HI, we are preparing to shift from Nintex on premise “classic” to K2 5. While preparing for this we noticed that sharepont multiline koloms filled by Nintex “classic” are displayed in k2 including html coding, see below. Does anybody have a solution for this?Is a conversion necessary? <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"><span style="line-height:107%;font-family:calibri, sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;">GWHLP </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"><span style="line-height:107%;font-family:calibri, sans-serif;">ASSISTERENDE VAARDIGHEDEN</span>​</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">OSEG</span></p&

Hello,While testing our upgrade to 5.9 (FP4), we have noticed that dropdown lists no longer jump to an option when the first letter is typed. For example, if we had a list of US States, in previous versions typing ‘H’ would jump straight to Hawaii. In 5.9 it seems to only select the first ‘blank’ option. Is this by design or is it a bug?

  There is no way to re-size it, and yes the browser is full screen…. 

Can you create an OOF that excludes certain workflow processes? I have sensitive financial information on a certain workflows where OOF should not be applicable.I note there is an exception feature, but that requires to nominate another person to delegate the task to - and won’t allow the original FQN.Any suggestions? And oh, the OOF needs to be created automatically (via a workflow) using smartobjects (or any other means).

Hello All, How to use item permission in k2 five workflow with SP library. Please let me know how to accomplish this.I don't want to use any legacy workflow designer. ThanksSurya  

We are using K2 SmartObject with Authentication Mode configured as OAuth in K2 5.4 FP23.The issue is that when a user executes the SmartObject via a SmartForm for the first time, the system always redirects the user to the OAuth authorize URL and requires the user to manually provide consent.We would like to know if there is a way to prevent this first-time redirect and consent prompt.Is there any configuration or approach (e.g., admin pre-consent, service account configuration, or token pre-authorization) that would allow users to execute the SmartObject without being redirected to the authorize URL on first use?Our goal is to avoid requiring each end user to manually grant consent when accessing the SmartObject for the first time.Environment: K2 Version: 5.4 FP23 Authentication Mode: OAuth SmartObject executed via SmartForm

Hi,With the closure of EWS later this year, what are K2 doing to address this issue?We have EWS utilised throughout our Workflows for approvals etc.I had a K2 Support ticket in last year (October 2025) asking about this the answer was that the Product team is aware and there will be a solution to this. We need to plan for whatever solution K2 provide, but with the October 2026 deadline and no further news from K2, I’d like to start looking into this sooner than later.Any other customers in the same boat? Thanks

Hi,Has anyone experienced issues where a form won’t load. It’s stuck with the Nintext Green Spinner of doom and won’t go beyond that.Restarted the k2 service and iis and still the same issue. Any ideas folks? 

For a while now we have been battling a problem with PDF rendering issues, the PDFs show empty boxes, irregular text formatting and also display of hidden controls and fields on the PDFs.We use the SaveAsPDF control on forms, then attach and send the PDF via emails.When the user opens the PDF. they see that the PDF rendering is misaligned and show empty boxes like this:These below should be hidden: We have a workaround which is to do a k2 service restart and iis reset, this fixes the issue for around 1-3 hours and PDFs are fine, but then the PDFs go back to be as above.We have a ticket in with Nintex for this, but just wondering if anyone else has come across this? I’ve searched the forum and checked pdf converter permissions, security etc etc. Added a pdfconverter.warmup delay in the k2hostserver.exe.config and also Installed service/fix packs. Any suggestions from the community would be appreciated.Kind Regards,
