Nintex for SharePoint

Hello,I am somewhat of a novice in using Nintex. Creating a form from a single SharePoint list is easy; however, I have three SharePoint Lists that I need to connect to one Nintex form. The total number of data columns exceeds the SharePoint limits, hence multiple lists.The goal is that the end user only has to go to one Nintex form to enter data (which populates back to one of the SharePoint lists) and to view information and progress of their project. Is there a version of Nintex, a webpart, a parent-child relationship, or any other option that allows one form to connect to multiple SharePoint lists? If so, what might that be?Thank you!

I am working on a validation rule that will be triggered if a checkbox is checked. If checked, either a value will need to be entered in the textbox or an attachment will need to be added.  Currently I have one rule assigned to the textbox control and another to the attachment control.Ultimately, I want a single rule, but I have not been able to get the syntax correct. The textbox validation works as expected. However, the attachment validation will only activate after the textbox validation. Here is the configuration. Checkbox: MFO_Spec_ExceptionTextbox: Spec_Exception_CommentsAttachment: Spec_Exception_Attach (css class attCtrlClassName7) JavaScript: // Spec_Except_Attach// Spec_Except_Attachfunction GetNumberOfAttachments7(attCtrlClassName7){ return NWF.FormFiller.Attachments.GetAttachedFilesCount(NWF.FormFiller.Functions.GetFillerDivObjectForControl(NWF$("#" + NWF$("." + attCtrlClassName7 + " .nf-attachmentsRow")[0].id)).data('controlid'))}Textbox Validation and(MFO_Spec_Excepti

I have a SharePoint List using a Nintex form. The name if the list is "OnboardingOffboarding".I have several columns that contain data records that was input from the Onboarding panel when entering employee information: "Employee", "Manager", "Employees Email", etc. There are 2 panels. One called "Onboarding" and the other is "Offboarding"There is a 3rd panel that has a main People picker that both panels use named "EmployeeName" that's connected to the "Employee" column that we want to utilize for both panels.Once a person is populated in people picker and the "Onboarding" panel is chosen, it pre-populates the employee name, manager, employee email, etc. from userProfileLookup. The other fields are textboxes, dates, and dropdowns.  What I need is when the "Offboarding" panel is chosen and you put in a name in the "EmployeeName" people picker, that it checks and matches the Preferred Name value in the "Employee" column, and if true, displays it in the calculated field named "EmployeeDi

Goal - fields set by Site WF will update the List for all items. 2 date fields are required/start variables in the site wf - which kicks off an email with those 2 fields and a link to a new listform. Once the form is begun, the user can save/continue later  - and then submit.  The list workflow will kick off upon new item and update the item name, route through approvals then PDF the form and send to final destinations.  HOW do I configure so that the Site WF, which has collected 2 date fields (stored in variables), will ALSO update in the listform fields (so the user clicks the link to open a new form and the 2 date fields are present) AND those 2 date fields are also populated in the list (for all items).  the 2 date fields do not change (until next quarter). 

Goal - scheduled wf to send email to AD group containing Dates and a formlink to a list form.  List has wf to route form through approvals, PDF it then route to final destination doclibs. current design:The Site WF collects 2 date fields (I have these as start variables that are required - I have the Site WF to start manually) then send an email to an AD group. The email contains these date variables in the email, additionally a formlink to a listform. The site WF never kicks off, receives this error message: Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.

I have a form that was created using Nintex. We made some changes to the form.One of the changes resulted in the Enhanced Rich Text Field being un-editable.Why is this field no longer editable ?I have checked all the settings on the back end. See the images below FieldSharePoint SettingsNintext Settings 

Hi!I have an if formula that returns the current user and date when specific check box is checked by a usedbelow is formulaIF((Post 2 Pellet visual qual trainer==true), (userProfileLookup(Current User “PreferredName”)+"*+formatDate (Current Date, "MM/dd/yyyy"),””) my problem is, when a different user goes to edit the form, their name overrides the original users name, so now there’s no way to know who checked the box initially.is there a way I can edit the formula so that once the field is filled, it won’t override with another users name?

Hi I noticed that the attachments (ie excel file) included in the start event form does not seem to get carried through the workflow for review / approval. Would you be able to give any advice on this please?thanks

Hi,Do we have SDK for SharePoint 2019 to create custom actions in Nintex workflow?  

Getting error when publishing the workflow in nintex. soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow: This feature has been temporarily disabled.

Good day, I have a workflow in Nintex 2019 and it has to pause 5 minutes then send email notification, however nothing seems to be wrong but the notification are not sent, when I check the idle time, it’s always increasing which I think that could be the cause, every time a user complain of not receiving email notifications, I always have to restart the workflow and it works, is there a way to make the idle time less or stop the workflow from idling for too long, the below is a screenshot of a  workflow that has not sent through notification, the pausing time has already lapsed and notification are not sent.  

Nintex 2016/SP 2016 on prem - Need to set the destination CT for a DocGen PDF (Output file URL is stored in a variable) routes/moves the PDF to the destination document library. docgen works great then we build a string for the MMD field call web svc to set that MMD field Update fields for CT in destination library…. this is the issue. Each configuration attempt receives an error in the WF.Narrowed it down to WHERE statement in the ‘Update Item’ action. without the pdf list id (we used to get when using muhimbi action to convert to PDF) how do we configure so that the item knows which item?  the ID will be different. *have done this successfully with Muhimbi action - in that solution, we used the List Item ID that was stored in a variable in the muhimbi action.  the DocGen doesn’t have the same configuration. 

Hello, My form include a Multi line controller, I would like to remove the scrollbar and allow dynamic size of the controller. To do this I created a css class auto-expand-textarea, see below. It works but my controller is overlapping other controllers of the form. Resize at startup is Yes.I spent hours trying to solve this, chatgpt also, including javascript… still no answer :/ anyone else in the same situation? .custom-form {     display: block;     width: 100%; /* Le formulaire prend toute la largeur */     overflow: hidden; /* Empêche les débordements */ }.custom-layout {     display: flex;     flex-direction: column;     gap: 15px; /* Espacement entre les contrôles pour éviter les chevauchements */ }.auto-expand-textarea {     min-height: 50px;     max-height: 500px;     overflow-y: hidden;     resize: none;     width: 100%;     box-sizing: border-box; }.other-control {     position: relative;

Following a number of years of heavy usage in one of our applications based on Nintex for SharePoint we are noticing a degradation of performance in that particular SharePoint site. Upon further investigation we found that the root cause of this issue is the amount of even receivers stored at site level (around 60,000)  The followng query gives us the result shown further down SELECT         class,count(*)    FROM        [dbo].[EventReceivers]            group by class    order by class  The name column (Not displayed above) shows “Created By Nintex Workflow Start Action “ and the class column (as displayed above) shows  “Nintex.Workflow.Activities.Services.WorklfowCompletedEventReceiver”Is there a way of purging these unwanted event receivers especially for items whose workflow has completed?Thanks

How do we get all results to be stored in a variable so that we can later use that variable to send out an email to multiple email addresses?In a Site WF running dailyThere are multiple Sql Queries configured the same (just on different views in db) pulling back multiple email (contacts) Storing in a collection variable - in the WF History, we can see only one email address is being stored (there should be several) When testing the query in the wf, we get multiple results - SQL Query is a successwe want the collection variable to take each email address and separate it by a comma or a semicolon - for emailing purposes. 

Hi there We followed this process to uninstall Nintex Live framework: Then we updated Nintex to latest version, and all of this came back. What is the process to prevent the Nintex Live framework components from coming back after each Nintex update? Thank you

My workflow is heavy with around 150 actions, I’m not sure on what could the reason why the import fails.can someone help me on this please? Thanks

We are using On-PremiseNintex workflow version: 5.2.6.0SharePoint: SharePoint Server 2019Nintex workflow progress was supposed to show completed actions in green color and on-going action in yellow color. We found that in case of workflow issue some of the workflows, workflow progress diagram is showing unactioned actions too in green color, so we lost the trust on workflow progress diagrams.Can someone help us with what could be the cause of this issue please? Thanks

Hello!I’m struggling with grabbing a value from a repeating section (Nintex O365 forms / Responsive forms) and applying it to a text field.. When I input a date in the “from Date” field of the repeating section, I have a variable that outputs to a label below but I would like to apply that value in the label to a text field that is not in a repeating section to capture in case it is changed in the future.Is that possible? If so, how? Thanks 

I have Nintex form with a Choice column that has multiple checkbox enabled where the user can make multiple selections:  [] Repetitive [] Non-RepetitiveI want to have another field "WireType" require a value if 2 checkboxes above is selected values. I created a validation rule below but it doesn't work. What's the correct rule to apply? I'm appreciated for your help.WireType == "Repetitive" && WireType == "Non-Repetitive" &&isNullOrEmpty(Amount) I also tried this rule and it doesn’t work:contains (WireType, "Repetitive") && contains(WireType, "Non-Repetitive") && isNullOrEmpty({Self})

I have a “Today” column in Sharepoint that needs to be set at the current date, I understand the [Today] does not work in the calculated column formula. I have read that you can create a workflow that will set a “today” column to today’s date, will modify the workflow to repeat, pausing for 12 hours at a time, so that we always have “Today” as today’s actual date. I have tried to do that and it does not seem to be working correctly or at all. Not sure what I am doing wrong, is there any Nintex How-to’s I can follow to set this up to work?  I need it to calculate and update 30-60-90 day before expiration for certifications.   Side note, we had migrated our site from 2013 to 2019 and it seems to be stuck on the today date that it was moved. Not sure if that caused this to not work or if there is a glitch/change in 2019.  It seemed to have worked before.  All workflows have been republished. 

I am using Nintex form in SharePoint 2016. I have a drop down field in the Nintex form that pulls out values from a look up list.For instance, there is a field called, “Vendor” in my main list and it pulls out Vendor Names from a list called, “Vendor.” The Vendor field in the Main list is a drop down (choice field). In the look up list there is a field called, “Obsolete”, which is a Yes/no field.I need to pull out values based on the following criteria,“Select all values where the Vendor list where Obsolete = No.”Do I need some kind of script for that? What are the options. Thanks in advance. Regards,  Mayank Shyam
