Can anyone explain how to update the XML in a repeating section? This existing post does nothing to describe it in detail. My form/workflow at this point: WorkActivities multiline textfield that store the repeating section XML. Status is a XML node/calculated field with color names (Green, Amber, Red). A script on the list page converts the text to the colored circles below. 2. My workflow is currently able to loop through the entire list and also loop through the repeating sections to do other things I want it to do (for e.g. check Activity Due Date and send notification emails). 3. How do I use the Update XML action to update each repeating row's Status? The method I'm using below updates only one row despite incrementing the IndexRepeaterRow variable in the XPath, after the loop. What am I missing?Â
HelloI need a support regarding unexpected workflow ends.I have more that 1000 lines in the list with column named "days left", an my workflow starts every day to decrease the "days left" column by 1. This is how the workflow is designed (screen from the workflow progress page):I assume that green blocks where finished, the last one was not even started - am I right?  The question is then why last stage wasn't deployed and stops unexpectedly?  On the Detailed workflow page I have following comments:time error comment 13.07.2021 Error An error occurred in the Workflow "Workflow name" 13.07.2021 Error For more information, please go to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=323543&clcid=0x409   Can you support me to find out the solution?Â
Hello, I'm a beginner so bear with me!  I have a drop down field with 4 values for pick from (A, B, C, D). But in my form, I only want to display A and B to the user. C and D can only be picked by the admin directly in the Sharepoint list. Is this possible in a responsive type form?  Another quick question. Is it possible to display 2 different forms, based on the role of the user connected? Thanks. Â
I'm working with SharePoint 2013 and am looking to query the 'Popularity Trends' within SharePoint. This is so I can get the data onto a list within the site for reporting purposes and so all users (without Full Control permissions) can see it. Is this possible? Can it be done with a web service call somehow?  Thanks in advanced.
Working within SharePoint 2013 and one of my workflows is stuck and I can't seem to figure out why. When I try to confirm the Request Review task it takes me to the confirmation page I've created, but it keeps the task status as Pending still even though I've just reviewed it. I tried waiting a few hours and coming back to it and it still wont accept the confirmation. I have a request review task set up earlier in the workflow that is set up the same way that worked just fine. Is there something else that needs to be done to push the workflow to the next step or do I just keep re-trying the form until it accepts? I can add screenshots as needed but wasn't sure what would be beneficial.      Â
Hi,Odd issue I'm facing.I have a form that has a RTF control called Board Update. In this control a user will write text.I then have a second RTF called Commentary. Lastly I have a button that executes a function to write the contents of Board Update to the column connected to Commentary, prepending it to the existing contents of the Commentary column (not overwriting), clears the value from Board Update and then refreshes the form to show the change. There is also some other text written from another control to the Commentary field to show the User and current time and date.  Typical scenario is that a user will type some text into Board Update and save the form.They will then come back to the form at a later date, click the button to commit the contents of Board Update to Commentary and blank out the Board Update column. (Before click)(after click) So the problem is this.When text is entered into the Board Update control and then the button is clicked straight away, it works fine.Whe

Is this possible and how can i do it?

I need to send one email to all the document owners on a document library. Is this possible? I do not know how to do this. Can someone please help and maybe possible give step by step instructions.Â
This question is specific to Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2013.   I have created a JavaScript solution that will display and allow document attachments into a document library folder, related to the List Item. The requirement is that the main List Item form and associated Task forms contain areas to upload documents and then having the ability to display those documents on other task forms etc.   My solution works except if there are a number of attachments. My solution uses Panels on a form with custom CSS class names. My JavaScript code iterates through the form looking for the attachment classes and replacing the content of a Panel with my custom Attachment forms.   I display these attachments as unordered list items for each section of the form where the attachments are located. I have attempted to utilize the NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessFillerControl procedure to resize the panels but that doesn't work. I am assuming the reason it isn't working is that the contents of t
Sometimes we need to go back to an old version of our workflow because the current version is broken or because we remember we have set an action and want to see how we did it. For that , go to the workflow designer and click on the ribbon to the button named "Open" The 'Open' button in the ribbon gives a pop-up. There you see the name of the workflow with a +. When you click on the +, you 'll see the older versions. The older versions do not look very clickable, but clicking on an older version Now you can save that version and it has become the new version. You have the chance to Save it, Publish it or simply close it and keep your current version. This document was generated from the following discussion: How can I restore an old version of my workflow?
Hello, I'm using Nintex for SharePoint 2016. I currently created an email notification workflow on the site level vs. the library level so I can schedule it.Because the workflow is on the site level, I notice that I can't add a link to the document within the email message. Is there a way to add a link to the document in the body of the email notification? Â
Does any one know, have a list of the various attributes/arguments that the userProfileLookup can return?I am using this in a Calculated Value field but appears to be limited to certain values. I cannot pull phone number. I have used 'WorkPhone', telephoneNumber', 'Phone', etc. I can see my phone number in my Profile under Direct Dial. However using 'DirectDial' does not return anything either. I was hoping to learn what this function actually does support or if another factor is causing me to get no value. I can get name, job title, email and office only phone number is an issue.
I'm trying to use the Update multiple items action to match all items for a certain Employee (people field) and change a Status (choice field) from "Approved" to "Removed". The workflow seemingly completes without error, but none of the items in my list are updated. Here is my filter criteria: I'm also running (slightly dated) Workflow version 4.3.3.0. I did a scan through the release notes and couldn't find if this was an issue that had been resolved, so hoping others might have some ideas or pointers to help troubleshoot?
  My workflow has three possible outcomes: reject, approve, and not applicable, as shown in the image.  If the first level approver chooses Not Applicable, the workflow is supposed to go to the second level approver. In other words, both Approve and Not Applicable are supposed to go to the second level approver. The arrow shows the desired direction of flow.  The only difference is that the Approve keeps a record that the manager approved and the Not Applicable doesn’t record that manager’s approval.  Later on, there might be some list items updated differently; but even then they should go to the same second level approver.  Looking at the image, I could add the second level approver again below Not Applicable; but then later I will need to add more approvers who also have Not Applicable options.  Please advise.

I'm creating a workflow using Nintex 2013 on SharePoint 2013. I'm trying to use the 'Request Data' Action to have the user submit a flight itinerary as an attachment. I'm trying to store that attachment within the same list the workflow is kicking off of so that it can then be sent to another user to review. Since the Request Data action only lets you store the variable to the workflow, how do I go about transitioning it to a list and then sending it out?
Hi, I have created workflows on SharePoint list and library.  Now I have to create custom reports.  I searched the documents and community blogs, but no where I found a suitable article. One of the ways is to create views on SharePoint Lists/Library and then export to Excel file.  However, I have some fields in Repeated Section and if there are more than one item in Repeated Section then only last item gets populated in SharePoint List. It will be a grate help for me if somebody share a solution for the issue. ThanksSunilÂ
Hi guys,I have an issue converting an integer to date in nintex forms.Scenario:I have a main list and a task list. Task Items are connected to the main item using Lookup Fields.Using this formula I am able to get the latest DueDate of the task list for a specific main item: max(lookup("Tasks","LookupField:ID",{ItemProperty:ID},"DueDate",true)) This however converts the Date field to the integer representation of this field (e.g. "1624485600000").I found the "convertToDate" and "formatDate" functions but unfortunately they tell me my value is not a number: Normally you could convert this back to a Date for example using Javascriptvar x = new Date(1624485600000)x.toDateString() //expected: "Thu Jun 24 2021" But using this, the form tells me this: Last part translated: "The object does not support this action". This only occurs when I add the "new Date()" part to a calculated value in the form.Is there any other way to convert this value back to a date? I am using Forms for Sh
I created a Nintex Application on "Nintex App Studio". After deploying the app, I downloaded it on Android device and it worked fine.

Hi, I have an approval workflow wherein I take input from the user through a nintex form. In a Flexi Task I have given the URL for the item wherein the approver can open and view the details and I have also given the Approval URL for the user to Approve/Reject the item.  So, is it possible to display the approve and reject buttons on the nintex form itself (from where the input was taken) rather than giving the URL to the user? Also, is it possible to provide a task in the SharePoint list itself such that the approver doesn't need to go his mail box to approve the task. He can go the item in the list itself and Approve / Reject the item.  Thanking you in advance.  Regards,Shyam
