The Future Of Nintex On Prem

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?

I just started getting this error when I attempt to import a license

An object of the type Nintex.Administration.Common.ULS named "" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm named "SharePoint_Config".  Rename your object or delete the existing object.

Duplicate entries in workflow inventory, invalid WebApplicationId

Hi,at a customer of us there are duplicate entries in workflow inventory. They use Nintex for SharePoint 2019, 5.2.12.0.I found out that in the Nintex content database there are rows with an invalid WebApplicationId in the tables dbo.Workflows and dbo.PublishedWorkflows. In fact there is no WebApplication with this ID, and there is only one Nintex content database. As it seems to me, when the customer publishes such a workflow, a new row is created with the correct WebApplicationId. So workflow inventory shows a published version and a version 0.1 of the workflow.Is it safe to update the WebApplicationId in dbo.Workflows and dbo.PublishedWorkflows and to remove duplicate rows from dbo.Workflows? That way it would try to solve the problem.Regards, Andreas

Disabling a panel for 3 or more SharePoint groups

I have a Nintex form where there is a panel that should be locked down in edit mode unless the person editing the form is a member of one of five groups. I read that this fn-IsMemberOfGroup function is limited to only two groups.This caused an error in the form - where some of the other approvers received an “this item had not been shared with you error”...fn-Or(fn-Or(fn-Or(fn-Or(fn-IsMemberOfGroup(“Group1”),fn-IsMemberOf(“Group2”)),fn-IsMemberOfGroup(“Group3”), fn-IsMemberOfGroup(“Group 4”),fn-IsMemberOfGroup(“Group 5”))))) && Is Edit ModeBasically, we don’t want the Created By/Requestor and their “manager” (a people picker field) to edit that panel...if the fn-IsMemberOfGroup is limited to only two groups - is there a different rule I can use to prevent the requestor in updating that panel?

Suddenly have an error - 'The Outcome control is a requirement of the task'

I have created a list and form and sharepoint and have successfully submitted to it on previous occasions. Suddenly I am getting this error when I try to submit a new form. "Something went wrong.The outcome control is a requirement of the task. Please make sure it is available on the form"Firstly, I haven't created anything task related. Secondly, what is an outcome control?I have created a brand new list based on my existing list and have been able to submit an out-of-the-box SharePoint form to it successfully. It is only when I use the Nintex form that I get the error. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Wrong Workflow Runs

There are two SharePoint 2013 lists, each with a Nintex form. Let's call them forms A and B, each attached to a workflow. Form A was connected to workflow A; and Form B was connected to workflow B. Everything ran fine.Then I must have done something, I don't know, but now a new list item for form-A runs workflow-B. In otherwords, I create a new item in list-A with form-A, but workflow-B gets triggered. It's been like this for a couple of weeks.Any ideas?

How to add a second page to an existing Nintex SharePoint 2016 Form

This is something that should be pretty straightforward but doesn’t appear to be (in Nintex anyway, easy in other products) I have a form that is out of space and requirements to add several more fields/sp list columns to the form so I need to add a second page. No option that I can see anywhere to add a second page.

Actual Character Limits of Single Line of Text On-Prem Workflow Variable

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?

Email details of field changes

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.
