Really simple one for the pro's. I have a form in which i want to disable several controls if the user ticks a Yes/No. I don't need to hide the fields, just disable them when not required. Thanks, Andy.Â
I have a workflow that worked for a long time with no problem and is now seemingly randomly not sending the task email. I've tried changing many things in the workflow that might be causing the problem. I've looked at the html in the email, the variables, the text in the form. I've tried recreating the form and rerunning it. It doesnt seem to matter what I do, the email never sends. I've changed who I'm sending it to. I've tried adding a new flexi task and only adding an email address, not changing the default values in the task. I don't want to rewrite the workflow as it is a large one. Has anyone come across tasks that suddenly stop sending emails?
I have a document library to which I have added a Responsive form, with a field mandatory, so that the form pops up to have data entered when I add a new item. The issue I am having is that the (SharePoint 2019) "Add a document" dialog is quite a bit narrower than the Responsive form designer, so the items on the form are all shown in a single column, rather than showing the items as I placed them on the form. It even places the Save button above the Cancel button, instead of placing them in the same row (even though there would be enough space for these to be shown side by side). Does anyone know how I could make the "Add a document" dialog wider to show the form more attractively?
I am creating my first repeating section to store notes and comments on a form from successive users.I have managed to capture the data in the sharepoint list (XML multiline text) and then format the elements of it for HTML output and store that as well, however, the entire repeating section that contained the data when I submitted it is an appropriately sized large gray area, instead of continuing to show the data I submitted in the individual fields.I can hit the add row and it simply expands the gray space.Should I not be able to expect another set of the fields to be available for input, even if the submitted data is no longer shown in the original fields?I am probably missing some very simple part of the process or expecting behaviour that is not supported, as I have not seen anyone else reporting this problem.

Hello everyone,I am trying to get xml of SharePoint list item, using web request. The list item is getting created when we submit an InfoPath form. When I use web request it gives me xml but it just consist the columns that are in SharePoint list not the one which are in form.Web request works fine when I use current item (the nodes comes are like my: name, etc.), but when I use URL, it shows unauthorised or give xml like d:name, and not contain the required xml.My Scenario is : I am copying a list item in same list using copy to SharePoint action, then I need to update the xml of new item (copied). I want to do this in same workflow, as if new workflow will be used it will wait for 5 minutes to run, and I want to reduce this time. I try to use update xml directly, by providing URL to xml, as a source, but it shows unauthorised error (I have full control). Thank you @cju , @fccrous , @kchaluvadi , @vadim_tabakman  Could you guys please try to help me
HiI have a Nintex workflow on a list that will write to a SharePoint Calendar.I would like to count how many events are already scheduled on a date. Using a Query, I can find events that start and end on the same day, but it won't count events that last longer than one day. How do can I do this?
I have a "Invoice Total" field that the user inputs a dollar value. I want to set a Calculated Value field based on the dollar value like this:Invoice Total Field Calculated Value Field $0 up to $50,000 Stage1 $50,001 to $250,000 Stage2 $250,001 to $500,000 Stage3 $500,001 to $1,999,999 Stage4 $2,000,000 and over Stage5 For Example, if the user inputs a Invoice Total of $73,000, I'd want the calculated value field to display to "Stage2" etc. What would be the best way to achieve this in the form?Â
How can I show/hide a panel or multiple panel's from a Drop-down in Nintex form? I want this to happen in real time and not when the user hits the submit button. This is for SharePoint 2013. I posted a similar question for a Yes/NO Drop down (Located at this link) and it works great, but when I tried to replicate it for the drop-down with more options, I can't get it to work. Is it because I have more than one option? I'll take a screenshots of what I'm trying to do. If you look at the screenshot for example, there is three options with your "Please select a value" which is a SharePoint placeholder. If I select "Moving Within The Company", the Last Day of Work and some other fields should hide and if I select "Leaving The Company," the "Last Day of Work" Panel should come back.
Hi there, this should be a simple task but somehow I have problems.Due to a lookup to a people picker field (multiple persons possible) on a form, I receive the following (back):[37;#Lucas, Philipp (EXT),86;#Weiss, Michael (EXT),87;#Weiss, Michael (EXT)] I need those people as recipients of a flexi task.So, how do I getTHIS: Lucas, Philipp (EXT);Weiss, Michael (EXT);Weiss, Michael (EXT)OUT OF THIS: [37;#Lucas, Philipp (EXT),86;#Weiss, Michael (EXT),87;#Weiss, Michael (EXT)] PS: I am clueless concerning RegEx - I tried but my brain cannot.  Please help. Cheersmai-kelÂ
Hi all,our Sharepoint and NINTEX Workflows still run with the version 2013. We have a web application (recruitment process) which uses NINTEX WF and infoPath forms.Because this whole process will be moved to SAP (in approx. three, four years), we have to continue and migrate it. A complete new development is not really an option anymore.I am not sure if I can take a new server, install the newest sharepoint (Server Subscription Edition) and run NINTEX and infoPath as it is now.An alternative way could be a new server, SharePoint 2019 and NINTEX Workflows. The problem here is, that the extended lifecycle ends on July 2026. So if there should be a problemwith the move to SAP, we could face another 2end of life2 and a new migration.My questions are:Can we somehow run NINTEX on this "SharePoint Server Subscription Edition" and move the content and workflow databases....?Is it possible to build a new server with SharePoint 2019 and NINTEX 2019 and migrate the databases?What are your experie
Good day, i have made a classic form in nintex with a repeating section and once that the form is submit, the repeating sections becomes blank but in new form it's usable. Does someone have a solution ?
Hallo Everybody,I have a complex Site with different workflows and embeded java scribt. One of my users saved a new form with correct data (Version 1.0), the Workflow should have sent an e-mail, when field send e-mail is yes. But the e-mail didn't go out, so I checked, and now there is a new version (Version 2.0) with field send e-mail is "no". So the Workflow in my opinion worked correct, but the user said, she didn't save the form again. In the Workflow is no funktion that overrides the field. I could't replicate the mistake, because when I save the form again, there is not a complete new version. I also checked the java script, there is also no funktion that fills this field automatically. Any ideas?
I have a requirement to send the Assigned To user an email when they have an overdue task aka the specified due date has passed. I was hoping to utilize the flexi task reminder feature as it is already connected to the task. However, I am unsure of how to set up so that the reminders don't start until the due date has passed and then every day past. So basically I need the reminders to stall for a few days until the due date has passed but the task isn't completed and then have it send a reminder everyday. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Hi I select in my first list/form radio button with needed documents. Then I start the Workflow and would like to update/activate these buttons in the second list / form.Both radio button-lists are the same. The workflow is updating the list with the text but the button won’t activate. Does anyone have any solution for this? Thank you.
Good evening - help! Today I upgraded our SharePoint 2016 on-prem environment to the January 2022 patch level and ever since we are having trouble with our Nintex Workflows (Nintex Forms & Workflow for SharePoint 2016). It seems to be tied to the Timer Service but I can't absolutely confirm that. For e.g. We have a number of site workflows, which, if kicked off manually complete just fine. However if left to the schedule then the workflow bombs out with "Workflow 'x' was canceled by System Account" and "'x workflow' Failed to Start" (see screenshots). Some of our other workflows are also struggling with specific actions in them such as State Machine. Some other list workflows, however, are behaving as normal. We are on the absolute latest version of Nintex for SharePoint, too (4.6.2.40).  Any assistance gratefully received.  Thank you.
Hello, I am currently creating a form that asks for a users software impacts. I have a backend Nintex workflow that executes on each software that is added to the form inside of the repeating section. I am trying to write a rule that can default the "Software Name & Version(auto-populates)" to be required, then if the "Select to Add Software" is selected, then it makes the subsequent questions along with that checkbox required and the "Software Name & Version" not required anymore. Is there a way to do this writing a rule ? Thank you!   Â
Hello - and thanks in advance for looking over my question. I have a simple Nintex Approval Workflow using the Requires Approval action. My question is: I want to give the users the option to either respond to the task email by Lazy Approval OR they can go to the list in Datasheet view and see all approvals pending for them and using a Datasheet view on the list quickly run thru the list and approve or deny. I can't figure out how / what to put in the Datasheet view column that would trigger the workflow that the task has been completed.
How can I show/hide panel from a Yes/NO Drop-down in Nintex form? I want this to happen in real time and not when the user hits the submit button. This is for SharePoint 2013. I'm thinking this can be done with JavaScript but don't know how. See Attached for the image. When the scroll bar is on NO, the Grace Period Calendar shouldn't show unless they select Yes. Can this be done? I'm also down to change it to a check mark if that makes things easier.Â
Does anyone have or can point me in the direction of where to find step by step instructions on how to use a variable to assign a flexi task ?
We have a SharePoint site within our department where people outside the department do not have access. However due to the nature of our work, we require responses to our work from people outside the department. Do they need site access to be able to view and approve (with comments) the workflow item?
Greetings: I am trying to require that an approver directed to a task form in a Request Approver action provide a comment when rejecting the item. This works fine for me in a test workflow with a simple validation rule applied to the comment box (Comments) :Decision ==1 && isNullOrEmpty{Self}  However, this same rule does not work in my actual workflow. Instead, the form submits without requiring a comment. In fact, even simpler rules like equals(0,0) do not fire. My question is why this rule, or any other rule, is not working in the actual case.I've checked the most obvious causes, such as:Conflicts with other rules in an embedded form (via a PageViewer control): there are none. Rule errors That Decision == 1 is true and and isNullOrEmpty{Self) is true (they both are true) One possibility does occur to me: I have several Request Approver actions in this workflow on different branches of a state machine. When I created these the workflow canvas always asked if I wanted to clo
I have been struggling with this issue for a while, I know there's a lot of solutions for this but none of them worked for me. See attached picture for details. Basically I get this error below: You are not authorized to respond to this task. Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.
We have look up field which always has one value as its option. The goal is to the only option automatically in the dropdown.  Using JavaScript we have managed to visually set the lookup dropdown control to automatically display the only option. However, when saving the form the control value is not saved to the connected SP field.  Lookup value is saved correctly in SP Field if selection is done manually. Someone else encountered similar behaviour and any solutions to this unusual behaviour?
We would like to export a number of unconnected fields within a Nintex form which currently have their value saved only in the Form Data. Due to the huge amount of fields in the form, it is not feasabile to create a SharePoint field for each control. Â Our aim is to iterate the SharePoint list and export the form data into a CSV file. Would this be possible to export via Powershell? We are open to any other process as long as we hold one csv as a result.
