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.

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?
