cannot edit Workflow created by a person no longer in Active Directory, what to do?
Having issues with Site workflows, publishing workflows showing SOAP:Error and all existing approval tasks showing "Your are not Authorized to respond" for all approvers. We have updated our Nintex version to 4.6.2.0 however issues did not resolve. This is happening after Server was patched with the July MS CU update. Anyone having similar issues?
I am working on a form that has a balance at the end of it with a field called " End Balance". When the form is saved it creates a list item. I want to bring the "End Balance" value from my previous list item into my new item in a new form as the starting balance is this possible and just keep repeating this process.I have tried using a calculated control in the form using the lookup run time function but was not able to get that to work.
When my web request actions fail, due to timeouts or other complications, my workflows Suspend and I have to manually restart them. Is there a way to create a loop that can capture the error, check for a successful API call and retry failed calls after a specified time period?
Hi Nintex Gurus, Can we have two filters in one lookup function like filter on Title and Created columns in lookup function on Nintex Form lookup("Test", "Created", Current Date "Title" )lookup("Test", "Title", Title, "Title" ) can we combine above both filters in one lookup function. Pseudo query will be return Title from a sharepoint list where Title is strSomeString and Created is equal to Current Date.
I have a SP 2016 Nintex form. A workflow fires when the user clicks on the save button. The workflow retrieves values from each control and stores them in a variable. Later this variable are used to update list item. I know how to retrieve values from fields that have single line of text as data type. But not sure how to retrieve values from drop down. I have a drop down control called, "Category." The user selects a category. Category is a list in our site collection. How can I have workflow retrieve the category the user selected and store that into a variable? Thanks a bunch. Mayank
I have a SP 2016 list and created a Nintex form. There is a field called, "Copy Item" and it is choice field - yes, no. I want to start a workflow when the user clicks YES on Copy Item. The default value is No. I created my workflow and in the workflow settings, I have Copy Item equals Yes. But the workflow is not being triggered. See attachment. How do I trigger the workflow when the user clicks on Yes on the Copy Item choice control. Thanks. Mayank
So I'm trying to return items from a list that their notification date is equal to today's date.Here's my list details -> ListA: itemname(text), duedate(date), notificationdate(date) notificationdate item default value is based on duedate - 4 months In nintex WF designer, I did the following: 1. Create a variable named todaysdate to store the current date value 2. I added query list action to filter items when the notificationdate is equal to the current date(todaysdate) However, when I run the query, it returns empty result although I checked that today's date matches the notificationdate value. and even when I enter the date manually exactly how its shown in ListA, it still returns empty result.

Greetings,I'm trying to figure out why a dropdown box is not showing for my where "Adjudication Outcome" so, I can select the type which I've already created a list in Sharepoint. The area that I'm speaking about is across from the value dropdown. Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks 😉
Hello, I am looking for step by step help or reference to a source to address the problem below, i seem to be missing something from the solutions i have read on the forums. I have three step workflow that i have created using nintex workflow for sharepoint and nintex forms. Initiate the request for review- approver gets the request and uses the forms to provide decision and attach the document for backup- the workflow sends it to next approver who has to provide another decision on the review using the attachment document from second step. I CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to show the attachment from the second step on the nintex form for the last step. There are tons of suggestions regarding xml, java scripts, etc, but nothing concrete aside from downloading some custom actions and creating url links. I would really really appreciate someone walking me through the process step by step if possible at all? thank you!!
This should be easy. I just want to set a field called 'View Change' to '1' but when I click on 'Set' on the action I don't get the fields I need from the Sharepoint library. I've done this before on other workflows, just pointed the Set Field action to the field in the Sharepoint list. Is it because I'm using a Library? Instead I get 'Content Type/IS Reference Number/Name/Title'. IS Ref is one of the fields in the library. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Nintex cloud and Sharepoint 2016
Hello, I'm trying to see if there is a better way then rules to accomplish my goal. I have 2 dropdowns, if RHQ is selected in the first then I need the second to display certain options, If 212 is selected in the first then I need a different set of options to appear in the second. is there any way to do this with JavaScript over making a bunch of copies of the second dropdown and hiding them with rules? Thank you for your time.
I cannot open created workflows after person who created or modified last left the organization and the workflows is looking for that person to send notification (Failed to send notification. The specified user i:0#.w|bocjenki438 could not be found.) How can open the workflow now?
Is there a way to copy/save an email sent from the 'send notification' feature? I need to copy the outgoing email, not the entire form.
I have 2 SharePoint 2016 lists, one is a lookup list and the other is a list for request form. Unfortunately we do set the employee division in AD only the Department. The employee's department and division needs to be added to the request form. So I created a look up list that lists all of our departments and the associated division: On the Nintex Form (Classic) I have a calculated field that populates the employee's department:To populate the employee's division (based on their department), I added another calculated field:The department is populating correctly but the division is blank. I've also tried using parse lookup, singe quotes, spaces, no spaces. Nothing seems to work. Here are some of the different ways I have tried to auto-populate the division field:I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!!
I’m trying to make it so that certain DateTime controls are only have Time when a checkbox has not been checked, but I haven’t had much success. I’m using responsive forms currently, so I don’t think custom JavaScript or CSS are supported. Do you have any ideas about what I might be able to do for this?

Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated. The error only occurred when try approve 1 particular form. Tried on Chrome and Safari. Getting same error. Any hint/advise?
Hi there,I set up a small form where a button is used to popluate a calculated value (ctlCalculate) to a textfield (ctlTextbox). The button uses the following function:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () { NWF$(document).ready(function() { var calculateControl = document.getElementById(ctlCalculate); var textboxControl = document.getElementById(ctlTextbox); textboxControl.value = calculateControl.value; });});This works perfectly fine.But I can't use the value of the textfield for further calculations if it's populated via the button click. (like it's still empty)If I enter a value into the textfield manually my other calculations work just fine. Any hints or other methods how I could publish the calculated value to the textfield AND use it for additional calculations afterwards? Thanks in advance.
I have the following HTML, including a CSS style for sending a notification: Some of the style settings are ignored in the output, which comes out looking quite bad. The email content looks like this:However, the Rich Text control in the Nintex Form Designer correctly interprets the styling to make a nice looking table:What do I need to do to make the email show the table in the way that is set by the CSS?For reference, here is a sample of the HTML I am using: <everything><style type="text/css" media="screen,print">.warning{color: #CC5E32; }everything{font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;}table{border: 2px solid black;margin: 20px 0px 0px 0px;border-collapse: collapse;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;}th{border: 2px solid black;background-color: #8CC63F;padding: 6px 12px 6px 12px;}td{border: 1px solid black;padding: 3px 12px 3px 12px;}</style><row>Here is some explanatory text about the table below:</row><table><thead><tr><th>Change_Typ
I created a Nintex form on a SharePoint 2016 list. I need the following functionality, User clicks on a button. The button is called, "Copy."On the button click, certain fields get hidden.On the button click, certain fields value change (based on some criteria).After that, the user can save the form by clicking on the save button. What is the easiest way to achieve that? I realize that if I kick off a workflow (when the user clicks on the button), I can achieve what I want (hide fields, update values). But then the form will close. I don't want the form to close. The form should stay open until the user clicks on save or cancel. Thanks a bunch. Mayank
Created a responsive form using Nintex in SP2019. The form contains a Calculated Value control that performs a lookup function. Nothing custom, I just want to display a related column from another list to the user and bring it back to a connected column. Works perfectly fine using the responsive form from the desktop - value is displayed and written back to the connected column. But when the form is loaded using Nintex Mobile, a message appears about where the control would be stating "A JavaScript exception has occurred". The form is useable, but the calculation is not performed so the end user cannot see the info, and "A JavaScript exception has occurred" is written back into the connected column.
I have a workflow where users submit a request for a new price on a part. Once the form is filled out, it goes to a Price List Admin group for approval. If the request is approved, the Price list is updated with the new price. We are running into a problem in that the workflow is failing when it tries to create a new item in the price list. The only people who have the ability to create or edit the price list are the price list admins. Anyone can make a request, but only the admins can approve the request and modify the price list. It appears that the workflow is attempting to create the new price in the price list under the credentials of the initiator. Since the initiator does not have permissions to create a list item, or edit a list item in the price list, the workflow errors out. I seem to remember that there used to be a way to run an action with elevated privileges but I can't find it. Google searching doesn't help. This seems like a very common use-case. It should be ob
I am new to site workflows and dont have the query user profile action. I have a list workflow that when a item is created Nintex automatically pulls info (department name, manager name etc) from the user profile via update item action and set field equals user profile then I pick the field I want from the user profile and for value and it to the name of the person listed in the people picker field. I want to build a site workflow so it can be scheduled. I tried following the same steps that I did for the list workflow but theres no option ot the select the persons name that is listed in the people picker field as a value. Not sure if this is correct, but would I have to first use query list action and select the fields I want changed then store each in a collection variable. Then do a "for each action" then "update field" action and have each field collected in the collection updated by setting it to equals user profile then value equals the person name listed in the people pick
