Loop/Query List Issues

I'm working on a data import site workflow where one of the fields I have to populate is a multi-value choice list of document authors. I've got all of the other fields loading correctly, so I ended up just putting the author list into a single line of text column in the table. Now I'm circling back to try and load the Authors. Here's what I have:1. Query the list to get the record IDs that need the AuthorList updated2. For Each to loop through each record and query the list for the semi-colon separated list of names from the AuthorList column3. Use a regular expression to load the author names into a collection.4. For Each to loop through the collection of author names (storing author name in sltAuthor variable)5. Query list to the Employee table where the Title = sltAuthor and get the ID field (stored in sltAuthorID)6. Log to history list sltAuthor (sltAuthorID) I have tried several ways to do this, but no matter what I do, the first one (index 0) works great. It returns the Author I

Pass values to Task

I am working on a complicated process that requires many different types of approvals and data requests.  All these tasks are created in a task list.  I would like to supply a value (Job Number) to the task list so we can create grouping views on the tasks in the task list so managers can monitor who has completed their tasks and who hasn't.  I have searched for instructions on how to supply this value to a task.  I have created an extra field in the task Content Type and thus the task list, but I can't find a way to populate that field from the list workflow.   Has anyone done something like this before.  We are still using Nintex 2013 for a 2013 on-prem farm but this will be migrated to 2019 soon.

Forms with Repeating section and workflow

New user here searching for some guidance.  I have a form for requesting new part numbers.  In the repeating section of the form, is selections from lists for primary category, secondary category, and tertiary category (3-tiered category) - workflow is based on this to determine if product testing is required.  The description and current part number fields (if exists) and fields for print number, unit of measure etc.My first issue - In the workflow - when the form is saved, I notify our documentation team that there is a new request. I followed that with a wait for item update - so that when documentation adds the part number, the workfflow would then continue.  Except that because the fields are in a repeating panel, they are no longer connected to my original list which the form is based on.  I'm not sure the best practive or course of action to develop this form - There may be examples on here already, and I apologize for that - but when I don't know what I don't know - I don't eve

Form initiated from a document that knows about the document

Hi I hope someone can help me figure out how to create a form that is initiated from a document that knows the document's columns. I want the user to click a 'Feedback' button from the action menu (three dots next to document) to launch a form. The form should then autofill the document name it was initiated from and have the other document columns filled in, such as "process owner". Upon clicking 'Save', an email is generated to the process owner. That's it. A form that is initiated from a document that knows the document's columns. Really appreciate if someone from Nintex could advise if this is possible and how I could go about implementing this using Nintex Forms and Workflow for SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (on-prem). Many thanks

The server currently has no access to the Internet. How exactly Nintex sign works?

Nintex workflow "outcome achieved" issues with multiple approvers reflecting the conflicting result

I have a workflow in SharePoint 2013 that has a flexi task where two approvers must approve or reject a request. I have the results of both reject and approved outcomes in the list no problem...it's the conflicting result that I'm still struggling with. I need a column in the list to show when there's a conflict with the approval which is the "outcome achieved" option in the flexi task. I've done a lot of googling and tried to set a column to "yes/no" and then set the variable for it as "yes/no" but the results of the conflict won't show up in the list. I need the column to display if "yes, there was a conflict" (e.g. someone approved the request and someone rejected the request).

Rule dont apply after update value with javascript

Hi, I use javascript to update a value of a textfield (txtStepID) in my Nintex Form. There are several formatting rules on different controls triggered on this value. Since upgrading to nintex Form from V 2.4.0.0 to 2.5.0.0 the rule is not recognized anymore. I see the value changes due to the step but the rule just don't fire. If I change the field value manually in the textbox the rule is working perfectly. Here is the javascript I use to update my textbox value:function goNext() {    var txtStep = NWF$("#" + txtStepID);    var stepNumber = txtStep.val();    stepNumber++;    goStep(stepNumber);}function goPrev() {    var txtStep = NWF$("#" + txtStepID);    var stepNumber = txtStep.val();    stepNumber--;    goStep(stepNumber);}function goStep(stepNumber) {    var txtStep = NWF$("#" + txtStepID);    txtStep.val(stepNumber);    txtStep.trigger("change");}

Prepopulating a list B new item form with value from list A view form

I'm new to forms but hoping someone will be able to give me a pointer on how to achieve this.SP16 on prem, no farm access.List A is a list of job vacancies.List B is a secondary secured list to track applications (List A is open and can't contain the more sensitive application details).Items in List A expire after two weeks and List B has a lookup column to only show the active vacancies in List A.There is a button on the page holding the webpart, this link is to the new form on list B that shows the active vacancies in a dropdown. What I'd like to do is have a button on the List A view form that links to a new item form in List B with the current item preselected in an input.So rather than a user having to view the List A item, close it, click the apply button, then find the item to select to apply for; they can hit an "Apply for this item" button and go to a form with the ID already there.Hope that was clear 🙂

Workflow Status Disappeared

Users recently noticed that the status of previously completed workflows disappeared. This drastically effects their reporting on list items. All the workflow history on the items are there but the workflow status is not.  So for example if the status is "In Progress", Cancelled" or "Completed" that information is now gone. Any ideas as to why this would happen? Where to look or anything.

Autopopulate based on another field

I have a multi select field on a Nintex form, and when a user selects a given option, I want to populate a different field with a new option. Ex: user selects Option1 in multiselect field, then I want new field to populate with Bucket1. If selects Option2, then Bucket2 would populate in new field.  I've read about control settings and rules, but I need a very very basic step-by-step of how to get this to work (screenshots also v helpful!). Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hide panel through a choice control.

Hello,I have a status field on my form (choice control) and I want a rule that says if I choose "Pending ITG Review" or "Requestor is filling out form" or "sending back to Steward to complete form" this makes the form visible if not disable the form if status is set to any of other choice.  I have tried so many different ways to write the rule and with no luck.  I can get the form to disable if the rule is only is set to one option but when I add the other options it don't work.  I am using the the Named Controls to pull down my status field and not the Item Properties.  I want this to take place only when the form is in edit mode.  The reason I want to disable my panels is I don't want just anyone going into my form to edit during certain stages of the process. So the only time the form should be in edit mode is when its set at Pending ITG Review and the other 2 choices I mentioned above.   Here is one exampled I tried just with 2 of my options and it didn't work.  not(contains(Status
