CreatedBy Needs to be Anonymous (NOT CurrentUser/Initiator)

we have a Complaint/Idea/suggestion form that needs to be submitted anonymously. What is ideal design?For now, we’ve created 2 lists (same site collection):1 (List A) we’ve created the nintex responsive form for submission (with one field - MultiLine Text field). The other list (List B) to move the contents of the 1 multiline text field as a new item.  (we did this only to remove the initiators name but that’s not working)when testing, each new item that is created in List B shows CreatedBy (my name).  How do we replace the CurrentUser/form Initiator with anything else like “Anonymous” or even the service account the WF runs on (just not the form initiator)

SharePoint Online Responsive form Calculated Value

Hi All! We’re mid-migration so I have so many questions lately!How do I add a calculated value to a SPO responsive form? I have a repeating section and in this repeating section I want to divide the cost by the number of people splitting the cost. my formula before on my old form was “sum([LegCost/LegPassengers])” When I try to add it now, there’s no calculated value field available to add so I inserted a number field and am adding the calculation to the default value. It’s looking like “sum([SharePoint Columns].[LegCost]/[SharePoint Columns].[LegPassengers])” and it doesn’t calculate at all. Can you help me set this up?Thank you!Kassie

List Lookup contol display one column, save another

Hello hivemind. We just switched over to Nintex Forms and i’ve learned a lot digging through this forum. I apologize if this has been asked already and would be grateful for some clarity. We recently upgraded from SharePoint 2010(i know) to 2019 and due to the changed Microsoft has made to lookup columns i am unable to use one. Thanks to Nintex i can use a Lookup control to point to the list i want.My question is: Is it possible to display the selections from one column, and save the associated data from another? using employee information as an example, have the drop down show the employee name but have the single line of text column capture the employee ID thats in the same list?I am unable to use a workflow(as far as i can tell) because the list i’m looking up is on another SP site and now lookups only look on the local subsite. I have tried a calculated value formula but so far have not been able to get this to work. I might have to try some javascript. I appreciate it.

Workflow tasks not getting marked as completed for a specific user

I have a workflow with a flexitask that is assigned to an SP group and it creates individual tasks for each member of the group. My problem is, for one specific user, their task is never marked as completed. They still get reminder emails. From the screenshot below, it’s always the same user that their status is “Not Started” and % Complete is blank. All the others are from the same group and work just fine.

Nintex Cloud Form Repeating Section Issue

Hi all, I'm trying to build a form and the repeating section isn't letting me add any controls. What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried to drag every field to see if it was just an issue with these particular fields, no luck. Then I tried to add them manually from the list of fields on the left and still no luck.

Assign Flexi task: Reject and Approve always return -1 in Task Form

Hello everyone!I’m using Nintex on SharePoint 2019 on-prem and i have a problem with the “Decision”-Form as soon, as customize the form. The logic of the workflow itself works flawless, but you cant force the user to comment an rejection f.e., because the Choice-field always return -1, regardless the value you choose.Snap 1As you can see in Snap 1, i’m talking about the vanilla form of the Flexi Task, nothing special.Snap 2​​​​​​In Snap 2, the default configuration of the form.Snap 3If you now disconnect the “Choice” from the “Decision”-Column, you see the bare return values. No matter what you choose -  always -1. You also can’t alter the values manually. The will set back to -1 after saving. And so, the required comments don’t work anymore. As a counterpart, the snap of the same form from the “Request approval”-Task.Snap 4Any hint is appreciated. Whats wrong with my setup? Or is it me :-) ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my english. Im not a native tongue. Sebastian

Using JQuery on a List Lookup no longer works after Nintex 2013 upgrade

We have recently performed an upgrade of Nintex forms 2013 from Version 2.9.0.0 to the latest 2013 V 2.12.9.0, in order to ultimately upgrade to 2016.Following the upgrade I realised that our JQuery code no longer worked with the Lookup List control and we were no longer able to set a value or retrieve the selected value from the control.The code we use to set the Lookup List selected value is below, where “llPaymentCurrency” is the Client ID JavaScript variable name:CurrencyRetrieved = NWF$('#' + llPaymentCurrency + ' option:contains(AUD - Australia Dollar)');CurrencyValue = CurrencyRetrieved.val();CurrencyRetrieved.prop('selected', 'selected');NWF$("#" + llPaymentCurrency).parent().find('input').val(CurrencyValue);NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessOnChange(NWF$("#" + llPaymentCurrency));and to retrieve the selected value is belowvar selectedCurrency = NWF$('#' + llPaymentCurrency).find("option:selected").text()When I view the JQuery reference to the Lookup List I cannot see any options

List Lookup - filtering - value doesn't appear after saving of form.

Hi, I have a SharePoint column ‘col1’ Connected to a control ‘List lookup’ in the New Responsive Designer in Nintex.  When i submit the form, and then go back into the same instance of a form - the value I selected for ‘col1’ doesn’t appear. It is in fact saved within the SharePoint list, but doesn’t appear in the form.  If I change the List lookup control to a simple ‘Text -Short’, it will work. So, it doesn’t seem like it is a problem with the column it self.  Are there something within the control ‘List lookup’ that prevents the form to be able to pick up the value of the connected column??

Storing Email Address(es) from a SQL query Nintex WF on prem

New Site WF (for SP2016 on prem). Multiple Sql query controls configured correctly (without error when testing RUN NOW) resulting in 1 or more email addresses stored in db (per certain criteria). When testing in control, replacing 2 criteria variables, we see email addresses (contacts related to criteria) return without error. 1st we stored the returns in a collection variable, followed by a Collection Operation to JOIN the collection (delimiter of a semicolon) and store in a SLofText variable. While query runs fine, nothing is stored in variable. 2nd replaced SLofText variable with PEOPLE/GROUP variable - nothing stored 3rd saved data returned in SQL query to the new PEOPLE/GROUP variable - nothing stored. 4th saved data returned in SQL query to a new MLofText variable - nothing stored. While query and WF runs without error - seems likely the variable TYPE is an issue, but if so, I’ve obvi created multiple types so far. What am I missing/doing wrong?  screenshot captures 1 of 4 Sql qu
