Nintex Subscription Usage Report double-counting some workflows (On Prem)

The Nintex Subscription Usage Report available via on-premises SharePoint Central Administration > NINTEX > LIcensing is displaying and double-counting a couple of workflows.  I’ve checked it over the past few days and it is not correcting itself.  Is there anything I can do to force it to re-do its inventory? We are licensed for 10 Production Workflows and it thinks that is what we have, but the true count is only 8 because it’s double-counting 2 workflows.  It shows the same metadata values in the repeats (Workflow name, Site relative URL, Production/Development, Billable Actions, and Total Actions), so it’s not as if I can go anywhere to delete the “extra” workflows...

Auto-fill entries on Nintex forms based on entry link on Sharepoint

I’m building a big Nintex form on Sharepoint 2019 and I’d like to know if it’s possible to have certain columns already filled out automatically based on from which location on the site users access the form. I know it is possible to set a standard value in the content type, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I want to have the standard value be variable, for example through different urls that I could link on different sitepages.

Nintex Form - how to subtract days from a specified date on the form

I want to subtract specific number of days as required from a specified date ‘File Receipt date’ selected on the form by users and show them in a calculated value field. Similar to using the ‘dateAddDays’ function, only subtracting the days and not adding them.End goal is to show the next milestone dates as M1 Date:19 days before, and M2 Date:3 days before, the specified ‘File Receipt date’ on the form once users select the File Receipt Day.Any idea?

Receiving Multiple Emails From Workflow

Hi all, I am currently struggling with a problem with my workflow as when it is completed, rather than sending one email to all the senders, it sends 2. I want it so it only sends one email when the workflow is completed. There are currently 3 recipients in the notification. If you require any further details, please do not hesitate to message me and I will be happy to provide.  I've attached a snippet of the workflow.

Workflows stay paused after December 2022 Sharepoint update?

Using emojis on radio buttons

I was just wondering if there was a way of having emojis on form in place of the text on a radio button.  I have a Survey that’s being built, and the customer would like users to rate their responses by using smiley faces / emojis (instead of doing a 1-5, or star rating). Is this possible?

Component Workflow Choices

In my situation, I run a daily check of data within a list. Depending on dates, I may email the originator for action. I need to add a couple new checks. I built a component workflow (Email WF) that emails either Warning #1 to the originator or Warning #2 to the originator. I will be doing the component WF synchronously to avoid blocking in the database/SharePoint list.I can call this component WF by looping in the calling WF. I would call the component WF once per loop with the ID number of the list item. This may mean calling the component WF up to 25 times each morning.The other option would be to change the component WF to loop through a collection of ID#’s and call it with the collection. The calling WF would only need to call the component WF once with collection of up to 25 ID numbers.My question: Which is more efficient? Calling multiple times with 1 ID or Calling once with collection of IDs.Thanks

Failed to retrieve form from workflow with flexi task in running workflow

We have a problem with flexi tasks in Nintex (5.2.4.10 latest version). It seems related to the december SP2019 CU. When a user wants to handle a task (which was already started before the CU, so with a running workflow). An error occurs. This is the ULS:Failed to retrieve form from workflow. Error: Value cannot be null.  Parameter name: s. Stack trace:    at System.IO.StringReader..ctor(String s)     at Nintex.Workflow.WorkflowConfig2010.LoadWorkflowConfig(String configXml)     at Nintex.Workflow.Forms.ControlTemplates.TaskForm.GetWorkflowConfig()     at Nintex.Workflow.Forms.ControlTemplates.TaskForm.GetForm(String formKey, FormData formData, Boolean hasEnterpriseLicense)    b8b68da0-cd82-0049-f307-c0152e223f98 Anybody an idea what the cause can be and how to resolve this? Thanks.

Custom JS in Form Settings strips CR LF (on prem 2019)

Custom JS in Form Settings strips CR LF (on prem 2019) All, Looking for some clues. When entering JS into the Form Settings section of a form, after pasting the text into the field, many of the carriage returns and line feeds are stripped from the entry.   This is seen upon re-opening the form settings. When there are // comments in the JS code, this creates HUGE problems in that the code won't run since comment lines may extend forever. Additionally, this makes it a TOTAL PAIN to read the code in that box - or even copying to another editor -- as it all needs to be reformatted. Thoughts? Thanks, jeff HEXEDITOR Dumps of before and after below:

Duplicate tasks and emails generated for only one responder

Hi All, This is related to SharePoint 2016 On Prem (not hybrid), patched to Nov 2022.We are experiencing an issue with a select number of workflows in a site collection where a list item is created, a workflow starts and processes, however once it gets to the flexi-task, it will generate one task, then about 10-15 seconds later, generate another. it alternates between generating two and four tasks total. this issue also presents when the workflow is manually rerun. some workflows (which contain flexi-tasks) in the same site DO NOT have this issue (yet).All but the latest task work, with the previous iterations of the task generating a “sorry, something went wrong” page. When checking ULS logs for the correlation ID (from the error page mentioned above), there are three errors that jump out(<Task URL>): Nintex.Workflow.NWHumanApprovalTaskListNullException: The associated Task List is null (Build: 4630) Failed to handle form host page on initialize event. Error: Object Reference no

Does Update multiple items using filter of date and time does not work?

Hello!I would like to update multiple items which are filtered by a date/time column in the list so that I only get the items where the date/time column is set to a timestamp before now. As you can see in the screenshot attached (sorry, it’s German), I calculate a date (current date with current time) and put it to a workflow variable (v_DateTime_date and v_DateTime_txt). After that I would like to update multiple items where the column “Datum bis” is before v_DateTime_date.It looks like that the filter checks only the date but not the time. Elements, where the column “Datum bis” is set to a timestamp before today, are found and updated. Elements, where the column “Datum bis” is set to a timestamp earlier on the current day, are not found and not updated.So my questions are:Is this a known limitation of Nintex for SharePoint 2019? Is there a different way to achieve the descripted goal? Any hints? By the way: It seems that delete multiple items acts in a different way and the time is a
