Turn collection data into multiline text

Is it possible to have the data that is in a collection be put into a text variable, preferably a multi-line text variable?I have data saved in a collection that I need to be displayed in an email that the workflow sends. Placing the collection variable in the email does nothing (which I figured) but I haven’t been able to find any solution.

More than three repeating rows in nintex prevents Edit and saving of form

Greeting I have two part question regarding repeating section:Part 1:I am developing a form and observed that anytime, I have more than three rows in a repeating section. I cannot save the form. It throws an error.Once I delete the row and save, it works perfectly. In the repeating section, the min rows are 1, max rows are 10000, default rows is 1. I have a calculated field in the form that concatenates the values of a column in the repeating section. Are the values in this calc. field exceeding 255 characters? Any thoughts? Part 2:In the concatenated filed in Nintex form that combines all values in the repeating section has duplicate values. I have used fx (columnname,columnname) that helps combine all values in the column. This is working fine, other than repeating duplicate values. Is it possible to ensure distinct values in the field?Any help in this regard is appreciated

Imitate form open and close actions via a WF or JS

Hello Community. I have a form with multiple calculations performed inside the form with the results being stored in SharePoint list columns. Inputs to the calculations are both user inputs, form static values, and calculations dependent on other calculations within the form. User inputs are also stored in SharePoint list columns.The power users are allowed to input or change values in the list directly using a datasheet view as part of the business process for making bulk changes. Of course the calculation results fields in the list do not update as the form is not running.Opening and resaving the form does read the new inputs, recalculate the results, and store the new results back in the list. But we're talking about many hundreds to many thousands of records in the list, so it isn't feasible to manually open, save, and close all the items when a bulk change is made directly to the list.I originally thought that simply running a workflow to make an update to a field in the list woul

Get repeater XML using JavaScript

The application that I am working on requires to insert data that is in a in a Nintex form (of one SharePoint list) to a different list (in the same site) when the user clicks on a button that is in the form To clarify, assume the user is editing one of the list items in the list (for which the Nintex form has been built). Now he may change the form data and click the button. Then the  form data should get saved to a completely different list on the same SharePoint site (which is similar in structure to the list whose edit form the user is on). to meet this requirement - I used custom JavaScript code to pull data from the Nintex form and insert it into the other SharePoint list. This approach is working great for all the fields in the form but I am having trouble with the repeater controls that are in the form. As you may be aware Nintex stores the data within a repeater as XML when the OOTB Save is invoked. We would like the same thing to happen when the data is inserted into the othe

Dropdown Conditional Required validation depending on item chosen.

I have a form that has a dropdown menu “application” and when a certain item “cres” is chosen there is a formatting rule that shows or hides that text field depending on one certain item. That part works well, but I need required validation for that same item “cres” and field so that if anything else is chosen besides that one item, it is not required, but if that one item “cres” is chosen, that text field is required.  The following formula works as far as validating for if “cres” is chosen, but it still validates required if something else is chosen and the field is hidden. What am I missing?Application != 'CRES' && IsNullOrEmpty({Self})

Check for existing value in a collection

 We have a library we will register project documents.  We create a workflow to check if the projectcode that the user enters exists.Therefore we perform a collection operation with the exist action on a list on another site. The projectcodes in  source list consists of 2 letters, a space and 2 or 3 digits, ie [aa 123].In the workflow we query to list to get a collection. In the next action we perform a collection operation to see if the projectcode the user entered  exists in this collection.It turns out that the collection operation exist never returns a “ true”  result.On a list with no spaces the exist operation works as expected.How can we use the collection operation on a collection with spaces?  And is this a bug or feature?

How do I display calculated value (adding rows) in nintex form to sharepoint list column?

I am working on creating a nintex form. I have situations where there is a need to add multiple rows under a unique column.Example: On the sharepoint list I have a column called student score (total of scores in10 subjects). In the nintex form, I have repeating rows under the column called scores, which captures individual scores in 10 subjects.Score10101040501010101010I used a calculated value to add rows in this column, using Sum(Scores). It is working correctly and giving correct value. Now, I need to update the sharepoint list with this calculated value from Nintex form.

Enable version history on workflow

I’m trying to get access to the version history of a workflow after seeing on Nintex documentation site (View workflow versions (nintex.com)), however, my workflow designer doesn’t have a Version History button, which shows that it’s been disabled, so was wondering how I’d go about getting this re-enabled. Please note that I am working with an on-premis version of Nintex workflow.

Extract a substring from the end of a string and save as a variable in Nintex Forms.

Hello,I have a form for a SharePoint list which collects information about travel requests.  One of the fields is for an Admin Code (AC), and another is for a Common Account Number (CAN) which is basically a bank account number.  Each AC has it’s own set of CANs.In order to make things easier on the users, I created a second list which contains the ACs and CANs and I have those as cascading dropdowns in the form.  For some reason it’s adding a number and # before the AC and before the CAN. In order to get the correct AC and CAN in the original list, I had to create a variable to extract the last portion of the string.The problem I’m having is that some of the numbers being inserted are only one digit.On those items, the variable I created is starting the extraction count at 4 when (on these specific items) it should be starting the count at 3.Is there a way to get the end of the substring to start after the # sign?

Set a condition not working. String contains string

Hi all,I have a set a condition action that isn’t working and I can't figure out why. I’m doing an LDAP query to gather members of an AD group. I’m setting a collection variable then doing an collection operation to Join with a ; delimiter and saving the results as a string, “StrADGroupMembers”. I’ve tried contains and contains ignoring text, but it still isn’t catching it. I’m sending the variables to myself in an email and the group members “StrADGroupMembers” clearly contains the employee value “StrEmployeeDisplayName”. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?  It’s driving me bonkers.

Workflow Create Item is making multiple items

SharePoint 2016I have a workflow that collects data via for each loops, and at the end of the last loop it will create an item in a list and log that data. My issue is that it is making multiple items when it should only be making one. When the loops result in only having one entry to make it is fine, but if there are two items that need to be created, it is making four (two of each data sets). There are three levels of loops nested within each other, if that makes any impact. I made sure that collections remove duplicates. The Workflow The duplicating items being createdEDIT: Here are clearer images of the workflow.

Compare two lists

I have two lists,A-list :- there we set up cost acceptance requests which are used to describe invoices, they are numbered list B- list of invoices, where we use the approval number from list A for the description (we enter this number in one of the fields)I have been asked if it is possible to compare the two lists, so that in the list, next to the number of the approval that has already been used in list B, there would be some kind of marking, for example "Used".Is it possible to create something like this? Because frankly I have no idea Best regards

How to reference an task created by workflow

I am creating a task assigning it to our IT group so that anyone in that group can complete the task.  I have to send the notification to our Helpdesk application via Email.  I created a parallel action.  One branch creates the task, the other branch waits for a minute and then sends the notification to the Helpdesk.  In the notification, I would like to reference the task created.  How do I get the value of the task created?  The “Store Task Id” in variable isn’t populated until the task has been completed.  How else can we get the value of the task ID?

Usage of loop to create x number of items in SP List

I wish to automatically create x number of items in a SP Custom list. For this I am using below steps, but the loop runs only 1 time and remains in in-progress state after that. Start by creating an Integer variable (named x) and set it to the value from the form of the number of items you want to create in the list. Next add a Loop action and configure it as: Condition is "if any value equals value", Where "Workflow Data" x, is greater than, Value 0. Inside the Loop action, add and configure the create item action (i.e. "Create item" or "Create item in another site" action).  Then inside the Loop action and after the previous step, add a Math Operation action and configure it as:  Calculation "Workflow Data" x Minus Value 1 Store result in = x Only 1 single item gets created and nothing really happens after that. Any idea why this is happening? Note: This is for SharePoint 2019 on-Prem version of Nintex.
