Nintex for SharePoint

LINKS TO NINTEX HELP FROM NINTEX HELP - BROKEN LINKS https://community.nintex.com/thread/5756I complained earlier about the quality of the HELP CONTENTS...This is one of many many examples.Now I hesitate to even look at NINTEX COMMUNITY HELP because of the prevalence of broken links….

This is for Sharepoint 2019 on-prem.I’m working on a project with Sharepoint lists with lots of views (hundreds of views). If I want to add a new list column and make it visible to all views, is that possible through Nintex workflow so I don’t need to edit each view manually? I’ve been looking at webservice queries but the documentation is very difficult to find and digest. I have seen that I can make newFields through an UpdateList method, but I’m not sure how it works or how the syntax is.A second question I have is if it is possible to add a new view to a list automatically through workflow. For instance if I would supply the list-id (or list name), criteria on which to sort and filter the view, and the view name, all through WF variables. If it is possible, how would it be done?

How do you get ALL list item attachments to merge into the DOCGEN for a single PDF - which routes for final storage.  We need ALL pdf’s in one, not the docgen + links to pdf attachments (because the links will break once the holding library deletes that item). 

How to configure a LIST wf to list/display all item attachments?  The approver needs to see ALL attachments for the item they are approving. They don’t need a link to go back to the item to then click on each attachment. I see training on NWC/nintex cloud, but we are on prem. 

SharePoint 2019Version: 5.2.10.0 - InternationalI am having difficulties populating a SharePoint list lookup column with multiple choices that orignate from a NAC form. I can get the first value to populate. But as soon as I add another value, it only populates the first and does not give an error.Requirements:Reason for NAC form and internal SharePoint Nintex form is that we need to allow both external users and internal users to complete the form. The final, “full” list is the SharePoint list. Original data comes from a NAC form. That form doesn't use the same lookup list as the SharePoint form and only uses choices. I need to convert these NAC form choices to the multi-choice lookup column in the SharePoint list so workflows will run on the new item.  (I want one place that workflow runs from; so by sending all data to the SharePoint list, I can run the workflows. When an admin views any item from the SharePoint lis

Hello,I am somewhat of a novice in using Nintex. Creating a form from a single SharePoint list is easy; however, I have three SharePoint Lists that I need to connect to one Nintex form. The total number of data columns exceeds the SharePoint limits, hence multiple lists.The goal is that the end user only has to go to one Nintex form to enter data (which populates back to one of the SharePoint lists) and to view information and progress of their project. Is there a version of Nintex, a webpart, a parent-child relationship, or any other option that allows one form to connect to multiple SharePoint lists? If so, what might that be?Thank you!

I am working on a validation rule that will be triggered if a checkbox is checked. If checked, either a value will need to be entered in the textbox or an attachment will need to be added.  Currently I have one rule assigned to the textbox control and another to the attachment control.Ultimately, I want a single rule, but I have not been able to get the syntax correct. The textbox validation works as expected. However, the attachment validation will only activate after the textbox validation. Here is the configuration. Checkbox: MFO_Spec_ExceptionTextbox: Spec_Exception_CommentsAttachment: Spec_Exception_Attach (css class attCtrlClassName7) JavaScript: // Spec_Except_Attach// Spec_Except_Attachfunction Ge

I have a SharePoint List using a Nintex form. The name if the list is "OnboardingOffboarding".I have several columns that contain data records that was input from the Onboarding panel when entering employee information: "Employee", "Manager", "Employees Email", etc. There are 2 panels. One called "Onboarding" and the other is "Offboarding"There is a 3rd panel that has a main People picker that both panels use named "EmployeeName" that's connected to the "Employee" column that we want to utilize for both panels.Once a person is populated in people picker and the "Onboarding" panel is chosen, it pre-populates the employee name, manager, employee email, etc. from userProfileLookup. The other fields are textboxes, dates, and dropdowns.  What I need is when the "Offboarding" panel is chosen and you put in a name in the "EmployeeName" people picker, that it checks and matches the Preferred Name value in the "Employee" column, and if true, displays it in the c

Goal - fields set by Site WF will update the List for all items. 2 date fields are required/start variables in the site wf - which kicks off an email with those 2 fields and a link to a new listform. Once the form is begun, the user can save/continue later  - and then submit.  The list workflow will kick off upon new item and update the item name, route through approvals then PDF the form and send to final destinations.  HOW do I configure so that the Site WF, which has collected 2 date fields (stored in variables), will ALSO update in the listform fields (so the user clicks the link to open a new form and the 2 date fields are present) AND those 2 date fields are also populated in the list (for all items).  the 2 date fields do not change (until next quarter). 

Goal - scheduled wf to send email to AD group containing Dates and a formlink to a list form.  List has wf to route form through approvals, PDF it then route to final destination doclibs. current design:The Site WF collects 2 date fields (I have these as start variables that are required - I have the Site WF to start manually) then send an email to an AD group. The email contains these date variables in the email, additionally a formlink to a listform. The site WF never kicks off, receives this error message: Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.

I have a form that was created using Nintex.

Hi!I have an if formula that returns the current user and date when specific check box is checked by a usedbelow is formulaIF((Post 2 Pellet visual qual trainer==true), (userProfileLookup(Current User “PreferredName”)+"*+formatDate (Current Date, "MM/dd/yyyy"),””) my problem is, when a different user goes to edit the form, their name overrides the original users name, so now there’s no way to know who checked the box initially.is there a way I can edit the formula so that once the field is filled, it won’t override with another users name?

Hi,Do we have SDK for SharePoint 2019 to create custom actions in Nintex workflow?  

Getting error when publishing the workflow in nintex. soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow: This feature has been temporarily disabled.

Good day, I have a workflow in Nintex 2019 and it has to pause 5 minutes then send email notification, however nothing seems to be wrong but the notification are not sent, when I check the idle time, it’s always increasing which I think that could be the cause, every time a user complain of not receiving email notifications, I always have to restart the workflow and it works, is there a way to make the idle time less or stop the workflow from idling for too long, the below is a screenshot of a  workflow that has not sent through notification, the pausing time has already lapsed and notification are not sent.  

Nintex 2016/SP 2016 on prem - Need to set the destination CT for a DocGen PDF (Output file URL is stored in a variable) routes/moves the PDF to the destination document library. docgen works great then we build a string for the MMD field call web svc to set that MMD field Update fields for CT in destination library…. this is the issue. Each configuration attempt receives an error in the WF.Narrowed it down to WHERE statement in the ‘Update Item’ action. without the pdf list id (we used to get when using muhimbi action to convert to PDF) how do we configure so that the item knows which item?  the ID will be different. *have done this successfully with Muhimbi action - in that solution, we used the List Item ID that was stored in a variable in the muhimbi action.  the D

Hello, My form include a Multi line controller, I would like to remove the scrollbar and allow dynamic size of the controller. To do this I created a css class auto-expand-textarea, see below. It works but my controller is overlapping other controllers of the form. Resize at startup is Yes.I spent hours trying to solve this, chatgpt also, including javascript… still no answer :/ anyone else in the same situation? .custom-form {     display: block;     width: 100%; /* Le formulaire prend toute la largeur */     overflow: hidden; /* Empêche les débordements */ }.custom-layout {     display: flex;     flex-direction: column;     gap: 15px; /* Espacement entre les contrôles pour éviter les chevauchements */ }.auto-expand-textarea {     min-height: 50px;

Following a number of years of heavy usage in one of our applications based on Nintex for SharePoint we are noticing a degradation of performance in that particular SharePoint site. Upon further investigation we found that the root cause of this issue is the amount of even receivers stored at site level (around 60,000)  The followng query gives us the result shown further down SELECT         class,count(*)    FROM        [dbo].[EventReceivers]            group by class    order by class  The name column (Not displayed above) shows “Created By Nintex Workflow Start Action “ and the class column (as displayed above) shows  “Nintex.Workflow.Activities.Services.WorklfowCompletedEventReceiver”Is there a way of purging these unwanted event receivers especially for items whose w

How do we get all results to be stored in a variable so that we can later use that variable to send out an email to multiple email addresses?In a Site WF running dailyThere are multiple Sql Queries configured the same (just on different views in db) pulling back multiple email (contacts) Storing in a collection variable - in the WF History, we can see only one email address is being stored (there should be several) When testing the query in the wf, we get multiple results - SQL Query is a successwe want the collection variable to take each email address and separate it by a comma or a semicolon - for emailing purposes. 

Hi there We followed this process to uninstall Nintex Live framework: Then we updated Nintex to latest version, and all of this came back. What is the process to prevent the Nintex Live framework components from coming back after each Nintex update? Thank you
