Hi Folks, I am building a form with a repeating section that has two panels (aligned vertically). The first panel is visible by default. The second panel should only appear later in the approval process. My problem is that there is a great deal of whitespace visible when the second panel is hidden. I have seen some old posts where the request was made in the uservoice forum to add a resize feature.  Does anyone know of any way to accomplish this yet?  I have seen you, @MegaJerk, popping up in many of the repeating section posts and was hoping that you had some guidance for me. I will say at the outset that I am not strong in JS but with a little guidance, I can usually get posted code to work if JS is needed for this.  Thanks and Regards, Patrick
I'm struggling with a validation rule on a new responsive form. In the classic form that I'm replacing, the rule applied to the Cost Centre control was:  contains(GL code, "5580")&&not(contains(Cost Centre, "35")||contains(Cost Centre, "36")||contains(Cost Centre, "38")) The function was to invalidate the control if GL code contained 5580, but the Cost Centre control did not contain 35 or 36 or 38. Any ideas how to replicate this in a new responsive form? I've tried various combinations of this type of formula, but I can't get it to work. convertToString(contains([Form].[Repeating section 1].[Current row].[Cost centre], "35") || (contains([Form].[Repeating section 1].[Current row].[Cost centre], "36") || contains([Form].[Repeating section 1].[Current row].[Cost centre], "38"))) Any suggestions appreciated!
Our site uses Nintex on premise (not Nintex Cloud) for SharePoint. The training videos at Nintex.com are for Cloud and some of the things significantly different than the on premise version. Know of any good Nintex online videos for on premise version? Preferably free but will pay if reasonable.
Hi,when a file is generated (by using Document Generation action) and inside the file there is a variable after fullstop, then the value of variable is not transformed. For example:when I have a string variable like <<Variable_Year>> = 2022and text in the template file is 01.01.<<Variable_Year>> then the outcome in the generated file should be: 01.01.2022, instead I receive 01.01.<<Variable_Year>> That only happens when a variable is placed after fullstop/dot. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Thanks!Â
I have a SharePoint list where students can subscribe to exam sessions every tuesday and thirsday. How can I authorize them to subscribe on these two days only? How can I limit the number of students per session to maximum 24? Â Thank you!
I know there is one option 'Custom JavaScript Includes' in the setting of Nintex form. We can include reference for any other library like KnockOut JS or Angular JS in 'Custom JavaScript Includes' option.I want to develop nintex form on SharePoint Server 2013. So my question is that can we include only single JS library or can we include multiple JS libraries?
I'm trying to execute a DocuSign demo. It's failing to run "DocuSign send document" action. I'm getting the following error: "An exception occurred while processing parameter [InputFileToSign]". I've checked my DocuSign account and all the variables seem to be in place, but I'm unable to get past this error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is much appreciated.
Hello, I have list with more than 5000 items, I'm trying to use lookup function to that list in calculated field to get a value. It is simple lookup which looks like this lookup("PO","Title", Control on form,"VALUE"). It is showing #value! error right from the start. Is it possible to use a lookup function for a list with more than 5000 items? Strangely, I have another list which has more items than this one, I'm able to use the lookup to that list. What am I doing wrong?

I have built a workflow that is fundamentally an approval for overtime hours. The list is driven by a Nintex form that contains a repeating section to capture the various entries for a period of a month. That all works well, but I have a problem with capturing the history into the same list. This is because our payroll teams need visibility of an audit trail.To achieve this, at regular points in the process, I have actions that initially retrieve history for that item, from the list column (I called it GenFormHist), which is then added to a multi-line variable varHistory. During the course of the workflow, I read, append and update that column through the same actions, also logging to the Nintex history list as well (which I believe is volatile - max 90 days?)What seems to be happening, is that the initial history entry, when the form is first submitted in a status of New, I simply write a "New item" entry to the history column, then store that into the varHistory variable. The next ac
Hello!  Total newbie here (just got a "crash course" in SharePoint/Nintex a day ago), so I apologize if I misspeak in terms of jargon and syntax. I'm currently working on a project in trying to design a form that serves as a daily debriefing, with the goal of using the form's selections to populate an e-mail body. In the form, I have some functions that would 'show' (aka unhide) certain options dependent on the choice. For example:Departments: Bakery, One-of-A-Kind-GelatoDessert Options: Cake, Croissants, PiesFlavors: Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla- If Bakery is selected, then the dessert options would manifest. If Cake option is selected, then the flavors options would appear as well. Sample E-mails That Would Be SentEmail #1Department: BakeryDessert Option: CakeFlavor: Chocolate Email #2Department: GelatoDessert Option: N/AFlavor: N/A - Ideally, I would like to create custom e-mails based on the choice selected (but that isn't feasible). Instead, perhaps an e-mail w/ each column lis

Hi all, I tried to insert reference in my Query XML and I keep getting the same output as the name of my item Properties or Workflow variables. If I copy and paste the whole XML from my repeatable section field, it outputs fine, but not when I insert my item properties or Workflow Variables.

In Nintex 2013, on an Assign Flexi Task Form, when I select yes or no in a 'Choice' connected to Decision (Task column), a Calculated value always shows -1 for the choice (same for yes and no). I can only make a difference between the values when I don't connect it to the Decision task column, but I have to because I have to move on from the Flexi Task in the Workflow. How can I solve this? One possible solution for me is to add 2 Choices to the Form, one connected to Decision, the other is not connected, but only showing the user one of which to choose from, and according to the choice the other Choice will be the same. How is it possible to set automatically the value of a Choice Form Control according to the choice of the other Choice?
My organization has recently migrated to SharePoint 2019, and since then the hyperlink fields seem broken. I've searched the forum, and this is the thread I've come up with. These instructions don't work any more. Anyone else having this issue? https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/how-to-set-a-hyperlink-field/td-p/17698 Conventional wisdom say that the URL field is populated as such: URL, Display Text This is no working, and it's driving me crazy! HELP!  Â
Hi all, This is my first entry. We are using the German version of Nintex Forms.When an external login happens from an english speaking country, then the english variant of Nintex Forms is loaded. This is ok.But the customer has entries in a list selection which do not exist in our sharepoint list. How can this be. Is there somewhere in Nintex Forms a buffer that I don't know about that can be deleted? Or is there another solution ? I am grateful for any suggestion. (I am the admin, it can't be a visual problem). Kind regards Matthias
I am tasked with displaying courses that were chosen from another list in my form.1. The user selects the record from a dropdown.2. I used a calculated value to get the multi selected courses for the selected record.3. I used a calculated value to get the values from the multiselect returned in the first calculated value.The problem is that only the first id values are returned. I am using if statements in the second calculated value but I think that is not the correct option. If(contains(calculatedCourses,'[4;') || contains(calculatedCourses,',4;'),"Course:"+lookup("Training Types","ID","4","Display Name")+" Hours:"+lookup("Training Types","ID","4","Hours")+" Student/Teacher Ratio:"+lookup("Training Types","ID","4","StudentTeacherRatio"), If(contains(calculatedCourses,'[17;') || contains(calculatedCourses,',17;'),"Course:"+lookup("Training Types","ID","17","Display Name")+" Hours:"+lookup("Training Types","ID","17","Hours")+" Student/Teacher Ratio:"+lookup("Training Types","ID"
I have a workflow that routes a list item for approval to 3 different levels. On the 3rd level the workflow keeps getting suspended with the below error message and I cannot figure out why as it does not happen every time. I have about 10 items that it keeps happening on and I have been able to get 9 of them to go through by terminating the workflow and starting it over from the beginning but 1 continues to fail. (It took multiple attempts to get the others to go through.)RequestorId: ab792796-6574-13d1-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.

Solution must add 2% to the rental rate for each floor above the first floor(for example: floor 2 rate = normal rate x 1.02). This is a task given to me that can be found in the WP02 nintex for sharepoint-basic. The goal is to use a math operation to multiply *1.02 depending on which floor i'm on in the building. First floor being the original rental rate, 2nd floor being rental rate*1.02 and floor 3 rate would be *1.04. Thank you in advance
