3 year review check workflow

Hi!I have a sharepoint list (on prem) and need to create a workflow if a list item shows a modified date less than 2019… If an item is detected and the modified date is less than 2019, I need to notify someone by email to review. Once reviewed the modified date updates, I will  then apply 3 years to that modified date for the next notification to go out to review once again and will need this workflow to loop so user is notified every 3 years.The list has versioning turned on, I applied a workflow to test but it seems that its sending a notification for every version that “is less than 2019”. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

List Lookup Translation inside of a repeating section

Hi, So  I am Working on a repeating section which has a list lookup control, and this list lookup needs to translate between 2 languages , if the user chooses language 1 the List lookup needs to be in language 1, and if the user chooses language 2 then the List lookup needs to be in language 2.what i have now is 2 lookups one for language 1 and one for language 2, but the problem is that both of the lookups and not linked, so if a user completes the form in language 1 and then someone else wanted to view the form in language 2, then language 2 will show up and will be empty, is there a way to only include 1 list lookup in the repeater section and this list look up will translate base on the language selected ? if now what else can be done? TIA

Nintex On-Prem - Responsive Form - Attachment validation

I’m currently working on an Nintex On-Prem Responsive form and I would like an attachment control to require validation of at least one attachment when there is a date populated in a date field and the answer to a choice question is “Yes”.My issue is this attachment control is on a hidden panel that doesn’t appear until later down the form. If you use the validation rules on the control itself, it won’t allow for the initial submission of the form. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.-Pat

How can I retrieve the 'Comments' entered by the Admin when delegating the task

Hello,I am currently trying out 'Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2019'. I have designed a workflow where if it requires approval from user A, during the 'pending task' period, the Admin user can modify the approver. This can be achieved using 'Delegate task', but how can I retrieve the 'Comments' entered by the Admin when delegating the task, or does Nintex provide additional APIs to perform the 'Delegate task' action?

Nintex workflow Unknown Error Outcome

I have a workflow that errors frequently but I’m getting a generic message, “The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.”  Is there a script I can run that will give more information?

How to view attachments in Nintex forms

I am in SharePoint 2016 on premise. Created a Nintex form on a List. This list goes through an approval process using a workflow.Users can initially attach documents to a list item (draft mode). But when the approval process starts, I only want the user to view the attachment(s) and don't want them to have the ability to add/remove them.The “attachment” control that Nintex provides has its limitation. If I hide it, the user cannot view the attachments. In other words, hiding the attachment removes “Add/Remove” functionality and at the same time hides the attachment, as well.How do I only allow the user to view the attachment.Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Mayank Shyam

WF to rename & copy a doc to a different doclib subfolder - the issue: new name isn't being retained.

created a WF  on a doclib to change the name of the doc (this is successful) AND move (well, all Nintex can do is copy) the file to a doclib in a different site collection with a new name.  The WF changes the name, updates the field in the origin library, then sends an email notification (all correctly) and sends the doc correctly to the final destination library (inside a sub folder) BUT the doc name isn’t the new name. How to configure the WF to retain the new name of the doc when copying to new doclib?

Updating SharePoint Hyperlink column with description

Hi,Currently I'm working on a workflow and part of it is to create an item in a SharePoint 2019 list, which contains a Hyperlink column. However, I would like to add a short description text to show i.s.o. the URL. So I set the column to [Link URL], [Descrption]. With a hardcoded description text all seems fine, but as soon as I replace it with a column or variable value, the space is replaced with a non-breakable space code: [URL].%C2%A0[Title]. If I type a text in front of the description column/variable (e.g. [URL]. About [Title]), it works fine. Putting the column/variable inside a inline function does not help either. Nor 2 spaces between separtor and column/var. See attachment a screenshot. The Nintex 2019 Workflows version I currently use is: “5.2.7.0 - International”Is this a bug?Kind regards,Jean-Pierre

How to start a WF on a doclib view

I’ve created a WF on a doclib for docs that are finalized/ready for the process flow of the wf.    For it to go into production, the WF needs to be started (manually, or better yet - scheduled) on a specific view, to run on all docs in this view. How do I configure the wf to start on a certain view? Does it need to be a site wf?  If so, same question, how do I configure it to run on all docs in the view?  (these docs have the same CT, but there are other docs in the same doclib with the same CT that need a different process flow/different wf).

How to update SharePoint View from Nintex workflow

I am using SharePoint 2016 on premise. Have a Nintex workflow that updates the Workflow Task list. I have a requirement to update a View that I created in the Workflow Task list. For instance, I want the view to be filtered based on a criteria - Created Date is less than the notification date. I want to dynamically enter the notification date using my workflow. Someone told me that I could use a Web Service Call for that i.e. to update the view. But I cannot find any documentation on that.How do I update the criteria of a SharePoint View from the Nintex workflow? . Any documentation or example would help. Thanks in advance.  Mayank

Nintex Workflow Multiple Approver Comments

I am building a workflow connected to a list filled out by a user form which requires 2 approvers and their respective comments. The user fills out the Project & Production Manager which in turn I need to send them an email requesting their approval (or not) with their comments. I have 2 columns (Project Manager Comments/Production Manager Comments) for their comments set up in the list. I have successfully set up a workflow using assign flexi task, set variable and update item for one of the approvers using some variables (see image) however how do I configure the workflow to obtain both the approvers comments so they are captured in the list under the correct columns? Both managers must provide their approval for the item to be marked as approved.

Get DocSetName in a WF

created a WF to run on a document that is a certain CT. The WF needs to pickup/grab the DocSet name - then set it to a variable - in order to rename the document (PDF) (using a string I have configured) and then route (copy) that PDF to a certain folder in a different doclib. How do I configure the WF to GET the docset name for the document the wf is running on? (there are many docsets) Clearly getting the NAME field isn’t working (as it picks up the name of the doc - the NAME field for the docset is also the same field for the doc NAME)

Upgrade JqueryUI.JS on Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2019 version 5.1.2.0

We have Nintex forms for SharePoint 2019 installed on our servers with version number 5.1.2.0 which has the JqueryUi.js file in its layouts folder “/_layouts/15/nintexforms/jqueryui.js” with version number “jQuery UI - v1.10.3”. We have got our application scanned for vulnerabilities and security team has found it vulnerable version of jquery. They asked us to upgrade it to 1.13.2 version which is the latest stable version. It would be helpful if you can let us know how we can upgrade the latest version of Jquery Should we just copy and replace or is there any other way ? Is there any impact, if yes, What will be that ? Awaiting for you response on this one.
