How can we improve Nintex Workflow for Office 365?

Wait for field change in current item - multiple values with OR

I would like to be able to say "wait for the field to change to this value OR that value, then do this action" - there is currently no option for entering multiple values.

Please have a look at the condition builder just released as part of conditional start. Is this the kind of condition builder that you need in “wait for field change in current item” ?

    Yes, we do need similar condition builder as we have many workflows in on-prem, built using this action. Can we know by when this can be started?

  • Srinu commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Is there any update on this functionality. Most of our workflow has a condition to continue only after updating a value. So, mostly we used "is not empty". Is there any workaround?

    Any update on this functionality? Like Russ H mentioned we need "Contains, Not Equal, Begins with, Ends With. At least Not Equal to so that we can compare if the Item is Modified"

    Hi Jon,
    Yes that is exactly what we need... Thanks...

    So surely it's just a copy n paste of the code and we're good to go!!!!! ;-)

    Cheers
    Russ.

    I have a lot of Nintex 2013 On Premise Workflows that I have to re-create in our new Office 365 SharePoint/Nintex environment and I am getting more and more frustrated with the changes (and not the better) between OnPrem and OnLine. This is one example; many of my current on-prem forms have an action "Wait for Approval Status to be not empty"......but in Office 365....you cannot do this. The new "Wait for Field Change in Current Item" only allows for a single option. For example, I can wait until the status = approved OR wait until the status = rejected.....but not either!

    Is there an estimated timeline when the additional logic will be available on this workflow action?

  • Russ H commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Any plans,comments from Nintex on this request, it is a serious limitation compared to OnPremise?

    Please add Contains, Not Equal, Begins with, Ends With. At least Not Equal to so that we can compare if the Item is Modified

  • Keith commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add Contains, Not Equal, Begins With, and Is Not Empty. Without these other options, this workflow activity is barely usable.

    Add the option to wait a field is empty in the action "Wait for field change in current ítem"

  • D. M. commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The fact that you cannot wait for a field to 'not be empty' is incredibly limiting.

  • Cedric commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Could you pelase add more options to the "wait for field change in current item" action ?

    in Nintex for SharePoint 2010 you have to possibility to use the wait action in order for a field to wait for being filled in... but here this is not possible. you can only wait until a field equals the value of the current field.

    this is useless when you want (as I do...) to wait for a column to be filled in with the name of the approvers after the document creation.

    Thanks

    Would love this action to support not equals, is empty is not empty as options. It is difficult to use just equals for DateTime fields.
