How to create a new document library using Nintex workflow for SharePoint online. Is there any action in Nintex workflow which will take care of creating custom document library.

Hi Sometimes, you just can't make stuff up! On Friday, I successfully demoed to the team my latest version of my Request Form and supporting Workflow.   The form as has couple of List Lookups which allow the requester to select multiple names, filtered by the previous List Lookup selection. Assuming I get the correct Regex Expression Action syntax, I can extract each name from the second List Lookup and Assign Tasks or send and send emails. I connect the ID of the second Lookup List to a List item Text Column which stores the string  value this in this format: 3;Daniel Westerdale;#7;Donald Duck On Tuesday my client decided they wanted both the List Lookups to be single value  select and straight way my workflow starting terminating prematurely .  Further investigation seems to suggest some sort of flaw in the way a single select List lookup passes its value to connected Text List column. Indeed, It seems to truncate the string so it only stores the number prefix. Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All, This should be a simple thing to do, but I'm having issues. Venturing into the world of Nintex for O365 and having issues with the Approvers Comments. I have a task that completes successfully, I store the ID from the task in variable (turns out this is a GUID not the list ID) and then using this to do a lookup and and return "Approver Comments". Not getting anything returned in the query. I've edited the form using a Nintex form and checked the controls and it seems the "Comments" field is connected to a column called "Comments" (not "Approver Comments"). "Approver Comments" is not available to connect to from the form designer. And in my List query, there is no column called "Comments" to select.Confused.

Hi, I used a service account in one of the Office 365 action items. It gave me the following error on my 'history' action Identity Client Runtime Library (IDCRL) did not get a response from the Login server The workflow is also hanging with this error: RequestorId: 3f28b335-838a-7221-0000-000000000000. Details: ServiceNoResponse I want to know if this is on Nintex side or Office 365/SharePoint online side or just something wrong with the service account? Any help is appreciated!

Does the foreach loop work differently in office 365 to on premise. I'm using a query list action and storing the result in a collection. When I loop around the collection I cant seem to get a hold of the values stored in the output value of the foreach action. I have done this many time in on premise and it has worked fine. I can see the collection has values when I log the collection in the workflow history.

Hello, can someone confirm that Nintex for Office 365 and Workflow Cloud with all their applications (workflow, forms etc.) will work with on prem Exchange 2016?  I only found this hint Nintex Workflow Compatibility with Exchange 2016 - Nintex Knowledge Base but I think it's not based on Nintex for O365. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, I am trying to publish a workflow and all I get is a huge error stating: Nintex Workflow for Office 365Error publishing workflow. Workflow XAML failed validation due to the following errors: The private implementation of activity '1: DynamicActivity' has the following validation error: Value for a required activity argument 'Value' was not supplied.I have read Aaron Labiosa's blog post https://community.nintex.com/community/support/blog/2014/10/13/workflow-xaml-failed-validation-due-to-the-following-erro…  and I was wondering if there's a way to solve this... as his post was written in 2014. Thank you,Adriana 

I have a webrequest to put the content to a new text file on SP document library. But the newline character when missing. Anyone have any idea? (please see the attachment image for more info. TQ.

I'm embarrased to say how many hours I have now spent trying to fix this. In my efforts to make things look pretty, I deleted the {task:title} hyperlink in the assign a task action.  I then went to recreate it with something a little better but there seems to be absolutely no way to recreate this link. One would think that you could just select task title in the advanced lookup <<BUZZ>> try againSelecting the URL from advanced lookup is correct but I have yet to find the secret sauce to make it linkable. Oh how I miss on prem...Anyone else run into this issue and have a solution?  I'm running a new test now, I'll see if it works.  So slow to save and test the workflow over and over..

I am trying to activate and deactivate nintex workfow for 365 feature in SharePoint Online. Can somebody help me how to implement this? I understand powershell can be used as per URL  but I believe this is for on-prem, is same possible in SharePoint online?

Recently, I have been hitting more and more throttling related errors in SharePoint Online ... finding workflows stuck in Suspended state, and unable to continue due to the density of demands on the workflow environment (probably).It's explained to some extent here:How to: Avoid getting throttled or blocked in SharePoint OnlineBut I'd really like to know what strategies we could employ when building workflows to avoid this pitfall. I have been adding 1 minute pauses (or longer, as required) when workflows have become suspended. But always feel that this should only really be a remedial solution.Is there any specific advice we could get with the following types of actions to help reduce their impact:1. Assigning Approval tasks2. Updating List Items3. Using List Lookups to set Workflow Variables or list item values4. Parallel actions....anything else that could overload the system.

I have a workflow that has worked with no issues for many months. Recently I have needed to add some extra rules on the approval forms, but nothing complicated. Now the 7 parallel approvals are assigned, and can be input OK => all have status completed in the workflow status screen.But, the workflow goes into suspended mode with a throttling error and does not move on to the next steps in the workflow, which is updating the main form with the approvals. I am not convinced that removing the new rules (which only hide controls) would have any effect. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix or work around this?

Hello,I have a task that really is just a confirmation.  I want to set a default answer to the task so that the user does not need to set it.  I have tried setting the default value but that does not work.  How can I have the outcome preselected? 

Hello,Is there a way to set a list lookup on a nintex form to be required? 

Nintex community, I need your help.  I am building a form where my users want to copy a list of data (Container Number column and Quantity column) and paste it into a Nintex Form.  The quantity data would sum up into a bound field at the top (or bottom).  So my question is, is there a way to copy Excel data (columns and rows) and paste it into a Nintex form table?  Probably within a repeating section so my rows can expand based on a varying amount of containers.

Hi, We are using Nintex workflow for O365 for buildning Case Management System.In some stage of the production we found that the workflow was malfounctioning and thats whey we modified it.Now,  how can we use the new version of the flow on an item that was running the old version already.

Hello,I am having 5 list lookup fields and based on the priority if I select any of the list lookup fields there are 10-15 other calculated fields below them which will fetch the values from the list.  Now the issue I am facing as per the requirement is that if i am selecting any of the list lookup fields (the remaining 4 which are not selected) should be made as selected if there are any values for them at runtime.  From the above image, if i select the first list lookup field which is in red color, I want to make the other green list look up fields to be selected if there is any value corresponding to the first one. Please let me know how to acheive this one.   

I have just started working Office 365 and would like some help developing a simple review/approval workflow which I have attached below. Would anyone be able to help me out with this? I have worked with Nintex on SharePoint 2013 but I'm not finding my bearings on this new environment. Please help? I don't know if this is an easy task but I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

Hello!  I am trying to get multiple values (value1 and value2) from a multichoice field in my form and I'm using the action Office 365 Create List Item or Document Set in my workflow. However, I am getting this error:"Value 'value1, value2' for field '[FieldName]' type 'MultiChoice' is not found."  It works if I only choose one from the multichoice field but I am getting the error whenever I choose two or more. I already have set it to be delimited by comma and I have set the field type as MultiChoice that's why I have no idea why I'm getting this error. Is there a way for me to fix this? Thank you for your response! 

I have some forms where I need to collect Customer Name and Customer ID from users.  Right now they are manually entered open text fields. We have multiple thousands + of potential customers to choose from. We are using the new Responsive Nintex forms.  Does anyone have any recommendations on making this kind of selection better than just manual (specifically for the new responsive forms)?

I  Have a request to  create an approval workflow from a subfolder in a document Library.Is this possible? From what I am seeing the workflow  would run on all the folders in the Library. Is there a way to do this, so the workflow would only run on items added to the subfolder?

Hello, Is there a way of uploading documents into SharePoint using a Nintex Workflow We have a document Library which we want to allow certain members to upload, a workflow will then send it to a line manager for approval on approval another notification is sent for final approval by Administrators of SharePoint and the document is Published at this point. The document Library has Metadata, not sure on how to handle this at the moment. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Kind regards Claire Allen

Hello Nintex forum, We have Nintex forms for O365, and i cant open the web editor with the error message the same image missing. Its look a bit strange, because i cant do anything, all buttons are frozen. Same behavior in IE and ChromeWhat can i do?

We have an issue in our organization where we have people using SignUp Genius, Formstack, etc and they're all over the place. We're trying to do proof of concept for getting these things consolidated and consistent in SharePoint. We were able to meet the requirement for food signups where there can be a cap on the number of hotodog signups, but we're hung up on another requirement. Annually, we have a Halloween party and there is a costume competition. A survey is sent out after with pics of all the costumes and you pick your favorite. Is there a way to neatly have an image slider or gallery displayed on a Nintex form? I know we could manually embed each image on the form, but we'd like this to be quicker and easier for users, otherwise they're not going to use it, and it needs to keep at least close functionality or they also won't use it.
