Office 365 Workflow Not Starting Automatically

Hello,I have two lists - List A and List B.  Both lists have workflows configured so that they will start automatically when a new item is created.  If I click the New button and create a list item this works as expected  on both lists (the workflow starts). However - the workflow on List A has a step where it creates an item in List B.  The creation of the item works as expected but the workflow on List B never starts. Anyone have any thoughts about why the workflow on List B starts when you create the item manually but not when the item is created by a workflow? Thanks,Matt

Unable to open Assign Task Edit Form and issues with Choice fields

Hi I have just come back from two weeks holiday to find serious issues with Nintex running in our tenant.  We are running a trial license whilst the PO is action by accounts. 1) Previously published workflows in production that reference choice fields ( check boxes) now  show errors in any Actions that references these fields in the designer. I have deleted this field in the main Form in my current workflow whilst I try to resolve this issue. 2) Perhaps more dramatic, is  I have not been able to open Assign Task Edit Form in either a new workflow or any existing workflows.  I just get the spinning wheel and after waiting 30 minutes I kind of gave up seeing my forms ;-(  Anybody seeing these issues and if so, can you please indicate any recent Office 365 or Nintex Workflow for Office 365 changes.  Daniel

Generate a .PDF version of a document on approval

Hi I can see the Document Generation Action is going to be great for pre-populating forms etc. However, when I want to auto create a pdf version of say company document on approval, then I am struggling to see how this helps.  Has anyone else found a solution this? Daniel

How to hide or disable the Save button in the top of the form?

What way or ways are there to hide the Save button that is built in at the top of the form. I have other buttons that are tied to controls on the form itself and do not want users to be able to save with the button at the top. Options suggested using CSS did not work. I beleive they were not for 365. Anyone have any success or option for doing this?Thanks,

Starting/Stopping Workflows in a Workflow takes FOREVER

I have a workflow that starts/stops a secondary approval workflow. If the user does certain actions, it needs to terminate the existing approval workflow (if running) and start/restart the approval workflow. Using the Terminate Workflow Instances and Start Workflow action (one after another) takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. What is the deal with it taking that long?  Anyone else see this type of slowness?

Get date/time in particular time zone?

Nintex for us defaults to US central time (like date/time item created). We need it to always show the date in South Africa time, which is either +7 or +8 depending on the time of year, for a Send Email action. We could do a tedious if date between this, add 7 hours or else if date between this add 8 hours, but just curious if there is a quicker and easier way to accomplish this?

Hyperlink to Form Not Opening Correct Form

So what you are supposed to be able to do is open a specific form by referencing its content id in the url string. This works....sometimes. what i typically do is something like this:https://SITENAME/Lists/Projects/EditForm.aspx?ID=ITEMID&ContentTypeId=CONTENTTYPEID This is farily straightforward, however there are times when it opens a different form. It usually appears to be the last form opened or edited... Has anyone seen this or does anyone know of a better way to create a link to a specific content type/form?Thanks,

In a site workflow, got error in query user profile action

In a site workflow, got following error in query user profile action:Error querying user profile. UserProfileDBCache_WCFLogging :: ProfileDBCacheServiceClient.GetUserData threw exceptionSystem.TimeoutException I didn't get this error consistently. The query user profile action is in a loop. Sometimes I got the error in the first record, sometimes I got it in the middle of the loop, that means there were successes in querying user profile for some records. I saw some suggestion to increase the timeout limit in sql server, I checked it and it is in 600 which is 10 minutes. I am in sharepoint 2013 on premise. Thank you in advance for any advice! Alex

"Office 365 update items" action - problems with non text values.

When updating an item in a custom list I want to copy the updates to a another custom list with exactly the same columns.I have created a simple Nintex list workflow running on modified items. As the target list is in another site collection I'm using the  "Office 365 update items" action.This goes fine with text columns, note columns, and single value option columns.But I also want to copy updates between user columns, multi value option columns and multi value lookup columns.I keep running into two scenarios - either an empty value is copied into the target column or the workflow fails to run with this message:[InputMetaDataXml] : The 'Fields to update' is invalid. Input string was not in a correct format I have tried various combinations of the available source and target data formats but haven't found the right combination yet :-( I would expect that no conversion should be necessary as the target and source columns are of the exact same type. Please point me to the authoritative g

O365 Copy document between sites

Hello,I need to move a document from the library in Site A to a library in Site B.  In addition the document needs to end up in a specific folder within the Site B library.  The Copy Document action does not allow you to specify the library.  The Office 365 send document to repository action requires the content organizer feature which negates the whole point of copying a document to another location. Anyone know how to move a document from a library in one site to a library in another site?Thanks,Matt

Workflow Timeout - Specifically Web Service Call

We are using Nintex for Office 365 and are wondering what the timeout is for calling an http web service.  We are building a service that will take about 3 minutes before responding with a status code.  Will workflow timeout before the status is returned? Thanks!

O365 - Nintex Worflow History

Hello,When I try to view the Nintex Workflow History I am receiving the following: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NintexWorkflowHistoryThis view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator. To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for this list, ask your administrator to modify the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any thoughts on how to get around this?Thanks,Matt
