Error 500 in Document Creation Step when Lookup results from SP list in PDF file name

Hi all, I have a Lookup to a sharepoint list of names. I can pass the selected name to the document tagger and to an email just fine. If I include it in the file name of a document generation the flow fails on error 500. 500 - {"requestId":"5f45b705e4b097cd39316557","message":"Internal failure while handling request"}Instance ID: de5d3181-adaa-405c-b769-f51c92088310_1_1 Checking the instance details I see a " " after the selected name. This is not coming through in the email or tagged document. But I'm wondering if maybe this element is somehow getting into the 'create pdf' step. PDF's can't have a """ in the name so that could be causing the error if that's what's happening. My list doesn't have after the names so I'm guessing this is some normal aspect of a lookup. Wondering why I can't find anyone else with the issue though.

2 Decimal Places for NWC Workflow Variable?

In NWC, if I have a decimal variable that I want to display two decimal places, I cannot. Am I missing something? Ex: if the value is 1.00 and I output that value, it comes out as 1.0 Setting the "Default Value" setting to 0.00 reverts to 0.0 on save and there is no Currency type.

Date value changes from Workflow into Task Form?

Hello, I have a component workflow that takes a date/datetime value from Salesforce and enters the date into a task form. The date in the form is different than the date in the workflow, and I am wondering how I can fix that. Example: In the workflow, if I use log to instance details, I can see that the date value is for example "2020-05-05." (May 5th, 2020). However, in the task form, this date will appear on a date form field as May 4th, 2020. And if I show the time on the form control, it will be May 4th, 2020 6:00pm. 2 screenshots:

Workflow in an iframe with URL parameter

Hi, We are using Nintex Workflow embedded in our website using the iframe code it gives when we publish the workflow. It works well. However, we would like to pass a URL parameter to it from the parent window (the website page).How can we do this as when I tried to pass the URL parameter using simple javascript like the below doesn't work.It doesn't even seem to call the onload function. When I remove the script tag for the ntx-embed-iframe.js, it does call the function.Please help.<body onload="setTheId()"> <script src="https://sample.workflowcloud.com/embedform/iframe/ntx-embed-iframe.js" data-id="ntxFormContainer-sampleworkflowid"></script> <iframe id="ntxFormContainer-sampleworkflowid" scrolling="no" style="width:100%; border:none;" height="100%" src="https://sampleworkflowid.workflowcloud.com/embedform/iframe?id=sampleworkflowid"> </iframe> <script> function setTheId() { alert('in the function'); var loc = window.loc

NWC default storage Tab missing

This maybe too stupid a question to ask - I have just logged into a new customer Tenant but i do not seem to have the ability to create a 'Default Storage Location'. The option is missing from the Dashboard.I've confirmed it's there in my dev environment, it's been a while since starting from scratch and i guess i'm missing something very obvious.Has anyone come across this before?. Thanks Marc

Do Private Connectors (xtensions) require a response in a particular format?

I have created a very simple node.js application which starts a server listening on port 3000. It has one GET method with no authentication and no parameters required. When i run this and call it through the browser i get the expect response. I have created a swagger file for my application. When i call it through Postman i get the expected response and statuscode 200. All good. I have then imported the swagger file into Nintex to create a private connector. It imports without issue. When i run this connector as a step in a workflow I get Internal Server Error { "statusCode": 500, "message": "Internal server error", "activityId": "94f886a4-54dc-4a9c-a145-628c8fdd125d" }. Do i have to format the response from my node.js application in a certain way for it to work properly in a workflow?

NWC - Cannot Respond to All Tasks

The NWC help page on tasks (https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nwc/Content/Dashboard/Tasks.htm) specifically states that NWC administrators can respond to other assignees' tasks (see "Respond to Tasks", section 1b). The exact wording of the section is "if you want to view and respond to any active tasks, click All active tasks" However, there is no response / completion option on my Tasks dashboard (other than the "My Tasks" tab). Does anyone know what is wrong? I would be most grateful if someone can shine some light on the problem.

Looking for the correct syntax for the Path Expression in the Query JSON action

I cannot figure out what the correct syntax should be for the path expression in the Query JSON action.This is my sample data: When I parse the userCreated it returns nicely John into my variable: But this is the one I actually need: The id of the first element of mediaItems. So I use mediaItems/(0)/id: But this returns an error: Questions:What is the right syntax? Where is this explained/described?

Box - Getting File ID of Generated Document from Form after uploaded to Box

I am trying to create a simple workflow kicked off by a Form event in NWC. The form captures a few values like name/email/date which are set to variables, and then are used to generate a document which is then uploaded to a Box Folder. This part is working.... For the next step, I want to reference that file that was just generated and uploaded to Box and then set metadata on it. Where I'm stuck is that to take an action on a file in Box, I need to fetch the file ID, however the previous Generate Document step does not appear to save the newly created Doc's ID as a variable. How do I reference the created file that was just uploaded to Box so I can perform a Box API action like updating it's metadata?

Text Mask in Workflow not appearing

In the newest version of Nintex Workflow I am trying to add a text mask to a short text box for a phone number e.g. (999) (999 - 9999) However it seems that this feature has disappeared from the editing options. Any way to add in a text mask now?

Exporting file to network drive with NWC

I have an approval workflow that created multiple documents and saves them out to Dropbox for Business. The files route as required, but my last step is to get those documents into another repository that is provided by our core vendor. That vendor does not have an API (Synergy for JHA) to connect with. Our only option is to drop them to a network drive and import them using a bot. My issue is how do I get the documents from Dropbox for Business to a network drive? I know Nintex is working on connecting network drives to NWC, but that will not be ready in time for my go live. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I could export to a SharePoint list, then grab from there with a bot, but there has to be a more streamline way to do this. I'm already at 168 actions and the workflow is starting to have other issues.

Obtaining the key after a MySQL insert

I am trying to obtain the key value of an field after a MySQL insert command in Nintex Cloud For example, I might run a mysql command INSERT INTO mytable (firstname,lastname) VALUES('John','Doe') and mytable contains the columns ID, firstname, lastname. Where ID is an autoincremented, key field. How can I reliably retrieve the value of ID for this insert command? I cannot run a separate SELECT last_insert_id() command because Nintex connects different instances of the workflow with the same connection. I have tried this and it resulted in duplicate keys.

Dynamic form options for drop-downs

Hi, Is it not possible to create a form with dynamic options in the dropdowns based on certain criteria.For example; i have a dropdown with 20 different options. When selecting one of these the options of another dropdown should change accordingly. I realize that i could create 20 new groups and make them visible according to the users selection. However, that just seems to tedious and frankly not that dynamic. Am i missing something here?Additionally i am wondering why it is not possible to dynamically update the options in the forms without manually doing it - here i mean it should be possible to extract data through API requests daily for example.
