Pull hidden field from repeat section in form

I'm trying to pull information from a hidden field in a repeated section in a form into the workflow. I have been able to accomplish this using a form variable with the convert to string action however because its in a repeat section it rolls all each field in each repeate section into one variable. I'd like to keep these fields hidden on the form any ideas on how to pull it into the workflow?

Modified by column defaults to initiator's user name after workflow completion?

I have a number of worflows that are working when users pass same form between themselves and update certain fields. The initiator usually creates the request and then the form is modified by different users. I noticed that during the workflow, the "modified by" field is correctly showing the last person who edited the form, but as soon as the workflow ends, modified by field defaults back to initiator's name. Is there a way to show the last person who approved/modified the form? Initiator's name logically shouldn't be there as last modified since he is not touching the form at all since raising initial request. Thank you for any suggestions!

Nintex Gateway upgrades and new connections

I was just reading through the release notes for Nintex Gateway.Nintex Gateway release notes  I noted that upgrading to the latest version 2.2.2 would create new connections in NWC. The upgrade process to Nintex Gateway v2.2.2 will uninstall and install Nintex Gateway on the machine you upgrade. This means the connection to Nintex Workflow Cloud is lost. Once the new version of Nintex Gateway is started, you must create a new connection to Nintex Workflow Cloud. This means that Nintex Workflow Cloud will update the entry for your specific Nintex Gateway instance. A new entity is created, which means that your Nintex RPA Connector, Microsoft SQL Server on-premises Connector, and SharePoint on-premises Connector connections must be updated, and the new entry for Nintex Gateway selected.  Currently I'm on 2.1.2 and as we use nintex gateway for more workflows connecting to on-premise resources, this is not really a long term practical solution. Surely there can be a way to more 'smartly' u

Issues Interacting with a Windows Application

Looking for some advice on another way around this. I have a BOT that interacts with one of our business applications on Windows, Viewpoint Vista. I have the BOT Clicking on fields, buttons etc. Essentially I have a workflow that a user kicks off, that will then start the BOT on a remote server. The BOT will first open the application, and is then presented with a login screen. The BOT will then enter a username/password and hit a login button. This is where I am having issues. This step in the process will never complete, if I let the BOT run by itself on our Remote Server. The only way i can get it to work, is if I RDP into that server to watch the BOT Run. Then the BOT has no problem filling in the username/password. I have tried using the click actions, as well as just tabbing through the fields on the login screen. Both never work, when I'm not remoted into the Server. Any suggestions to get this to work, so I we dont have to remote in and babysit the BOT? Thanks,Zach

Python 3.7.9 integration for RPA version 21.4 and above

As of version 21.4 RPA is supplied with updated version of Python - 3.7.9 This version of python is enforcing the use of utf-8 (while on previous versions we had python 3.5) If you use the “Use Custom Encoding” option for the run script AC, it may cause issues with data processing:  In that case after the upgrade to 21.4 (from 19.5) there was no longer need to Use Custom Encoding. Here are some of the listed improvements: CPython implementation improvements:Avoiding the use of ASCII as a default text encoding: PEP 538, legacy C locale coercion PEP 540, forced UTF-8 runtime mode For reference, here are the release notes for Python.

Sharepoint Client Authentication

I'm developing a web application that uses Office 365 authentication.I need to access users' SharePoint files. The app is a Multi-Tenant application, it means that I don't know the Sharepoint URL, but I can use Microsoft Discover API to discover the Sharepoint URL of the current user.I want to acess sharepoint files using the Microsoft.Sharepoint. Client library. Consider the following code:ClientContext context = new ClientContext("https://discoveredserver.sharepoint.com");// The SharePoint web at the URL.Web web = context.Web;// We want to retrieve the web's properties.context.Load(web);I get a 403 not authorized because the client object doesn't have the credentials. The problem is that I can't set credentials during runtime because I don't have it, the only thing that I have is the Bearer token, which allows the connection to the Sharepoint API, using an HTTP header authorization.Is there any way to set the Bearer token in the Sharepoint client to call Sharepoint Web Services?

task list permissions

I think there must be something wrong with my installation? I have a flexi task that assigns tasks to people that may not necessarily be an owner or member of the site. The tasks in the Workflow Task List are NOT editable by the person they are assigned to. Is  that how it is supposed to work? Am I supposed to let all people be able to complete any task?

Have an NWC start event from an on premise Sharepoint form/workflow

Is there a way that a NWC start event can be from an on premise Sharepoint nintex form/workflow.  If yes, where do you go into the on premise Sharepoint to connect to a NWC tenet?  I have setup my NWC tenet to download into our on premise and that works great.  I just haven't figured out how to go the other direction.

Nintex Form freezes when Saving or Submitting the form - A variable formula causing issue

Adding this to hopefully help anyone else that is experiencing this issue that took me weeks to discover. Hopefully Nintex can correct this issue by implementing an 'invalid formula warning' when trying save a variable formula using a Nintex Function that's structured incorrectly. TLDR:I created a formula using a Nintex funciton for a variable and Nintex allowed me to save as a valid formula with no warning. However, the formula used in the variable was invalid and prevented my form from Saving or Submitting. It did not matter if the Nintex function used my variables or a value from a Form Control. It appears to affect multiple Nintex funtions:count() INVALID count(value1 + value2) VALID count(value1) + count(value2) convertToString() INVALID convertToString(value1 + value2) VALID convertToString(value1) + convertToString(value2)        My Journey:I had a robust form with about 400 Nintex controls. I started developing variables and rules to assist the user populating the informatio

Input Validation Pattern To Match Symbols

I've never understood why Nintex Forms use the reverse of the logical JavaScript pattern to match strings for input validation, but I've usually been able to figure out how to match what I want.  This time, I'm stuck. I've got a New Responsive Designer form in O365.  I want to invalidate any input of a non-word character in a text field.  With this pattern...  It matches if I only input symbols.  As soon as I add a letter or number, the match fails.  Anyone know the pattern to make this work?

Redirect and reload

I have a single nintex form associated with 7 different pages. Right now I have it such a way that whenever a user fill out the form and do a save and close the user is redirected to the page based on the title of the page.  For example: fn-if(fn-contains(Site URL, "continent_Africa"), "www.somesite.com/country/continent_Africa.aspx", fn-if(fn-contains(Site URL, "continent_Asia"), "www.somesite.com/country/continent_Asia.aspx", fn-if(fn-contains(Site URL, "continent_Australia"), "www.somesite.com/country/continent_Australia.aspx")))of course, it's all 7 continents.  However, I want to refresh that page also.  I used the following in the Client click field in the form settings, window.location.reload(), but the unfortunately the page did not refresh.  Is there a way to do this?Help! 😕 Thank you in advance!

Update Word Document with data from K2 SmartObject

Hi, Is it possible to update an existing Word document with data from a K2 SmartObject? Has anyone tried this with K2 Five? I have found a legacy post, which appears to refer to a Word Document Generator Service. However, we have currently avoided this for now as unless I am wrong it appears to be for K2 Blackpearl?  Also, I could not find much documentation for it. I do not know if this community control is still supported or would even work on K2 5.3 etc. So far, we have started to look at options within Word itself (mail-merge etc.). But ideally we are after a seamless and user friendly approach. It would be great if anyone has any experiences with what we are trying to do. Thanks

K2 Workflow Tasks gets locked to previous user

We have a K2 Five implementation which has workflows of version 4.7 running in compatibility mode. We do not use Smart Forms, bur instead use custom code for the front end.We have a peculiar issue where the tasks gets locked with the user in the previous step of approval.Example scenario:1) User initiates a workflow and sends these for authorization.2) User asks colleague to authorize.3) The colleague tries to authorize but reports back the error “Work item is already allocated to user name (of the person who initiated the workflow)”4) Currently the user goes into each work item and redirects to the colleague to authorize.This is new behavior and is affecting multiple colleagues. It also happens when you open a task and the task gets allocated to the person who opened the task first.I know that smart forms has a feature “Allocate Worklist Item on Open” which is available. If this option is selected, the task will be allocated to the first user who opens the task and other destination u

There is no connection string for the destination email...... for every instance, but ok after retry

Version K2 Five 5.3.All processes with Send Email Activity terminated with following errors: There is no connection string for the destination email address….But most of these errors can be resolved by just click ‘retry’. We have done these tests:1. The attachment server has no network packet loss.2. SMTP restriction is, 30 mails per minute, 10000 emails per day.We have done a stress test that a large number of SMTP messages were delivered in a short time. No error response. Only some delay happened when over 30 mails per minute.3. We setup a test environment, which has same settings of SMTP as production. In the test environment, we designed a process with only one Send Email event. 20 instances were started and resulted with 10 errors. Any advice is appreciated.
