Query XML on repeating section

I've followed Vadims instructions to get a repeating section to show in an email. Now on the second time I've used these instructions, it's gotten weird.  My repeating row sections is called SupplyOrderMy two fields in the section are called SupplyItems and SupplyTypes.  The xml isn't coming out right, then saying it's blank. I've attached the workflow and output.

Hi everyone,I'm using Nintex  for SharePoint 2016.  I used a request review action to assign task to Hiring manager in Onboarding process. I receive an email with the assigned task.

Create a field which has a currency symbol and an amount (with commas)

Hi all, I have a very old SharePoint list which I want to update without breaking any of the existing functionality. There are 2 existing fields: 1. A currency field (which is a choice - £/€) 2. A string of a number up to 10000000 (without commas)  What I would like to do is concatenate the currency choice and insert commas in to the resulting field. So for example: Existing fields : £ and a string of number - e.g. 10000 What I want : £10,000 in a new field  There is an underlying workflow so editing the fields will kick it off, which I don't want. I have managed to convert 10000 to 10,000 in a few field (using =VALUE([Request Amount])), but ideally I'd like to add in the currency at the start.  Is this possible in SharePoint 2013?  Thanks for you help, apologies I'm a SP newbie.

Nintex Workflow: How do I get information back to the start form?

Hello,I created a workflow for authorization assignment. The Start Form contains the new and already authorized users. To avoid changes in QuickEdit in the columns I connected the control elements with variables. After the workflow the fields in the Start Form are empty. How do I get it that they are filled with the last info, like when using columns? The workflow adds the new authorized persons to the already authorized ones and should display this in the start form.Deepest thanks for your ideas

Calculates value using two different fields

Have seen this asked before but can’t seem to find a clear answer to the question. Trying to set calculate field based on two form fields - Dept is a calculated field, result of lookup based on current user- Institution is a multi-select lookup controlWill need to lookup another list based on combination of both, and concatenate the resulting values into a calculated field. Institution    Dept       CostCentrehosp1          Finance  A1hosp2          Ops        B2hosp1          Ops        A2....If both hosp1 and hosp2 selected and Dept is finance, then resulting value of calculated field is “A2, B2” Previous threads sometimes imply this can be done or can’t be done. Im using onprem 2013. Don’t mind using Javascript if necessary, preferably not but don’t mind if no choice. Can’t use a helper column as per this thread because SharePoint doesn’t allow lookups to be part of the formula for calc field.https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint-Forum/Nintex-Forms-set-Lookup-value-u

Can I see all workflows that use a specific field?

We have a client who wants to stop using a required date field.  This date field is referred to in at least one workflow, which when the field was changed to no longer be required and was empty caused the workflow to error.  I want to know if there are other workflows that reference this field so I can check how they might also be affected.  Is there a way to see this?   Using Nintex with SharePoint 2013 On Prem

Issue when making changes in sharepoint Forms

Hi,   I have create a form few months ago, so there is lot of data that are saved in the sharepoint list.   But now, we ask me to make some changes.   But I have got a big issue that prevents me to do them :  When I make a change, the forms that are already saved with the first form take the changes too.   Does someone have a solution for that the changes are only implemented on the new items ?   Thanks,   Thomas

Workflow not triggering on XLSM file

I have an excel spreadsheet in the XLSM formatting on my SharePoint site.  However, when I attempt save the document to trigger the workflow, which includes the sending of an e-mail, an e-mail is not sent.  The workflow details reflect that it was completed and shows the actions, but no e-mails.   I have a XLSX document in the same folder, and an e-mail generates with no issues.  I have also added a new XLS document and the e-mail is triggered as well.   Therefore, it appears that there is something directly with the XLSM extension on the document.   Are there any limitations with being able to use XLSM as part of my Document Library to have the workflow trigger?

How to update the running workflow to the latest version on multiple items.

Hello, I am making updates to an active workflow as the team finds more efficient setups/requests changes. I have been manually assigning each job to the latest workflow every time I update the workflow to accommodate the latest request. We have over 100 active jobs (and growing), so the manual changing of each job to the latest version of the workflow is a lengthy task to say the least. My question - Is there a way to update multiple/all jobs from previous workflows to the latest version of the workflow? I am a novice at SharePoint and Nintex so I am hoping I am missing something that would make these transfers to the most updated workflow easier to transfer for all active jobs. All advice is greatly appreciated. The screenshots below show the steps I am currently making to update one job at a time to the latest workflow.    I click on "Advanced", then "Workflows" in the "more ..." circled above. I then click on the checkbox next to the Workflow I then update the date to today's date
