Compare two lists

I have two lists,A-list :- there we set up cost acceptance requests which are used to describe invoices, they are numbered list B- list of invoices, where we use the approval number from list A for the description (we enter this number in one of the fields)I have been asked if it is possible to compare the two lists, so that in the list, next to the number of the approval that has already been used in list B, there would be some kind of marking, for example "Used".Is it possible to create something like this? Because frankly I have no idea Best regards

How to reference an task created by workflow

I am creating a task assigning it to our IT group so that anyone in that group can complete the task.  I have to send the notification to our Helpdesk application via Email.  I created a parallel action.  One branch creates the task, the other branch waits for a minute and then sends the notification to the Helpdesk.  In the notification, I would like to reference the task created.  How do I get the value of the task created?  The “Store Task Id” in variable isn’t populated until the task has been completed.  How else can we get the value of the task ID?

Usage of loop to create x number of items in SP List

I wish to automatically create x number of items in a SP Custom list. For this I am using below steps, but the loop runs only 1 time and remains in in-progress state after that. Start by creating an Integer variable (named x) and set it to the value from the form of the number of items you want to create in the list. Next add a Loop action and configure it as: Condition is "if any value equals value", Where "Workflow Data" x, is greater than, Value 0. Inside the Loop action, add and configure the create item action (i.e. "Create item" or "Create item in another site" action).  Then inside the Loop action and after the previous step, add a Math Operation action and configure it as:  Calculation "Workflow Data" x Minus Value 1 Store result in = x Only 1 single item gets created and nothing really happens after that. Any idea why this is happening? Note: This is for SharePoint 2019 on-Prem version of Nintex.

Create x number of items on a different list based on a number field with x as a number - while not using a repeating section

I have a list (List A), tracking items being destroyed. For each item being destroyed a unique tracking number needs to be generated after the requestor submits the request for approval.field 1: Items being destroyed (drop down)field 2: number of items being destroyed (number field)So, if paper is being destroyed (field 1), the corresponding field number of boxes of papers (field 2) will also be filled.Example, if the requestor is destroying 5 boxes of paper, I need to provide a unique tracking number for all five boxes. I am not using a repeating section as this form could easily have more than one repeating section based on what is being destroyed. My thought is to copy the list items (with some of the key fields) from List A to List B and generate a unique number from there.In this case, I would need to create 5 list items in List B. I know how to copy the one item over, but not sure how to create the 4 additional reuqired list items over. Research shows I can use a counter variable

Classic designer: highlighted selected button in Choice control similar to Modern Designer

I am using a Choice control which is rendered as buttons on a Classic Designer form (SharePoint 2019) as a tabbed navigation control.  When a button is pressed, only one panel is shown (all others hidden).  In a Modern form, the selected button is automatically highlighted by changing the border and background color; in the classic designer it is only slightly changes the border color - almost undetectable.Any help would be appreciated!  Custom JS/CSS?  Rules?  Thanks!

My append/history workflow does not work when there is an attachment

I have a Nintex workflow that takes the who, when and what from a comments field and stores it in a read only Total comments field. It works only when there is no attachment in the form. This is a huge liability for our business owners. Any way around this? I have submitted a ticket with I.T. and nintex with no success.

Workflow action to query the list for items created by the current user and delete old items

I’m trying to create a query list action on a workflow that pulls back the IDs of all the items created by the initiator in order to delete the old items if they exist.I’ve added the query list action, but when trying to pull all the item numbers into a collection variable, it doesn’t pull any numbers through at all.  The filter is searching the ‘user’ column on the list, with the ‘user’ being a variable that’s set previously as the initiator.I’m using Nintex for SharePoint on-premis, after i’ve got the list of IDs that are created, I need to be able to delete the oldest one(s). so there’s only 1 item for each user.Is anyone able to assist me, so that I can get this workflow working for the client.

Running more then 6 workflow instance concurrently

Hi,Can I check if there is any limitation to run more than 6 workflow instance concurrently at any given time? BackgroundWe have a approval request form which stores data in SharePoint list. As a final step, we will need to perform some attachment merging into a single PDF file. As such, we will need to validate the request and once validated, we will trigger the flow to merge the attachment. Some days we will have a lot of requests and to save time we will concurrently trigger a few of the workflow to speed things up. So we found that each time we trigger 6 workflow instance, we are not able to trigger the 7th. and the page will hang when loading the start workflow page. Initial we thought that it is a laptop issue and we took another laptop to do the same. somehow the second laptop also can trigger only 6. however a new issue arise is that since both laptop trigger the workflow concurrently, the process to start to workflow gets even slower and most of the time it hangs, and causing

Losing metadata fields in document when copying document from one library to another

I have a document that incorporates SharePoint metadata within the document to provide dynamically updated data depending the change in SharePoint. The document properties populate perfectly fine in the source library, however when copying the document over into a new library using Nintex copy action, certain properties lose their associated metadata. See below:  Source library document:  Copy of Document in Destination Library: What’s strange is that the metadata is not actually lost. It is still present when I view the document properties… however the association between that document property and the field within the document is lost, as can be seen below and above with the document copy. Document property on copy in destination library  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Rename Forms ConfigDB

Is there a way to rename the Forms Configuration Database?The easiest way probably would be to “detach” the existing database, rename in SQL the re-attach it. While re-attaching an existing database is possible, it seems I am unable to find any way to detach the current Forms Configuration DB.

Nintex Workflow Unknown Error "Outcome 11/14/2023 1:02 PM Error No presence informationSystem Account The workflow could not create the list item. Make sure the list exists and the user has permissions to add items to the list."

This workflow has been in use for ages.  The user has permission on both lists (it’s a “Create Item” workflow).  Now recently it errors out immediately with just “The workflow could not create the list item. Make sure the list exists and the user has permissions to add items to the list.”  What could be going on here?

Generate estimate from a list item

Hello Community, This is more of a general question around list item to pdf. I'm working on a project in SharePoint, where I have created a list item e.g. Now I want to be able to generate an invoice or order estimate in a PDF and sent to the client upon approval of the request.  My Question is is this possible in SharePoint without the use of thirdParty addons?  Any kind of suggestion, or feedback will be very much appreciated. Thank you
