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!

Nintex Workflows Lazy Approval

Are Nintex Workflows dependent on the email domain matching for lazy approval. For instance, if a workflow is waiting on a reply from first.last@test.org can the user approve with first.last@new.test.org?

Nintex Responsive - Number Control No Comma

Newbie here... I've created a form with a Number control to capture Zip Code. On the SPO list, I have the column set as Number, no decimal places, and No "Use thousands separator". However, when I try to complete the form, the Number control connected to the Zip Code column on the list is still adding a comma and I cannot figure out how to get rid of this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Document generate: row/table/section

I am struggling to understand the difference between rows, tables and documents as described by the help docs: For Repeated format type, select the type of repetition you want. Row: Creates a new table row for each row in the corresponding workflow collection variable. Supports template types: .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx. Table: Creates a new table for the corresponding workflow collection variables. Supports template types: .docx and .pptx. Section: Creates a new section for the corresponding workflow collection variables. Supports template type: .docx only.  Does anyone have examples where these 3 different format types are used?Regards,Marc

Completing a Flexi-Task assigned in a different workflow

I have two site workflows.  Workflow 1 assigns a Flexi-task ("Task 1"), then waits for a month.  If Task 1 is already completed, the workflow completes.  If Task 1 is not already completed, it starts Workflow 2, which starts another Flexi-Task ("Task 2") asking the assignee for a status of Task 1.  If the assignee responds using Task 2 that the status is complete, Workflow 2 uses an Update Item action to change the status for Task 1 to "Complete" and the % Complete to "100%".  However, the outcome for Task 1 stays as "Pending" and Workflow 1 does not move forward.  Is there a better way to mark Task 1 as completed?  If not, how do I get Workflow 1 to move forward?

Genehmigung beantragen - Genehmiger ohne Aufgabenbenachrichtigung

Liebe Community, bei der Aktion "Genehmigung beantragen" gibt es die Möglichkeit unter Aufgabenbenachrichtigung für bestimmte Personen/Gruppen keine Benachrichtigung zuzustellen. Dies ist praktisch, wenn ich die Benachrichtigung nur an ein Gruppenpostfach verschicken möchte und die einzelnen Personen, die Zugriff auf das Postfach haben, keine Mail erhalten. Leider scheint es jedoch so zu sein, dass die Benachrichtigung, die dann verschickt wird, eine individuelle Genehmigungsaufgabe ist. Das bedeutet, dass Personen, die Zugriff auf das Postfach haben und versuchen über den in der Mail verschickten Link die Aufgabe zu genehmigen, dies nicht können.Habt ihr vielleicht eine Lösung?

Forms Label Line Spacing

Hi,I'm trying to perform a very simple formatting function in Nintex forms, and I can't for the life of me figure it out:Line spacing.Specifically, how do I take away that aggravating space that automatically appears before every line in a label? I found this "solved" issue:https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint-Forum/Line-Height-on-Label/td-p/13498But there are no instructions on how to actually use CSS in Nintex forms (Nintex help article only says that CSS can be used, and lists the properties available, not how to actually use CSS in Nintex).  I found the CSS class field mentioned in this article, but can't find the CSS rules section.  All I can find is a "Custom CSS" field in the form settings, but adding the suggested code there does nothing. Please help.  Even just a link to a resource on using CSS in Nintex would be great. Thanks,Matt

Newbie: Add a Link to the Document Folder

How do I add a clear description of the context item's location into a task notification? I am a Nintex newborn and have 0 background in IT. Apparently, since I know enough to try "turning it off and on" before calling IT, I have been voted the office IT genius in charge of creating workflows. I had never heard of SharePoint or Nintext until last month, it's been interesting. I have successfully fumbled through creating a functional workflow for a document approval process - (thank you State Machine and youtube tutorials) but I am stumped with some of the fine tuning I want within the notifications that are being sent out. Attempting to make a long explanation short - I have a site that contains sub-sites for 18 departments. They all submit various reports within their specific sites. I am using a template workflow that will send the reports through the approval process which I will import into each department site.  Since the reports can be added to any of the 6 folders within each of

Calculated Value based on conditions and adding days to date

Hi, I am very new to Nintex and trying to create a calculated value on my form to display a date based on a condition that is listed in the column personnel type then take the implementation date and add days depending on the result of the column, but cannot get it to work.  The column is blank by default until user selects an option from the drop down. Here is what I have so far, but when I try to view the form it comes up blank and won't display.  If I delete the calculated value field from the form then I am able to display the form so I know it is related to this calulated value not set up properly. =PersonnelType=='Key',formatDate(dateAddDays(DateTimetoImplementChanges,120, 'MM/dd/yyyy'), formatDate(dateAddDays(DateTimetoImplementChanges,365, 'MM/dd/yyyy') Thank you!

New Responsive Designer Date Control

The date control created in the New Responsive Designer doesn't allow the user to type in a date, they can only use the calendar control. We have a form that requires dates years back, so if the NRD is used, the user might have to click 120 times if the date required is 10 years ago. The controls in the other two designers allow it, is there any way to make it work in the NRD? Or will we have to recreate the form in one of the other designers? I couldn't find anything in the settings to change it.

Help with choice check/uncheck js

I have 4 different choice controls Network devices, Printers, AS, Internet Connections (showing as tabs) to show 4  panels with hide control rules. The idea is when a choice is selected to automatically uncheck the other 3 so we only have one panel showing at the time. Any help if someone had a similar scenario. Can't seem to get it to work.NWF$(document).ready(function(){var choice = NWF$("#" +Tab1);choice.change(function(){NWF$("#" + Tab2 ).prop("checked",false);NWF$("#" + Tab3 ).prop("checked",false);NWF$("#" + Tab4 ).prop("checked",false);} );} );

Creating Copies of a Nintex Form and Modifying a Field Based on Multiple Choice

Hoping someone can help because I seem to be a little out of my depth here; So for starters I have a form that is assigned to an area based off a dropdown. What I want to be able to do is have a "Multiple" option that lets you chose more than one and once the form is "submitted" will create a copy for each choice made in the Multiple section and set that field value to each one of the chosen areas. For example, I chose A, B, C, D in the Multiple section and submit; 4 copies get made with all same info as original except each is assigned to one of the choices; Form 1 is assigned to A, 2nd assigned to B, etc etc. I felt this would be done with a workflow. I know how to create a copy of a form and then assign a field a value but I do not know how to get this process to repeat x amount of times based on a number of choices made and how to loop it to procedurally go through the assignments in order and end loop once last one selected is assigned. I was thinking it had to do with storing the
