How to make any field mandatory in Nintex form

Hi All,

          To make any field mandatory in Nintex form is very simple and just follow the steps below.

Note: We can follow the same steps to make any field mandatory in Nintex task forms for example the comment box in the task form which we get in Assign a task action in Nintex workflow.

• Select the field which you want to be mandatory and click on it.
• Click Rules --> Add Rule from the ribbon
• Rule type --> Validation
• Type the following rule in the Rule box
• isNullOrEmpty({self})&&TaskOutcome=='No'

Note: Select isNullOrEmpty from the Run time functions.

         Select self from Named Controls.

         Type your outcome value inside Single quotations ('') (Here No is my outcome).

           Task Outcome is the Field that I want to make it mandatory and I am making it as              mandatory only if the approver selects the value "No" here.

jQuery Apostrophe alternative code

jQuery Apostrophe alternative code

Hi All

We use jQuery in SharePoint by adding the text file that contains the jQuery code into a Content editor web part. 

We may want to use [ ' ] Apostrophe symbol in any of the field name that we fetch from SharePoint lists.

When we use the symbol directly in the code, the page will not get loaded and probably we will see an empty page without any styles.

To fix this error we just need to input an alternative alphanumeric text instead of the symbol.


Original symbol   :   '

Alternate text      :   '


Example : 

               The name we want with Apostrophe      :  S'ins

               The alternate text that we should enter :  S'ins

Happy Learning !!!

Lookup Column issue in Run If condition - Nintex workflow

         Lookup Column issue in Run If condition - Nintex workflow


Hello everyone,

          Sometimes there may be an issue in Nintex workflow, when you configure "Run If" action where you have to select a field that is Lookup column type we will face problems while saving the action or publishing the workflow.

The error:

             Reason for this error is the lookup column that we selected. To get rid of this issue we need to include another action.

          Before the Run if or any Conditional action, include "Set a workflow variable" action and create a workflow variable with text type. Use this variable in this action and assign the current item's lookup column value.

          Using this variable, configure the Run if action or any other Conditional action and Publish the workflow. The workflow will be published without any error.

Happy learning and I hope this will help in a better way...


Keep learning ...
