Recently, all our salesforce connector action buttons utilising autoluanched FLOWs have stopped working when the page first loads.When the button is clicked, the console error shows this.  You have to click on the button again for it to action correctly.core_all.js:2 TypeError: this.dataSourceType.getActions(...).then(...).finally is not a function    at DataSource.getActions (skuidReqs.js:2:488207)    at DataSourceType.runAction (skuidReqs.js:2:508996)    at DataSource.runAction (skuidReqs.js:2:490354)    at skuidReqs.js:2:376659    at async Action.run (skuidReqs.js:2:429459)

I have a responsive form from which I am generating a PDF from a template. That’s working fine but because the PDF that is generated is both internal and customer facing, I’d like to be able to display a multi-choice checkbox lookup field as those checkboxes (along with the options selected) instead of returning the submitted information in a string. Is this possible? Or if I’m overthinking and there’s a better way to do this, I’m all ears. I did find the same question here but the images aren’t available & I’m struggling to wrap my head around it.As a part 2 to this question, I’m finding that anytime I make a change to the template, I’m having to retag every single field and not just the one that changed. Is this expected behavior?

Hi, I’m using Nintex Automation Workflow cloud and noticed that my admin account is applied to the “modified by” column. I am assuming every time the workflow runs through an action like “update item” it applies my admin acct name. Am I understanding this correctly?I was asked why I was modifying the item in sharepoint and I’m not, my thought to this was that every time the workflow ran through an action that, that happened. Can someone explain?

All,Looking for some basic help here.I have a separate repeating section which will gather 5 separate pieces of DATA for each specific attachment added to an attachment field within a group on the Nintex workflow form.Can I then grab and assign that data to each attachment and write it all to a Library in SharePoint?In effect if I have 3 attachments, ROW 1 data will be for file1, Row2 for file 2 and Row 3 for file 3.  But I haven’t a clue how to do this in a Lop for each in the workflow.

I’ve seen with a recent update the I can Copy the data from a Repeating Section down from the start form and into a task, and the data is editable. This is great for our workflows, but I’ve run into an issue in getting the data to copy between two tasks.We have two tasks(A and B) after the Start Form in a Branch by Stage action. The Initial/Default Branch flows to task A, that has two options Complete or Send to the Other Brach that has Task B when they click submit. Task B on the Other Branch, has the exact same options so information can flow between A and B until A is satisfied and they choose to Exit and end the workflow.The issue with the Repeating Section that I'm having is that the data in that only seems to flow one way. Task A can receive the data from the Start form and Task B can receive it from A, but if B sends back to A, A still uses the Start Form’s data.I got around this with all the other variables by writing them into a workflow variables after the Start Form and maki

I have a start d/t and an end d/t fields on my NWC form. I would like to show a message to the user if their end date is = or < the start time. “is not” , “not equal”, or “equal” conditions are not available when comparing d/t fields in this version for forms. That seems odd to me Nintex wouldn’t make those options available.  The only way I can think of is to convert the d/t fields to strings in a variable. There are many more conditions available when comparing text strings. My VAR’s are setup the same  Just so I can see if the VAR’s are correctly populated, I’m displaying the values in the fields immediately below the d/t fields, for demo. But it’s not converting the strings in the same format. If they are not in the same format, I can’t compare them in rules.   Both of the fields are configured the exact same way in the Form and in Sharepoint 

I would like to use an Excel file containing a list of products in a data lookup control to select the part.I know how to do it from an Microsoft List.To avoid having to manually convert my Excel file into a Microsoft list, can I do it directly from an Excel file that is in my SharePoint online?orCan I automate the upload of the content of the Excel file into a microsoft list or into a table? 

I was recently doing tests which required passing some potentially long text strings between workflows. I had always worked under the assumption that the limitations of the Nintex Workflow variable type of Single line of text had a limitation of 255 characters: However, in testing this myself, discovered that there seems to be no real limit to what they can hold here is a input var in my workflow: Resulting contents of input_secretMessage once the workflow is ran with some absurd associated Data:I was unable to take a screenshot of the entire dataset, but it’s just over 7,800 Characters!My question is: Is there actually supposed to be a limit on these workflow variables or are any of the limits noted strictly regarding what SharePoint is able to consume as a Single Line of Text for one of its columns? 

I have a list of PDF which has a certain naming convention. In the naming convention is the ID number that relate to that PDF. I would like to create a folder using the ID number then put the PDF within it. Please advise,

Hello!I've been working with Laketree Dynamic Grid for a few months, and it has been working well both functionally and visually. However, today I logged in, and it’s not working anymore. I tried adding it again, but I get the following error: Does anyone know what might be happening or if there’s a similar alternative?https://gallery.nintex.com/t/LakeTree-Dynamic-Grid-pluginThank you very much!

Hi,I am using Nintex K2 Cloud.I have configured a Smartobject that takes 3 inputs and added it as one of the available Smartobjects on the Smartobject OData api page.The Smartobject uses a SQL server stored procedure to save data to a table. It has 3 parameters JSON nvarchar(max), filename nvarchar(200) and base64file nvarchar(max).The nvarchar(max) fields are configured as Memo in the smart object. The base64file value is a file that has been base 64 encoded.When testing the OData endpoint from postman it works perfectly when I use an encoded 400kb file, but I get an error when using an 840kb file : {    "error": {        "code": "",        "message": "Error reading HTTP body."    }}The 840kb file is 1.1mb when it is base 64 encoded.I suspect that there is a post size limit configured for the K2 OData implementation but I can find no documentation as to what that might be. From what I can find on the internet I can see that OData services typically have a limit of somewhere between 2

I’m migrating workflows to the Automation Cloud, and no matter if I build the table in HTML or the WYSIWIG editor, Nintex constantly messes with the formatting.  It will move whole rows to the top of the table.  The screen shot below is how the table in the email should look.But if I have to go back into the workflow to make an edit for any reason - not even to the Send Email action this happens:The divider rows get converted to header rows - even if I toggle that setting off or call it out as <td> instead of <th> - and then get moved to the top.This defeats their purpose, which is to break up and organize the data.It makes quick edits painstaking.  I don’t need a “smart” editor that actually gets it wrong every time it tries to override my actions.If someone from Nintex could PLEASE tell me how to get around this or give us the option to shut it off, I’d be most appreciative. I build for 10+ teams and own waaay too many workflows for troubleshooting to be this time-consumi

We’d like to ask everyone in the community to please go vote for the following idea:Workflow Production Publishing & Default Assigned Use | Nintex Ideas Our company is struggling with security and restricting users from publishing their own personal workflows in NAC. We continue to have issues even though we built a separate process around the OOB “Publish Request” component that comes with NAC.Currently, the only way we are able to allow users to publish workflows in NAC if they are not an admin (while still limiting this to not all developers/designers) is putting them in a group: By doing this however, our headache is how the system is designed. When a user not in this group who does not have rights to publish on their own pushes the “Request publish” button when a workflow is set to production the system will auto assign the group specified in these settings as the “workflow owner” as well over the workflow. Because of this, all the users we gave permissions to publish, now hav

Is there a way of adding the details of fields that have changed to a notification.  I know that I can set a workflow to run when specific fields details change, but was wondering if it’s possible to show in the notification what the previous value was and what it’s been changed to. FYI, I’m using on-premis version of SharePoint 2019.

Does anyone know what the autocomplete option in the escalation section of a task form does? Does it autocomplete the task to move the workflow forward, if the assigned person doesnt complete it? 

I have two calendars on SharePoint 2019 on-premise and having issues with my nintex workflow:Calendar A - has all events Calendar B - should hold events that require VTCIntent is to copy all events from calendar A that requires VTC (based on a choice field not being empty) to Calendar B. I did create a variable (yes/no) for the “All Day Meeting” “Recurrence” fields.I have used query list and also setting variables for all my fields (choice, yes/no, date, etc.) and workflow continues to error.Any insight on how I can duplicate an event from one calendar to another for both recurring and non-recurring events?

Hello!I am trying to pull all attachments from a sharepoint list using the “Get item attachment by name” control. Now, my question is… will nintex be able to connect to a url as such to connect to the list? https://companyname-my.sharepoint.com/personal/joe_smith_company_com/Lists/Equipment%20tracker/AllItems.aspx I notice this list is located under a users personal location… now, they gave my admin acct access but I am not able to connect to that list. 

For SP/Nintex 2016 on prem, in a form, what is the rule formula to ensure attachments are added IF a certain field (which is named and inside a panel) is not null.  In other words, If the user enters data into a field (single line of text), Attachments are required.  Otherwise Attachments are not required.  I created a rule on the SUBMIT button to Invalidate with the following formula but it’s not working as desired.and(not(isNullOrEmpty({namedControl})), isNullOrEmpty({ItemProperty:Attachments})
