Nintex for SharePoint

Description:In our Nintex form, we have encountered an issue related to field character limits. The form includes a field that is a duplicate of another field. The original field in the form does not have any character limit, allowing for unrestricted text input. However, the duplicate field which is read only has been set with a character limit of 255 characters.Objective:The requirement is to modify the character limit of this duplicate field. We aim to either increase this limit beyond 255 characters or remove the character limit entirely to match the unrestricted nature of the original field.Current Setup:Form Tool: Nintex Forms Platform:  SharePoint Field in Question: The duplicate field with the 255-character limit Comparison Field: The original field with no character limitRequired Action:Adjusting the settings of the duplicate field within the Nintex Form Designer to change or remove the character limit. 

Does anyone know how to prevent duplicate date selections in repeating table in responsive forms rows? 

While creating a html website and using JavaScript to connect to a SharePoint site, we are trying to upload and view a png/img attachment from an input type=file tag.When we hit submit on our html website to submit the form and the attached img/png, we can look back in the Nintex form viewer to see attachments or files from that submission.Unfortunately, this is what keeps happening when we try to click on a png/img from Nintex forms viewer.Onclick:After click:We are able to save this picture as option, but when we load it in a different application, this error pops up.Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a SharePoint column that will not retain new entries; the solution may be to replace the list, but this will require a change of the look up list connected to the form. When I try to edit the connection to the add replacement list, new list does not appear in the options to select.Not clear how I add new list to those available on the form. Please help.

Hello,I have a form for a SharePoint list which collects information about travel requests.  One of the fields is for an Admin Code (AC), and another is for a Common Account Number (CAN) which is basically a bank account number.  Each AC has it’s own set of CANs.In order to make things easier on the users, I created a second list which contains the ACs and CANs and I have those as cascading dropdowns in the form.  For some reason it’s adding a number and # before the AC and before the CAN. In order to get the correct AC and CAN in the original list, I had to create a variable to extract the last portion of the string.The problem I’m having is that some of the numbers being inserted are only one digit.On those items, the variable I created is starting the extraction count at 4 when (on these specific items) it should be starting the count at 3.Is there a way to get the end of the substring to start after the # sign? 

Hi all,I have a set a condition action that isn’t working and I can't figure out why. I’m doing an LDAP query to gather members of an AD group. I’m setting a collection variable then doing an collection operation to Join with a ; delimiter and saving the results as a string, “StrADGroupMembers”. I’ve tried contains and contains ignoring text, but it still isn’t catching it. I’m sending the variables to myself in an email and the group members “StrADGroupMembers” clearly contains the employee value “StrEmployeeDisplayName”. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?  It’s driving me bonkers.  

SharePoint 2016I have a workflow that collects data via for each loops, and at the end of the last loop it will create an item in a list and log that data. My issue is that it is making multiple items when it should only be making one. When the loops result in only having one entry to make it is fine, but if there are two items that need to be created, it is making four (two of each data sets). There are three levels of loops nested within each other, if that makes any impact. I made sure that collections remove duplicates. The Workflow The duplicating items being createdEDIT: Here are clearer images of the workflow. 

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

Hello, I have created a Nintex form for my SharePoint (task) list and published it. When selecting "New item" it opens the Nintex form. When I want to edit an existing item i get following error message: Where i can update this default edit form?

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?

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.

Hi all,We have a Nintex flow developed on SharePoint List. Earlier, we had a list of 5K+ items in the task list. Currently, it is only displaying a few records. Please advise on this.Note: We are using Nintex Workflow 2013Thank-you.

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

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! 

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.

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.

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

I am getting inaccurate results from the Nintex Forms Spell Sheck feature.In this example it’s returning 15 errors. When I import the form into MS Work, it finds 3 errors.Is is possible to finx this?

Hi guys,I am using a Nintex responsive form and I want to be able to use a default format for the date - like yyyy-MM-dd on input and also on display.I tried to put “yyyy-MM-dd” on the String Format field and it works only on View, not on Input even if the Apply formatting to input mode is set to Yes.Any idea how to fix this?Sounds like a simple trick that I am missing :)Thanks,Mihai

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. 

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.

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?
