I'm new to nintex forms and trying to add an attachment control into the Nintex Form. But the attachment control is not found under the Form Controls(neither in General or SharePoint or List Columns). My form is under the Document Library. Please help !
In SharePoint 2016, I am using a site workflow to copy over content from one list to another. I am using a Create Item control. All fields are getting copied over successfully. However, I have a Owners field that is of Person or Group type. The workflow reports an error.  I created a variable called var_Group of Person Or Group type in my workflow. Then stored the Owners value into it. The Owners field in my destination list is grabbing data from this variable in my Create Item control. The return type is string.  Any ideas. Thanks a bunch.  Mayank
Hi,We have in issue with Date Picker control on Nintex Form. The year range is displayed on the form is for the last 10 years only. If we select a year it then goes back to another 10 years. How can I change the year range to display last 100 years by default?Out Nintex form version is 2.3.3.1 and we run it on SharePoint 2013.ThanksTony
Hello all and Happy New Year!I have a client using SharePoint 2013. No changes have been made to the workflow design in over 2 years. All users who are included in the workflow design/logic receive their workflow notification emails without issue. For one user, they get the workflow task assigned to them, but the email never is sent to them. The on-prem team checked their Exchange servers and see the emails sent for all users but this one particular user.I created a simply workflow with a send notification and hard-coded this user's information via people picker. I ran it against one of the eInvoices in their list. They received the notification email from the workflow. It's been close to a month since this has started. I had the user try setting up the user profile sync service to connect to their AD and refresh the user information but this did not help. Thoughts anyone?Thanks,Steve
Hello All,  I have a workflow that has been in place for years with no problems running. The workflow runs when an item is created. One of the actions that it does is after a query, it gets an item from the collection (simple step).  For the past week, that action has been giving the index error for collection variable BUT it only does it when triggered by someone else. This happens EVERY time.  I have created dummy items and the workflow works with no problem. After errors on someone else, I cancel the errored workflow and manually restart it and it works as well.  Nothing changed in the workflow that would cause this to happen.  So far I have removed and them imported the workflow again and it still does the same thing.  Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening?Â
We want to make a standard form with our own logo instead of the Nintex logo.In the community they say that it is possible but that it has to be created on farm level. Couse this item/answer is from 2014 i wonderd if there is a other way to create a standard form without placing it on farmlevel. I know there is a possibility to import and export but that is not what we want we want that every form has the same logo.Â
I'm using a rule to compare two strings and format the control (turn red) if they are different. Everything works great unless I encounter a string containing a double-quote. The fields are descriptions and often contain measurements, such as Length is 11". The rule is simply DescOriginalValue == DescNewValue.The rule works as expected when the form is in edit mode, but when in View mode, the result is false. I think the rule is getting tripped up on the double-quote, but why does it work when the form is in Edit modeÂ
Hey Guys I'm trying to set the default Value of my Nintex form Lookup Control to the first available value.I'm using a URL Parameter to filter the lookup control, so there is always only 1 available value.Like that: https://SITEURL/_layouts/15/NintexForms/Modern/NewForm.aspx?List=97e2b282-83ec-4a31-8eca-76993f1240b6&PartnerID=46So my goal would be, if PartnerID from the QueryString is not empty, use the first Value as Default Value.Is this possible? I'm really bad in Javascripts so have no idea. 🙂 This example I found is not working for me:NWF$(document).ready(function() {var defaultPartner = NWF$("#" + lookupPartner).val();if (defaultPartner == '0') {NWF$("#" + lookupPartner).val('1');}} ); I set lookupPartner as Client ID variable of the lookup Control. Best Regards
Greetings:  The original design of a form for an application set a limit of 10 rows for a repeating section. At the time this limit was way more than anyone anticipated would be needed. However, a user has completed a form that requires more than 10 rows. I removed the limit and republished the form, but it does not apply to existing forms, only for new form. Is there a way to allow more rows for certain existing forms without asking the user to complete a brand new form?  Thanks!
So today is my first day using Nintex forms for Sharepoint. I started with a new blank list. I launched the program, chose Responsive Form and started dragging controls onto the form and while I'm not an expert at it this is not my first time doing Sharepoint Form Development.Form looks good. I published to the site list and clicked new. Form loaded...filled it in. Submitted.In the Sharepoint view the only column was Title. Since I am not using the Title field there was nothing there. No columns with any of the Nintex form data were there. So, I opened the list settings in Sharepoint hoping I could find the new columns/fields there. No new fields. I need to be able to view this list with columns and I need to be able to export the list data to Excel for analysis.Did I just spend a crap load of money on a tool that is not going to be able to display its data in Sharepoint?TIA for any help.-steve
Hi guys,I want to display date/time format as below in share point Nintex form:1. Date should be current date  2. time is fixed format 08:00 every time, I can also select to revised them when it is needed.   How do I accomplish that. Many thanks.
I have a document library that I want to use the Nintex form when "uploading a new document" to SharePoint so the user can input all of the document properties at that time instead of the generic screen that only lets you browse for a document. Is this possible? All the sites show how to add attachment control for a list and not a library. How do I add an attachment control to the Nintex form for a library?
Hi, I am using Nintex for SharePoint 2019 on premises using a responsive form.I need to calculate and display a custom format registration number. Currently I do so via workflow and it works fine except that the registration number is not visible to the user in the form until the "Save and continue" button is clicked, wait 10secs or so then refresh the form. This is not a great user experience. I am looking for a way to calculate this registration number (without a workflow, i.e. inside the form) once the "unit" single line text control is populated with data. Using a calculated control in the form doesn't work because the value for the calculated control is "calculated" at the time of form opening and the unit field has not yet been populated. So the result is missing this unit data (the other parts of the number are fine). Responsive forms don't support javascript anymore and there is no inline function "wait" or similar (like its workflow action). Refreshing the form after unit entr
Hi I am trying to detach the nintex content database in PowerShell using the statement: NWAdmin.exe -o DetachDatabase -serverName $dbServer -databaseName $targetNWContentDatabase but keeps getting the following error:Content database 'dbname***' is in use. Detaching it will cause workflow history to be lost and workflows in site collections associated with this database to fail.Are you sure you want to detach this database? (yes / no) Typing yes or y and enter does nothing it just stops here. Have to stop the script to get out of it.Any help will be appreciated. RegardsÂ
Hi Folks, We have a Document Change Request list where an item will have one attachment. Up to now, when a user clicked the attachment to edit it, they would get a pop-up to open the corresponding MS Office client app to make the edit (figure 1). Our organization is in the middle of migrating to M365 and migrated users are now prompted to save the attachment on their device to make the edit while the 2016 users are still prompted to open in the client app (figure 2). The customer wants the original prompt (open in the client app and NOT saving to the desktop) for all users.  Figure 1. Original Desired Pop-Up Figure 2. New Unwanted Pop-Up I have determined that I need a URL with the appropriate URI Schema. I think I am at the 80% solution mark with this but do not know an elegant way to execute the change. What I have done so far is to find the attachment URL, determine the file extension, and then use a switch to select the appropriate "scheme-name". I then created the new URL wit sche
We have a large Nintex responsive form on SharePoint 2016 on-prem. It was working fine for few months. However, nowadays when the user fills all the fields and submits the form,It takes very long time and finally it just ends up showing a blank page. (the record does not get saved) Sometimes, it loads for a long time and asks for credentials. Sometimes, it takes long time and gives an error: "Server connection closed. Description: The server requested closed the connection before the transaction was completed."Attached all the screenshots supporting the problem. Please help solving this issue.
Is there a way to export all workFlows from spsite, all for once.Is there an powershell cmd instead of going to list / open workflow and do export.thank you.
I am using a lookup field to pull in "Client ID" from a separate SharePoint list. I noticed that not all of the "Client ID" values stored in that list are populating in the dropdown.  Any ideas why the full list won't display? There are only 711 items in the list the field is connected to.   Â

I have a Nintex Form for a teamsite (A bit out dated but we haven't moved to Sharepoint fully yet) that has calculated fields that work just fine for me and most of my team. However 3-4 of my team members do not show it functioning as intended. The Code withing the calculated field is the following:  if(formatDate(lookup("EO MOD","ID", Max(lookup("EO MOD", "Report Received By", RecievedBy, "ID",true)), "Issue Report Date"),"M/dd/yyyy")==formatDate(Current Date,"M/dd/yyyy"),"Mod Ticket: " + Max(lookup("EO MOD", "Report Received By",RecievedBy, "ID",true)) + ", for " + parseLookup(lookup("EO MOD","ID",Max(lookup("EO MOD", "Report Received By",RecievedBy, "ID",true)),"Employee Name")), "No tickets submitted today") Or more concisely If('Date of most recent Ticket submitted by this User' == 'Current Date', "Mod Ticket:" + 'ID of most recent ticket' + " for " + 'Name of person ticket submitted for', "No ticket submitted today") A simple if else function in the end. Works just fine and for m
