Hello Nintex Users, Â I do have a repeating section on a Nintex form that consists of a managed metadata column in it. I would like to develop a site workflow to retrieve all the repeating data including the metadata and create an item for each repeating section in list with the same metadata column (metadata column that connected to same term store). Any help/suggestions please? Â Thank you in advance!

Hi, Recently we have been getting random errors when users is accessing the Approver page which has been edited using Nintex forms. The error logs is showing the following. Failed to retrieve form from workflow. Error: There was an error deserializing the object of type Nintex.Forms.Form. Character reference not valid.

I'm using a List Lookup to query "Specialty" from another SharePoint list. My List Lookup dropdown, also named "Specialty" is only returning multiple values when I need unique values. I have nothing to filter my lookup by. This is such a high frequency dumb problem for Nintex not to have an easy solution for. Sorry for raging lol. Does anyone out there have a JavaScript solution? Please and thank you!Â
The company I work for (company A) was recently purchased by another company (company B). Company A is now part of Company B. Each company has separate on-prem environments (AD, Email, SharePoint 2013, etc.). Each company has different user ID and email naming conventions. Company A has SharePoint 2013 and Nintex Forms 2013 and Nintex Workflow 2013. Company A has many Nintex forms and workflows. Company B has SP2013 on prem, but NOT Nintex and no workflows that I am aware of. Because there are two separate email systems, users from Company A much currently use two different email systems and email addresses. I was asked if I could change the Company A's Nintex workflow notifications to use the new Company B email address. On the surface this seems like a simple request. But it is not.  The workflows are using the person's company AD user ID from Company A, and then getting the email address from there. Even if we manually change the email addresses in the notification to thos
I'm trying to use the Regular Expression Action to pull the first name out of the display name. The expression works, but I'm unable to select a variable in the "Store result in" dropdown. The dropdown shows no choices. Has anyone run into this, or know a fix? We are running on SharePoint 2016 on-prem. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm gonna try to keep this as simple as possible, and hopefully someone will be able to provide some technical advice. Situation: we have to develop a Training tool that allows users to register employees for different courses. I have already build a cheap and dirty version of the overall solution, which mainly consists of four lists:- Courses type list: the user can create a course type and with a repeating section add the dates on which the course will be delivered.  - Courses dates: fed by the prior list via a Nintex workflow, it contains the different course's instances (course name - date) previously created with the repeating section - Registrations: the user can register employees for the different courses, using a repeating section. The output for this list is a row that basically contains how many employees have been registered. This would act as an auxiliary list. - Enrollment: again, fed by the prior list via a Nintex workflow that processes the repeating secti
Hi Folks, I have a form with a repeating section and I want the user to input a code (DoDIC) then get a filtered selection of national stock numbers (NSN). Once the user selects an NSN, I want several single line text (SLT) controls to populate from the NSN catalog list. Additionally, I want some of the SLT controls to populate with a calculated value after the "Rounds" (quantity) field is filled in with an integer. These calculated values are "Dollar Value" based on the unit price from the catalog, and the "Short Tons" (STON) based on the STON from the catalog. I have the repeating section working for the first row, but when another row is added, and an NSN is selected, the fields for the second and any subsequent rows do not auto-populate. To populate the controls, I am using calculated value (CV) controls with a lookup formula as seen in the two screen-shots below...My js code look like this... NWF$(function() { NWF$('#'+ jsvar_TARF1NSNLookup_LLU).on('change', function() { setTimeou
We are using Nintex forms and workflows in our SharePoint 2016 environment. We are randomly facing an issue with Responsive Nintex task form having more than 2 or 3 attachments, after submission, the task completes. However workflow goes to Error with error message in the history:The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.Note: this error happens intermittently, so we are unable to replicate all the time.Type of file attached: can be any file even .txt file.Â
Hi @sunkars  Clarification: Your article below should clearly specify the scope is for SharePoint On-Prem and not for SharePoint Online.  Article: How to increase the list view threshold for a list ?Link: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/How-to-increase-the-list-view-threshold-for-a-list/ta-p/221815   SharePoint Online list can have up to 30 million items.SharePoint Online list view threshold is set to '5000' and cannot be changed. Refer to SharePoint Online Limits at:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description/sharepoint-online-limits  Cheers
Is it possible to get the current version of a form from somewhere?  Some of our users are complaining of faults we have fixed already but we have no way of knowing if they have updated the published form version on the nintex app. I was looking to add the current form version to our form as a footer or similar so we can see when things have been updated. I found this link which has a similar function: (https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint-Forum/Nintex-form-version/td-p/27572) but it appears older and im not sure what lookup they are trying to do. i can get to /nintexforms/versionhistory.aspx?listID= but that gives me the full list but i just need the latest version. Is this even possible?

my organization is moving away front InfoPath and looking at potential alternatives and ease of access. We already have many InfoPath files so we ideally would want to migrate those instead of starting over completely from scratch.Currently I am heavily considering Nintex with Kudzu where it automatically converts your InfoPath files into Nintex. This will save a lot of time and effort if there are solutions available that would automatically convert the existing InfoPath files as well as for future use.I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to best proceed with away from InfoPath. Any advice would be great
I want to be able to not allow end users using a date control to go passed the date of 31/03/2023. What rule can I use please or can you help me
I'm building a New Responsive Form in SharePoint Online. I need to combine multiple people picker controls (one user each) into one single people picker list column. The combined column does not need to be visible on the form. I can do it in a workflow, but I would have to replicate the same "Set Field" Action in multiple places. So, I'd rather have the form handle it. I've tried several different variations of this basic approach:Create a text variable from the individual "People picker" controls, then use a rule to set the connected multi- people picker from the Text variable. This works when there are only two fields filled, but when the third is added, the second one gets lost. Create a text variable from the individual "People picker" controls, then use a rule to set a Text control connected to the "Person or Group" column. I've tried multiple userid formats, semicolon in between, comma, space. I can't find a combination where this will save directly to the Person or Group colum
We have in issue with Date Picker control on Nintex Responsive Form. The year range is displayed on the form is for the last 10 years only. If we select a year it then goes back to another 10 years. How can I change the year range to display last 100 years by default?
I am trying to display a message on form submission after user saves an SP2013 list item.Here's the custom JS in Form settings:function MyButtonOnClientClick(){Â setTimeout(function() {Â Â Â SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose('Working on it', 'Please wait, the form is being submitted...');Â Â }, 10000);Â }Â Added the following to OnClientClick action of Submit button:javascript:MyButtonOnClientClick()The wait screen doesn't get displayed and item gets saved to SharePoint list.Most previous posts with similar issue seem to do with the function call inside setTimeout function but that doesn't seem to be the problem here.Any suggestions please?
Are there any advantages using a repo like git for exported .nwf (Nintex Workflow Files)? Currently discussing this topic, but I can't figure out any advantages besides the central repository, for example when you have a workflow which is used in different sites. In that case .nwf files would be stored in different site collections.Is anybody using Git (or other vendors) as repository? Would like to here also your opinions about advantages for using a repo.
Our environment uses SP2016 on premise - we have one team time off workflow that has been working just fine for a very long time. Just recently a new employee was hired by the organization and he has the same name as one of the users of this particular workflow. Since then the "Employee1" immediately gets an error message -"The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information"- as he tries to submit a time off request. Not sure where the issue is, since the workflow is heavily used and works perfectly for everyone except for "Employee1" since "Same-Name-Employee2" joined. any ideas please?
I am looking for a document repository solution (hosted internally, not cloud-based) that has the following set of features:Statuses: Users can set a status (pending, complete, etc) on the document. Notification system based on the status change. Workflows: Ability to define who the documents go to based on the different statuses. Be able to customize these workflows. Tagging: Users want to be able to tag different sections of a document with certain key words. Search: Ability to search for documents based on content within the document as well as for tags. Merging: Ability to select different pages and/or content within one document and merge that content to another document. Kind of like copy and paste, but more seamless. Archiving: We need to be able to archive documents in some way. Permission System: We want to limit document access to users based on roles (read, edit, delete, etc.) Real-time collaboration: Users should be able to view documents at the same time.I know that ShareP
Hi, Is it possible to create a site workflow that would send me an email when any list on my site is approaching 5000 items, for e.g. when the number of the lists hits 4500? I have an idea how to create this for an individual list but just wondering if there was any easier way to do it for the whole site in one sweep? For reference I'm using Nintex Workflow 2013 and SharePoint 2013.
I was just wondering if it's possible to create a site workflow that has the ability of running an audit log on a SharePoint site. I have the ability to run an audit log on a site, but would like to setup a workflow that runs this report on a weekly basis. I am a Site Collection Administrator, but the requestor does not have this access, so is unable to manually run these reports. We are unable to provide the requestor with this access, so would like the ability to run a workflow that creates this report for the user.Is this possible? If so, how do I set this up? The site in question is on-premis, not cloud.
Hi all, I'm currently trying to set a item property with a value. I created this list: Now I want to use this value in an workflow as an Item Property: I guess I need set a connector between those two, so that the workflows knows that this Item property belongs to "KS". How do I do this? Until now, the Item property is empty. Thanks for your advice!B  Â
