How to set the Workflow Status column value via powershell/Nintex WF

hi We have a list on which a workflow  named “Approve Items” has already run. For some of the items in this list, the column “Approve items” is blank though the WF has run. I can even see the workflow history and the WF is there along with rest of details.  Its just that link which takes the user from List View to the Workflow history which is blank.I want to somehow updated this column ( Approve items) on these selected items with the link . Already tried this PS script but it does not seem to make any change to the column.  Any idea on how to achieve this?  Also, it seem the column added by WF is of the type WorkFlowStatus and not really a hyperlink column.---------------------------------PS-----------------------------Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell $webUrl = "https://WEBURL"$nintexWFlist = "NintexWorkflowHistory"$cntrListName = "Main List on Which WF is Running"$web = get-spweb $webUrl$cntrList = $web.Lists[$cntrListName]$ListItem = $cntrList.Items | Where {$_["ID"] -e

How to change default security label to AAD when redirecting

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to change the default security label when redirecting a task/looking up users in K2 management.Currently it is set to K2 for me and I was wondering if I could change this to AAD as that is what my users use to login to K2. When users redirect a task from their task inbox in the workspace the default label is AAD so this is working no issues.When some workflow admins are redirecting a task from K2 managment they are forgetting to change the label to AAD so I was wondering if I could make the security label AAD by default.Attached are screenshots of where K2 is the default label.

Digital Signature Control doesn't work in anonymous form

We use a Digital Signature Control in our forms. It works fine with authenticated users, but doesn't work in anonymous form on mobile devices. Is there any solution for this? Or maybe there is another control for digital signature (draw on a canvas via mouse and touch) for anonymous?

How to serialize or deserialize an xml string in K2 five?

I have created a REST api service broker in K2 five. One of the api returns an xml string. Is there any way to deserialize it in K2 five and get the tags and the values which I am interested in? I tried looking for ways in K2 five but could not understand if we need to create a customized smartobject and somehow use it for deserialization. But even then how will it be dynamically generated? Also, if I have a view containing - let say, name and number. Given an xml schema, can it be serialized into xml string and use in the body of PUT api.

post to REST service with json array

hi,I have a REST service which needs an json array as an input. Like:{ "array" : [ { "value1" : "abc", "value2": 1.00 }, { "value1" : "def", "value2": 2.00 } ]}The SmartObjects method gets an Memo input parameter (requestarray). I think I have to expose this input parameter as a list with the serialize list function of the requestarray.I know how to deserialize response values, but I couldn't figure out how to do it on the input side. Is there a tutorial somewhere?

Endpoints Webservice Error - 417 Expectation Failed

Hi, I've created a Endpoints Webservice instance pointing to a wsdl and can successfully connect. I've also created a basic SmartObject in order to test the service. However, when I try execute the SmartObject method, I get a HTTP "417 Expectation Failed" error straight away. Having done a little reading, I tried to amend the web config so as not to send the Expect: 100-Continue header, but this has seemed to make no difference. Has anyone else run into this issue before? Any ideas?
