Get FormData to SharePoint List

Hi, In one of my Client environment almost 40+ controls(including 4 repeater controls each having 5 fields) not connected to SharePoint List fields. But all the fields are loading when i open Edit/View form as they are saving in Form data. Now Client asking to Export all the data (including the un-connected fields data). As List Fields are not connected to Nintex forms controls Export excel is not pulling the data. As per my investigation we can create a nintex workflow and using Query XML and using Xpath we can extract the data. As there are multiple controls is there any other way to get the data?

Simple Nintex Form with Lookups (to list of 17K) and three simple rules takes 2-4 minutes to load

Hi folks, I'm seeing an issue with a simple Nintex Form 2013 that takes forever to load in Chrome. The list has two content types, items are placed in folders per user, and there's a lookup field to another list of 17K items (also placed in folders) and a lookup to another item in the same list of about 35K items at the moment. Performance profiling shows that 90%+ of the time is spent in finding the DOM element for the form  filler in jQuery.  However, in Firefox the load sequence takes far less time - about 5 seconds or so. I wonder if it's an issue already fixed in recent releases and if anyone has already felt the same pain.

Workflow fails to start (large list)

I have built a site workflow that is taking rows from a list (it's an overtime claim list) and building a CSV file for the payroll team to process onwards for reporting. I tackled this by querying the list and passing each of the fields needed into collection variables. Then it pauses for 1 minute to dehydrate the job to the SharePoint timer service. Next, it passes into a for-each loop, where each of the collections are cycled through in turn to produce the variables. This is done with parallel actions (12). Some of the parallel actions need some regex on the output variables to remove commas (we are saving to a CSV at the end). Within the loop, I am building a string value to collect all the row item data into a chunk.Once exited from the loop, another build string is used to produce headers and then adds the chunk with the appropriate commas to separate. Finally an email goes off to the payroll team with the CSV attached.This worked for test, when I only had a few hundred items in t

Autosave feature for Nintex Classic Form

I am currently developing a series of Nintex Forms that are of considerable size with a lot of data points being collected. The issue is that due to the size of the forms I’m scared of them timing out and users losing their progress on the completion of the form. Is there a way to force an autosave of the forms after a specific amount of time has passed so that users don’t lose their progress?Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Course pathway for Designer Certificate

Hello there, new to Nintex University. What would be the courses I need to take in order to get the Nintex Designer Certificate? I had to pick a category to make this thread so I picked Nintex for SharePoint, not really sure if that is the correct choice since we pair it with Teams.

Set List Lookup "List Column Name" using Javascript

Hi,I have a list lookup that I need to look at one of two columns depending on what the interface language is of the user.  I can get that interface language using:var lcid =_spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage;which results in 1033 for English and 1036 for French.I’d like the list lookup to check a column named “Summary” if it’s English and a column named “SummaryFR” if it’s French.  However the list lookup control does not allow variables to be used as part of the expression.I looked at Javascript to set that column, but I cannot seem to find the right property to put the value into.Thanks

Turn collection data into multiline text

Is it possible to have the data that is in a collection be put into a text variable, preferably a multi-line text variable?I have data saved in a collection that I need to be displayed in an email that the workflow sends. Placing the collection variable in the email does nothing (which I figured) but I haven’t been able to find any solution.

More than three repeating rows in nintex prevents Edit and saving of form

Greeting I have two part question regarding repeating section:Part 1:I am developing a form and observed that anytime, I have more than three rows in a repeating section. I cannot save the form. It throws an error.Once I delete the row and save, it works perfectly. In the repeating section, the min rows are 1, max rows are 10000, default rows is 1. I have a calculated field in the form that concatenates the values of a column in the repeating section. Are the values in this calc. field exceeding 255 characters? Any thoughts? Part 2:In the concatenated filed in Nintex form that combines all values in the repeating section has duplicate values. I have used fx (columnname,columnname) that helps combine all values in the column. This is working fine, other than repeating duplicate values. Is it possible to ensure distinct values in the field?Any help in this regard is appreciated

Imitate form open and close actions via a WF or JS

Hello Community. I have a form with multiple calculations performed inside the form with the results being stored in SharePoint list columns. Inputs to the calculations are both user inputs, form static values, and calculations dependent on other calculations within the form. User inputs are also stored in SharePoint list columns.The power users are allowed to input or change values in the list directly using a datasheet view as part of the business process for making bulk changes. Of course the calculation results fields in the list do not update as the form is not running.Opening and resaving the form does read the new inputs, recalculate the results, and store the new results back in the list. But we're talking about many hundreds to many thousands of records in the list, so it isn't feasible to manually open, save, and close all the items when a bulk change is made directly to the list.I originally thought that simply running a workflow to make an update to a field in the list woul

Get repeater XML using JavaScript

The application that I am working on requires to insert data that is in a in a Nintex form (of one SharePoint list) to a different list (in the same site) when the user clicks on a button that is in the form To clarify, assume the user is editing one of the list items in the list (for which the Nintex form has been built). Now he may change the form data and click the button. Then the  form data should get saved to a completely different list on the same SharePoint site (which is similar in structure to the list whose edit form the user is on). to meet this requirement - I used custom JavaScript code to pull data from the Nintex form and insert it into the other SharePoint list. This approach is working great for all the fields in the form but I am having trouble with the repeater controls that are in the form. As you may be aware Nintex stores the data within a repeater as XML when the OOTB Save is invoked. We would like the same thing to happen when the data is inserted into the othe

Dropdown Conditional Required validation depending on item chosen.

I have a form that has a dropdown menu “application” and when a certain item “cres” is chosen there is a formatting rule that shows or hides that text field depending on one certain item. That part works well, but I need required validation for that same item “cres” and field so that if anything else is chosen besides that one item, it is not required, but if that one item “cres” is chosen, that text field is required.  The following formula works as far as validating for if “cres” is chosen, but it still validates required if something else is chosen and the field is hidden. What am I missing?Application != 'CRES' && IsNullOrEmpty({Self})

Check for existing value in a collection

 We have a library we will register project documents.  We create a workflow to check if the projectcode that the user enters exists.Therefore we perform a collection operation with the exist action on a list on another site. The projectcodes in  source list consists of 2 letters, a space and 2 or 3 digits, ie [aa 123].In the workflow we query to list to get a collection. In the next action we perform a collection operation to see if the projectcode the user entered  exists in this collection.It turns out that the collection operation exist never returns a “ true”  result.On a list with no spaces the exist operation works as expected.How can we use the collection operation on a collection with spaces?  And is this a bug or feature?

I have situations where there is a need to add multiple rows under a unique column.Example: On the sharepoint list I have a column called student score (total of scores in10 subjects). In the nintex form, I have repeating rows under the column called scores, which captures individual scores in 10 subjects.Score10101040501010101010I used a calculated value to add rows in this column, using Sum(Scores). It is working correctly and giving correct value. Now, I need to update the sharepoint list with this calculated value from Nintex form.
