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
I'm creating a task in a subsite using call web service action, Task gets created and assigned to user, however does not trigger email notification that it is supposed to be sent upon task creation. (This is for a Task list that has email notifications enabled in advanced settings) Tried creating a Nintex WF but it does not trigger either. Also when the task is created and assigned to user, it does not get recognized by the list as it does not show under My tasks. Â
Hello All, I've created a Nintex form that I would like all my fellow employees to fill out. How do I attach the form to an email to send out, instead of sending them to the SharePoint site and clicking new item? Thanks!
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. Â
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?
In Nintex Form, I have a calculated value which value is set though Lookup function.The calculated Value contains URL of an image. How can I set this URL to be the image URL of an image control. I did the following..CSS class of calculated value = photoLinkCSS class of Image control = personalPhoto In Java script of the form, I defined the following but no thing is happening .. any suggestions?:NWF$(".photoLink").change(function(){setLink();});function setLink() {var linkValue = NWF$(".photoLink").val();NWF$('.personalPhoto').attr('href',linkValue);}Â
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.
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?
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?
Hi all. I am trying to explore task delegation but the task delegation option doesn't appear on the drop down menu as shown in this screenshot from a Nintex article. Is this available in Nintex for SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on-prem?If yes, how do I activate it so users can delegate task approvals themeselves? (https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nintex2013/help/workflow/RootCategory/SharePoint/Nintex.Workflow.Delegation.htm) Thanks in advance.
Running into a problem with some workflows and I need some help. I have two lists I am using. List A and B. List A is copying data to List B. This part of the workflow is working fine. List B then uses another workflow to update list B status based on users actions. Works fine too. Where I am struggling is in my third workflow where I want List B to use an update item and write back to List A without creating a new item on List A. Ex: List A: Columns 1,2,3,4,5, and ID; List B with named columns to match List A minus ID.List A uses WFa to create items columns 1,2,3,4,5 and writes ID to SP ID column I created on List B Users will then make changes to column 5 in List B. WFb uses update item to update Column 3 on List B based on a completed Y/N field in Column 5 in List B.Goal is that:WFc on List B will then take newly updated status of column 3 and modify the status of column 3 on List A using SPID to link back to the ID of the item in List A. Tried multiple methods of updating item with
Hello All,  I have a multi line string text variable. It is a sentence that list set items.

I need to auto Populate Form Controls based an Employee's ID. I currently have this setup using the lookup function and it works great! Here is the article I used to setup this function: https://jessemchargue.com/2020/01/31/how-to-auto-populate-form-controls-in-sharepoint-online-with-nintex/ However, rather than having a user select their Employee ID from a dropdown, I would like them to have to type in their Employee ID in a text box, then have other form control auto population based on what the Employee typed in a text box.

Hi Everyone, I found out after a few days of trying various things that a Managed Metadata Field cannot be used as a filter within a Nintex Form. What I would now like to try is have a Single Line of Text text box populate once the user selects a term in the Managed Metadata field.  I have it working only in the developer toolbar when I invoke the following JS.  NWF$('#' + mUnitText).val(NWF$('#' + mUnit).find("span.valid-text").text()) mUnitText being the Single Line of text box and mUnit being the MMD field.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.Â
We have a control 'MyControl' on the form not connected to the Sharepoint list column.I would like to extract that data from the form.I am using Query XML action to get FormData xml. However 'MyControl' is a list lookup, I can only get the ID, not the title while using XPATH '//MyControl' Thank you.

I need the assigned due date to update with the adjusted due date when the adjusted date date is not empty. so..... Assigned due date == Adjusted due date IF  Adjusted due date is not blank Any help would be great I have research the internet for days with no luck. Rule in list or on form or even a workflow............ Thank you
This is probably easy to do but I can't figure it out. Let's say I have job titles: Job I, Job II, Job III in a Department I. What would my workflow look like if I needed to send an email (when a task created) to just Job III in a Department I? Thank you!
Just wondering if there is way to remove the Add Attachment option from attachment control in edit mode. I have tried disabling the control but that also, removes the option to view the attachments. I am just wanted to remove option to add more attachments once form has been submitted.
Hi all,  I have a quick query - I want to update the ApprovalURL item property so that it includes an &Source=mysite.com after the OOTB URL, so the page will redirect the user to mysite.com after they approve the task. So as is the auto-generated URL is: https://site.com/site/SiteName/Site/WorkflowTasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=2959and what I want ishttps://site.com/site/SiteName/Site/WorkflowTasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=2959&Source=https://mysite.com  Does anybody know is this possible?Â
I created an InfoPath form which contains 17 checkbox fields. I need to reference the answers to those fields in a Nintex generated email, but I can't figure out the best way to change the true/false values to yes/no. Management feels that true/false values in the email doesn't look right and prefers that we have yes/no values instead. Is there a simple way to do this without creating an overly complicated workflow section to make this change? Thanks!
I have three dropdowns on my form that are all list lookups1. Service Area2. Division3. SectionProblem I have is there is a Division in each Service Area (called "Administration" but they have different sections under them. Since Nintex only allows us to filter on one field haw can I get it to filter on Service Area and Division rather than just division?Data example is as follows:We use Nintex for SharePoint 2013 on PremWe have three lists:1. Service Areas (just one column - Service Area)2. Divisions (with two columns -  Service Area and Division)3. Sections (with two columns -  Division and Section) Â
Question: Is there a way to open a form in Edit mode using a Javascript button and a function? I'm trying to allow users to toggle back and forth between Display and Edit in a content type form. I can make the Display mode button by making a Save and Submit button and assigning the Redirect URL to {Common:ItemUrl} Is there something similar that will allow me to access Edit mode?  Background: I know how to do this on form that is local to a list by using something like the following in the Redirect:window.open('https://site.name.com/listname/EditForm.aspx?ID={ItemProperty:ID} &mode=1','_self'); This solution won't work because I want to use a Content Type to control my Classic form. I will be using this form in seven different sub-sites and if changes are needed, it made sense to me to be able to propagate all changes with a content type. I have discovered that you cannot edit a form on a list without breaking the inheritance of the content type (the form appears to become local t
