Capture the Display Names of a Nintex People Variable

I have a variable in a workflow that is of the type "Person or Group".The initiator of the workflow selects the names that they want to assign the task to using this variable on the start form.I am trying to capture the Display names of the people they have selected.My intention is to write the names of the assigned personnel in a message that is emailed to a supervisor.I cannot find a way to capture the Display names.I can set another variable of type "Single line of text" to the content of the Person variable by using the Set Variable command without coercing it to Display Name.But when I try to set the Text variable to the Display Names  I get "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type."And when I try to set the variable to just Display Name …I get ONLY the Display Name of the last person entered on the form.Is there anyway to capture ALL the Display Names of all the people selected in a Start Form Variable?

Use css in Nintex Form on SharePoint 2019 On-Prem

I'm new to Nintex form and try to add the form in SP2019 On-Prem modern site template (communication site). I create a form and want to add the customized css. By searching in forum and online, it mentions that in the form settings, there is a place to put customized css. But I don't see it in my form settings. Do I miss anything here? Or I should look for different place to set it up? Thanks!

Validation rule for Repeating Section Maximum Rows property

I have scoured forum for post related to this, but found nothing.  So I'm asking the question: I need to limit the max number of rows on a repeating section, based on the value of another field.  If the waste class is one of two values, the form creator can enter multiple lines in repeating section, but if the waste class is not one of these values, they should only be able to enter a single line.Is it possible to put this validation on repeating section Maximum rows property?  If java script is required, I don't know java script at all, so please help me with detailed instructions.

Lookup field change event triggering twice

Hello, I am using Nintex 2016 version on SharePoint 2016.I have a repeating section on nintex form . and the repeating section has a list look up.I have written a js code to fire change event whenever a value is changed in list lookup inside repeating section. But i see that that event is firing twice.Below is the sample code i tried.NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function(){NWF$(".LookupClass").change(function(){checkfordata();})})function checkfordata(){alert("inside the function");}whenever i change value in the lookup field, i am getting alert twice due to which i am assuming that the function is being called twice. I even tried to place the change event in document.ready function but still no luck. 😞Can anyone please share your thoughts to get this fixed to call the function once when there is change in value of the lookup? Thank in advance.Usha.

Copy multiple columns to different rows on another SP list

I will try to be as succinct as possible. Basically I have a Nintex form built on one list for Projects. The form has 10 panels with a Resource Column (which is a People Picker) an Hours column (Number) and Roles (Lookup) in each of them. A checkbox on 9 of them with logic that the other panels are hidden until you check it. Basically trying to mimic a repeating table. The form gets filled out I have a workflow to copy to another list. Depending on the number of resources you fill out is how many items on the next list. So choose 4 resources on List A workflow writes 4 separate rows in list B. The challenge is on List B there are columns for Resources, Hours, Roles and Project Name. So I want to pull that info from List A. So the 4 rows in list B now have four different individual Resources, Hours, Roles and all with the same project name. I can link the two lists easily enough as List B's Project Name is a lookup to List A's Project Name column which gets populated by the form. I can

Nintex Forms opening issue on Internet Explorer

Hi everyone, i'm stucked on a issue with Internet explorer. This issue appears only with SharePoint 2019, it worked on SharePoint 2013. On a list, i can access to the ribbon and choose the Nintex Forms menu :  But then, i am redirected to a white page .... Here are our Internet Explorer configuration : If i set the parameter and uncheck the option "Display websites in compatibility view", it works.  Nevertheless, this solution can't be used because we need the initial configuration for other topics (no GPO possible to set it for all users). It works on SharePoint 2013 but not in SharePoint 2019. It works on other browsers as well (Edge / Chrome). Have you any idea which might resolve it ?  Thx a lot ! Xavier.

list lookup then utilize rule to fill in text field

I'm using a list lookup to search another list for a company name. If its on the other list and I select it I want the Company Text Field to populate with the name of the company name in the list. I setup a rule to accomplish this however the company box just shows the text and the text box shows the ID and Name. I do not want the ID to be listed. Any thoughts on this? I have included attachments.

Display Repeating Section in List View using Nintex Form 2016

Hi,I'm new to the Nintex world. I've just approached to Nintex Form and Workflow 2016. In this forum i have seen lots of information regarding my problem and i tried to set up my solution but i've come to a dead point and i need some help.My solution is the following:First of all i created the form. I named the Repeating Section as "Repeat Section ins". I created a new column "RepeatedSectionMLT" as multi-line text and configure it as plain text. Then i connected the Repeating Section to the new column just created.Problem: i want to show in the list view on Sharepoint only the list of product inserted into the Repeating Section. After that i tried to put some information into the form to see what happens, but the result was the following:  So i passed to Nintex Workflow 2016 and entered the command "Query XML". Then i copied and pasted the XML code in the XML section and used the XPath generator to extract the information that i want to show in the list view (Product only). Then i

Nintex Forms Rule - Proper Formula syntax

I'm trying to get the syntax for a rule formula correct and I must be doing something incorrectly because, well, it doesn't do what I want it to do.  I have a field with 7 radio buttons, I'll call them A, B, C, D, E, F and G.  I also have a panel with a couple fields in it that I want to have displayed on the form, but only if options B, C, or D are selected.  The field name associated with the 7 options is called WorkflowState.  I've been trying to use the "Or" statement but it doesn't seem to work.  My statement is below.  WorkflowState!='B'||WorkflowState!='C'||WorkflowState!='D'          Hide the panel if rule runs I've tried spaces on both sides of the || characters but nothing seems to work.  If I just do a single value without any ||, it works fine. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Help Configuring Set a Condition

I have a nintex form where the user selects via a radio button the "system to update". The choices in the radio button are ProPricer, Cobra or Both. How can I configure my "set a condition" workflow action to go down 3 different paths for each option? It seems to work where System to Update value is equal to ProPricer and to Cobra but how do I create another condition for Both? If both is checked it would need to run each path for ProPricer and Cobra parallel. Any help would be appreciated.

Copy to sharepoint action (2013) - is the help incorrect?

I've read dozens of threads about the ability to copy list items with attachments using the "Copy to Sharepoint" not being effective and using "create item" and having to copy the attachments to an interim library and then web calls to add them to the new location but the help clearly states:"In a list, any attachments on the list item that the workflow is running on will be copied."https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nintex2013/help/workflow/RootCategory/Actions/Nintex.Workflow.CopySharePoint.htmI can't get the action to copy anything list to list, only list attachments to library.I've spent an afternoon attempting something, that from the help, would appear to be straightforward but feel like I'm going crazy or missing something really stupid!

Workflow State Machine - How to branch to a different state based on a field value

I'm trying to figure out how to branch to a specific State based on a field value.  My workflow has 4 states - Approval, Assign, Build and Complete.  The first time a form goes through, it goes thru all 4 states successfully.  What I'm trying to do is, if a form needs to be edited, route it to the correct state without going through all 4 states. Example...if a form is just being edited to change the scheduling or email distribution fields, it doesn't need to go thru the Approval state, it just needs to go to the Build state.  If the form is being edited to change, add or delete files, then it needs to be approved.  I have a Choice field in Nintex Forms where a radio button is selected for the type of edit.Right now, it always just goes to the first state, Approval.  Is there a way to set it so that if the field value = "x", goto state "y"?

Workflow Issue: Multiple Selection field in Query List

I'm having an issue with the Query List action in Workflow. I want it to filter on a multiple selection fieldTo clarify: For whichever combination of choices are selected for the item the workflow is running for, I want the Query List to find all other items in the library with the same combination. Query List works if I put in a specific combination and run the workflow so I know everything else is calibrated properly. I need the workflow to work for all combinations though. I've tried a few different options including:Converting the multiple selection field to a text string along with removing commas and white space using the convert to text and regular expression actions to see if that made a difference Tried using contain instead of equals as seen below  Any help is much appreciated.

Action controls do not stay minimized

I have lots of forEach loops, action sets, and other controls that support the Minimize/Maximize function in my Nintex 2010 workflows. In general I like to keep them all minimized while I'm making changes in other parts of the workflow since this reduces clutter.  However, when I close a published workflow for which all these controls are minimized, and then open it again in the designer, they are all maximized again.  What a pain! Is this normal or a bug? Is there a setting that will keep all controls minimized until I explicitly maximize them again? Thanks,Bruce

Sharepoint Lookup column to document set

Scenario:I have a document set and a calendar list. I have created a lookup column within the calendar list to pull data from the document set created items (whatever is populated in the "calendar title" field (within document sets) is to feed into the "Title" drop down field within the calendar item being created). That way, when an item is created within the calendar, we can tie the appropriate document set for that item. Here is 1 of 2 issues:I am having to switch the document set into classic view in order for the calendar to link out to the appropriate document set. Issue 2 OF 2: When someone goes to update the title within the calendar, it does not update. The original title stays. Any help will be great! Thank you!
