Update Hyperlink field with Dynamic text

I have multiple lists with approximately 500-1000 items each. For each item, there is a title field and a hyperlink field. Unfortunately, the creators of the list only filled out the URL portion of the field, and not the description. I would like to create a workflow to automate filling out the hyperlink fields. The issue I have is anytime I use a workflow variable, it loads the string into just the URL portion.  As it stands now, here is what I have tried: Query list. For each item, do the following:Query for title, set to single line of text (s_title) and query for hyperlink, set to single line of text (s_url).Build string (s_urlString) as s_title, s_url. Update hyperlink field to s_urlString. If I type a string into the update item action (ie "http://yahoo.com, test") it works fine. The word "test" shows and links to yahoo. Anytime I use any variable or other reference, it does not work, and instead the hyperlink shows as "http://yahoo.com, test" with both strings in the URL portion

Email Only Shared Mailbox From SharePoint Group

Hi Nintex Community, I'm trying to create a review process using Request Review. - Multiple people will be reviewing a Nintex form by leaving a comment.  I'm sending the review to multiple shared mailboxes at the same time.  My issue is: Because I'm using SharePoint groups in order for the users that have access to the shared mailbox to have access to review the form they need to be in the SharePoint group as well. Doing this makes the shared mailbox and the users get the email. I would like the shared mailboxes to be the only ones that receive the email but have the users that have access to the shared mailbox to have access to review the form. I'm open to all options if anyone has a different approach I should be using. - Can post pictures if needed If anyone would be able to help me with this process it would be very appreciated.  Thank you for your time in advance

Start Nintex workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item

We have a Nintex workflow which starts with the minor version, goes for multiple approvals and ends with publishing the major version by changing the approval status to "Approved" But. Is it possible to start this Nintex workflow like the following way where we can start an OOTB approval workflow?@ The best advantage of using the above way is that user can just click on "Publish" and it will start an approval. Or is there any OOTB way to kick off the workflow from item ribbon? I also read the following explanation where we can achieve it through some custom coding but the client want to go for an easy way. http://www.ilovesharepoint.com/2009/01/publish-major-version-declarative.html PS : Yeah, they laughed at me saying why Nintex can't provide this feature when even an OOTB 2010 approval workflow can do it.

Query XML No Outputs

I have an email enabled library where there are SurveyGizmo form inputs. The XML is extracted from these inputs. This tested successfully recently (yesterday), but the problem is it periodically fails to give outputs (today). Nothing in my Query XML or Create Item actions changes, so I don't understand why I get XML output sometimes and sometimes not.

Nested inline functions not working after migration to SharePoint 2019

Greetings:I'm working on a site migrated to SharePoint 2019 (from 2010) for which I'm getting lots of "Sorry, something went wrong" problems that I've traced (after lots of testing) to an issue with a conditional statement in a Nintex form. This is the statement:fn-Not(fn-IsMemberOfGroup("HBG PMs"))If I usefn-IsMemberOfGroup("HBG PMs") orfn-Not("HBG PMs") the form works fine. I'm sure that it's the nesting that is causing the problem. This same expression has worked in my SP2010 environment with no problem for years. Can anyone recommend a way around this problem? FWIW, I'm using this expression as a conditional in the Appearance section of a repeating section control. Thanks!

Start a Task Process - fill out additional columns

Hello, I have a workflow with the 'Start a Task Process' action, is it possible with this action to have the workflow fill out some additional columns for the tasks? Would like it to fill out the ID of the item that the task is running against but don't see an option to populate the additional columns. I am aware of the related item column but that doesn't seem to have a great way to perform a look up against. Thanks,Zach

Round Robin assign a large number of items (loop is extremely slow)

Hello All,  I currently have a site workflow that looks to List A (list of associates and order number of which they should be assigned an item. Ex - Joe Person, order number  = 3; John Person, order number = 6 - if Bob Person who's order number is 5, the next item will be assigned to john Person) and updates List B with the next available associate (John Person) on the list then sends them a summary of all of the items that were assigned to them.   The workflow runs a inside of  loop until no more unassigned items exist.  Inside of the loop is a for each action that queries the list for the last assigned item, gets that person that it was last assigned to then assigns the current item to the next person (via order number) on the list.  The issue is that it can take 20 minutes to loop through just 6 items and there are over 200 items that may need to be assigned DAILY. so its pretty time sensitive.  The list of associates available is currently 12, this is not a sttatic number of peopl

Adding a updated document in the workflow to the SharePoint 2013 list

HI Everyone I have searched the site and although I have some attachment responses, I have not been able to find any in relation to my question.   I have a nintex workflow which creates a Word document with the fields from the list using the Update Document action.  Everything works perfectly - the document is sent to the relevant people but they now want the attachment to appear in the actual list.  The workflow commences when a new or edited item is submitted.  How would I create the attachment?

Sharepoint - populating a field based on priority lookup of other fields

Hello all, Right now I have several status fields which I require users to fill in status of Green, Amber, or Red. There's a Status 1, Status 2, and Status 3 which they have to indicate the colour of. There's also an "Overall Status" which should indicate the color based on the status which is most behind (ie. if any of the 3 status is red, this will be red, or if one status is amber while others are green, this will be amber).  I'm looking for a way to automatically populate the value in "Overall Status" based on the aforementioned logic, but don't know where to start. Please would anyone have any pointers for me?  Much appreciated.

can't delete hyperlink value in a form

I am using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex 2013. I had a Nintex form with an unconnected hyperlink field. Some users went into the form and they have updated that field with URLs. That's fine. I later decided I wanted to create a column in my list to capture that hyperlink value (because I wanted to export the data to Excel). So in my list I created a new 'Hyperlink or Picture' column called ScheduleLink. I then went to the Nintex form and connected the previously unconnected hyperlink field to that new column called ScheduleLink. The only problem is, in the records where there were URLs, now users are not able to have a blank value. If the users decided to delete the previous URLs, the value will reappear! This is what happens: they delete the URLs and it looks like it disappears. Then they click Save. It looks like the value is gone, but if the user opens the form again, the values magically are still there! The values are gone from the list view, but they are still there in the form. It

How to Create A Form that will Populate Several Fields

I'm new to using Nintex and have been tasked with creating a Nintex form for a SharePoint list that has many fields and several are lookups. The SharePoint list is in a one to many relationship, meaning there are multiple records for a person who has a unique serial number. For example a persons (unique serial number) could be in the list 5 times, meaning they have 5 records of participating in X activity. I would like to use the form to enter a unique serial number for a person and have all their records from the list appear. For each record that appears on the form I'd like to have fields that cannot be edited i.e. start date, end date, location, and status. Additionally for each record there will be fields that can be edited i.e. contact date, contacted by, and notes. As a novice who has never used Nintex, I have been able to go to List > Nintex Forms and a ready made form of all the fields is visible. 1. What do I need to do to allow multiple records to show in the form? i.e. do
