Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have a Nintex form request in Sharepoint 2019 - when a user fills out a new product request form, they have to choose a product type (column) in a dropdown: Product 1, Product 2, Product 3. It should then generate an unique ID specific to that product chosen -see below- and I would like it to show up in the “Form ID” field (column)for example:Product1-2025-0001Product1-2025-0002Product1-2025-0003Product2-2025-0001Product2-2025-0002Product3-2025-0001Product3-2025-0002
I have a list A with all my workflows and Forms. When I select “Site” in the current list, I want it to go to List 2 which has “Site” and “QA Manager” to lookup the value of Site and return the value associated with it. How do I accomplish that? Table two:A Manager | SiteBob | Site 1Cheryl | Site 2 When Site 2 is Selected in List one, it will return Cheryl to the QA Manager column on List one. Thanks in advance
I have an integer field in a Nintex Form that is automatically adding 2 additional zeros at the end when the form is saved. It adds up to a total field. The total however is correct and doesn’t include the additional zeros. I looked at the field in the list and form and nothing stands out. I even tried deleting and readding that field on the form, but it doesn’t work.An example is attached, I entered 6,379,813 in CAPTIAL $ IN START YEAR field but when I save it the field shows 637,981,300. The total however shows 6,379,813. This is happening to all the data in that column. I have noticed this issue very recently. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Query List in a workflow that needs to fetch the Status (Choice Column with Available and Not Available) as a choice. I am trying to filter out those that are set to available?? I have tried this method: I have tried setting a variable and then changing the is equal to, to the new variable, but it fails to return any results: Is there a way to effectively accomplish this step?Thanks in advance
The issue is the with Nintex workflows. Some of the action are not working properly after the installation of the above patches. The workflow that contains site workflows and list workflows that have pauses, state changes, or another action are getting stuck and not moving further and fails.

I am using Nintex workflow in SP 2016 on premise. An approval workflow uses a Flexi task to send approvals. I have the following Calculated field on the Nintex form of the Flexi Task. userProfileLookup(Current User, "PreferredName") Most of the times, the workflow captures the PreferredName of the Last Respondent and display it correctly. But there are times when it returns #Value! instead. This happens for the same user, as well at different times. Any idea of what’s going on. Thanks in advance. Mayank Shyam
I have a library with a Form and Workflow attached to it. I have a list which has Manager and Site in it. I want the original library when the Site A is chosen, to go and retrieve the appropriate manager from the Matrix List. How do I best achieve this?

I have a Nintex form on a list (SharePoint 2019).I have a lookup control that points to list “Standards” and save only the value back to a SLT field “Standard”I have a List View on the form that points to a list “Requirements” that has a column called Standard. I wish to pass the Standard value from the lookup control (either item property or control value as it does not change) as a filter to the Standard column for the list view to filter upon.Unfortunately all attempts have failed. When I look at the text for the column “Standard, it looks fine. The control however still has the ID value.Things I have tried:creating a calculated value parseLookup(Standard, true) pointing to the Standard named control (since a calculated value of the named control showed all the ID value jank) and using that as a filter, set to change on view, edit When I use the item property on New form, the entire list view displays as it should Once I choose a Standard and save, coming back in via Edit or Dis
At the moment I am building a workflow which should also be able to create a site page. I do know how to create a list, library and image library with the workflow. But I haven’t figured out yet how create a site page. Any ideas on how to achieve this?
I have a form that has a choice field. We want it to prompt the user to have to add an attachment when certain choice is made.Ex: Ship Cause is LTR then have a message display and ensure the user adds an attachment. I currently tried adding a Validation rule like this, but it isn’t functioning as I want. Ship_x0020_cause == "LTR" && Attachments.count == 0
Note from Nintex Community: This article has been re-created from an older version on an older community platform. Attachments and links from the original post do not currently exist. A screenshot of the original post is attached. The first time I worked with attachments in a workflow, I ask where are the attachments stored and how can I show all attachments in the following workflow tasks to give an approver the possibility to read the attachments.I have attached an NINTEX 2013 example site workflow using NINTEX Forms 2013.A prerequisite is the installation of the Get List Item Attachment in Base64 Custom Action from Vadim Tabakman (see https://workflowexcellence.com/nintex-workflow-get-list-item-attachment-in-base64-custom-action-happy-thanksgiving/).In the first Flexi Task you can add multiple attachments. The task IDs are stored in the workflow variable task_ids This attachments are stored in the task items of the Flexi Task. If the Flexi Task is approved an item is created in a d
Here is the makeup of my workflow, but I am having issues retrieving the email from a user's list, based a username pulled from the XML file. EX: username JaneD to go lookup that username in the list which has these fields. I want it to take varOperator (username) from the XML Query look-cross reference that to look up the username in the list and return the email into the varRequester of the original list.Query List – Reads the library with XML files IE: Factory Logix XML Import For Each Step Target collection = colListOfFiles - Store in varXMLPath Run parallel actions 10 Branches with Query XML = XML Source URL; URL or XML File = varXMLPath EX: Output= /MaterialRequest/RequestedParts/RequestedPart/InternalPart Store in Variable List of Workflow Variables:ID = List Item IDvarQuantity = numbervarPartNumber = Single Line of textvarUnitOfMeasure = Single Line of textvarXMLPath = Single Line of TextvarNotes = Multiple Lines of textvarRequester = Person or GroupvarCreatedDate = Date or Tim
At the moment I am working on a concept version of a sharepoint site for my company. In the endstate it will have dozens of libraries. Trying tot prevent it in becoming too confusing, all the libraries start with the first 4 letters of the departement they belong to. So far so good… but the adminstrators still have alot of scrolling to do to select the right library.Is it possible to make a module on a sharepoint page or a list which filters the names of the libraries on a sharepoint site? If I can put the first 4 letters in a filter then the administrator of the department only sees the libraries which he or she should moderate. Our IT department does not allow us to make subsites so we have to stick to the 'main' sharepoint site.Any ideas on how to achieve this? :-)
I checked a number of posts but could not find quite what I am after.I want to execute a different “Send notification” if the new item is a reply vs. a new post.I’d like to be able to have different subjects with different references, as well as different URLs in the email body.I see there are a couple of Logic and Flow options that would probably serve me well (i.e. Set a condition) for the decision making as to which to send, but I can’t seem to find/figure out what options to use to route the workflow.This seems to me as though it would be something that has been done before. Has anyone got some pointers for me? Or a link to an existing tutorial/solution?TIA
I have two radio button controls (Q7Response, Q8Response). I want to set the value of Q8Response to “N/A” if the value of Q7Response is “No”. I have the following JavaScript code; however, it is not firing as expected.NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { // Get references to the radio button controls var q7Response = NWF$('#' + Q7ResponseClientID); // Replace with actual Client ID var q8Response = NWF$('#' + Q8ResponseClientID); // Replace with actual Client ID // Set up an event listener for changes to Q7Response q7Response.change(function () { var selectedValue = q7Response.find('input:checked').val(); // Get selected value of Q7Response if (selectedValue === "No") { // Set Q8Response to "N/A" q8Response.find('input[value="N/A"]').prop('checked', true); } else { // Optionally, clear Q8Response or leave unchanged q8Response.find('input').prop('checked', false); } });}); the cont
So here is my current set up thus far.I plan on setting up a scheduled Task on our SharePoint server to run every minute and go out to a shared network drive to see if there are any new XML files (in email format”) and transfer them to a SharePoint library that has a workflow on new, that will create a new list item.One of the fields in the XML (userName) file comes across as a text field in this format “LastnameFirstInital” eg: JohnD , we would like the workflow to translate that to the following format in th elist item “LastName FirstInitial” eg: John D; how can I make that happen? Lastly, we have a Scanner gun that we want to be able to scan a barcode and it append data to the list, is there a tutorial to make a barcode scanner work within a SharePoint list/workflow/form? Thank you in advance
I have a library that houses XML files. These files are retrieved from a Network Drive and through PowerShell and a Scheduled Task will deposit any new files located in this Network Drive and dump a copy into the SharePoint Library. Once any new files it will trigger the workflow to render the XML file content into a SharePoint list item. I have almost everything working, but right now I have the Set Variables at the start of the workflow with but it is hardcoded in the value to a specified file for testing purposes EX: https://local/XMLFilesFromFactoryLogix/20241015114157.xml. How should I have it set to that it processes any new XML files into the library? Can I use a wildcard? (*)
With a NINTEX workflow you can create alot of things in Sharepoint. Things like:Sites Pages Lists List items Files Appointments Tasks Folders Etc…Actually I want to create a library by using a workflow. The last time this question was asked in this community is 7 years ago so hopefully today there will be a more user friendly solution available. :-)Does anyone has an idea how to make it possible?
I need create a workflow to make a copy of a record and then prompt to update values before saving it to the same list. *Note there are repeating tables involved
Hello everyone! This is my first post on the forum and I am still a novice/rookie at NINTEX for Sharepoint.At my work I am building a Sharepoint site which has 2 lists: List_courses: It contains the names, startdate, end date and a date on which to subscribing students should be informed via email (inform_date) List_students: This list contains the name, contact details of the students and to which course they subscribed. The course of this list is connected to list_courses.For the list_students I created a NINTEX form and a NINTEX form workflow. In the NINTEX form workflow I want to put in a pause for duration. The workflow has to be paused until the inform_date from the List_Courses is reached. Somehow I doing it wrong and the action of Pause for duration is not working how it should be.Could you advice me what I should fill in below at A, B, C, D and E? We use NINTEX in the Dutch language so I put a translations next to the letters. A big thank you in return for your advice! :-)
