Differentiate Nintex Form submission vs Nintex Live form submission

Hello there!!We are using Nintex on SharePoint 2013. We have a requirement on a list where the LIVE form is enabled - if the form is submitted internally i.e., from the standard SP list Nintex - new item url (not from the LIVE url.) we will have to make some updates to other fields of the list.I'm wondering does Nintex already has any feature to differentiate the List item which is submitted via live form url vs the internal SharePoint list. Thanks!

Filter all documents in a SharePoint library by a criteria and move them to a different library

I want to filter all of the documents in a library that have the same identifier (CAPEX number) and move them to a different library using a Nintex workflow.I would like to make a start form for the workflow where I can enter the CAPEX number associated with the documents, gather all those documents with the same number and move them to a library called archive.  I tried to do Vadim Tabakman's solution but it just doesn't work for me.

Get Access to the second element in a collection Index does not work

But If I want use this I get an error message. The Index with 0 works.   Is it a bug? Would be a regex an alternative for that? E.g. remove the first string up to the ;   Who would this work?   Best regards   Matthias

Web request stays in "Executing"

As the title says, I am trying to execute a Web Request to Authenticate to a web. I was working and suddenly one day, witht he same parameters, when we try the "Run Now" feature, it just stays as "Executing".  It does not show any error and does not stop at any time (I have left it running for an hour). It was something that was finished in some seconds. Its a post web request, and it is correct since trying the same request with Postman works perfectly. Any idea on what could be happening? Thank you in advance.

How do I extract data from a repeating section in nintex workflow

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with an issue I have with repeating sections.I don't know how to work around extracting data from this type of section.Whenever I do try to extract data, this message appears: " Error processing XML. Expression must evaluate to a node-set."Also, am I limited to extracting XML data from repeated sections by using XPath?LinkApart from this, can someone also clarify the difference of repeating sections to repeating values?

Task for Group of People, but every individual response needs to update a separate field

Dear all,first off: thanks for this forum. I'm relatively new in Nintex and this is a treasure trove for most everything I need 🙂However, I'm now at a point where I cannot google my way out of the problem. General Setup:I'm building a change request process using a state machine, where several project members have to review a change request and - if the request concerns their area of work - need to enter a solution description and effort estimate. Every 'workstream' has its own field (e.g. Workstream 1 - Solution Description, Workstream 1 - Workstream Status, Workstream 2 - Solution Description, Workstream 2 - Workstream Status, etc.). Problem:I want to send a task to every project member that will ask them to make a decision:a) Either they aren't impacted by the change request -> then they have to click on "Not impacted" in the task; this should set THEIR workstream status to "Not impacted", but not touch all the other workstreamsb) OR they are impacted by the change request ->

Calculated value for max date

Hi, in my repeating section, I have date and amount. Because I can't connect fields in repeating section to a column to extract data, I am doing a calculated value outside of the repeating section to get the total of the amount. However, how can I extract the latest date using calculated value? Whats the formula? I tried using max and it gives me a series of number instead of mmddyyyy. Please note that my date field is a single line text box, I can't use a date field for date because calculated value can't be connected to a date field. This is my workaround to extract data from the repeating section.Thanks

Query Azure SQL from Nintex Workflow 2013

Hi everyone I was wondering if it's possible to connect to an Azure SQL database from a Nintex Workflow running on Sharepoint 2013 on premise. I have multiple workflows where I connect to an on premise MS SQL server, but cannot get this to work wit Azure SQL. I've tried using many different connection strings, but keep getting "Unexpected SQL error occured". I know that the account I use has access to the database, so there might be other issues like firewall settings. However, before I go changing anything to the firewall, can anyone tell me if it is even possible to to connect to Azure SQL from Nintex 2013?

List nintex workflow to save documents added into a library OR use nintex form in SharePoint library

I am semi familiar with how SP works. Bear with me. Please note, I am not allowed to use SharePoint Designer. 1 - Can I create a workflow on my list to automatically SAVE any documents and data to another library with the exact columns? OR2 - Can I create a library with a button that says "Add Request & Supporting Documentation" and have it open in Nintex form view? I see there is a Nintex form option in my library but need help configuring this.

Publishing a Wiki Page using a Site Workflow

I have a site workflow that updates an item in a list, then I want it to publish a specific wiki page in a library on the same site.  If I was using a list workflow, I could use the Set Approval Status action, but this action is not available in site workflows.  Is there a way to publish the wiki page that doesn't require credentials?  I'm trying to avoid the Call Web Service action because the password for any credentials I supply will expire, causing the workflow to error. I tried using the Update Item and Update Multiple Items actions, but these don't allow updating the Approval Status field for the wiki page.

Form Designer SharePoint 2019 hangs on "Please wait"

Fairly complex form with many rules, fields, panels, controls.  Went to launch form designer after doing a save and close, and now it hangs on Please Wait message.  Checked with multiple browsers, rebooted, etc.  Simpler forms on same site still editable in design tool.  The complex form still runs with last published version. Thoughts on methods to trouble shoot?  I am not an admin, but can engage admin easily. Thanks!

Form SLT default (editable) value pulled from another field

Hi all,   I am trying to pull a string that was input into a text field in my Nintex form, directly into another SLT editable field. To give context, An 8 digit number is input as a string in one field, and this number is the first 8 digits required for a longer string - so I am trying to pull those first 8 directly into the second field to minimize user effort. I am using the Classic Form version.   I am assuming this will be achievable with some JS if anybody has any skeleton code they can share?   Thanks

Workflow not starting or getting error in execution

I currently have flows in Nintex that run when the list item is created. Once the item is created in the list, two things happen:   1 That it tries to start the flow, but does not execute any action and gets the following error:   [Flow Name] failed to start.   2 The flow starts, the tasks are created for the users but at the moment the first task is approved, the flow produces the following error:   The [Flow Name] workflow was canceled by System Account.

How to set a multi line text box based on drop down (when in use)

All,On my form (Nintex 2013)I have a list lookup control connected to a separate list within my site.This list has 2 columns: title and description. The list lookup shows the title values.I have a multi line text box.If a value is selected from the list lookup control how can the multi line text box be populated with the description field data and still be editable?If list lookup control value is not selected the multi line text box will still be used, just not prepopulated. I'm wanting to do this without a workflow as the end users will select a value from the lookup list and then want to start writing in the multi line text box.ThanksAndrew
