I am new to SharePoint and Nintex and, whilst the others here have generally been using the classic forms, I thought that for my first project I would try out the responsive forms. I have encountered a few problems on the way, but have managed to resolve most of them. However, there is one issue that remains for which I cannot figure out a fix.So at the top of the form I have placed an image control with our company logo. I have tried this with two different layouts…I set it to 2 columns wide and moved it right by 1 so as to centre it. I set it to full width (4 columns) and centred the image.When I view the form on desktop browser both logos are centre across the form as intended. When I open the form via the Nintex Mobile app on iPad both are aligned left on the screen. The image is also skewed in the 2nd layout option on iPad.I have a rich text control under the logo with a form title and I have this set to full width (4 columns) and have the text centred across the control.

HiI generate a string of attachments that is semi-colon (as specified i the documentation for send notification attachments) that could look like:https://staff-action.eg.dk/sites/recruitment/Recruitment%20Docs/Interview%20guide%20%201st%20interview_EN.DOCX;https://staff-action.eg.dk/sites/recruitment/Recruitment%20Docs/1.%20samtale%20-%20interviewguide_DK.DOCX;When this variable is used on send notification it works, using same variable on a flexi-task doesn’t work.Is this just how nintex designed it? (looking completely baffled) Essentially collections work on sand notification but not flex-tasks.
We have a workflow requesting access permissions for certain folders. These can be requested for single user accounts or AD groups.If AD groups are used we have a problem. How can we get the common name (cn) or distinguished name? Using the Query User Profile generates an error, using the set variable only SID and description are revealed. I used the ldap query to get at the cn:LDAP://DC=XXX, DC=YYQUERY: ObjectSID=s-1-5-21-1960408961-1958367476-725345543-68844This works (but is complicated) in s single domain environment. Very complex in a multi domain environment because I guess every single domain needs to be queried.Is there (or will there be) a more simple way? (like querying the user profile)
Workflow Description: When a new task is created in the "Workflow Tasks" list, a workflow is started on the item. The workflow has the following two features;Set the item permissions. Create a new item in another list, pause the workflow for 5 minutes and update the permissions of the item.Error: The workflow is encountering a sporadic error to start.Additional Information: The actions mentioned above are inside an "Action Set" action, with "Run as workflow owner" ticked. The owner of the workflow has 'Site Collection Administrators' permissions.Workflow History Error:UpdatingItemFields is the name of the workflow.Any assistance regarding this issue, is greatly appreciated!
We till use the older version of Nintex workflow. How can I use this web request action in the workflow to make a Post request? My API consists of a client id and secret, I believe we need to create an access token first and then make a connection. Any ideas how do achieve this?
Hi, I am new to Nintex and currently trying to make an email notification where it runs every end of month and consolidate list of tasks and its status.I have been browsing around and couldnt figure out how to populate a table in the email notification body that consolidates the tasks and its status which I want to get from Sharepoint list. The Sharepoint list items that i want to populate is as below the Email notification body that I want to populate onUnderstand that if I do as the above on the email config., it will only allows me to populate a record from an item from the list. Im trying to get all the items on the list to be populated into the table. Is there any particular action that I should use in the Workflow to make it possible?thank you in advance
I understand that a community is there where questions can be answered by other community members, but if there is no response for several days, is it not the responsibility of the vendor to answer these questions?Do you still support this product Nintex or should we look for another product?I did a search and was astonished to see no responses on all three items I opened.I can’t think how it must be for these people eagerly looking for a solution….Not that you’ll care (because hopefully you have automation in place to inform you), but here are the three questions I’m referring to:https://community.nintex.com/nintex-for-sharepoint-14/workflow-not-starting-sharepoint-on-prem-57208https://community.nintex.com/nintex-for-sharepoint-14/nintex-sharepoint-how-to-populate-table-that-displays-items-from-sharepoint-list-in-email-notification-body-57240https://community.nintex.com/nintex-for-sharepoint-14/use-oauth-2-0-post-request-in-workflow-web-request-action-sharepoint-57246
SharePoint 2019, On Prem version: I created a list and workflow in the Test environment. Now I am ready to create the list template and export/import the workflow and move to the Prod environment. When I do this, I see the Workflow Status column is being duplicated in the Prod environment. It sees to be coming with the list template. What is the best practice for the migration process to new environments? The screen shot attached shows the workflow from the Test but its not in Prod yet.

I am currently developing some forms in Nintex (formally in Infopath).Most fields/columns are not an issue, but I want to include items like “ID” and “Created By” in the Edit/View versions of the form. They do not, however, populate in the list columns section to be added to the form. They are available for creating variables in workflows, but I do not know how to make these viewable on the View/Edit views of the form.
There are several Nintex Forms with associated ContentTypes. Each ContentType has an associated Nintex Workflow. When an Item is created by the Form the workflow is not starting even though the Workflow configuration is such that it should start. The Workflow can be started manually from the Item. I have tried to restart IIS and the SPTimerV4 SharePoint Timer Service. Any suggestions?
I wrote a workflow that sends 20 emails out at the same time. For some reason I can’t open the workflow any longer. When I try to click on it, it just spins and brings up a blank screen. I would like to go back to a previous version but I can’t open the editor to delete some of the nodes to make is smaller. Any suggestions?
I’m creating a new responsive form for a 365 SP list and I need to hide or disable an option in a drop down choice field.For example i have a choice field and the selection is Install, Install with Support, Vendor Install, Vendor Assisted install. I want to hide Vendor Assisted Install as we no longer support that option. I have tried many different suggestions that I found online but nothing works and I dont want to delete as there are old records in the SP list that needs that selection for record keeping.Anyone with a suggestion that would work? I’m fairly new to Nintex forms so please dumb it down so I can understand and learn. 😆
The "dateDiffDays" function will only return the difference between two dates as a positive integer. It is only designed to return the difference between two dates, not determine if one date falls before or after another. To have the date difference display in this way, you will need to use a combination of some calculated values and a Form variable. Essentially you need to compile a string, which simply adds the "-" symbol in front of any difference value when Date A is less than Date B. Try it doing the following: 1 - Add two Date/Time controls to the Form, Date A and Date B2 - Add a calculated value control and set it to calculate the difference between the above: dateDiffDays(DateA,DateB) - Be sure to give this control a name so it can be referenced later, I simply called mine "Difference."3 - Add a second calculated value control and set it to the following formula: If(greaterThanOrEqual(DateB,DateA),' ','-') - This will generate a negative symbol when the second date is an earlie
Hi, I've got a problem with DateDiffDays function in Nintex Forms. I want to do the days difference between the first week of this year (04/01/2021) and an other date.It works well until the 29/03/2021. For the 28/03/2021, the function returns 83 days and the same for the 29/03/2021 that should be 84. Any known solution for this bug ? Thanks for help, Thomas

Chatgpt gives really terrible Nintex responses.
I used the following target url: https://fagg-afmpstest.govshare.fed.be/sites/digipro/DMSQuality/00QualityDEV/File%20SOP%20CCC%20-%20Copy%20(10)/ANNEX → It is a link to a folder in the same library (and it works when i past this in my browser).. I’m always getting the same error An error occurred in WorkflowDMSQuality_DEV
I used to use a utility called Workflow Analyzer by Aaron Labiosa. It’s several years old and I believe is for much earlier workflow version. Additionally, many of the links included to help you take corrective actions on workflow has changed.
I would like to change the premission on a certain folder in the same library that the Nintex workflow is running.That is why I used: Nintex set item permission encoded absolute url (and not current item)The url is correct (I’m admin), but the system workflow gives the following error: “Error setting item permissions. Cannot find list item in list '00Quality(DEV)' to match the specified criteria. The item does not exist or the user does not have sufficient permissions.”I do not have this error when I use current item. So how can I solve this?
Can email address in Request Data Action contains underscores?
Does anyone have suggestions on where to take Nintex for SharePoint training?
HiI have automated the value for a people and group column using javascript, so when the form opens, the value is automatically filled into the people and group column. However, when I submit the form ( using the Save and Submit ) Action, that specific field is not entered into the column.I dont want to use javascript to submit as its so tedious to code all the field.How can I proceed with this. Please help.
Using SharePoint 2016 on Prem with Nintex Workflow 2016. We have a custom document approval workflow. If the document revision is rejected this leaves a draft version in the library(Example: 3.1). I’ve tried using “Delete Drafts” action. Delete Drafts removes all drafts except the current draft. Is there a way to republish the currently published version as 4.0 using Nintex Workflow?
