Check if workflow was started manually, or limit who can start a workflow manually

I have a need to determine, within a list workflow, whether it was started as a result of a new list item being created, or was started manually by a user. Alternatively, a way to restrict who can manually start a workflow, while still allowing workflows to trigger on item creation for any user, would work. My list form does a lot of upfront validation, including whether the user is authorized to perform this particular action.In some scenarios the workflow will end in a condition where an administrator is required to correct data in a LOB system, and then run the workflow manually to complete the action. Only an Administrator should be able to trigger the workflow manually.

Workflow started by conditional start runs under the Nintex App account

I can see why workflows run under the Nintex App account. The Nintex app notices a change in the item and in turn manually kicks off the workflow. But this has some disadvantages and may cause problems. List items and documents that are updated by the workflow will be "changed by" the app account instead of the initiator. But the initiator workflow context variable has the user that caused the workflow to start. So when i log the value of the initiator variable in the history log it shows the person that initiated the workflow. Another issue is that the App account doesn't have enough rights to read members of a group. Sure, i can fix this by lowering the security on that group but we don't always want that. Anyone else ran into this? I'm curious to know if there are workarounds and if there are other issues that we should take into account.

Are tasks deleted when action is no longer required?

I use the "Start a Task Process" action to send an approval task to three people.  The action is configured to complete when the first response is received.This creates three tasks in the "Workflow Task List".  Let's just say the IDs  for the task items are:339233933394When I approve one of the three tasks, let's say its 3393, the other two tasks are deleted from the "Workflow Tasks" list.3392 - Deleted from the list.3393 - Complete3394 - Deleted from the list That means that if the other two approvers attempt to follow the link to the task they were assigned, perhaps they got into the office late or were busy, they get an error indicating the item was deleted.Is this normal behavior? If so, is there a more graceful way of handling the link to the deleted task?Chris

365 query list with variable in filter not working

Hi,I have a list with text values. I use this list in a ForEach loop and store the Title value in a variable.I then use the 365 query list and want to filter records where a choice field equals that variable. If I write out the filter value in the CAML as text, I get a result. If I use the variable instead, I get 0 results.  What am I doing wrong? Note that the Owner Role is a Choice field in the list I want to filter. I attach a screenshot of the CAML from Notepad++. The top CAML works fine, but the bottom CAML does not. How can I post CAML code here?

Revert to Published Version of Form

Hi, I have a Nintex form that I have published, and then changed and saved (not published) on the request of the client. They then came back to me and said they'd like to rethink again and to not do any more work and leave it as it is. So therefore I need to discard my saved version and just use revert to the Published version. Is there a way of reverting the form designer back to the currently published version rather than the saved version? I appreciate there is no version control, but if you can't do that, I'd be surprised. Thanks

Autopopulate date/time field based on another date/time field

Hello everyone! I am working on a form and I need to autopopulate fields based on another fields, I have done it on simple text fields but I don't know how to do it on date/time fields. I need to autopopulate a date/time field based on another date/time field so that they will have the same value.  Do you have any idea on how I can implement this? Thank you!

Duplicate data into another form on save and duplicate button click

What is the script or way to perform a "Submit and Duplicate " action on my form. What I want to do is that if user hits "Submit and Duplicate" after the item's saved, form still remains opened (new form) and some values from the saved form must be transferred to the new one. Guess this should be done using JavaScript but can't figure that out. How can it be done? I can't figure out the code or workflow for it.duplicatenintexformsnintex jquerynintexworkflow

Webpart Redirect URL for 365

When using the forms webpart to embed a form in a page, there is a redirect URL. I don't really want to send the user anywhere, and having the redirect url set as the current URL of the page makes the page reload and doesn't really give the user confirmation of their submission. I'd like to have the form just show a little "thanks for your submission" type message within the frame on the page. I did add a confirmation message to the "Save" button which pops up at the top of the page, but then the page still reloads. I see that there is a "Confirmation Page" setting for On-Prem, but don't see anything comparable for 365. Am I missing something?

How can I customize a content type with Nintex Forms

In other versions of Nintex Forms it was possible to  customize  a content type's form by going the Content Type Settings > Eddit Form with Nintex forms but I don't see that option on the O365 version. I have added the App "Nintex Forms for O365, am I missing anything else?Note that this  is not a list based form, it is just a content type.

Pause for Duration appears not to be pausing?

In my workflow I have a "pause for duration" within a "loop." The specific pause is 5 minutes.I used a "run if" so that it only happens every 40 items. I noticed in my workflow history that the workflow did not pause as expected. I added a log to check within the run if statement.  Any ideas why it's skipping the pause? I attached snapshots of my workflow as well as the workflow history from a specific instance.

Is it possible to have a search bar in nintex form?

Hello everyone, I am working on a form and I am thinking, is it possible to have a search bar in the nintex form instead of using the choice control? Because I have more than 20 choices and the dropdown for the choice control is too long. Has anybody achieved this or any idea on how to do this? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Switch content types in Nintex form

If the SharePoint list/library is associated with multiple content types then SharePoint out-of-the-box edit forms provide provision to switch to different content types. Attached a screen shot for the same in case I am not clear.  However, Nintex form requires to be created for every content type. Nintex form in edit mode does not list the content types available in the list/library unlike the SharePoint list/library edit forms. Thereby, we cannot modify the content type using Nintex form. I require this in upload document scenario where document gets associated with default content type and I would like to switch to different content type but Nintex form does not list them. Please suggest any solutions if you have come across this situation.
