I have a choice field in my list which allows users to select multiple choices. This Field is called in multiple different Forms throughout the Workflow. The corresponding Fields inside those Forms are connected to the List-Field.  Problem is: Whenever more than 1 choice is selected in a form the following Forms do not retain the selection. The Selection is saved correctly on the item in the List but the Forms are unable to load the selection. If done with only 1 choice selected, everything works fine and the forms display the selection correctly.  We use Sharepoint 2019 On-Premise with Nintex Workflow and Forms
My goal is: User put csv file to library and run workflow on it. This workflow create list with the same name of csv and also put all rows as a items to that new list. I know how to do almost all but when using create item action always there is hard coded drop down of existing lists in site. 😞 So How I can put that new list and continue in wf to create items. ? Any help ?

Howdy folks, Has anyone ever tried to extract a field value from a Repeating Section Row that is being deleted using JavaScript? The logic is: the delete event needs to trigger a recalculation of a (not in repeater) text field. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe
I have a checkbox on my form (responsive form, SharePoint 2013) that has some rules on it so that it becomes disabled if certain criteria is met. I'd like to display some type of validation message whenever the checkbox is disabled but am not sure how to. Ideally, it would be like how you can type in a validation message if you have a rule to invalidate a field. right now I have a label control with the message I want to display and am trying to find a rule to make this work using "hide". Is there a runtime function to check to see if a field is disabled?
I'm looking for any insight as to why a user is getting the error message "Sorry, something went wrong" when trying to respond to a flexi task. I am using SharePoint 2013 and used a Flexi task action to assign a task to a user. Delegation is turned on and the user originally assigned the task delegated the task to a different person. When this person clicks on the task they get an error. They have contribute permissions to everything on the site and the task list and the error is giving no correlation ID. What are other use cases as to why this may be happening?
You can detect your form mode in JavaScript using the following syntax:':IsNewMode'':IsEditMode'':IsDisplayMode'For example:if ':IsNewMode' { alert('Form is in New mode');}if ':IsEditMode' { alert('Form is in Edit mode');}if ':IsDisplayMode' { alert('Form is in Display mode');}

We are using Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2016, and on the Nintex responsive form, we found a problem that the attachments control are validating even when it is hidden and disabled. We want the attachment to be mandatory (minimum=1) only on a certain condition, however the control always expects the file even when the control is hidden or disabled.
Hello,I have 2 lists in the same site collection. I need to take the items whose year is 2021 from List A and copy them into List B. I assume a query function is involved but am not sure how to go about setting that up. I am able to create a simple 'copy list item' workflow that I can run on each individual item but that will take me forever and I would like to be able to send all 2021 from List A into List B in one fell swoop.

Hello, I'd like to know how to refresh a List Lookup field on Nintex Forms On-Premise. I have a form that contains a Lookup List field connected to a 'Client' list on SharePoint 2019 on-prem. I have also created a JavaScript button (labelled 'Add Client') to add a new item to this list. This 'Add Client' function successfully updates the 'Client' list with a new 'Client' item via a Window prompt. However, I haven't found a way to refresh the List Lookup field to reflect the addition in the list. If the form is closed and reopened, I can see the new value(s) in the List Lookup. However, I'd like to refresh the form in real-time. Is this possible? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a workflow where I want to get the length of a string (Eg: TE00000284) to use it in further cases.I tried using fn_Length(TE00000284) in 'Convert Value' Action and tried to store the length in number variable andTE00000284 has been passed in single line text variable. But, unfortunately it's throwing an error stating"Error parsing value. Value 'fn_Length(TE00000284)' is not compatible with the selected output variable type Number (double)." Please help me with the error...
I have a form that has 2 lookup lists that lookup the Site and Buildings, these are 2 separate lists. I also have a third list that contains the approver for the building/site which i would like the approver name and email address to be pulled through from this list onto the form.I have the lookup lists pulling the data through, but i'd like to have the approver name and email address populated on calculated values.The formulas that I have used are:lookup("Approvers","Building",parseLookup(Building),"Approver")lookup("Approvers","Building",parseLookup(Building),"Email")But this doesn't pull the data through that I'm expecting. There are 2 sites, both sites could have building names/numbers that are the same, but with different approvers.

I have a list which contains rows of data that has been added from a repeating row in another form. I then have a site workflow that extracts that data into a CSV and sends it out attached to an email. That all works fine. I created a custom start form and some associated variables to contain some of the user data for audit purposes. The form starts the workflow, which runs through and completes. All works well. Â I have been asked if I can present the workflow history on the same page as the list (in a web part), so that a person who launches the workflow can see immediately that the workflow has completed and can see the data that has been sent via email. The problem I have is that the Nintex Workflow history list is hidden and I cannot find it when I want to add a content search or query web part. I created another history list and did not check the hidden list checkbox, but the list is not visible on the site collection contents. How can I show the workflow history in the way that
Hi, I'm after some custom javascript to insert into a Nintex form. If you any examples that would be great.Â
I have a SharePoint list column that has its data formatted with lastname, firstname. I'm trying to use fn-SubString to pull out the first name. The problem is Nintex does not provide a function to give me a numeric count as to where the comma is. I would like to use this as my starting position.Is it possible to extract the first name in this example using the Nintex inline functions?
Has anyone experienced this? I've tried declaring variables, but when I do, the form is blank in preview as well as when published. This also happens when I use any dynamic field option (red underlined) in my formulas. However, I can manually type in the name of the field and it works. Nothing has worked for declaring a variable. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.Â
I was wondering if it's possible to connect to an Azure SQL database from a Nintex Workflow running on Sharepoint 2013 on premise. I have multiple workflows where I connect to an on premise MS SQL server, but cannot get this to work with Azure SQL.I've tried using many different connection strings, but keep getting "Unexpected SQL error occured". I know that the account I use has access to the database, so there might be other issues like firewall settings.However, before I start messing with the firewall, can anyone tell me if it is even possible to connect to Azure SQL from Nintex 2013?
We suddenly got an error in some users while using Nintex Workflow. The workflow is not modified since 2019 so I think this is not a logic error.Error Message "Failed to start workflow. The workflow cannot access the item that it has been applied to." Based on my research and read through out the forum, this is possible a permission issue. But when I check the users with Error Occurred versus users with Completed workflow. Completed and Error users has the same permissions (Verified using 'Check Permission' functionality of Sharepoint). Any suggestions or idea what causing the issue? Thank you.
I was trying to reset about 27radio button options when user's switch options from "No" to "Yes".I have the following JQuery rule that is working perfectly for up to 10 of my fields, then the code stops working.Does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a better code to use or other work around? Exp_cid is where I have my "yes" or "no" values.Level1_cid all the way up to Level27_cid. NWF$(document).ready(function(){var choice = NWF$("#" +Exp_cid);choice.change(function(){NWF$('#'+ Level1_cid).find('input[type="radio"]').prop('checked', false);; });} );
Good day, I trust you well, I was requested to build an Access Request Workflow for Users to Request for Access to Power BI Apps (Five Power BI Apps), So the below are the requirements1. Keep previous Access Request (Declined or Approved) 2. Two Approvers The BI Manager and the Popia Approver3. Deactivate (But keep previous records) Meaning a User can have only one Active Access request, If a user decides to add another app on top of the ones they previously requested for they will have to submit a new Access Request and the old one will be deactivated and activate the new if the Approver approved the new request and keep the deactivated record. So I am having an issue. for the user to know where is their Workflow after submission I added "Where is my workflow" Choice field, and for they to see is is Active or not I added "IsActive" Yes or No Field, I used a "Update Multiple Items" to filter and Update Multiple Records. Was Able to successfuly Update "IsActive" But the problem comes w
