I want to make a view read only and data reading from the smart object 

I’m trying to make a couple of simple “Hello world” queries with the Nintex RPA REST API.The documentation examples use Postman, but that’s unavailable in my environment.  So I’m trying to use Powershell instead.My second API call, a graphql query to get the RPA version, is failing with “InvalidOperation”.Here’s the code:# Get Access Token:$response = "XXX"$uri = "http://MY_NINTEX_HOSTNAME/auth/realms/Kryon/protocol/openid-connect/token"$contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" # Implicitly set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" for POST method calls$formBody= @{client_id="kryon-public-api"grant_type="password"username="MY_NINTEX_USER"password="NINTEX_USER_PASSWORD"}$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method POST -ContentType $contentType -Body $formBody$access_token = $response.access_token#Write-Host "Get Access Token response: " $response #Write-Host "access_token: " $access_token # Get RPA Version:$response = "XXX"$uri = "http://MY_NINTEX_HOSTNAME/nintex-public-

Is there a workaround (rules or something) to disable ability to add/remove rows in a repeating section after default has been set? We just need people to add additional information to existing rows, not add/remove anything.  Please advise! 

Idea has been created for this, please vote for it! (https://ideas.nintex.com/ideas/CNV-I-314) We’re finding that the new Error Handling features are great - when they work.  Unfortunately, the vast majority of the errors we’ve gotten since its introduction still cause the workflows to fail. In almost all these cases, retrying the failing command would have succeeded, which is the point of the error handling. My assumption is that the errors we’re receiving aren’t setup to apply to Nintex’s error handling. Ideally (to me at least), this caveat wouldn’t even exist, and the error handling could apply to ALL instances where a step failed, regardless of how it failed. My question is this - If we have an error that we think error handling should be capable of catching, but isn’t, what is the preferred way for us to tell Nintex that we’d like to have it supported?  I presume either a support case or an Idea submission, but I’m making a forum post so that it’s public as to what way Nintex pre

I would like to setup a workflow to copy files, including their metadata, from on-premises SharePoint to SharePoint Online. Is this feasible? I’m using both Nintex Workflow Cloud and Nintex On-Premise. Please advise.

I have use case where I have a repeating section on the form. The users want the ability to copy the repeating section value to create a new entry and tweak it. I don’t see anyway in the Rules where I can dynamically add a New Row to the section. Anyone come across this?

Hi,I'd like to have a discussion about the section titled "Update the Service Account password after expiry" at the end of the documentation https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nintexautomation/icg/5.8/Content/Plan/Accounts.htm.I know that the password for the K2 service account can be changed using the K2 Setup Manager, but the wizard sometimes takes a long time to complete all its steps, and on top of that, re-applying the latest Fix Pack is another thing that needs to be done - even though changing the service account password seems so simple.I’d like to focus on the second method, which uses command-line parameters.Does anyone know of any other possible parameters for SourceCode.SetupManager.exe, or perhaps all of them?For example, I’m wondering if this method can also be used to change the password for the service account used for the IIS App Pools K2 and K2_net4, or can this just be changed directly in IIS? (I don't use a single account for everything)Another thing is that the instruct

Hi Nintex Community,I’m reaching out because we’re excited to be exploring a new graphical workflow execution view designed to give a clear and immediate visual of the path a workflow takes during execution. Our goal is to make it easier than ever to understand and analyse workflow activity.To make sure we’re heading in the right direction, we’d love to get your feedback. I’m looking for customers or partners who are interested in trying out an early concept and sharing their thoughts with us. If you’d like to be involved and help shape the future of this feature, please reply to this message or feel free to email me directly at rick.demarco@nintex.com. We anticipate the initial release to be ready in the next week or soI look forward to hearing your insights!Best regards,​@rickdemarco 

Ahhh Nintex Tables.  You've made life so simple for us.  It has certainly been a welcome addition to our capability that lots of customers have leveraged and so we continue to enhance its capabilities.Hot off the press is row history.  This new capability will help interested parties track changes made to data stored in a Nintex table.  This is particularly relevant for those who have governance and/or auditing requirements where you need to track who made changes and what those changes were.Of course we've always been able to do this by using logging actions in a workflow or writing to an audit table/database but now this functionality is baked into the product saving workflow designers more time as they don't have to record the before and after values any more. To get started, a table designer must enable row history tracking. Then to view changes within a row, simply right click anywhere on the row and select View history.You will be able to see who made the change, the date and tim

When you use the cursor in the formula designer, the field content does not move with the cursor movement. You can jump to the start or the end of the field, but there seems to be no way to get to the middle part of the content. ResolutionThe fix is available in:Nintex Automation K2 (5.9) Fix Pack 10. Ensure you have the correct K2 version installed.

Hello together,I have a problem with my K2 Smartobject. I have a SQL Database on another Server. When I configure the instance I use “static” authentification method. I connects to the server and no error message. Then when I try to use the method to get all the database entries. I get an error message. I think it uses a different conntext user. How can I use the right context SQL user? I’m also missing the methos for creating and updating a databaseI hope you can help me. Best regardsMatthias

What if you could hold a conversation with your process automation platform to quickly generate a purchase order request, rather than spending time hunting down vendor codes, cost centers, and product specs while working through revision after revision?In this proof-of-concept session, I enabled that capability with Nintex Automation K2 and Claude desktop. Ride along with me to learn more!When Anthropic released the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external systems, we started thinking about what it would look like to wire it up to K2 Five. So, to test it out I opened a conversation with Claude and we started building. What followed was one of the more interesting projects I have done in a while, and I wanted to share it with the Nintex community. Example use-case flowWhat Is MCP and Why Does It Matter for K2?The Model Context Protocol is a standard that lets AI models like Claude call out to external tools and APIs in real time during a

Hello together,I have an a string which look like this “test01@test.com;test02@test.com;test03@test.com”. No I want to loop through the string and send a spearate email to each email address. I tried this several times, but it won’t work in K2 Workflows Engine with the loop. Can you suggest me how I can build that kind of loop and send emails out?My workflow looks like that.Best regardsMatthias

Hi everyone. This is for my project. The scenario is the e-form will send out to the user and user will response through email outlook. That response (eg. Approve/decline) will determine the next progress in the workflow. Is there any possibility that the workflow or K2 five able to do such scenario? If can how can I setup in the workflow to receive the answer from outlook so that it will proceed to the next step?I just heard about smartAction that able to solve my problem. But how can I configure that smartAction since I dont have it in the K2 management. This is a new feature for me, so a bit confuses.  

Hi everyone,I have a question about task assignments and PDF generation.When a task assignment is completed and the form is submitted, we can download the results as a PDF from Tracking.Is it possible to add a step in the workflow so that, once the task is completed, the generated PDF is automatically taken and stored in another location, for example in SharePoint?Has anyone implemented something similar or knows if this is possible?Thanks!

Hi,I’m looking for some advice on whether the number of days for marking a process as reviewed (currently 60 days) is configurable.For example, could it be extended to 90 days to better align with the “due in 3 months” dashboard notification?We’ve had some queries from users who begin their review when the process first appears in the 3‑month window, but are then unable to complete it. They receive a message stating that the process cannot be marked as reviewed until it is within 60 days of the review date.It would be helpful to understand whether this setting can be adjusted, or if there is a recommended way to manage this more effectively from a user perspective.  Many Thanks 

I have a Nintex Workflow online start form with a Choice - Single control set as a drop down. The Options setting in the control is set to use a Table Data variable to get values for a Data table. The column in the Data table is a Location name (which are City names).Locations were initially added to the Data table with those values being in alphabetical order. New rows were added in table, but those values appear at the bottom of the table and are not in alphabetical order.On the form, the values in the Choice - Single form control appear in the order that they were entered and not in alphabetical order. I am looking a way to sort the choices alphabetically in the Choice - Single dropdown control. Is there a way to do this?Order of rows entered into the Data table and how they display in the choice drop down control on the form:AtlantaBostonChicagoNew YorkLos AngelesBaltimoreHoustonDesired way for then to display in the choice drop down control on the form (in alphabetical order):Atla

Hi there,We were running through an Incident that was reported through Improvements and the Incident owner was able to close it even though we have a different user as the portfolio manager. I thought the portfolio manager had to close the incident. How does the incident closer settings work? Should this have happened?Thanks,Bella

One of the most common challenges we come across is: “How do I let users submit multiple related items in a single form, while keeping my data structured and my automation flexible?”Many real-world use cases like equipment requests, expense claims, orders and inspections don’t fit neatly into a single‑record model. They need one primary record with many related items.Repeating Sections are now supported in forms linked directly to tables, unlocking powerful new design and automation patterns. How is this enabledPreviously, Repeating Sections were only available in forms attached directly to workflows. This update expands that capability and gives builders more control over how and when automation runs.Repeating Sections can now be added to forms linked to a tableDesign rich, relational data capture experiences without requiring the form itself to be workflow‑bound.Greater flexibility in workflow execution using table eventsTrigger workflows as needed with greater flexibility e.g. on cr

Hi,I have a K2 list view which uses a list display for one of the column controls. The control is bound to a field called “AnswerID”, and uses a smartobject called “Answers”, which contains the answer ID and description. This all works and displays the answer description when the ID is present in the underlying list view smartobject dataset.We also want to provide a way to update this answer, so in the Add/Edit row I have a drop-down list which is populated by another smartobject: “QuestionAnswers”. This contains the list of possible Answer IDs given the current Question ID. The display value is looked up from the associated “Answers” smartobject and the ID field is the AnswerID. When a row enters edit mode, this drop-down is populated for the relevant question. This also works.Where I am running into an issue is when applying the changes to the edited row. It appears that the selected AnswerID is being populated into the underlying smartobject, but the list display control still shows

Hi there,Just curious on any suggestions on best practice when receiving duplicate incident reports in the improvements module.For example, we currently have an incident that is under investigation/action and not yet resolved, so we are likely to continue receiving reports of the issue with examples that would assist with our currently in progress incident. Our thoughts to combine these would be to take a screenshot of the new report and upload it to the investigation section of the ongoing incident. Then deleting the new report as we will have all the information on this now included in the ongoing one.Would be great to hear others thoughts.Thanks!
