Nintex for SharePoint

Why does the Nintex Workflow Schedular timer job keep getting removed from my SharePoint SE farm? It seems that after evey install of the monthly SharePoint SE CU, the Nintex Workflow Schedular timer job is no longer in the list of farm timer jobs. I have to run the command “NWAdmin.exe -o InstallTimerJob -job ScheduledWorkflows -url https://someurl.com” for each web app for it to appear in the timer job list. Why am I having to add it back to the environment every month or every so often? When is this job initially created by Nintex? Why does it keep dissappearing?

My company was recently renewing licenses for Nintex On Prem, and heard that Nintex will no longer be issuing licenses beyond April 2026. I understand that Microsoft has deprecated the workflow engine, but as far as I am aware, it will simply no longer be updated - not entirely removed from existing on prem installations. Is it the case that Nintex will stop issuing licenses for all existing installations of the Nintex Workflows On Prem product for all on premises SharePoint installations?

How do we configure a nintex onprem workflow to Get and Merge all docs attached to the form/list Item along with the PDF the DocGen will generate? The final output needs to be a single PDF of all docs (the list item form + all attachments)

I have a form that generates a QR Code in a PrintArea Panel that I am able to Print to PDF using the OOB functionality. Is there a way to have a Print Button that prints the PrintArea Panel and gives you the option to choose a printer?

I was recently doing tests which required passing some potentially long text strings between workflows. I had always worked under the assumption that the limitations of the Nintex Workflow variable type of Single line of text had a limitation of 255 characters: However, in testing this myself, discovered that there seems to be no real limit to what they can hold here is a input var in my workflow: Resulting contents of input_secretMessage once the workflow is ran with some absurd associated Data: I was unable to take a screenshot of the entire dataset, but it’s just over 7,800 Characters! My question is: Is there actually supposed to be a limit on these workflow variables or are any of the limits noted strictly regarding what SharePoint is able to consume as a Single Line of Text for one of its columns?

I have a list of PDF which has a certain naming convention. In the naming convention is the ID number that relate to that PDF. I would like to create a folder using the ID number then put the PDF within it. Please advise,

Is there a way of adding the details of fields that have changed to a notification. I know that I can set a workflow to run when specific fields details change, but was wondering if it’s possible to show in the notification what the previous value was and what it’s been changed to. FYI, I’m using on-premis version of SharePoint 2019.

I have two calendars on SharePoint 2019 on-premise and having issues with my nintex workflow: Calendar A - has all events Calendar B - should hold events that require VTC Intent is to copy all events from calendar A that requires VTC (based on a choice field not being empty) to Calendar B. I did create a variable (yes/no) for the “All Day Meeting” “Recurrence” fields. I have used query list and also setting variables for all my fields (choice, yes/no, date, etc.) and workflow continues to error. Any insight on how I can duplicate an event from one calendar to another for both recurring and non-recurring events?

I have a repeating section on my form that hosts 2 controls: a choice type and a multi line text The user is able to appropriately enter data into the repeating section, however, when the next user comes into the form, there is no data saved into the repeating section.

I am having an issue with the new responsive Nintex form in the text-long form control. When attempting to paste text content it doesn't matter to paste two or 500 words, a page unresponsive error occurs, and the process cannot continue. This issue is present in all forms. In addition to that, please note that the form takes longer to load. Please provide guidance.

Hello - I used SharePoint 2016 on premises. I have 2 document libraries A and B. I used Run If action to copy a document from a document library A to a document library B (see attached), but it displayed a workflow error below: “The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.” How can I copy a document from a document library A to a document library B? I’m appreciated for your help.

Hello, I unable to stop a loop… I have a notification that goes out if changes are needed to a form. When the person to make these changes makes the change, they have to tick a toggle (YES, like below) this confirms they made the change but if the toggle continues to be unticked (NO, like below) the loop runs and sends out another notification until its ticked (YES). I have it set to run every 15 mins for testing purposes. I went into the form and selected YES or ticked the toggle and the loop continues to run and send me a notification every 15 mins. How can it check if the toggle is ticked so that it doesn’t continue to loop and send out emails? How do I get it to proceed to the next action (reset toggle/clear outcome) as shown below?

I have this library that retrieves files from a network share, it then drops the files off in SharePoint and creates the list item based off the XML text in the file. This file creates a work order that has the Requester, Priority, part number, QTy, Reason and most importantly the location the parts are to be dropped off called Drop Off Location. The individual filling the order is to walk it over to the area it is asking, and we want them to scan a barcode that confirms this is the correct location. This field is called Location Scan. There will be printed bar coded at these stations matching the Drop Off Location, how can I force it; either when they scan the barcode for Location Scan if it doesn’t match the drop off location, it displays a message that it’s at the wrong station.

I have a document library and would like to update the name of the document (in PDF) using the email subject of the email/ or other library column. I have tried update item action but sometimes it doesn't work - any advice?

We just ran January updates on our production servers. After the update, I have a test workflow that I use to see if anything is broken. That workflow ran fine. This morning, I came into work with hundreds of workflow error messages. I keep getting the Workflow Failed to Start, Cancelled by System Account. Also, when I attempt to publish, I get a failed to publish error. This appears to only be affecting one Site Collection. My test workflow is in a different site collection and that workflow still runs fine. I haven’t seen anything that would affect one site collection and not another. All workflows (list and site) are failing in the one site collection.
