Hello,I get the following error The specified value is unknown. [Error Code: TypeCasting.UnknownCasting] when calling a xtension which should return an ics file.The xtension is a .net core api and nintex does recognize the specified result type as file.The responses part of the definitions looks like this:"responses": {               "200": {                  "description": "OK",                  "schema": {                     "type": "object",                     "properties": {                        "file": {                           "type": "string",                           "format": "byte"                        }                     }                  }               }            }I tried it according to OpenAPI Specification quick reference and Download base64 files but they differ on the properties part “file” <> “content”. But both ways dont work.But when calling the xtension i get this error.Is there anything, that I am missing?Thank you in advance!Niklas

On one of my Nintex forms I want users to enter a series of (variable number) of event dates and other data related to those events in a repeated section. I would like to have users enter the rows in chronological order on the date field, from earliest date to the latest date. I know that normally you can just compare dates like they’re numbers and dates further in the future are treated as greater than dates less far in the future or in the past, but I’m having trouble getting the rule right so that it compares to the control element on the previous row (if present).Like I want date(row N) > date(row N-1) for N>1This is for Sharepoint on Prem 2019.I have tried forcing it on the last row with a validation rule:and(equals(currentRowNumber(dateField),rows(dateField)),lessThan((dateField),max(dateField)))then invalidate, but it doesn’t seem to work, the rule inside only takes the field on the current row, it doesn’t look at other rows. I have also looked at sorting it in workflow, b

I have a data table set up with two columns:Column 1: Name Column 2: Email AddressThe intent is for the user to select a name in the start form, which auto-populates the email in another action within the same form. The selected information can then be used in multiple forms throughout the workflow.  However, I am only able to make the employee email visible with a label action.  I am unable to use the information within the label action in subsequent forms within the workflow.  Can the selected table information be used as a variable within a text-short action?Is there a way to use the table information selected in a start form in multiple forms within a workflow?See the example workflow below, which hopefully explains my situation. https://deepwater-376274.workflowcloud.com/forms/710c5e97-cbcc-4777-9837-3d06bbb0498a

I am attempting to set a form variable using JavaScript. When the form loads there is an error in the developer tools console log that one of the variables is not defined.  NWF$(document).ready(function () { NWF$('#' + varRequestorManager).click(function () { NWF.FormFiller.SetValue("MyRequestorFormVariable","New Value"); var val = NWF.FormFiller.GetValue("MyRequestorFormVariable"); console.log("Form Variable Updated" + val); });}); 

Hellowe have observed very strange behavior with some users. When downloading a PDF document, the downloaded file is not shown in the downloads folder.Only PDFs aren't being downloaded; other file types work fine. The server response has status 200; I see the request in Chrome Developer Tools, which confirms that the server successfully responds to the request. However, the PDF file still doesn't appear in the downloads folder. Other file types, like Word documents, for example, work fine in Chrome. Downloads work for all file types in Edge. For some users, it is a temporary problem and resolves itself after some time, but may appear again, it comes and goes. Problem appears only on K2 Sites.We weren't able to find out what is causing this behavior we fix it by renaming the user profile, Backup Bookmarks (take note of plugins) Close Chrome Rename C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data - BackUp Restart Chrom

Hello!Is it possible to prevent users from entering in characters such as “~” or “\” or “/” in a text field? I see that you can use a regular expression but am having a bit of a tough time getting this specifically… I do need to be able to allow the “$” to the field though... Thanks in advance!  

Hello Can you please help Create an Insight Workspace for our tenant. 

I created a workflow from a form; however, for future reference, I would like to store the completed form in a folder on SharePoint. I couldn't find a way to do this in Nintex Automation Cloud. Is this possible?

Hi, I have a question on getting two workflows to work together to get a notification email out to a customer.  The first workflow is where I’ve built a form inside the workflow.  It works as expected and upon submission creates a new record in the list.  Because the form is built inside the workflow and I don’t get the ID until the workflow ends preventing being able to reference that specific record ID in a notification email that was created in that first workflow.  What I decided to do is have created a second workflow that runs when it sees a new record on that list and in this second workflow, I get the ID as expected as the new record ID is seen then on the list   I need the ID so I can send in a notification email in this second workflow a link to that record customers can just click onto to get to that newly submitted record read only.  The Second workflow starts as expected and in instance ‘steps’ I can see the ID as expected but this second workflow appears to hang with this

My script to scrapes web data from tables is unable to target and tables in Edge. The problem started on Aug 7, 2025. The only thing I noticed is that Edge updated that day to Microsoft Edge-Stable Channel Version 139 Update for x64 based Editions (Build 139.0.3405.86). Whenever I try and target a cell in a table, I get the message “The webpage at… cannot be targeted. Please navigate to another webpage and try again.

​@EttienneS Hi, your name came up n K2 for VS 2015 package.  😁If VS 2019 can load the K2 designer extension, the deployment functionality could work?VS 2015 / 2017 / 2019 are highly compatible for extensions. Seems it just needs to change a few references to point to VS 2019 path/registry.https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/change K2 for Visual Studio 2015.xml:Reference 2019 name <AllowedDependency Type="Application" Name="Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019" MatchType="EqualTo" /> Path set to Microsoft Visual Studio 16.0SourceCode.VisualStudio(2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.SourceCode.Workflow.VisualStudio (2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.If anyone tried this and didn’t work, chime in.   Thanks.

Hi all   I am new to nintex workflow cloud. I would like to use values from a specific google sheet to populate a dropdown.  I use the data lookup control but when using google sheet connector I can only look up the list of sheets in the google drive rather than the content inside the sheets.   Is there any way I can achieve this?   Thanks.

Our Nintex scripts are failing to interact with Chrome today. The thing I noticed is that it works fine on bot machines where the Chrome version hasn’t been updated. I tested and watched one bot successfully interact with Chrome on version 138.0.7204.184, but then immediately fail to locate any Chrome elements once updated to 139.0.7258.67. Is anyone else noticing this issue?

My colleague has been having issues with submitting a process for approvals. She has been getting error messages like “Bad Request” or “Contact Nintex support or ProMaster’. She has tried everything and still the issue exists. Can anyone help with this?Kind Regards,

Is it possible to access process maps in Process Manager from Microsoft Copilot. The use case would be for a team to ask a question of Copilot, and the answer is provided by a process map. We would answer with a link to the process map.Our backup plan is to export the process maps to PDFs which is manual and could become outdated. Thanks

I have a Process  that needs to be archived and it has some Risk Treatment dependencies.From what I've read, I need to remove the Risk Treatment dependencies, submit the changes for approval and then I can archive once approved?

Hey all,I have a table in SFX (Edinburgh Update 3 (16.4.5.0) V2) with a drawer on the rows. The drawer contains a calendar component with a number of sources. The before load action on the drawer sets and query’s all the models used as sources and then opens the drawer. In the console I can see that all the data query’s and loads correctly, however the calendar component simply doesn't render. the drawer icon turns and I get a little sliver of space where the drawer should be, but no calendar. Any help would be great, thanks!
