We have many folders being copied into an SP online document library - circa 9000 per day. Each folder contains an average of 10 files. This currently breaks the 5000 list query control limit when converting these folders and files into document sets. I'm thinking about creating multiple document libraries to round robin the incoming folders to reduce the data in each library, allowing the list query control to work correctly on each library. This means creating circa 20 doc libraries to accommodate the daily incoming data. Anyone able to provide any experience of performing a round robin workflow on data drop library to move 1st folder to library 1, 2nd folder to library 2 ------- 21st folder to library 1? Thanks

Hello, I'm trying to copy list attachments to a document library.  I'm using Vadim's example @ Nintex Workflow for Office 365 - Copy Attachments to Document Library - Vadim Tabakman  It is not working for me so I have emails being sent to me to try to track down the issue.  I seem to never get a count on the attachments.  the web response code is "OK" I copied the exact string I'm sending to the email as well.  this is it: tempstring =https://MyTenant.sharepoint.com/org/legal/compliance/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('NewLaw')/Items/(98)/AttachmentFiles the list: The workflow   For some reason it just will not work.  Any ideas?

I want to return all tweets from a specified user, but I can't figure out how to search for that.

I installed both forms & workflow apps to a list. I have created the forms & workflow. Now I don't want anyone changing the form or workflow by clicking on the nintex icons and messing around. Does anyone have a good way of preventing that? Thanks!

I have this ruleNeworExisting=="New" on my form and if it is TRUE it should disable the control.  It doesn't work. I use this on multiple other forms and works fine.  Is this a bug?  I assume rules are evaluated on the form so it should not matter if Nintex's services are up or not correct.  Any help with this infuriating issue would be great

Hi all! I have a wired problem. I am using custom includes, both for CSS and JS in my Nintex Form. I tested it under three browsers: Chrome, IE11 and Edge, using three different accounts and two different computers. The form works just fine.However my client has a problem - no custom includes are loaded on his side. There are no errors in the console too.I have moved the files from the "Site Assets" library to a custom one. I checked that it doesn't require checking in the content. What is even more interesting is the fact, that the images from that library are loaded on the form just fine.  Anyway on a specific client's computer these two includes are still not being included...  I saw people post similar questions but they all ended in simple solutions. None of them worked for me so far.  Anyone faced similar issue? Does anyone know a solution? Regards, Tomasz 

I am working in a SharePoint 2016 environment with Nintex 2016. I have credentials for an account with full control that are being used in a web service call but get 401 UNAUTHORIZED as the response. What is the minimum permission level required for the credentials to be able to run a web service call? Are there different permission levels required for different web service calls? 

I have a nintex workflow that read a collection and sent one email for each item. For each element in this collection, have to read a item in other list where obtains the recipients of this emails.In the 4th iteracction the workflow is suspended and show the following error: System.Net.WebException: Exception encountered while processing the HTTP request. Exception details: 'HttpClient.SendAsync task was canceled. TraceActivityId=cc9dc52b-1b8e-dafa-bcf0-0097770175f0'.at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.AsyncResult.End[TAsyncResult](IAsyncResult result)at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.HostedHttpExtension.HttpRequestWorkItem.HttpRequestWorkItemAsyncResult.End(IAsyncResult result, Int32& responseCode)at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.HostedHttpExtension.HttpRequestWorkItem.OnEndComplete(ScheduledWorkItemContext context, IAsyncResult result)

I have the free Adobe reader, but not the full app. Will the Adobe Sign task still work in Nintex?

I've built a Nintex WF that's very simple and has three emails. At first it worked fine, all emails were firing and working as expected, then they stopped. I tried everything and finally decided to build another WF just in case something was corrupted in the first one. Again, the new workflow worked great for about two hours, then the emails stopped, some came in more than an hour later and then they stopped coming at all. I've read where some users think it's O365 not working correctly. I think this started happening when the last "soft" update was pushed out about a month ago. Anyway, what can I do? We just purchased the Nintex (WF and Forms) about a year ago and we're up for renewal in April. If I can't get these WFs running smoothly on a consistent basis, we'll have to look elsewhere for another solution. I really like Nintex and would hate to have to give it up! Gail

Hi,I have some difficulties with the following- How can I set a rule in Nintex forms so when I enter a value in "Cost" field and without ticking the box VAT.  The value of the  Cost field should appear in "Total"- And when i tick the VAT box it should calculate the Cost + VAT in the Total field (or do i need somehow a calculated value instead of Total field) Any help please!Regards,.Adam  

In SharePoint, the field is already configured as a calculated date with this formula: =Today+6-WEEKDAY(Today+4)That works in the standard edit mode when adding a item, but that does not work in Nintex (Expression)

Hello, I'm trying to validate that a user enters a URL in a text field.  I am trying to use regex validation with the following string. ^(http://www.|https://www.|http://|https://)?[a-z0-9]+([-.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*.[a-z]{2,5}(:[0-9]{1,5})?(/.*)?$ It works on a regex tester but not on the form.  Is there something I need to do to use it on the form, or is the pattern bumpkis? Thanks for your help!   

I have a workflow that copies a line item from one library to another, then deletes the original.  For some reason, whenever the line item beng copied has a description filled out, the copied description has all of the HTML Syntax visible.  Nothing else I've done causes this bug, and the workflow itself seems to work just fine, it's just this odd bug of it copying too much.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

[{"OData__Comments":"This information is not enough"}] regular expression to get "This information is not enough"

I have over 50 choice columns with Yes/No values. This list has over 15,000 items. I am trying to count the total numbers of "Yes" values from these choice columns and display top 10 columns that has Yes values. How can i do this? I am thinking query list with filter "Yes" for columns, but it will be 50 filters. Then use for each and collection operation to count and sort then display as html table in email?

Maybe this is an answered question and I'm not looking for it correctly, but I want to understand if there is a method to report out all workflows running on a list, and those that have been suspended and/or terminated, reporting back my list ID.

I am trying to place HTML content on the Nintex form O365. This is working for me using any of these controls like Label control, Multiline control or Richtext. This is done using Javascript code behind. After binding the HTML data, the content in the control is just spilling out and overlapping with other controls down below. Though controls below this are expected to realign and move down, but they are not. Other controls just stay in same place. (screen shot attached) These are the solutions that i have tried, but did not work1. Set resize run time2. Place the control within Panel 3. Register the code in these events NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady and RegisterBeforeReady Please suggest any solutions which you have come across to solve this problem.  If there are better ways to place html content on screen, kindly suggest.

Hi All, I have a request for a form that I will build in Nintex. The business has given me a wire frame design and I am attempting to create the form based on their design . Does anyone know how to apply CSS to make it look like that image attached?Is this even possible? Any Help would be greatly appreciated!  Paul G

Hello, I've created a form for logging work hours where people enter the time they've spent on various tasks. It uses a repeating section - they create a new instance for each day. The fields are all decimal and have a default value of 0. When you create a new instance of the form this is all fine - each instance of the fields has them all set to 0 until the user replaces that with another value. However if you save and close the form and then return to add another instance of the repeating section all the fields on the new section are empty - they don't have the 0 in them.Is there a way to make the fields contain 0?

Hi, I have a rather large workflow and I am getting the following error. I can't seem to pin point the error as the file it is mentioning is fine! Any help is appreciated! Error: 61e4f3f9-30ed-e5b0-0000-000000000000. Details: System.Activities.Statements.WorkflowTerminatedException: Error Code: -1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException, Message: The expression "FileLeafRef eq 'Filename.xlsx'" is not valid.

I need to create a rule in the task form checking if a current user is a task assignee (Assigned To task column). I'm  using Nintex workflows for O365. Current rule is not working:AssignedTo==Current User (Login ID) Is it possible to make a form Read Only if the current user is not an Assigned To user?

It seems like the only thing you can do is send someone with contributor rights a link to the task list or workflow information page and have them click on the pending task to complete it and then it doesn't record the new person that approved it. Is there a better way. Keep in mind the current user is not available to forward the email.

Greetings, I am attempting to create a workflow in SharePoint online that requires either a RUN IF or CONDITIONAL BRANCH which checks a multi-select choice field for a specific choice before acting upon it. However, the expression for both RUN IF and CONDITIONAL BRANCH does not give the option for CONTAINS for Choice Fields but rather EQUALS and NOT EQUALS. I recalled that Nintex onprem had this option.  Thanks,Tam

I am using a regular expression that I verified working in a few online testers. I have a screenshot below. It will never let me pass validation. I even tried simplifying. Seems like nothing will work. I found this on the forum: ‌And I did try pasting in notepad first and then back into nintex. Still won't work.
