Lookup values for an array from Lookup field selections

Hi,   I have a look up field with multiple selections. The selections are stored in a array. I want to do a lookup for this array values in a list and get their amounts. Eg: Lookup will select product IDs in a array [444,555,666] in a calculated column. I want to do a lookup on the above array to replace them with amount. eg [$300,$400,$500] and get a sum, is that even possible? If I do lookup, it brings back value of only the first item in the array[$300].

Workflow to run if number is greater than a specified limit

Hello, I have a workflow that I am trying to figure out a step I need to add. There is a field called “lot number” and what I need is if it is below a certain number it runs one workflow and if it is above a certain number it runs a different workflow. I have looked at set a condition but there is no option for Greater than, is it possible in any other way to make this happen?

NINTEX FOrms 2019 (onPrem) clkassic style - only two people should ba able to change one of the dropdown menues

Hi folks,I have a form (NINTEX forms 2019, classic) for our standard change requests.Beside the informations about the change, all the stakeholder can choose the level they want to be involved.In addition one field is a dropdown, which includes states like “approved”, “in progress”, “finished”, etc.Now I was asked to edit the form to only allow two people (lead of all changes) should be able to change the state.My idea was to check, if the current user is not one of the two people and then deactivate the field.So I have started full of drive…. I created two people fields which has the two people as default value in it. This looks like…i:0#.w|domain\usernameThen I created a rule for the dropdown field (format → deactivate) with the condition…or(not(equals(peopleField1,Current User)),not(equals(peopleField2,Current User)))What a mess! It didn’t work :-)   I also tried a simple rule … peopleField1 != Current User...to check if it works with only one person.Yeap…. still not successful. I d

Muliple instances of workflow overriding the existing value

I have a Main list having a column called “A”, with a workflow. I have another child list, with a workflow. When I create an item in main list, multiple items will be created in the child list. For example, Main List item has one item with ID 7, child list has 5 items with Parent ID as 7. I have a scenario, where the child workflow will query the column A of the main list and update it with a value, as and when the workflow reaches to that update action, it gets the value of column A and appends it with the value. But as I have multiple child items, its overriding the values updated by the another workflow. Is there any way to prevent this.

Multi person field to multiline text box

Sharepoint 2016 on premis (not online) I have a multi person allowed field in the list.  What i’m trying to do is parse out each person, by account name, to first and last name and place them into a multiline text box.  Seems like it should be easy, but i keep pulling errors.The first thing i do is use a collection operation > add > to place each value into a collection variable.  I then for each loop through the collection and place each value into a person variable.  Then I use a query user profile with that person variable to populate two text variables (first, last).  after that I try to concatenate a multiline text variable with each instance of the first,last.  It’s crashing on the first step and i’m getting a partial error string in the log that indicates the person field is carrying a lot more than just the account.Has anyone done this successfully? Thanks!

Getting current user for editing Nintex Forms

I’m building a Nintex form for Sharepoint 2019 and I can’t seem to get the Current user function to work well with UserEquals for rules. It seems to fail to evaluate UserEquals to True even if the Current user editing the form is in fact the user it should be comparing to. The goal is that users first fill out a request form, which gets saved as an item in a list, and then users from a receiving department add more specific information that the initial requesters would not know or be familiar with for an executive branch to know exactly what the request entails. I want to make the areas to add the more specific information only visible to the users that would know what to fill out there when they receive the initial request, not to anyone sending an initial request (as those initial users would maybe guess what has to go in there leading to confusion down the line).If I could get the Current user check to work I could also make sure that a user has filled out everything they have to an

Workflow for Email Notification on File Update

Hello, I am planning to create a list workflow using Nintex that automatically sends an email notification to the responsible employee when a file needs to be updated in the document library. For this purpose, I will use the two existing columns "Responsible" with the employee's name and "Update on" with the corresponding date. Since I have no prior experience in creating workflows, I need your assistance. Can you please tell me the best approach to take?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best regards, Fatih

Nintex SharePoint email notification requesting tracking number

I have a list that I am building out a workflow for, I am a bit rusty since its been 3 years since I have built a workflow. I want to send an email notification to someone that is requesting a tracking number. I have the field already in my list and need it to be extremely simple where the recipient can reply to the email with the tracking number and it updates the list item. Is this possible and if so is there a step by step tutorial anywhere I have scoured the internet and cannot find what I need.

Dynamic Dropdown options based on Values of Other Fields

Looks like 3yrs ago, this was not possible. Hoping the newest Nintex Responsive Designer is capable…I have 2 dropdown fields: “Type” and “Plan.”  Based on my selection in “Type,” I should only be able to select between 5 of the 10 “Plan” options. I can’t use lookup lists because there is an added wrinkle… if my “Type” is a certain value AND the value in a separate “Filed” field is Yes, only 3 of the 10 “Plan” options are available. But if the “Filed” field is No, the other 7 options become available.   Ideally, this would be a simple Rule:If Type equals “Test” Then Plan values “A, B, C, D, E, F” (that option doesn’t exist, but is there some formula I can insert that would conditionally remove/disable particular dropdown options?) And for the other example and why I can’t use a lookup list…If Type equals “Test 2” AND Filed equals “Yes”Then Plan values “A, B or C” I can easily create a validation rule for this. But I would like to proactively prevent the User from selecting an option tha

Can't read a text value that gets updated by Javascript in my Nintex Form.

Hi, I have a nintex form that uses custom javascript to get values from a repeating section collection, adds them up, then places the value in a single line text field.  Everything works as needed until I need to read that updated single line text field that gets changed by my javascript.Here are some details of how I update the single line text box: I name the Client ID JavaScript variable name as ‘totalDuration’ like so Then in my custom javascript I update the textbox like this: var showDiff = NWF$('#'+totalDuration); showDiff.val(totalDiff);This successfully updates the textbox.  The problem is when I refer to the text box by its name “txt_totalDuration” in a rule, a variable, or calculated field, it is not able to read the updated value.  Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?  The line of js that updates the value is in a async function.  I have also tried updating a calculated field instead of a textbox and that does not work. This is in Nintex Forms for Sharepoint 201

Workflow fails randomly, after an update action.

My workflow fails randomly, after an update action. Gives error “failed to update one or more column nintex workflow error”. I have added commit pending changes, but not helping. So through one article got a solution to add a pause.I added a pause of 0.2 minutes.Is it 12 seconds, I feel like it takes more than 12 seconds.Also adding pause after every update delays the workflow too much.This resolves the issue, but why exactly is this issue happening. Is there any other solution(I am using 2016 On-Prem version).

Modify the Task Form on a To-Do Task

Hi Folks,Can anyone tell me if it is possible to modify the task form on a To-Do task? I do not use them often and while helping some colleagues (@bickela and @lowecm) with a workflow and just noticed for the first time that there is no “Edit Task Form” button in the ribbon of the to-do task like there is in the flexi-task. Is there a way to access the task form interface for other types of tasks?Thanks and Regards,Patrick

NWL error and datasource issue

Hello,I migrated our onPrem 2013 to onPrem 2016, using Nintex Workflow (not Live though), and did everythng to get InfoPath 2013 forms running. When I load the form I get a datasource error, but naturally Microsoft doesn’t name it. The form still loads but the data-filled DropDown controls that work in Dev don’t work on the SP2016 server. i can’t track it down and there’s nothing in the Event Logs on the server. But whjen looking at the Event Logs, I saw this error that has many instances over the last few days. It looks like it’s something for NW Live, which we are not using. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance! Load control template file /_controltemplates/15/NWLOnlineComponents.ascx failed: The expression prefix 'NWLResources' was not recognized.  Please correct the prefix or register the prefix in the <expressionBuilders> section of configuration.

Nintex On Premise - The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.

Hi, over the weekend my workflow started to error out at the following action. I have no idea why it started failing all of a sudden. When approvers go in to approve the task, they are able to approve it however the status of the workflow shows up blank and it errors out with “The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Access Denied”. Things to note:The current workflow task history is hitting 55000+ items which does surpass the threshold. I will work to get the task item count below the threshold.  Additionally, I have provided the group of approvers with Contribute access, it was previously just member access.  I have also tried to add a commit pending changes before the “Start CreateRequestNum workflow” and this hasn’t helped in anyway The workflows started erroring today as soon as someone approves the request, it restarts the workflow and errors out at the following action. See second picture.
