Attachment validation for nintex on Premise not working

Hi,I am trying to submit a nintex form with an error message popping up if the there isn’t at least one attachment if the answer to a question is yes. This is the question and if it is answered yes, then there must be 1 attachment. Without an attachment the form should not be allowed to submit unless if both conditions are true.I already made sure the minimum attachment is set to 1 but it still submits without any errors.  Should I be setting rules on the submit button for this? Please advise on how I can make this work. Thanks

Need to Extract Appended Mutli-Line Text Field Data to a new list in SharePont 2013

Hello,  In SharePoint 2013 I'm trying to Extract all the data from a Appended Multi-Line Text Field and need to be able to move that data to a new list.  Currently, I'm only able to extract the last comment to the new list but I want to send all the comments to the new list.  I did find some old forum post about this but Nintex for some reason deleted all the pictures associated with this past post.  Thank You for any responses to this question.

Extracting Data from Appended Multi-Line Text Field

I have a multi-line text box that is appending changes.  The SharePoint list does not display any information in this field, but instead displays ‘View Entries’.  I need to build a workflow that will pull out all the data in this field (userstamp, datestamp, comment), and load into another text field so we can easily see all comments and export it to excel.

Javascript for Outputting "N/A" in a text field based on a choice

I want to have a single line text field to populate with N/A if a certain choice (multi-choice) is selected. For example:Choices:AppleOrangesPear Apple Stock: In StockOrange Stock: In StockPear Stock: In Stock-----------------------------------------------If apple is selected, N/A should appear for Apple Stock: N/A. If both apple and orange are selected, N/A should appear for both Apple Stock and Orange Stock. Currently, I have this for Javascript, and nothing happened upon the choice selection (still a newbie). I have assigned the Javascript variables - one to the choice control (varFruits), another to the line section (varApple):NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { NWF$('#'+varFruits).change(function(){ if (NWF$('#'+varFruits + ' input:checked').val() == 'Apple'){ NWF$('#'+varApple).val('N/A'); } })})Thank you for any insight!

Workflow history vanishing

Have a weird issue going on here where the history for workflows are vanishing. Hoping someone has an idea as to what is going on here or how to troubleshoot this one.Workflow Details:We have a list where we have a Nintex workflow running.  It’s a simple flow with an approval that updates a choice column in the list with  “Approved”, or “Rejected”.   This workflow only runs when a specific field is modified.Issue:The workflow history for the workflows are intermittently vanishing.  For example, we will have several flows run on a given day, up to 8 on average. All completed.  However, only 2 or 3 of them will show workflow history when completed.The “In Progress” ones don’t seem to be vanishing. No workflows with errors occurring recently.  Or if there was, it doesn’t show in the history. When attempting to view “Workflow History” it appears as if the workflow never ran at all as there is no completed or running workflows on the list items. Able to confirm workflow running by item vers

Instructions for DocGen in Nintex For Sharepoint

I’ve been looking around the community site and I cannot seem to find any instructions on how to setup the Doc Gen templates.  I know we need to use various tags, but I am not sure how those tags reference fields within the built form.  Are there any instructions out there on where to do this.  I’ve seen plenty of instructions for DocGen for Salesforce.  That is not what I am doing.  Thank you.

Repeating section in a Power Automate workflow

I’ve created a Nintex Form connected to a SharePoint list. The Nintex form contains a repeating section that is connected to a multiple lines of text field in the SharePoint list.I have a Power Automate workflow that creates a PDF file based on information stored in the list item. I’ve got the PDF working well except for the repeating table section.Does anyone know of any resources/videos that cover this specific part of Nintex for SharePoint? I am self-taught, and this is definitely a gap in my knowledge!

Search All Nintex Forms in a Site Collection or Web App

I am using Nintex Forms 2019 on premises.  I have forms developed on several site collections / sites.  Many of these forms use the SQL Request control.  We recently migrated several databases to a different SQL server with a different server name and we are trying to change the connection strings in all of the SQL Request controls to point to the correct server.  We are getting SQL login failures, but it is difficult to know which forms are being loaded to generate those errors.I know that a Nintex Form can be exported in XML format, so it is searchable.  Does anyone have a method (Powershell script, etc.) to search all Nintex forms in a site collection or in a web app for an occurrence of a string (like a SQL server name) and list the site name and list name where the form was found?If I can find the forms that contain the old SQL server name in the connection string by searching the XML, I can fix them easily.Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
