{Common:ManagerDisplayName} blank

    {Common:ManagerDisplayName} blank

    I have been trying to get around this issue for several days now. In a Nintex 2010 workflow, when referencing the Manager's Display Name in an e-mail notification, nothing appears in the e-mail for the manager's name.

    Does anyone else have issues with this?

    I have tried the LDAP Query and it will return the domain\username, but I can't get the username to convert to text (our local set up uses the usernameID.)

    If I use the {Common:manager} it also returns the domain\username in the e-mail.

    However, when I use the {Common:manager} in the SharePoint list, it shows the manager's display name.

    Is there a Nintex link that's broken or is this a known issue? I have tried all kinds of work arounds trying to use the sAMAccountName, distinguished Name, displayName, managerName, etc. Nothing returns the text value of the user.

    If nothing else, is there a way to convert it?

    Please help!

    I found a workaround.

    Query User Profile: When Defining the user, choose the common: manager

    To get text, return the "name" field and store it in a variable (result: LastName, FirstName)

    To get first name last name: create variables for the FN and LN, then "Set a Variable" with the concantenated string.
