Hi, over the weekend my workflow started to error out at the following action. I have no idea why it started failing all of a sudden. When approvers go in to approve the task, they are able to approve it however the status of the workflow shows up blank and it errors out with “The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Access Denied”. Things to note:The current workflow task history is hitting 55000+ items which does surpass the threshold. I will work to get the task item count below the threshold.  Additionally, I have provided the group of approvers with Contribute access, it was previously just member access.  I have also tried to add a commit pending changes before the “Start CreateRequestNum workflow” and this hasn’t helped in anyway The workflows started erroring today as soon as someone approves the request, it restarts the workflow and errors out at the following action. See second picture.

I have a multi line of text column set to Enhanced rich text and to append changes to existing text. In my workflow I take the value from another column (CommentInitialReview), modify the text through a Build string action, log the variable resulting from the Build string action, Commit pending changes and then attempt to update the item with a Update field action. Despite the fact that I have the Commit pending changes action and despite the fact that variable produced from the Build string action logs a non-null value, I still get the infamous “The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.” Below are the configurations for each action: build application commentlog application comments Update application commentsBelow is the workflow history generated from one of the failures:  This error appears constantly in our Nintex processes and causes critical failures very often. Any help would be appreciated.

In the course "Collection operations - Nintex for Office 365" I am having a couple of issues when trying to create a collections workflow following the Module Test at the end of the course. First, let me state the first problem; our organization does not make Nintex for Office 365 available to us, therefore I have to use Nintex Workflows for SharePoint On-Prem. Because the collection actions used in the course are not the same as the ones in On-Prem, I wasn't able to recreate a lot of them, but I did the best I could. I have three problems:* My collection action will not capture the "Check if Item Exists in Collection" accurately* Because of this, my conditional branch doesn't operate properly. If a new city is added, and that city already exists in the list, the workflow won't proceed down the Yes path and send an email notifying the user that this city is already on the list. the No condition seems to operate properly.* My outputs will not increment per city even though I have an ind

The UI-Only field I have added to an object is not showing as a field to be selected when rendering or updating a field. 

I have a deck that is showing cards for all of our open opportunities within a certain category. I want to display within each card the opportunity line items linked to the opportunity of that card and do so within a Skuid list. A table isn’t looking quite right. I can’t seem to find a way to set the context to get this to work. Would lover some help on how to do this.

Hello!I have a sharepoint library where one of my lists is overdue items. How can I setup a workflow so that this overdue list is emailed out to specific people on a weekly basis?I tried the alerts feature but that only works if items are modified. I saw something about querying a list but didn’t really know how to use it

hello,I have two controls where they are both the same if statement, but one returns the current user and the other returns the date. Is there a way to combine both of these into a single control, so that if box1 equals true, it will return the user and the date? IF((box1==true), userProfileLookup(Current User,"PreferredName"),"") IF((box1==true),formatDate(Current Date,"MM/dd/yyyy"),"")

My platform is Nintex Form and Workflow for SharePoint 2019 and I am developing a task form to allow UAT tester to upload their UAT result attachment to Workflow task form (via Flexi-task). And I have added a particular workflow in the those workflow task list to copy the UAT result attachments to Document Library under specific folder, then the core workflow will build the HTML table with hyperlinks to access the UAT attachments stored in Document Library.  My question is how Nintex Workflow for SharePoint to get all attachment links under specific folder of Document Library? I have tried to get the attachment links via GetAttachmentCollection() method of Lists web service _vti_bin/Lists.asmx but in vain. It seems lists.asmx is only for SharePoint lits but not for Document Library. Thanks a lot.

Hi there, I’ve got a staff member that is denied access to her own processes unless I make her a Promaster.  I’d understand if they are unpublished and someone else’s, but they are hers - so there should be no reason for her not to see them.   Any ideas what’s happening or what I should check?Thanks

Hello,Is there a way to send a task to a Shared Mailbox in NAC?  My user’s do not want individual people to receive task emails.  They want just 1 email sent to a Shared Mailbox.  When I do this, the link to the task brings up this error message.  Is there a any way around this?  

In NAC, is it possible to assign a task without sending out an email?  I think the functionality to control a task email was available in On-Prem, and not available in O365.  Looking at the NAC task configuration, I don’t see a way to disable the email, but I just wanted to double check . 

As I understand, NAC is not programmed to accept additional valid phrases that map to "Approve" outcome in flexi task express approval (similar to Nintex 2013 and O365). I suppose you could create a custom outcome for each common response (e.g. Approved, ok, yes, etc), but that would significantly expand our 9 branch state machine workflow. Are there other options or is valid phrases on the roadmap for NAC?

I have a ~20 page document that has variable content that I’m pulling from SQL server to populate data points throughout the document. I would like to use NAC to allow the user to select a location and then have it auto-populate all the dynamic content (this is all doable). The problem I’m running into is trying to set the document for printing. By default, even if you add pages to an NAC form, it just puts page breaks wherever they are needed rather than allowing me to define where I want those page breaks. I tried creating custom CSS using “page-break-after: always;” but calling the style does not accomplish the goal. I also tried putting the style directly into the HTML but it strips it out whenever I click off the HTML form and it goes back to the WYSIWIG so it does not stay.  I checked out the CSS Guidelines and I don’t see a way to do what I’m trying to do. Also, all the other posts out there don’t apply to NAC so I won’t bother posting them here as resources.  Thanks in advance

Using Nintex Automation Cloud for Document Generation we would like to add some links to the generated document.  This works fine with two defects.  First we can only show the URL rather than friendly text in the final PDF.  Second and more significantly if the URL is longer than one line the link fails because it stops at the line break.   

Constructing a rule so that depending on a “reason code” that is selected, 2 additional columns are now required to be filled in.  It works just fine for a single selection but if I duplicate the rule and then modify to reflect the 2nd choice, only 1 of the rules will work.  For building a single rule, as you see in the attached, you don’t get an option to add an “or” condition….only “and”.

Issue DescriptionWhen you first create a reference that loops through and assigns approvers for a task to a variable, the task step will reassign the task to another group of users which will send the Workflow back to re-create the reference, which will loop through the new approvers. However, when running it a second time, if the task is redirected, the loop item reference appears to be empty which causes the task to fail due to no recipients.Error Message:The following error occurs: "At lease one destination should be set"ResolutionThe fix is available in:Nintex Automation (5.7) Fix Pack 13.
