Integrating K2 with Exchange Online and using OAuth

Hello communityI am trying to configure K2 against Exchange Online with OAuth according to the article K2 and upcoming changes to Exchange Online authentication. I have a server in on-prem with AD only, no integration with AAD. I have tried K2 blackpearl 4.7 and K2 Five 5.5, both with the latest updates. I just want to send mails from K2 directly to Exchange Online and maybe try SmartActions. I think there are a few inaccuracies in the article, but I've gotten past some of them, but I think I have two problems near the end: 1. a simple test workflow fails to send a notification in the Task step, with a message:"Error","General","1","GeneralErrorMessage","EwsMessageDestination","1 The From Adress is empty or missing","anonymous","0.0.0.0","SRV03:C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlHost ServerBin","1233361","92a69cd253b043dea89695787f260c1a","""Error","MessageBus","61007","SendMessageException","MessageBusRuntime","61007 Permanent failure sending message New Task: System.Exception: No dest

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?

How to show/hide a panel based off of a people control?

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.

In-place OS Upgrade Windows Server 2012R2 to 2019

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?

Auto Approve Future Tasks with duplicate approver

Hi,I previously made this post in K2 Blackpearl site but I think here is much more appropriate! Mods I’m not too sure how to delete a topic!We’ve got a large Approval workflow for requests that spans across multiple departments. We’ve had instances where  approver A (Line manager) is the same as a future departmental approver. Is it possible to configure it where if Approver A has seen it once, it will auto approve future tasks he is allocated if by the chance they are also a departmental approver? Many thanks!
