Hi everyone,I want  to learn Nintex K2. I have no prior knowledge of K2 or SharePoint.I have a few questions I hope the community can help me with:1. Is SharePoint knowledge required before learning K2, or can I go straight into K2 without it?2. What is the recommended learning path/roadmap for a complete K2 beginner? Specifically:   - Which Nintex University learning paths should I start with and in what order?   - Are there specific YouTube resources or playlists from the official Nintex channel that are worth following?   - Are there any other resources (docs, books, tutorials) that helped you when starting out?3. As a developer, are there any concepts or topics I should prioritize that are especially relevant to the technical/developer side of K2?4. What are the most common mistakes beginners make when starting with K2 that I should avoid?Any advice from people who have been through this journey would be very muc

Hello, trying to create a datasource for chatPT/OpenAiBut keep getting this error that api token is larger than 255 characters, but’s it’s 155  

Is it possible to extract the data for Process Improvements/Feedback (detail) report using the API? 

I need some assistance determining if we are Title II compliant with disabilities such as hearing impaired, etc. Is AssureSign capable of reading the document which we send to students?

We have a workflow need to capture an ID (from a USB connected scanner) while the user is interacting with a workflow form. Has anyone thought/tried to do this?

Got a Choice Control with 5 items with multiple option selection enabled.The last option in the list is Other, when the user ticks that box, I want it to make a textarea become visible underneath, A advanced rule works if you only pick the Other box and it shows/hides the textarea accordingly.However, if the user picks another item and the Other option, then it doesn;t work. With Multiple data type, i did a message and it shows the value as Option1;Option2 etc etc. So i assumed I could you advanced rule to say if Choice CONTAINS the Other value, but it won’t work. Why doesn’t the advanced condition work? The Choice control has two items picked, so you would think I could that in an advanced condition to say if it contains Other then do something. Any ideas?  

What was the thinking behind keeping the value entered in the Specify your own property - In the Choice List Control? By default the text entry is read only and greyed out (which is expected), but when you tick the Specify your own value, then enter something and Untick it afterwards, why does it retain the Value?  The natural action should be to empty the value when unticked, but as you can see, if keeps the value. There doesn’t even appear to be a way to clear the property via rules when unticked either.Come on Nintex, why all these basic bugs? This just hinders development.  I just seem to be spending days/weeks/months fighting K2 bugs than doing any development these days, I can see this leading to waving Goodbye to K2 in the near future despite all the time and effort invested.

Hi,Is there a quick way to check file attachments added by a user to form for duplicate names? Users occasionally add the same attachment which causes problems down the line, so I would like to deal with the issue before the K2 forum is sent.The users use a K2 form button to add attachments and they appear in a List view on the form.What is the best way to prevent them adding duplicates or sending the form if there is a duplicate document attached Thanks

Hello! I have quite a few complex pages and over 200 pages in all and I have been putting off upgrading from V1 to V2 because of it. I am now attempting the process.I decide to start with one of the complex pages to make sure I would be able to get it converted. I was able to work through all the issues except that all of my conditions that are “Field From Another Model” conditions are not working and I can’t get them to work. They still work fine in the V1 version, but V2 doesn’t seem to like them. If I deativate the field from another model condition, the model loads fine and gives me the results I would expect. But when I activate the field from another model condition, the model returns zero rows when it should return many rows.The target model that the field from another model condition is based on is performing as expected and loading the appropriate rows.I have been trouble shooting this for an hour and Field From Another Model just doesn’t seem to work o

Hello,I am using a NAC workflow to try and loop through a O365 SharePoint document library. I have a folder/subfolders setup like below:0256 (folder) > Intercompany (subfolder) > Month (subfolder)Note: I have January - December months setup under Intercompany I need to be able to run through these folders weekly and determine when the user uploaded the file(s) into the month folder and based off that date, delete the files 45 days after.I have the following workflow setup but it doesn’t seem to be looking into the “month” folders I have under intercompany (per my logs). It seems to be only getting what is within the top folder… Please help! 

Hi, Could you please advise whether a workflow can be automatically actioned using a basic task form when data is inserted into the SQL database, with minimal manual interaction?The intent is to manage and action tasks directly through the Workspace, without developing a custom form.We would appreciate confirmation on whether this approach is supported within the existing workflow capabilities.Thank you for your support.
