Nintex list, WorkflowTasks, has many old items. I need a script that will delete older items from this list and bypass the recycle bin. I have a script that performs this action on NintexWorkflowHistory list and can’t figure out how to modify it for WorkflowTasks. I’m hoping someone has already created a script specific to deleting select items from the WorkflowTasks list.The URL is https://MyDomain/sites/MySite/WorkflowTasksAfter items are deleted from the list, I need SQL to purge them from the database.SharePoint Server 2019 (hosted on prem)

How do I get an excel document to wrap text when creating docgen package?

Hi,  There are four ‘groups’ ( sections ) on my form.  I am using the URL line to tell the form based on URL parameter(s) which form group(s) to show or hide.  Looking at the URL and the form that opens, the form is parsing correctly, and form rules pick up the parameter seen here and show only the section(s) I want opened when the form opens.   That’s the ‘=Yes’ you see here.The form properly is doing just that and one or many groups are hidden. Here is how the field is defined:   The field in the list though shows ‘No’ - should be ‘Yes’. Yet, The Forms rules are doing fine to properly open / close groups. My workflow though, in a ‘Branch by condition’ step is seeing what is coming over from the list for that checkbox-ApplicationOnly as ‘No’ and goes down the ‘No’ path. 

It appears client side logic cannot be included in filter grouping logic. Filter grouping logic appears to only affect server filters. For example if you have two client side filters (1 & 2) and then a server side filter, your grouping logic can only reference the server filter and the server filters is actually referenced as filter 1, not 3, because filter grouping logic appears to ignore client-side filters. It also appears that client-side filter grouping logic defaults to an AND between each one and there is no way to add custom client-side logic for an OR.If my understanding of the above is true, I would like to ask for a feature request to add a client-side filter logic field so we can write custom logic on client side filters, like we do for server-side. It would also be nice to provide the user some idea on how the filter numbers relate to the logic. I don’t find it intuitive that filter #3 is actually server filter #1 in my example above.Posting In Ideas

I don’t know if anyone who has used the K2 Menu System (https://community.nintex.com/archive-25/k2-menu-system-9347) on 5.7 in this regard encoutered...I did notice it since I upgraded today from 5.6 to 5.7 when I checked the console log.All and all, my investigation took me to this page…Has anyone encountered this issue, and if yes, what was your workaround?

I have a simple Nintex Workflow Cloud form which displays follow up questions based on choice fields selected.Example:Choose your Company size.20-50 50-100 >100If a user selects “A”, my form should display, follow up questions associated with this selection. However, if the user let us say, decides to change his selection to B, the follow up rules which should refresh and display questions pertinent to choice B, do not refresh (follow up question do not change to reflect the new selection). Very annoying and irritating to some users. Any idea or recommendation is much appreciated.

We have a list in SharePoint Online, which uses Nintex Forms 365. A workflow has been created in Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC) which is triggered upon creation of new list items. While there is usually minimal lag to trigger the workflow, in some instances it takes 7-10 minutes (or more), just to trigger the workflow, let alone process the workflow logic. To be clear, we are comparing the 'Created' SharePoint timestamp with the 'Instance Start Time' in NWC. Customers are not particularly impressed, especially considering that we didn't see such lag with Nintex365 workflows.Could you please advise the possible reasons for the delay, and how we can mitigate this from occurring. Thanks.

I have not seen a post on this topic in the Nintex Automation Cloud forum yet. How do I get all task approver comments written back to the list item? Is there a tutorial somewhere I can follow? I have successfully done this in NAC in other workflows where there is only one approver using the “First Response” object, but I have multiple people approving tasks in a new workflow. How can I get all of the info written back to the list item? I’m assuming I’ll have to do something with a collection variable to utilize the “Task responses” collection, as shown below, but I’m unsure of how to execute this logic to achieve what I’m looking for.  Could someone please outline the logic steps if this is possible?  I’d like to use this format: (Outcome) Task Responder - Current date and time - Comments 

Hi all, I’m creating a form which requires a feature to export a list view to an email.The view will be filtered to not show existing records on the table - only what the user has entered in the current session. This is the only info required on the email. The form will be used mostly on handheld devices, so exporting to Excel and manually emailing is not an option.Open to any suggestions. Many thanks in advance,Jordan

Hi I have two questions here in regarding workflow backup and restoration.1. If a workflow is deleted by the workflow owner, is there any way to restore it? Or is workflow restoration a feature planned for future Nintex updates? 2. Since Nintex doesn't seem to support exporting workflows as physical files, what is the recommended approach for backing them up?Thanks

Hello, How I can build expense report with more than 8 roles of  authority based on the total requested by customer,examplerole 1: 1000role 2: 5000role3: 6000I want if the customer raised a total is 4500 to go direct to role 2 How I can put a role to check if the total in greater than 1000 and less than 5000 go to role 2 for approval

Hi,We’re facing an issue where a form is completed to hire a candidate and the initiator enters the candidate’s email address which is then used later in the workflow to ‘assign a task’. Sometimes, these email address are misspelt and nobody realises that the candidate did not receive the task at all until a week or two later it is escalated back to the initiator.Is there a way to track or alert to any bounced emails in Nintex by which this could be prevented?Thanks!

Hello,when I use the “Query a list” action in NAC to get a list item from SharePoint, the column with multiple users only returns the ids of the users. Is there a way to get the name of the user by using the ids? I could not find an action to achive this. Is there maybe a different way to get all the names from the column?Thank you and best regardsNiklas

I have a complex workflow that updates a Nintex group to match the membership of a corresponding AD group. It works most of the time, but it runs many steps and for 1 specific group, the workflow terminates, probably because it reaches some limit. I was wondering if you can take a look and see if you can help me optimize this workflow so it won’t run into these problems. Here is my workflow:The inputs are the Name of AD Group & the Name of Nintex Group (which are often the same). Action 1 - Get all the members of the AD group.Action 2 - Get all the Nintex Groups in the tenant (because I don’t yet know a method to get a Nintex Group by name without looping through all the groups).Action 3 - Get all the Nintex users in the tenant (because I don’t yet know a method to get a Nintex user by name without looping through all the users).Action 4 - Loop through each Nintex Group.Action 5 - If one Nintex Group name matches the group name we want, then run this next step:Action 6 - Loop throu

Is this an oversight when releasing this feature? Button (nintex.com) I do not see anywhere in the help documentation where in states the button control is ONLY for start event forms. Our assumption was it’s for form designer for tasks or start events. Can someone look into this???? Form Designer for Start event forms: Form designer for Task forms: 

Is there a feature on the roadmap (e.g., under Workflow settings > Workflow publishing) that would allow specific roles or groups to have permission to delete a workflow?Background: In our current support structure, workflow stewardship falls on citizen developers and workflow owners within the business. They proactively manage day-to-day troubleshooting, receive failure alerts, and escalate issues to IT if necessary. Currently, users with workflow owner permissions can delete workflows. However, until Nintex introduces a proper backup and restore feature, we cannot fully hand over management of our 400+ workflows to the business side. The risk of accidental deletion or, in the worst-case scenario, a compromised account resulting in malicious deletion, makes it critical to restrict the ability to delete workflows to certain user groups. This feature would be extremely beneficial.Any idea from best practise point-of-view is welcome :)

Is there a feature that enables alert on instance failure to form initiator?

I have multiple workflows that are erroring with “failed to start” or “failed to run”. I want to know how to write a SQL query to find all of them.

I am attempting to change the instance name to reflect variables in the start form using the 'Set instance name.'  I understand that this action should change the instance name in the My Nintex dashboard to the selected variables in the action.  This will make the instance easily identifiable by the user. Is the action configured correctly?  There is no change in the name reflected in the My Nintex dashboard. See attached screenshots.

Hello,I want to use the padLeft functionality to change a variable in my NAC workflow.Is it possible to use any functions in the workflow, or are they exclusivly for Nintex Forms?Using Nintex for SharePoint 2019 it was possible to use the functions inside of a workflow likefn-padLeft(txtDocumentID, 5, "0")Is there maybe a workaround to achive this without buildung a custom action for NAC?Thank you and best regardsNiklas

Hi Team, I have been creating some custom formulas and today when wanting to edit one, it had vanished.This is how I have been creating them and what it should look like.But today when going to edit one, it shows this:When I test it in preview it works as intended. I spent a lot of time creating the formula, so I am hoping there is a way for me to recoup the code? Any advice is appreciated. Cheers,Benjamin.

Hi,   I have a workflow that is not giving the option to select ‘Current Item’.  I need that to loop.  below is a output from a ‘Query a List’ .  ID’s for records to interrogate I have available coming from SharePoint Online menu item  / a notification email shows each ID I need to hit.  but in the loop I”m only getting a single record even though appears I am hitting my list through all records.But only get the first tested record to send a run if true email based on conditions.      The Output →  result is of type file.

I have a simple wizard where I need to copy four columns from excel and paste the values in fields of a web base application.My commands include:**Get worksheet (Excel worksheet actions DAC); Copy from Excel (range of cells into a variable); Get Array Data (using column delimiter, I am separating each column value into a variable, to later ‘input text’ in the application)My problem is when the command for Get Array Data pulls in the last column it also brings in the row delimiter and the value of the first column.    The command reads like this:  From the array stored in (my variable created from the Copy from Excel) Where items are delimited by $column delimiter$ Get the value of item #4 (since it is column 4).  My row delimiter is ***.  The value that is pulled in for the last column and stored in the variable reads something like this:  123456***123456789.  It pulls in the data in the last column AND the data in the first column of the next row.Any help you have to offer with this w
