DeleteAttachment - Call Web Service Error - The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

Hello all, I've created a workflow that copies the items list attachments with a reference ID to an Attachments Library using a Call web service - GetAttachmentsCollection Web method - This works fine (example below)   The issue is, in the same workflow I try to delete the List Attachments after copying them somewhere else, as I don't need them in two different spots. To do this I use the Call web service - DeleteAttachments Web method.  Every time I run the DeleteAttachments web method I get a error.If I click "Execute" I get the error error "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."(Example Below)If I click "Test connection" I get the error error "Request failed with status: Unauthorized."(Example Below)  If I run the workflow I get a workflow error with the following comments in the workflow status -  If anyone has any idea or suggestion why I'm receiving this error on the DeleteAttachments method but not the GetAttachmentsCollection method I'm all ears. If you need

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

SharePoint site collection backup restore with Nintex Forms and workflows

We are using SharePoint on-prem 2016 with Nintex Forms and workflows. I would like to backup a sitecollection and restore on a different farm. If I take a site collection content database backup and restore it on the new farm, will it also have all the Nintex Forms, Nintex Workflows and the Nintex task forms along with this? Please help me with the right approach to backup and restore SharePoint site collections with Nintex forms and workflows. I do not need the current workflow history or any data from the original site.

Why are the checkboxes on my nintex not accepting responses after first user selection?

I have a nintex form with a checkbox. If a user selects the checkbox, it will populate two fields with the user's name and the date the box was checked. This data is saved to a Sharepoint list. Once the box is checked and the form is saved, it will not accept any updates if the box is checked a second time. The original input remains but all other inputs still work like text boxes. Would a radio button be more appropriate or it the flow in Sharepoint causing the issue?

Can't add a Reusable Workflow Template Configured with Conditional Start

I've created a reusable workflow template associated with a content type and configured Workflow Settings to conditionally start when an item is modified (i.e. workflow should only run if previous value of a column was "X" and current value of a column is "Y").  However, if I try to add that workflow template directly to a list, or to the associated content type in that list, under Start Options the selection for "Changing an item will start this workflow" is greyed out.  Is it not possible to add a reusable workflow template with a conditional start?  It seems strange to me that I was able to create the template with the conditional start if I'm not able to then add it as such.

Prevent duplicates in repeating section (responsive)

Using SharePoint 2019 on-prem and Nintex responsive forms, we have a repeating section with dropdown fields in each. We would like to ensure that the second etc. items in the repeating sections do not offer the value selected in the previous. So options could be A, B, C, D, E, F, G Item 1 in responsive form - A Item 2 should only allow choices B, C, D, E, F, G. Select - G Item 3 should only allow choices B, C, D, E, F    and so on. We have done this with JavaScript before on classic forms but for this requirement we need to keep the responsive forms. Does anyone have a way of achieving this? @EuanGamble wondering if you might be able to hook me up with someone to help resolve this?

Confirmation message fires BEFORE form validation

Hello,Nintex Forms 2016, responsive form.Added a Confirmation message to the save button on a form and the form has some fields with validation.  Expected this message to pop up only upon successful save of a valid form.  However, the form can have validation failures and yet, upon clicking the save button the confirmation message pop-up is presented.  Once user clicks "OK" on the confirmation message, they are returned to the form to address the validation errors. Is there a way to make the confirmation message behave similar to the Redirect URL in that it only fires AFTER the form is valid and saved? If this is not possible, is there a way to code the formula in a rule to test whether the form is valid, such that I can hide the save button control until form valid is true?

Nintex Workflow: List A to B back to A

Running into a problem with some workflows and I need some help. I have two lists I am using. List A and B. List A is copying data to List B. This part of the workflow is working fine. List B then uses another workflow to update list B status based on users actions. Works fine too. Where I am struggling is in my third workflow where I want List B to use an update item and write back to List A without creating a new item on List A. Ex: List A: Columns 1,2,3,4,5, and ID; List B with named columns to match List A minus ID.List A uses WFa to create items columns 1,2,3,4,5 and writes ID to SP ID column I created on List B Users will then make changes to column 5 in List B. WFb uses update item to update Column 3 on List B based on a completed Y/N field in Column 5 in List B.Goal is that:WFc on List B will then take newly updated status of column 3 and modify the status of column 3 on List A using SPID to link back to the ID of the item in List A. Tried multiple methods of updating item with

Auto Populate Form Controls using Text Box

I need to auto Populate Form Controls based an Employee's ID.  I currently have this setup using the lookup function and it works great! Here is the article I used to setup this function:  https://jessemchargue.com/2020/01/31/how-to-auto-populate-form-controls-in-sharepoint-online-with-nintex/ However, rather than having a user select their Employee ID from a dropdown, I would like them to have to type in their Employee ID in a text box, then have other form control auto population based on what the Employee typed in a text box.

Writing out a Managed Metadata Value to a Single Line Text Field

Hi Everyone, I found out after a few days of trying various things that a Managed Metadata Field cannot be used as a filter within a Nintex Form. What I would now like to try is have a Single Line of Text text box populate once the user selects a term in the Managed Metadata field.  I have it working only in the developer toolbar when I invoke the following JS.  NWF$('#' + mUnitText).val(NWF$('#' + mUnit).find("span.valid-text").text()) mUnitText being the Single Line of text box and mUnit being the MMD field.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Send email to a specific job title within a specific department SharePoint 2016/Nintex

This is probably easy to do but I can't figure it out. Let's say I have job titles: Job I, Job II, Job III in a Department I. What would my workflow look like if I needed to send an email (when a task created) to just Job III in a Department I? Thank you!

Change true/false values to yes/no in Nintex email notification

I created an InfoPath form which contains 17 checkbox fields.  I need to reference the answers to those fields in a Nintex generated email, but I can't figure out the best way to change the true/false values to yes/no.  Management feels that true/false values in the email doesn't look right and prefers that we have yes/no values instead.  Is there a simple way to do this without creating an overly complicated workflow section to make this change?  Thanks!
