Nintex for SharePoint

I have a Nintex form in SP 2016. Wondering if there is a built in function that will tell me the occurrence of character in a control.Example:I have a calculated field that has "#" symbol(s). I want to know how many symbols exists in that field. Based on that I shall perform some validation.Note: I cannot use workflows to do the validation. This is because I want the form to warn me before I execute a workflow (users clicks on submit button) or leave the form. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Mayank

Hi Would anyone know how to set a validation rule to trigger if a panel is made visible by another Formatting type rule and the people picker in that panel is empty? I want to prompt the user to fill out the people picker in the panel if it is not hidden. Thanks in advance.

Hi,  I have a hidden panel in my Nintex form that has a required field. When a user goes to submit the form, the form doesn't submit because the it returns with an error message "Fill in required field", however it is hidden to the user. Is there a formula I can apply to the hidden panel field to only be required when in edit mode?  Any help appreciated.  

I tried this formula but it did not work to make a field mandatory on condition: it must have a value if Request type=Add New Supplier or Request Type=Activate Supplier.   Formula Builder isNullOrEmpty({Self}) and(equals(Request_Type, 'Add New Supplier')or(Request_Type, 'Activate Supplier')) The form can be saved without having a value this field. Can someone give me a tip how to correct that formula? Thanks in advance!

Is there any function provided to approve/complete workflow tasks in batch?

Hi all!I am trying to get email addresses for a list workflow and am receiving a Coercion Failure Message in the Set variable operation. Workflow variables:Email - stringcurrentOwners - Person or Group I have Set: 'Email' equals Workflow Data currentOwners then I click the ... elipse to select Return Type. Return type of Email addresses, semi colon delimited throws the coercion error. I've tried making a emailBig variable that's multi lines of text in case length is an issue, but I get the same results. Supporting Information: SharePoint/Nintex 2019.List: SystemField: Owners - Person or Group - Multipeople allow, people only List: UATField: SystemId - number The workflow runs on the UAT list and uses the foreign key systemId field to get the Owners from the System list and stores those in a Person or Group Nintex variable, currentOwners. Any ideas what's up?Thanks,Erin  

My list/form collects information for mostly one state and assigns based on county. Occasionally we receive information for out-of-state (OOS). For those entries, I want to rotate who is assigned each time an OOS entry is made. Any suggestions on how this can be done?

We've been seeing where some of our auto start workflow are not actually triggering.   I am told this can happen when multiple workflows are conditioned to auto start on same list column.  Any thoughts?

Hi there! We have found an issue which I cannot explain and want to ask out there if someone has already faced it and if there is an explanation for this weird behavior. The story is about a state machine with a state in focus, doing not too much: setting a property of the item where the workflow is running on and assigning an approval flexi task with two outcomes to two recipients. The first one has delegated the task to someone else who has approved.The other one was assigned, but with outcome "Not Required" initially, which I found out using history on the task. The user is saying to not have received a task notification. It was also interesting that the workflow instance was still waiting on the flexi task action. How can this happen?We have SP2013 on-prem with Nintex Workflow 2013 (v3.5.1.10).After restarting the workflow same both users has received the pending task. Both users have same permissions provided by the same SP group.It seems we have resolved the issue for this instan

Hi folks.we are preparing a migration for a client from SP2013 on-prem to SPO. In order to have a better understanding of situation we would like to create a script querying where Nintex Forms are used.We will use ShareGate to perform the migration and in few test we faced issues for forms which are using custom JavaScript functions (included in the form and referencing to external js files.Another question to answer is if it is a responsive or classic form, as the responsive cannot be migrated automatically to Nintex Online.Long story short, we would like to ask if it is possible to create a list and query following properties:go through defined site collections find all existing Nintex Forms get if it is a responsive/classic form get if JS is used (inline or referenced)Ideally it would be possible to do it from the client side, as we are not farm administrators. But if this is the only way, we can execute the script with them together. Are there corresponding web services / object mo

OK so here's an interesting one. I have two lists that I'm working with here. List A is the Suppliers list and List B is the Products. Product lookup is nested in a repeating table along with a single line of text column called Quantity and a calculated field named Calc_Price. This field is looking up the Products list. So using Cascading dropdown you choose a Supplier which then filters out that supplier's product in the nested dropdown then you choose a product and the calc field pulls the price. So I already have a formula in that field. As you can see in my screenshot I have everything totalling up nicely in Order Total field.  My issue is I want to be able to add it by quantity as well. Meaning as in my screenshot if I choose two items in the Quantity field that number should become 200. It should also be noted there's a hidded Calc field that counts all those prices and adds them with Tax and Shipping to give the Order Total at the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. T

Hi,   I have a form which is used to enter new requests, it has a lookup field for country if brazil is selected a mail needs to be triggered to that specific team. I am trying to do this workflow through SharePoint. Need assistance in getting this created.   Thanks in Advance Venkat

I have a Nintex workflow in our On Prem SharePoint 2016 farm that with some actions configured inside a "Run If" action.  The run if is configured to run if a multivalue choice field is not empty.  The field does contain data (verified by outputting to a log to history action), but yet the actions still do not run. Any thoughts?

Hello, I am using a web request control to mimic the 'related items' section as this is no longer possible after our 2013 -> 2019 migration. The query is working fine, I am receiving the correct results, only after adding the XPath expression the results display double. The setting to the web request: When running the request it shows the proper XML outcome When adding the XPath expression it shows the correct values, I guess.(Sum is a calculated column)Only on the form itself everything shows up double:When changing "XPath for display" from "//z:row/@ows_Sum" to "//z:row/@ows_Title" I get ever stranger results on the form: Should I change my XPath expression or is something else incorrect? I need it to be like image 4 and without the duplicate data. Thank you.

I have a button on my form List A(CAR list) that allows to open new window and create a new item in List B (5why list) . I'm passing value Item ID (CARNumber) in the URL. And I can query this ID on my new item in List B using querystring function. Question is how to  prepopulate a lookup field that corresponds to the passed value itemID and how to auto check the box link to existing CAR. The purpose is that when users click the button to create a 5WHY action they are taken to a new 5WHY form that is already linked to the CAR list. So they don't have to manually select it.     

We have a form using the Classic Form layout that we would like to display a link that shows 'Click Here' instead of the entire link. Right now we have a rich text control where we have inserted the link which is connected to the item properties of the list. When we click on the link in the form it just takes us back to the form. Is there something else that we need to do in order to get the link to work?

Hi all, (new to the community but I cannot find anything similar)   I have a survey with multiple confidential responses, each response has a survey ID with a Created By user. I am exporting the responses, analysing, turning them into a graph within a document and reuploading the documents into a library.   I would like to reupload these documents into a library / list (that has the same survey ID in the file name) that associates the ID in the file name to the Survey ID. Then change the Target Audience of the File so that only the same user the Survey Response was Created By (otherwise known as [Me]) so that only they can see it.   This seems quite complicated, I can further explain if needed. Any help is much appreciated! Prof-X

Hello, I've having an issue with a several Workflows in a site. When I create a "Send Notification" action, and inside it when I try to insert reference to a Workflow variable, and Save this, the modification crashes the edit of the Workflow and I have to reloaded to work again, but with the same result. I tried creating another list in the Site, and tried to do it with another Lists Workflows that were created, but the same error started to appear. This issue is recent, since at the beginning of last week, I could configure the action without having this problem. I 

We have a list that has 200+ instances of "error occurred".  I know why it's erroring. But I'm wondering if there is a way to kill all of these workflows at once rather than going into each instance and ending the workflow.  I can't go into workflow settings and "remove" the workflow.  Is there any other way to do it that will leave the workflow intact and running for other items that aren't erroring?

please help me guys 🙂 I need to calculate two fields and the result on another field, as you see in the below photo I need Value= Quantity * Price  

Hi Can anyone let me know regular expression for BV000-00   00 are numbers   Thanks

I'm working on a form where I need to check if the user has entered a time outside of a certain range (as an example, let's use 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM). I have this sort of working using invalidate rules but the validation doesn't update until the user either selects/enters a date or tries to submit the form. So if a user changes the time from 12:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the form would still say that the time was out of range until the user changes the date or clicks save/submit. Is this normal? In trying to deal with this, I thought maybe a regular expression validation on the control would be more effective/responsive, but I haven't been able to figure out a valid regular expression. Does anyone know what format the date is in when comparing to a regular expression from the DateTime control's "Use a regular expression" validation option? I've tried the format MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt (11/28/2021 10:30:00 AM), but it doesn't seem to work even without trying to check for specific values in hours/m

is there any guide/tutorial on how to troubleshoot workflow errors and match them to sharepoint ULS logs? especially ones that are intermittent (not reproducible), very general and that do not provide correlation ID (like workflow failed, workflow failed to start, etc) ...I see basically no reliable entity I can pick from workflow resp. error message to base search of ULS on - as mentioned there is no correlation ID, workflow history log entries timestamps are on minute level which too rough for ULS logs, searching by error message (sub)string very rarely leads to a result. I've read some discussions on the forum, but haven't found satisfactory answer. could you share your experience/approach?
