Hello communityI am trying to configure K2 against Exchange Online with OAuth according to the article K2 and upcoming changes to Exchange Online authentication.

Hello everyone, I’m following this guide How To: Integrate K2 and UiPath | Community (nintex.com) but i’m not getting it to work when i create a service instance using the oauth i created. I have tried with the swagger file that is provided in the guide and also getting the swagger file from my uipath on prem by going to baseurl/swagger/index and that didn’t work aswell.  Nothing seems to work for me and i’m stuck. Is there any other way to integrate the two?

I have created a form that will be filled out by an employee. This employee will enter in all of the required info then using a people control they will choose the director. After submission an edit form link will be emailed to the director. I am trying to show this director panel if the person editing the form is the director that was chosen. If they are not the director (the form has other panels that are hidden based on SharePoint groups) then this director panel should be hidden. How can I add  formatting or validation rule to accomplish this? I am using Nintex with SharePoint 2016 on Prem.

Does anyone have experience in doing an in-place upgrade of Windows Server from 2012R2 to 2019 on their SQL box? We have not touched DB encryption at all and are concerned that there may be issues in decrypting the data after the OS upgrade. Is encryption performed by a machine key and would this change during an OS upgrade?
