Hello,on my onPrem SharePoint SE Farm, I have two lists. List 1 contains a lookup column with multiple entries that refer to List 2, “Other seminars.”List 2 contains seminars with the field “Seminar title.”For example, one entry in List 2 has “IT Workshop” as the seminar title. List 2 has the lookup value “IT Workshop” and others in the “Other seminars” field.I would like to use Query List to obtain only the IDs of the entries in List 1 that contain “IT Workshop” in the “Other seminars” column.My CAML is:<Query>  <Lists>    <List ID="{75EBDC1E-BBDF-4383-BBAF-C61C019E8948}" />  </Lists>  <ViewFields>    <FieldRef Name="ID" />  </ViewFields>  <Where>    <Contains>      <FieldRef Name="otherSeminars"  />      <Value Type="Lookup">IT-Workshop</Value>    </Contains>  </Where></Query> I also tried only the ID “13” of the IT Workshop and this: 13;#IT-Workshop.

Hello,We have an existing classic Nintex form that we want to add a button where upon clicking it will send an email to a particular address with subject and body on it, can this be done using java script or maybe start a Nintex workflow?Much appreciated any response.Thank you. 

I have Nintex 2013 at the moment.We can store our Distribution lists in a person/group column.I get a value like “c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-602162358-884357618-682003330-318213” when i query the column in Workflow.How do i get to the distribution lists email address from this value? Regards

Hi everyoneI added the File Upload control to a form. I tested it with uploading a small txt file, and the form submission hangs. The item is created in the list, but the item has no attachment in it.Is there something I am doing wrong?RegardsKirk

RE: PowerShell script report.ps1 supplied by this community to FIND all Nintex Forms in the tenantthere is an input question as: Write-Host "Enter the Site URL (https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/[yoursites]) : "the example url includes [yoursites], which implies this will NOT search the entire tenant and aswe have few hundred sites in our tenant this will not work for us.Can we enter: https://[tenant].sharepoint.com  OR https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites ???OR is there another way to modify the script to search all of our tenant?Thank you much 

Hi,Currently I'm working on a workflow and part of it is to create an item in a SharePoint 2019 list, which contains a Hyperlink column. However, I would like to add a short description text to show i.s.o. the URL. So I set the column to [Link URL], [Descrption]. With a hardcoded description text all seems fine, but as soon as I replace it with a column or variable value, the space is replaced with a non-breakable space code: [URL].%C2%A0[Title]. If I type a text in front of the description column/variable (e.g. [URL]. About [Title]), it works fine. Putting the column/variable inside a inline function does not help either. Nor 2 spaces between separtor and column/var. See attachment a screenshot. The Nintex 2019 Workflows version I currently use is: “5.2.7.0 - International”Is this a bug?Kind regards,Jean-Pierre

Hi,Trying to setup a Classic Nintex form that have Yes/No control that I want to set automatically based on the result of my calculated value of true or false. It mean when the result of my calculated value is “True” it will put check mark on the Yes/No box. Is this possible? I see some java script available that can do it but for some reason it is not working.Here is my code:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {var calculatedValueControl = NWF$('#' + MyCVID);calculatedValueControl.on('change', function () {var calculatedResult = NWF.RuntimeFunctions.Get  CalculatedValue(MyCVID);var yesNoControl = NWF$('#' + MyYesNoID);if (calculatedResult === true || calculatedResult === 'Yes') {yesNoControl.prop('checked', true);} else {yesNoControl.prop('checked', false);}}); Greatly appreciated any help.Thank you.

I have been trying to embed a Nintex 2016 Form in an iframe on a non-SharePoint web-page and receiving the following error in console.Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to read a named property 'SP' from 'Window': Blocked a frame with origin "https://myexamplesite.net.au" from accessing a cross-origin frame.    at $_global_init (init.js?rev=RHfoRxFuwXZ%2BOo2JABCoHA%3D%3DTAG0:1:42957)    at init.js?rev=RHfoRxFuwXZ%2BOo2JABCoHA%3D%3DTAG0:1:280872Has anyone seen this or has used a fix for this security block?An online search of this issue indicates SharePoint pages (especially classic pages, forms, and the Nintex Workflow/Forms) often use JavaScript that calls window.parent.SP, so the browser’s same-origin policy prevents it from accessing JavaScript objects in another domain, protocol, or port.Adding Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only to web.config has not fixed the issue.This seems to be a new JavaScript call in Sharepoint 2016 as this worked in Sharepoint 2013.

Hello,I am looking a way to hide or remove the “+ Add new item” link from the list view control from Nintex form classic design.Hoping for a response and thank you. 

SP On-Prem Version: SharePoint Subscription EditionNintex Workflows & Forms We’re migrating to a new SP Farm with a new Web Application URL and have hundreds/thousands of workflows with the Old URL in them, from emails to WF actions.  Has anyone been successful in automating the process of discovering WFs that need modified and effectively doing a “find and replace” within the workflow actions?  Bonus: Nintex Forms also will need to be updated. 

Hello,  our workflows are failing (again) after applying the July 2025 SharePoint 2016 CU/critical vulnerability patch.We’ve seen this before and this was the fix Matt Thornton | (Nintex) Workflows failed to run (after security patching) (again)However, the paremeters mentioned are not in the owstimer.exe.config file. Is anybody else seeing this problem? 

Hi, Can someone assist on how to setup a reminder (follow-up email) for a “send email” action? I currently have a form setup to send out an email to a manager to review a form. The manager would then have to go into the form and click a checkbox to state they reviewed it, but the manager just gets a single notification to begin with... I am trying to figure out a way to trigger notifications to be sent until the manager goes in and checks the box. I just don’t want them to forget, so I would like to setup a reminder. TIA! 

When I add a calculated value to show the current date and time I use this formula:current date + “ “ + current time, but this shows as:Mon Sep 29 2025 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time) 09:59I would like it to show as 29/09/2025 09:59 When putting in just the Current Date it adds the time format, but shows as 00:00:00, is there anyway of getting it to show like above?

I have a form created in InfoPath that i’m trying to recreate in Nintex Forms (on-premis) which shows all the other items that the current user has created within the list when the user adds a new item to the list.  So it shows a table on the form that populates when the user adds a new item.  Is this possible? If so, how do I go about doing it.  I know how to do lookups, but I’d like it to show all the items that the user has created in a table (possibly repeating section).

hi everyone, I hope I can get help here. I need to get data on a Nintex form from a list via lookup column. The related list has 20476 items. I was hoping to archive the cascading filter shown here  but I can’t get the items. I did a test with the same list but with less items and it works, I’ve read here people had no issues with bigger lists - does anyone has video instructions on how to do it? Or any tips?The issue is in filtering: when i set up a filter to show only items based on a specific column I am not getting anything at all (I checked the format and the text to be exactly as it is in the connected list so not typo or other “user” issues there) 

Will my Nintex workflows that are currently in SharePoint 2016 and using the 2010 workflow engine continue to work if I migrate the site collection to SharePoint subscription edition?  Will I need to redesign them or will they work without any extra actions on my part?  

With the release of the September 2025 Cumulative Update for SharePoint, Microsoft has made changes to permissions that may cause solution deployment to fail, which ultimately will cause the Nintex for SharePoint installer to fail. The issue has been acknowledged here and, according to this page, a fix is planned in the coming October 2025 CU. I’d suggest avoiding this scenario if possible. However, if you must run the Nintex for SharePoint installer while your environment is on the September 2025 CU, please review the links above for workarounds. 

 When attempting to import a Nintex Forms & Workflow license via Central Administration > Nintex Administration > Licensing, a read banner stating "Workflow license not imported because license is invalid" appears and the license fails to import. Sharepoint 2016 (on-premise)run from SharePoint Management Shell:NWAdmin.exe -o UpgradeDatabasesthe same result  “Workflow license not imported because license is invalid” What can I do ? 

I’ve added some custom fields to a document library and would like to automate the check-in process when a button is clicked. From what I understand, the check-in action only works if the document has been checked out beforehand. I need to access the form, update fields, then click a button save, submit and check in the document. Is this possible?

I'm fairly new to Nintex Workflow, though I do have some experience with other workflow applications. Right now, I’m working on configuring a Set a Condition step on my workflow with multiple criteria.What I’m trying to do is that when a [Vendor Id] is empty and if the [Status] field is either “Awaiting Final Approval” or “Dept Approved”.Solution #1If current item field equals value [Vendor ID] is emptyAND[Stage] is “Awaiting Final Approval”OR[Stage] is “Dept Approved”Solution #2If current item field equals value [Vendor ID] is emptyAND[Stage] is “Awaiting Final Approval”ORIf current item field equals value [Vendor ID] is emptyAND[Stage] is “Dept Approved”Based on my experience with a previous app, the second solution usually delivers the best results. However, I'm not sure if that applies to Nintex Workflow. When I tested the second option, it didn’t trigger anything, whereas the first one did work. Could you help clarify this for me? I really appreciate your support. Thanks in advanc

I have three groups of controls (dropdown, textbox, button). I want to validate the groups separately, and I am having issues with the button only validating the dropdown/textbox it’s associated with. can this be done with only validation rules, or will I need JavaScript?   

I’m calling a webservice to read from the termstore. This actions requires credentials in the action itself. Is it possible to place this action in a group, leave the credentials empty and execute as the workflow owner (farm admin)? Or is it possible to work with some kind of labels to prevent the use of static credentials in the action?  

On one of my Nintex forms I want users to enter a series of (variable number) of event dates and other data related to those events in a repeated section. I would like to have users enter the rows in chronological order on the date field, from earliest date to the latest date. I know that normally you can just compare dates like they’re numbers and dates further in the future are treated as greater than dates less far in the future or in the past, but I’m having trouble getting the rule right so that it compares to the control element on the previous row (if present).Like I want date(row N) > date(row N-1) for N>1This is for Sharepoint on Prem 2019.I have tried forcing it on the last row with a validation rule:and(equals(currentRowNumber(dateField),rows(dateField)),lessThan((dateField),max(dateField)))then invalidate, but it doesn’t seem to work, the rule inside only takes the field on the current row, it doesn’t look at other rows. I have also looked at sorting it in workflow, b
