Repeating section in a Power Automate workflow

I’ve created a Nintex Form connected to a SharePoint list. The Nintex form contains a repeating section that is connected to a multiple lines of text field in the SharePoint list.I have a Power Automate workflow that creates a PDF file based on information stored in the list item. I’ve got the PDF working well except for the repeating table section.Does anyone know of any resources/videos that cover this specific part of Nintex for SharePoint? I am self-taught, and this is definitely a gap in my knowledge!

How to use "Update Document" to set/unset Checkbox Content control

Hi,I’ve searched high and low on here and Google, with no joy.I have a Word document that I use a workflow to update text boxes (Content Controls) from data in a list item.I have a requirement to set / unset Checkboxes but I am struggling to do this. I have tried setting “Value” to “X” and also tried “Checked” but both set the box to the literal value.Does anyone know the correct method to set of unset a Checkbox Content Control?Many thanks.

Search All Nintex Forms in a Site Collection or Web App

I am using Nintex Forms 2019 on premises.  I have forms developed on several site collections / sites.  Many of these forms use the SQL Request control.  We recently migrated several databases to a different SQL server with a different server name and we are trying to change the connection strings in all of the SQL Request controls to point to the correct server.  We are getting SQL login failures, but it is difficult to know which forms are being loaded to generate those errors.I know that a Nintex Form can be exported in XML format, so it is searchable.  Does anyone have a method (Powershell script, etc.) to search all Nintex forms in a site collection or in a web app for an occurrence of a string (like a SQL server name) and list the site name and list name where the form was found?If I can find the forms that contain the old SQL server name in the connection string by searching the XML, I can fix them easily.Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Workflows not Viewable for a Single Library

I have never seen anything remotely like this before.SharePoint 2016 - Nintex WorkflowsIn every Library/List, except one (started this morning), I can click on an item and select Workflows (either from Drilldown menus, or Ribbon).    The one this morning is giving me an error whenever I try to get to Workflows (the famous “Sorry something went wrong, an unexpected error has occurred”).   It gives me a Correlation ID, but I find nothing for that in the ULS logs.I have even gone as far as removing Nintex feature from site and re-adding it. Any ideas?

Renaming Nintex configuration database during migration

Is it supported and if so, how do you properly rename a configuration database during a migration between one farm to the next (eg. when upgrading SharePoint)?We’ve tried to attach a config database that has been renamed to match the environment it’s now in, but the operation fails with an error stating it can’t find the database with the old name. We’ve run the _PrepareForNewEnvironment stored procedure before attempting to attach the database.

Responsive Form Visible Rule

Hello, I am trying to create a visible rule within my responsive form for a group field to only show when the form is in new mode AND if the person is the submitter. Otherwise, this specific group section will not be visible.  Is this supported with New Responsive forms? Currently I can create the rule if it is in New form mode or if the the person opening the form is the submitter. I can’t seem to include both options.

Vertical Text alignment in display mode does not work anymore

Since a while I noticed that the vertical alignment via CSS styling is no longer applied properly.The inner control works well (like in edit mode) but displaying the content of e.g. a dropdown box or multiline text field, is no longer writing vertically.Also it looks like the length (size) of the controls is not properly set by CSS. I am using this style: .bb-input-vertical-up{position: absolute;.nf-filler-control select { height: 100%; width: 100%; }display: inline; transition: width 2s, height 2s, background-color 2s, rotate 2s;-webkit-transform: rotate(270deg); -moz-transform: rotate(270deg); -o-transform: rotate(270deg);transform: rotate(-90deg); z-index: 1;writing-mode: vertical-lr;text-align: left;}.bb-input-vertical-up:hover{ position: absolute; rotate: 90deg; z-index: 999 !important;}The code will align the assigned controls, vertically and rotate it -90 degrees (horizontal) again when hovering. When I inspect the control in Display mode then the content is using:    font

Nintex Workflow 2019 Workflow history

Is Nintex workflow product version: 5.2.5.0 compatible with SharePoint 2019 environment?We recently installed the latest version of Nintex Workflow 2019 on our test environment SharePoint 2019.

An invalid character was found in the mail header: ':'

Hi All - I do not have a coding background and build quite basic approval workflows for use in my workplace.I have configured workflow to send email notification as well as various flexi-tasks. This workflow is still in development and has been working perfectly for about a month now until last night I began getting the following error message:"Failed to send notification. An invalid character was found in the mail header: ':'." Nothing changed at all in the workflow actions to result in this error - merely continuing to test run submissions through the workflow. I have attached screen shots of how this is playing out in real time. I have tried the following mitigation thus far that have all failed:-removing references from the email subject-removing references from the email body-deleting the first send notification action altogether and placing my Management Approval flexi-task as the first  workflow action and still get the same error message - but the workflow says it is "in Progre

Update item via workflow

Hello,So I am trying to update a field or set a field (I’ve tried both controls, but no luck) in a sharepoint list after a form is submitted (via workflow).Once a form is submitted for an event (in nintex forms for office 365) a checkbox will appear afterwards, when the user goes in to edit if they want to cancel the event. I then have a workflow (nintex workflow for O365) waiting for the check box to be checked and if so, I’m trying to update the sharepoint column with “Yes”. In this case its a boolean since the control is Yes or No.This is what I have… shouldn’t this work? Or am I missing something?

Removing 'Action History' from a workflow history

In a discussion with a Nintex Reseller the other day a suggestion was made that the Action History could be removed from all workflow histories. I asked, somewhat surprised, if there was an NWAdmin command that does that and he answered that there wasn’t which only elevated my suspicion. Are you familiar with this practice? I’d like to not even have that information recorded to begin with but if it could be removed after an error free completion. Any posh scripts that do this work?Thanks
