NWC Format date to string ISO8601 output format
For the NWC action format date to string can we add the ISO8601 date format please.
This is the format of yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss.mmm (no spaces)
or date style 126 in SQL format.
(see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15#date-and-time-styles)Thanks

Workflow search actions/variables
Sometimes you want to quickly jump to a certain action, or see where a certain variable is used. It would be great if there was a search bar somewhere on the workflow designer (see top-right of image for example) where you could search to match any variable names, action internal names, action renames) and it would bring them up a list of matches. Then you click next/previous to jump/highlight that action in the workflow (or if possible open the config and highlight where the value is used).
An awesome extension to this would be to 'remove all' instances of a…

functions
I need to do some simple string manipulations in a Cloud workflow (no forms), but Nintex support tells me that functions are not available in Nintex Workflow Cloud. Is that true?? If so, is there some alternative to using functions to manipulate strings? For example, I need to convert strings to all upper and all lower case.

Task Form File Available as File Variable
Currently files that are uploaded into a Task Form within NWC cannot be added to a File variable within the workflow designer as they're held as 'Collections' vs. 'Files'. Would be great if files from Task Forms acted as files throughout the rest of the workflow design.

This is currently being reviewed.

Assign a task - Auto complete task
Missing the ability to auto complete tasks, as found in Nintex for Office 365 for instance.
Would be great if this feature was added to NWC aswell.

workflow initiated datetime in start event context
The datetime for a when a workflow is initiated is not available in the workflow designer.
Consider if I have a form which has a date control for date and time called 'formdate'.
In the workflow designer when I insert a variable I have the 'formdate' in the 'start event'. That has a default value of datenow().
'Context' give current date/time and as well as workflow instance ID, etc.
'Start event context' supplies workflow initiator (if authenticated form).As actions can be delayed (ie use of current datetime) it would be great to have the datetime for when the workflow…
2 votesThanks for that.
Just to clarify – what would be the main use of this date capture?

More date formats
Hey guys, could we have a few more options in the Format date action? e.g. ddd mmm yyyy. i.e. combinations that have full names of days and months both in dd mm order and mm dd order. Cheers

Add actionable message to task email
There needs to be an option to add lazy approval actionable message to emails generated from tasks. One of the biggest drawbacks that is keeping me from switching from O365 to Cloud, is that option.
With current cloud lazy approval, user has to reply to email with response. With O365 actionable message, the user can click simply click on a response button. Having the user reply to an email, adds a layer of complexity that will allow for errors and delayed processes.

Debugging assistance: Capture JSON after a task or log all variables action
When a task is completed it would be handy to capture the JSON for debugging purposes. Alternatively if there was an action that logged all variables and their values, that would be useful too. It's possible to log all variables now but that means updating the action each time a new variable is created. If there was a "log all" action or something similar to the verbose logging that is available with Nintex on-prem this would help with debugging.
24 votesHey Chris,
Noted. We do have the verbose logging feature that you mentioned in the backlog.
As for capturing the JSON of the tasks we’ll need to look into that in further detail on how we would do that.

Retrieve day of the week from date/datetime variables
I would like to be able to take a date variable and find out the day of the week (Mon, Tue, etc.) There are times where I want to take action based on day of the week, but have no ability to do that right now.

I’ve added this idea to our product backlog – As we begin development, I will update this suggestion.

Box new file option - start workflow for all files in subfolders

Try catch block is missing workflow
Hi Team,
we cant see try catch activity in the workflow designer and its making problem big time for us in orchestrating the process flow as there is always set of activity which is error prone and if we dont put exception handling it will break the process instances so often and we are not able to take any remedation action of failure .

Fetch attachment type: file from salesforce records
Hi Guys,
As of now using "Get file from a record" in NWC able to get collection of files of type : attachment. It would be nice if this can fetch attachment type: file also from salesforce. I guess in future salesforce releases the type:attachment may not be supported moving forward to Lightning in salesforce.
Let me know if you need any more info.

Expand calculate date
I would love to be able to calculate the last workday of the week/month/year based on a date. It would also be great if the ability could be added to get the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th monday or other day of the month and some other options.
Could you please add this option?

Convert value and store into a different variable type
Hi guys,
Is there going to be an action where we can convert variables into other type of variables (Text to Date, etc)?
For Context: I'm building a workflow that will pull a date value from Salesforce. However, when NWC pulls this field, it creates it as a Text Variable. There isn't a way i can convert this variable back into a date type to use in the workflow.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks,
Pat
