Look into a MultiLine of Text variable and store a specific value into a string - how to?

Hello I have a scenario where a Web Request is made to get an AccessToken.The result is then stored into a [variable] named StoreResult as a [Multiline of Text]. The result is pretty long and amongst the lines, there is this I am interested at:{"access_token":"QS27hDdFvfqTPSFElG0vH8Y0h7Eu9Gjt",  How would I be able to extract only the access token value?From my understanding, I need to convert the Multiline of Text into a Collection value?Then use the collection to extrat the data?May sound good in theory but stuck in practially 😞Please advise...

Name of the user is automatically defined without input and also may not be changed

Hello Community, we have a request that in a form with a field Responsible the name of the user is automatically defined without input and also may not be changed. A Person or Group field was created on the list and in the Nintex form Current User was entered as the default value. Under Appearance No was selected for Enabled so that the value cannot be changed (attached a screenshot). Problem: when a new entry is created then you can see the name of the user in the field and not change it, so as wanted. But when saving the form no entry is made in this field. It is just empty in the list although the field itself is set to require a value. By saving the form there is no error message. Is this a bug or wrong setting?

Calculate a Project's Total Time

I am working in a Nintex O365 Responsive Form. I want to calculate the Total Time for Project based on the Time Spent Per Task. The calculations for Time Spent Per Task are in a repeating section. I have a calculated value control for Time Spent Per Task. The formula is Minutes/60 + Hours. How can I get a grand total for all the Time Spent Per Task entries to appear in the Total Time for Project control? Thank you.

Component Workflow - Retroactive update

Hello Community, I am implementing Document Management (approval, reviewal, archival) feature in our 0365 environment and as per plan, the main business logic should go in the Component Workflow. Now, once published any update to that workflow (by deleting and publishing a new .nwp file) will break the calling workflows (list/library workflows). To fix this I have to open the calling workflow (library wf) and select the component workflow again and re-publish the calling workflow.Now my question is, how to retroactively update and publish the Component workflow, without having to go and republish calling workflows? *all of this publishing is what I am doing programmatically, through CSOM PowerShell code. Thanks

Nintex forms webservice error

I was playing around with the nintex forms webservice yesterday and encountering some error. I am using the "web request" action to call the web service but it returns an error "Request failed with status: Method Not Allowed.". The same error occurs when I use "Call web service". Is the web service not useable on nintex workflow functions? I haven't tried the powershell and .net approach yet as we want to keep everything in the nintex environment.here's a link to the forms web service

SharePoint 2016: Web Request - Item URL does not work

I am in SharePoint 2016. I created a Nintex library workflow.  I placed a web request control. In the URL, I choose Item Url and entered my username and pwd. I am the site collection admin. My idea is to connect to the library.   URL* (common:ItemUrl) Username: mshyam Password: ******   When I test the connection, I get Invalid URL format   What should I type in the Url.   Thanks so much!

I submitted a Help type of post last month, and got a message that it was marked as spam. Looks like others have the same complaint. WHY?

Date validation issue

Ok, I'm trying to setup a date validation to prevent someone from forward dating the control.  Essentially the value must be less than or equal to the current date.  I've setup a date control and set to Date only.  It is connected to a date column in the list.  I then created the following rule on the control:The rule works, but for some reason I cannot put in today's date in my control.  It for some reason invalidates the control thus preventing me from saving it.  This validation needs to be in place whether or not form is new or edit mode.  Am I missing something?

External Users Cannot Edit After Migration to 2019 (Possibly a Bug?)

I've got an issue with responsive forms. My external users cannot edit and save forms after migration to SP2019 On Prem. I have an external test account that I am using to troubleshoot this. When I add that test account directly to the root site with full control it works fine. But adding all my external users with full control is obviously not a good solution. Is this a bug with Nintex?

Currency format on Edit Form not using regional format

Hi,I'm using a Single line Textbox for a currency field in a classic nintex form, which works well on the New Form.My regional settings (fr-CH) on the SharePoint site are used to verify my field (fr-CH uses "." as delimiter)However, when opening an Edit Form, the field converts the "." into "," and when I try to save, the form validation of the field wields an error, saying the format is not correct.How can I change the format used in the Edit Form?Thank you in advance for your response.Luzi

How to parse xml from a nested repeating section

Hi I've been trying different ways to parse xml from a repeating section that is within a repeating section but I've hit a wall.

Relating columns based on choice not sure if I'm wording this correctly.

I made a Job application form, each applicant applies to a vacancy ID and each Vacancy ID is supposed to be attached to a manager. So when the notification goes out its supposed to alert the manager, but I cant figure out how to make them connect. ex one list is the application where there is a lookup column for the vacancy ID and I have a vacancy ID list that has the manager column and the Vacancy ID column. when they choose a vacancy ID on the application, I would like the manger to be notified wtihin the workflow notification that John Doe has applied to your vacancy.

How do I separate multiple items in a single line text held in a collection?

I have a single line textbox that has location codes separated by ;My form uses a list lookup that connects to this single line text field to hold all location codes selected. I placed it in the a collection using a regular expression by using the split method and placing in the collection. When I use the for each to log history, it only does it once and shows all the location codes instead of on a separate line.Am I separating this right? How do I call on the collection to grab these individually?Example in collection - "12;11;14;2011"

Nintex Live Forms will not publish after updating to 2.12.0.0

The issue we are seeing is identical to the one discussed here.The problem is the listed resolution to that issue is to upgrade to version 2.11.2.2 or later and we are having the issue show up after already updating to version 2.12.0.0 (latest version). We updated to V2.12.0.0 yesterday as an initial attempt to fix what we now know was a TLS issue on the servers. Nintex Live had stopped polling for new form submissions a week or so ago and the heath status of the service gave errors with our connection to Nintex Live endpoints. After updating the servers to TLS 1.2 all services are green and giving the "all good" status. However, now we are running into the issue above of Nintex Live Forms failing to publish and Nintex Form data is still nnot not finding their way into the SharePoint lists. This is a farm wide issue, and we have already done a number of things like bouncing IIS, and disabling and enabling the Nintex Live Service in CA. The only error message we can find in the logs rel

Scheduled Workflow Office 365

Hi Everyone, I know that scheduling workflows in O365 is new but I have this problem that when I run my site workflow manually it runs smoothly but when I scheduled it, it doesn't run. I tried to schedule other workflows and they run with no errors. Is there a way I can see the status of a site workflow? Thanks

Set item permissions based on multiple centers selected in a column

I am trying to create a new user form and users will select the location number the new user will need access to. Depending on the location, it queries a list and gets the AD group and assigns the permissions to the item. The problem I am running into, is if multiple selections are selected, it doesnt even set the permissions for the AD group, it will skip over them. Even if I do a collection, it does not collect multiple locations, the collection will be blank.    Example - Center(Single-Column) - 01;#03;#04   Each of the location numbers will have difference AD group. So I need to query each of them and get the data group.   Can someone point me in the right direction with this?

Is there a way to publish workflow to a content type using the webservice

Our current projects requires us to deploy a workflow to more than 50 site collections each with 20+ libraries so we are currently exploring automated deployment using the webservice. One of the ideas was to someone deploy a site collection reusable workflow to a content type and reuse that content type. Reading through the webservice, I cant find any methods that let's us publish the workflow directly to a content type. Is there a workaround for this?

Automating Deployment

Hi All,I had a quick scour of the forums for this and I didn't find anything obvious, maybe I'm looking for the wrong terms. Anyway, in my current contract, our client has always used Powershell to automate the deployment of Nintex assets. This worked for us as our sites follow a framework so certain workflows are always deployed to all sites. This would be tiresome to do manually.Anyway, whilst Powershell is great, it's also a skill that someone has to possess in order for it to be used/maintained.So when I was studying the workflow.asmx service, and noticed the options for publishing workflows, I thought I'd run a little side project to see if I could simplify the process of automated deployment of workflows and it works, it's also quite simple.I have a list, a library and workflow.The developer uploads their workflow.nwf file to the library, fills in a form that has a few parameters required for deployment, and away it goes. I used a web service to get all the webs in our site colle
