Hello together,I have an issue with Nintex Workflow that is sporadically happening. In the most of my test cases the workflow is finished well but for some reason (unfortunately most in productive operation / productive workflows) some of the workflows hang after the approval step (Request review).In my test cases, the only difference is that I always deposit only 2-3 reviewers. In the productive workflow, it can happen that 10-15 reviewers are specified there, but I don't think that is the cause.I read some mentions regarding timer service and all but I'm wondering if it could be an issue withhow my workflow is structured? Here's a screen shot of the workflow history: Here you can see, the workflow gets stuck after the request review (approval task) is completed. In this case, the approval task was approved from all defined reviewers and workflow does not show any errors in the logs. Nor does it cancel or end the workflow.All these steps (request review, task reminder & complete w
Hi All,I am working in Nintex 2013. I have bit huge workflow having 8-9 approvals stages (probably > 200 action items). When i publish this WF and save my list item, nothing happens till 3-4 min. After 3-4min. and thereafter WF works fast. What could be the reason for this? Does Nintex engine takes time to load initially after publish or something like?
Hi,we are migrating from SPOnPrem 2016 to SPOnPrem 2019.During testing our Nintex Forms we detected an issue regarding the display of number columns in the forms. On SP2016 the numbers are displayed without thousand delimiters. In SP219 the numbers contains the delimiter(comma or dot, depends on regional settings). Is there a possibility to enable the old display form without the delimiter?Thanks,Lutz
I have a form where at present the user has to select another person from a "people" function to provide approval. Within the workflow the person selected receives a "flexi Task". I wish to limit this list to a select few users, not the entire SharePoint list currently available within the "people" function. I did think using a "choice" would be easiest, but then how do i get the workflow to lookup the person selected in the "choice" to then assign the flexi task to?Many thanks. Andy.Â
The "save" button in the form should only save the item while the "save and submit button" should save the form and run the workflow. The problem I am having is that my workflow runs even if the save button is pressed. Right now my workflow runs when a new item is created so I am guessing that is the problem. So how can I utilize the save button without running a workflow AND automatically run a workflow when a user clicks on the "save and submit" button?
Again.. to new to get it.., I want to pickup a value based on a rule using the claculated value. UI want to pickup what user changed a dropdown value to "Complete". I started like this.

Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to resolve this issue -- I'd like my nintex form to have dynamic links to other forms on the system. The dynamic link is a custom built from a field value in the form. This works. However, I want the link to open in a new window. How do you force the link to open in a new window?Â

I have created a list and edited the Item Form using Nintex Responsive Forms. When I save the List as a Template, and use the template to create a new list from that template, the form reverts back to the default SharePoint form. We are deploying this list to several dozen project sites all built to be the same. Is there any direction on how to save the Nintex Form with the Custom List template?
Hi Everyone,New here but have been working with Nintex in the past. Have been away from nintex for almost 2 years. Now i have a new form and just need some ideas as to how to run the workflow. Basically I have 13 steps. Each step needs to be completed before next step starts. I need to email people on each step but limit the emails to 1 even though users can come in and edit the form. Once a step is put in a complete status using a SharePoint dropdown list. Now i was going to just build a long "runIf" and check if the step is "comeplete" and check if email has been sent by using a field with a yes no statusHowever I'm sure there are better ways of doing this??? Any ideas? Also my form is just a long form with 13 sections.. if there is a neater way that is simple i would love to know. The design could be better but i just want to keep it as simple as possible  Thank youJ
I have a Nintex form with 3 option (radio) buttons, a Submit button and a Cancel button. Each option button references different forms. The form that should be opened will depend on the option button selected and also should only be opened when the Submit button is clicked. Â Can someone tell me how I can achieve this, please?
I have an odd one. We have Nintex (and) SharePoint 2019 Server running. Until recently, emails had been sent via an internal Exchange Server, and everything was working normally - Everything displayed as expected, and the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons sat on the screen as normal in the workflow task form.A few weeks ago, we migrated to O365 and Exchange Online (EXO), while keeping our internal SharePoint server unchanged. Since this migration to EXO, the email header information for the initiating item contains much larger strings that do not seem to wrap, thereby expanding the field size to 3-4 times the normal width. This is expanding the width of the Workflow Task form, and pushing the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons off the screen, causing many of my users to think they have disappeared completely. -had anyone experienced this (or something similar) before?-Is there a way to turn 'word wrap' on for the email header field? I have looked for this column, and can't find it in any of the normal
What's the difference between the Development and Production publishing option for a Responsive form in 2019 on-premise?
Hi All, I am doing duplicating an item in same sharepoint list, using Nintex Workflow. I am able to duplicate the item, edit the XML, make the fields emplty using Regex action, and have update the name of duplicated item.But after the workflow is finished, when I try to edit the duplicated item, like adding approvers, it doesn't save the information, it update the approvers in original item.This SharePoint list is connected with InfoPath form, we need to fill the form and submit it, to create an item in SharePoint list.  Note: To update the duplicate item, we need to open form of duplicated item, and fill the fields there, but after submitting this form it saves the information in original item form, this is the issue. Thank you in advance for any help.
Hello, when creating multiple workflows using Nintex, and the workflows are routed to 4 people but the first person takes 3 or more days to review/approve. Is it possible to route to 3rd or 4th person then back to 1 and 2?
Hi all! I faced an issue with my workflow while I was trying to send an email to a Domain Group. Persons that are in that group simply do not get the email, the workflow does not give any error. The other types of shared emails seems to work. Did anybody had this issue before?
I've seen others 5 years back with this question and no solution posted.I have Content Organizer enabled and rules working to move an item from Drop Off Library to the correct destination library providing I complete the last of the mandatory fields/columns for the given content type using a standard SharePoint form. The message is clear and re-assuring that if you click Submit, and if the rules are correct, then the item will transfer and a URL will be posted on a confirmation page. When using Nintex responsive forms is there a way to kick off the content organizer? I've heard said, and will test, that if the conditions are met the timed daily process will move the document but overnight delivery isn't going to fly.
Sorry if this has been asked before. I read through at least fifteen different posts and have not found anything that works for me. I'm sure it's super simple and I'm just not getting it. I am using responsive forms (on-premise). I have a single line textbox control named "Part#". I want to hide this control based on two other controls. But it needs to be an "or" statement. I only want to show the Part# field if the Cost is less than "4900" OR if Classification (choice field) is equal to "Classified".  I applied a rule to the control and have tried the rule to hide with the following functions with no luck: Classification!="Classified" || Cost<"4900" or(Classification!="Classified",Cost<"4900") not(or(Classification=="Classified",Cost>"4900")) And oddly enough some of these rules ended up acting like an && because if I selected the Classified choice and put a cost of 5000 then the field was revealed but not if I did just Classified or just 5000, it stays hidden. For te
Experiencing some intermittent failure notifications on a SharePoint workflow. At first glance it appears to deal with an input format, but I'm having difficulty locating the culprit and I'm unable to replicate it. If anyone has experienced an error like this or could help me decipher the message to help me locate the problem, I would gladly accept the help.  RequestorId: e1e87a0a-36c3-e71e-0000-000000000000.

Hi there Nintex community,We have been using Nintex Forms 2013 on my IE11 browsers until recently and now starting to change to use Microsoft Edge Chromium as standard across our organisation. Unfortunately we have noticed that a number of our forms to do not render correctly in Edge with many panels being rendered with scroll bars 😞  The page should look like this (Edge in IE mode)I have tried to rectify this expanding the panels and moving the panels, but that has had no effect. Does anybody know if there is a way to fix the rendering issues with Edge easily or will we have to redesign the whole form to be compatible with Edge?Any advice on this? Â
I have a Calculated Value field in my form that displays the current users Job Title using this formula: userProfileLookup(Current User, "Title") Is it possible to identify from that Calculated Value field everyone that has the word "Vice President" in their job titles? Ideally, I'd like to have another Calculated Field that gets populated with "Vice President" anytime someone has that in their job title.
