Action Set - Elevate Permission
Would like to have a feature to elevate permission for users that do not have sufficient permission.
7 votesThis is an Office 365 construct. The way to resolve this would be to create a Connection that has the sufficient permission and use as the connection for the action.

Atomic operations in Action Sets
For parallel path execution, please add a checkbox to the Action Set called "Enable Atomic Operation" - Any actions contained within the Action Set will execute without switching to another parallel branch. There are many scenarios that would benefit from this.
1 voteThe actions in the parallel branches execute in parallel within the engine v2.
It’s not executing each action at a time across the branches in a round robin pattern.
Please reach out if I’ve misunderstood the suggestion.

Ability to error trap in WFC and send email to requester
When a connector fails, it is necessary to trap the error. Then using that error to take action, such as send an email to the requester of the WFC. Currently, when a connector action fails, alerts can be sent to WFC administrators only.
4 votesIn this use case, the best course of action recieved from other customers has been to notifiy Admins or Businss Owners.

Form Submission Limits
There are forms that we would like verified users to only be allowed to submit once during a time frame. This would be like Nintix Live has where you can allow a list of users or all users to submit a form but give them a limit of how many times they can submit the form for processing. This has been helpful in setting up forms for say a voting or survey process.
6 votesThank you very much for posting your feedback on form submission limits for our review.
At this time, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog, as we are focused on other improvements such as accessibility, localization, forms extensibility and reusability.

Response output as JSON instead of string when component workflow is triggered from external system
When I try to use the OpenAPI swagger specification for a component workflow and trigger the workflow from another system - the response output is a string which has the instance id of the workflow that was triggered. Instead could this be returned as a JSON object? Is there any future release plan that would make this change?

Improve error handling
Received the below error:
Incompatible character encoding: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8
The issue ended up being caused by a salesforce process trigger failing within the workflow. The error was not relevant to the underling issue, making it hard to troubleshoot the issue.
8 votesThank you very much for posting your suggestion. Due to insufficient information on the specific error, we will not be proceeding with this.

Copy a collection variable to another collection variable
I am looking for an action to copy the content of a collection variable to another collection variable. Essentially duplicating the content.

Start Event trigger filters
When trying to set a conditional start option for date, you are only able to set a "SET" date. it cannot be a variable or a context item, like [TODAY]. In my use case I have a workflow executing when an opportunity in MSCRM has been moved to a certain stage. I don't want the workflow to execute if the stage was change yesterday and the the record has been updated and still on that same stage. Placing a time constraint will solve this as I know exactly when the stage was set.

Specify workflow salesforce component enhancement
In Salesforce, you can now add the Nintex Workflow component to your pages. Since workflows are usually specific by object or otherwise, it would make a lot of sense if the workflow could be selected and attached to a component. Further, if the form could just show up without showing the name of workflow that would be great.
Another enhancement would be the ability to call a workflow from a button or action directly. For this there is a work around, create a custom checkbox field, set workflow to run when checkbox is checked and immediately uncheck when workflow starts.…
1 voteUnfortunately we will not be pursuing this idea as the Nintex Workflow Cloud for Salesforce component has been deprecated and is no longer supported.

External Start workflow to support response content
External start to return results in the REST response body, in json format or xml.

Capture of Request Content in workflow variable
External start workflow required the "Request content (parameters)" to be provided in the body of the REST call, capturing the "Request content" into a workflow variable, allows capture of additional data that are not defined as Start Variable(s) of the workflow. This capability supports External Start workflow in Nintex Workflow Cloud to be used as a "Callback URL" end point. This end point with the "Request Content" captured, supports the parsing of returned data and actions to be taken against the returned data.
External Start workflow if capable of capturing Request Content is important as it supports action to be…

Web Service - support for HTTP
Call a Webservice should support HTTP not just HTTPS
8 votesUpon review, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog. However, we reevaluate requests every quarter and will reach out if priorities change. Please keep the feedback coming as it is critical for our longer-term planning.

Calculate a value, make it VALUES
Calculate value should allow multiple calculations in one action
1 voteAs this can be achieved using multiple actions, we will not be pursuing this as including it to support more values introduces complexity to the config of the action. i.e. which pair of multiplication and division should happen first, if there are other parts of the calculation, etc.

Store Item for Remove Item from Collection
"Remove item from colleciton" collection operation does not currently support to store the removed item to a variable, because of this, we will need to use two collection operations to achieve the goal of removing an item from collection + store the removed item to a variable.
- Get item from collection
- Remove item from collection
If the "Remove item from collection" has the "Store Item" field, that can avoid by just calling the "Remove item from collection" without the "Get item from collection" first.
