on that separate SharePoint list. When a selection is made in the pulldown, the form pulls in filtered data from that list, into 2 Calculated Value controls, which are saved out into SharePoint columns in the current list (to be used by an approval workflow after Submit is pressed). Only after a selection is made in the pulldown, should the Submit button become active. But we have found over 20% of the forms have saved without the list pulled-in from the other list. I can only imagine that the pulldown has is holding a previous selection in cache. I have not been able to reproduce the problem, so I am at a loss as to what has c

Hi, I am getting the following error message when I try to save/publish the workflow: "Error publishing workflow. Unable to cast object of type 'System.Activities.InArgument`1[System.String]' to type 'System.Activities.InArgument`1[Microsoft.Activities.DynamicValue]'." Is this the correct way:I am running a Run If First part is when MobilePhoneRequired field is ticked (Yes/No). In my case is "Yes" Second part (Where the problem is - I think??)Field: LineManager is a Person/GroupIn Value I have put an email address from that person/group field.I think here is where the problem is. So basically Run the command IF: MobilePhoneRequired = YES and When the LineManger = adam@xxx.onmicrosoft.com Any advice please!Thank you..

Hello Team, My self Hemant Sonawane. I would like to create workflow which will send only one email for multiple task assigned to One user from sharepoint list for approval & adding comments. kindly help

Why does this work Current User (Email)!='user1@s.com'&&Current User (Email)!='user2@s.com' but this doesn't Current User (Email)!='user1@s.com'||Current User (Email)!='user2@s.com' I'm user 2 and the top example allows the control to be enabled for only us but the bottom one does not.  This is a formatting rule for a control on a form.  Thanks

Hello, I'm using O365 workflow and forms.  I have a task in the workflow and using Nintex forms (classic) for the task I would like to add an attachment control.  The users already have a comment field but there is a need to have supporting documentation added.  I find that there is an attachment control on the task list standard SharePoint list but not on the Nintex task form. Did I miss the attachment field somewhere in the nintex form controls or is there a clever work around or javascript solution that will allow me to attach a document to the task form? I then plan to run a workflow on the task list which will move the document into a repository with the original list's ID embedded in the name for lookup later. Thanks,-B

Hello All, I am a self-taught Sharepoint user. I am currently using Nintex to create forms and workflows in Sharepoint 365. I have been given a case study for a job interview that requires the creation of a submission form. One of the list fields must:    "be a type ahead field that will auto-populate for a list of names that pulls from a Sharepoint list" So far I have 1) created a contacts list where the name data sits. I have also 2) created a nintex form. I need help on how to use javascript to create the feature that allows the type ahead autocomplete feature. Please help me in a step-by-step way if possible. I have read some posts on here but they havent been too clear in understanding. I am very new to javascript so please be gentile. Thank you.
