Second workflow keeps restarting

Hi,I have a form that is a two part form and two workflows associated to the form.When the first section of the form is filled out, it triggers Workflow#1  based on When Items are created. Workflow#2 is set to trigger when Items are modified and when a yes/no question is not empty.  Users are allowed to go back to the form when they need to fill out the second half of the form if they do not have the information to fill it out at first  If the second part of the form hasn’t been filled out by the user, the user gets an email reminding them to fill it out. (Refer to: @bamaeric solution )  Right now both workflows run fine, however once they both complete, Workflow#2 restarts again. It happens with every submission  How can I set the workflow settings to stop Workflow#2 from running again after it has already completed?

Nintex Synchronization Failing

Hi, in our SharePoint 2016 On-Prem instance, the Nintex Synchronization timer job keeps failing:Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)).   We have a dedicated Domain accoint that is used for the SharePoint Timer Service (which apparently runs the timer jobs), and that account now has been added to the Farm Administrators group in SharePoint (to try and solve this), and that account is also an Admin on both app and database servers, as well as sysadmin privileges in SQL Server. Where else can I try to solve this? SharePoint Log isn’t any better, just says Access Denied. Here it is, 2023, and Microsoft can’t simply add the name of what’s denying access in the error message?? Oy!

Using Javascript, how to read the text from a Multi Line textbox in a repeating section

Hi, Using Javascript, I’m trying to read the text from a Multi Line textbox (plain text) in a repeating section. When the Submit button is clicked, my Javascript function is called in which I’m trying to read the text into a variable for now. The line of code in bold below doesn’t work the first time I enter text in the textbox(es) and click Submit. A blank/empty value is read, in all rows. But, if I edit the form and click Submit a second time, the code reads the values correctly from all rows.  function On_Submit_Click(){     // for each row in the Repeating Section (.cssMyRepsec)     NWF$(".cssMyRepsec .nf-repeater-row:not(.nf-repeater-row-hidden)").each(function()     {            // try to read the MultiLine text (cssMyMultiLine is the CSS Class of the control)            var textVar = NWF$(this).find(".cssMyMultiLine").text();                // when the text was just entered, var is empty. Reopen+Submit, code works.             alert(textVar);          }} Any help would be much a

Formating date to YYYYMMDD

I need to format a date using a workflow from datetime to just the date in the this format: YYYYMMDDExample:Before: 8/7/2023 12:00:00 AMAfter: 20230807 I only need the formatted date for a specific SharePoint 2016 list, thus why I need the workflow to format it. It is a site workflow that is scheduled to run. I’ve seen some guides on formatting the date but none have worked when I try to do the specific format I need.

If you have sharepoint 2010 intranet with a nintex form and you're trying to save documents uploaded to the forms via a workflow, can you save them to a file server that is not cloud based.

I am trying to save a document directly to a company fileshare via workflow. We have SharePoint intranet 2010 and working with Nintex forms. When you create a nintex form there is an attachment upload that appears at the bottom of the form. See example: When I select the controls, I don’t see where I can specify a location to deposit the attachment.Same in the workflow.I am trying to save this to the following:Is there a way to accomplish this and incorporate it into a workflow?

Nintex Workflow Runs but ends in "Failed on Start"

I’m having major issues with a workflow that use to previously run flawlessly. This workflow is supposed to send 419 individual emails to 419 individual people. I’ve noticed that once the workflow ends (after it sends 419 emails) it starts again resulting in double or triple emails being sent. The end result is a ‘Failed on Start” error. Anyone have any clue as to while this would happen. Nothing has been edited

Nintex 2019 Workflow - 'Workflow Status' column has disappeared

Using SharePoint 2019 on-premise and Nintex 2019, a workflow that was not touched recently has now lost it’s workflow column. In other words, in the views of this document library it is not possible to display the workflow status of this workflow. The workflow is running fine, but there is now status column to add to views. It was present as recently as last week. Here is some more information:SharePoint patched monthly to most recent version. Nintex is working in other site collections fine. Have tried disabling the Nintex features at the site collection level and the site level. Have republished the workflow. Have done an IIS reset on the servers.None of these steps have helped. If anyone has helpful to share it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Nintex form(s) with rules no longer fire

We have quite a few Nintex 2013 forms and workflows which were working fine for few years until today morning. Few issues listed below:On some forms, the list item attachment control is not loading/visible on the form (the attach control is visible in the ribbon but not doing anything when clicked) On some forms rules are not working that would show/hide controls based on a dropdown change or checkbox checked/unchecked. The hidden controls are not loading on the forms and these fields have conditional validation rules too (mandatory if applicable/visible). On some forms change of dropdown should auto populate certain controlsWe have confirmed with the networking team that no browser policy was changed, and no security/windows patches were applied. Please help. All our production forms are broken.

Concurrent User Error Message - but only one user

Hello - I am struggling with locating the cause of an error that some of my users experiences some of the time when attempting to save data in a Nintex - classic form in SP2013 on-premise. The error references a concurrent user (message text below): "Sorry, something went wrong: Save Conflict - Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. If you want your changes to be applied, click Back to your Web browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes." I have interviewed the end users, reviewed workflow and version history logs.*There is only one end user in the form at the time of the error.*There is not a workflow running on the form while they are in it. The workflows take a minute to run. All save buttons are "Save and Submit/Close" so the end user is getting the error when they are exiting the form.*I've added a pause action on the modified workflow for 1 minute hoping that the time the form saves and the workflow runs would potentially prevent this error.

Hello! We just updated our SP from 2016 to 2019. After searching on the internet, I can only find information on how to embed Nintex from on a page using <ifames>. I have to use JS and CSS to hide ribbons/side navigation. Is there a better way to embed a Nintex from on a page (modern). Thank you!
