Nintex Form Web Part Properties Asking For Retrieve ID Properties

Hello All,I had an issue with one of our SharePoint 2016 lists with a Nintex form that caused the form to not load properly due to some web part error (I can’t get the error to show back up). So I thought I could just start fresh and delete the web-part and re-add it. I went in and added a Web Part > Nintex Forms > List form, which asks for an Item ID. I’d obviously want the Item ID to load the current item selected and not a fixed ID to load. Any help would be appreciated as I’ve been stumped on this for hours! I’ve tried making a template of the list and creating a new one with that template with the same issue. I tried to delete the form entirely from the Nintex Form menu, but then I get a message saying I need Nintex to view this item. I was thinking I would like to just wipe the form.aspx settings somehow and try to re-publish the form? Just not sure how to go about that as a Site Collection Admin.

Sharepoint Workflow POST web request with anonymous enabled

Hello,I have a Sharepoint 2016 application that is using Nintex workflows and forms. Recently I had to enable anonymous access in the web app. When anonymous is enabled at site collection level (list and libraries) the Nintex workflows that I have seem to run using the anonymous user permissions because I get: - 403 unauthorized on POST requests( if “Require Use Remote Interfaces permission” is checked) - 404 not found even in GET requests (if “Require Use Remote Interfaces permission” is unchecked)In my workflow web request which I did not get before.For every web request I have credentials set as the Service account which should have all the necessary permissions but for some reason it seems like Nintex bypasses that and runs under a least privileged user.Any idea why this is happening? I tried various solutions but I cannot seem to get Nintex to run with elevated privileges once Anonymous is enabled at site collection level and I am getting really desperate.Thanks!

Cancel Workflow from a deleted site

Hello,We have a on-premises Sharepoint infrastructure with Nintex.In the nintex reports, displaying the workflows in progress, I have some workflows regarding deleted items. In this case, NWAdmin.exe with the options SyncTerminatedWorkflows and terminatedeleteditems solves the problem. But we have to indicate the site collection.I still have workflow in progress and when I click on it, it says “file not found”. I think that those are worklows related to delete sites. How can I cancel those workflows ? Because I can not indicate the site url, because it doesn’t exist anymore and I event don’t know its name.Thank you for your help,Pascal

File attachments intermittantly don't upload to the sharepoint record

HI!I have a Nintex form, it contains a File Upload widget. Intermittantly it will fail to upload some documents. No error message. The file upload widget is required, you cannot submit the form without a file ‘attached’. The form will submit, however as mentioned, the file will not attach to the Sharepoint record.Has anyone seen this behaviour? Any suggestions for troubleshooting?Thank you, Dave.

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.
