How to see previous data after field update to choice column

Hello Nintex Family,I have a issue currently where I’ve updated a single line SP text field to a choice drop down field. I’ve removed the field from Nintex form and readded and confirmed everything is working perfect on newly created items and the drop down field. The issue is when a user goes to open a existing item and chooses to edit, the field turns totally blank instead of showing the actual previous field that was entered in the Single text field. The previous entries that went into the single text field before are not options that are available in the new choice field that it’s been converted to. Even though it’s showing blank, I can click save and it does still keep the previous value but of course this is causing users to be totally confused when they edit a item and see blank box. What is needed to make sure previous values still show in this converted choice drop down field even though that value does not match any of the choices? The actual SharePoint field is set to

Nintex JS-Insert plugin not available in the design palette

I submitted a comment on the NAC Form Plugins topic, but it’s a relatively long thread and my comment is kind of “buried” at the bottom, and I haven’t received any replies. So I thought I’d start a new topic.A couple of months ago I downloaded the JS-Insert plugin and it seems to have been successfully installed in my tenant, but it is not available on the form design palette. This is what I see:I’ve tried both hovering over and clicking the warning icon, but nothing happens. Any explanation for this icon and the unavailability of the plugin?

Nintex introduces beta release of Nintex Automation Cloud Tables

Built-in data storage capabilities streamline building workflows in Nintex Automation Cloud We are thrilled to announce the beta release of Nintex Automation Cloud Tables, providing a centralized, scalable way to store, manage, and connect process-related data across business-critical applications. Capabilities covered in this blog will be added to the product over the approximately two-month-long beta release period.Workflow automations frequently rely on data from multiple sources, such as customers, employees, or internal storage systems like SharePoint, to successfully execute. Managing data stored in multiple locations can be fragmented, onerous, and error-prone for application developers building custom business applications, who want all aspects of their apps centrally accessible and managed.When app developers build apps leveraging workflows, forms, and data in a single, self-contained platform, designs are streamlined and simplified leading to accelerated development times and

Populate choice column by a list lookup control

Hello all, I am currently running Sharepoint 2016 with Nintex Forms 2016 (4.6.2.0) In one of my sharepoint lists I have a lot of lookup and managed metadata columns. For reasons irrelevant to the question here, I need to change as many of the former to single text or choice columns as possible. For single text columns I can achieve this, by using a list lookup control in forms which get data from different source lists and assign selected choice as text to the single text column. This works as intended for single choice lookup columns, since I in Sharepoint View I can still filter the column by those choices. However, if I have multi-select lookup column, the result is a comma-separated value. Let’s say, from a list with choices “A”, “B” and “C” - I would select “A” and “C”. The single text column then contains a text value: “A; C”. Filtering this column in a sharepoint view gives me then not the choices “A” and “C” as it would be in a proper lookup column, but a choice “A; C” which of

Hide group if current user display name not contained in field

I’m using the New Responsive Form Designer for 365 on a Sharepoint Online list. I have a group on the form that should only be visible if the current user is present in a pre-filled people picker field. These are basically the admins. The people picker field will have more than one user listed. I have a temporary label, for testing, that displays the current user display name and it matches perfectly the way the name is presented in the people picker field. I cannot get the hidden group to display however.This seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but I’m not having any luck. What am I doing wrong?

Open folder in Windows Explorer from Nintex Forms

Hello,I always had a link to folder containing attachments to the element on form.The code is: Attachments (<a class="ms-rtestate-write" onclick="selectThis(this);" contenteditable="true" href="javascript:void(0);" link="true" reftext="folder" reflink="{ItemProperty:attachmentsFolder}" style="text-decoration: underline; color: blue;">folder</a>The link on the forms has a proper destination::file://server/sites/XX/YY/Lists/List/Attachments/22687Recently the link stopped to work. I use Google Chrome.The link cannot be opened directly from the form - no reaction.Using "open link in new tab" generates the empty page about:blank#blocked.If I copy and paste the same link into Windows Explorer (e.g. Windows + R) the folder is opened correctly.How to get the functionality to open Windows Explorer window, containing attachments back?Best Regards, Marek
